Hearing Coralie's words, Hazel was not flustered at all. "Then you're wrong. It is my business that I covet him, but it is your business that you can't look after your man."
"As expected, you have a twisted viewpoint."
Coralie had met Lorraine before. Lorraine was also an outstanding woman but she was a little arrogant. She also had feelings for Skylar but she also felt that Skylar should be with an outstanding woman.
Lorraine had also questioned Coralie previously, but she was not as direct as Hazel.
"It is not a twisted view. It is just that I don't think a woman like you, who does not have any talents, is worthy of him. No matter if it's business or personal, President Holland is excellent, but what about you? What do you have? Why do you think you are capable enough to be Mrs. Holland'?"
She stood in her 10 cm high-heels, looking down at Coralie.
Coralie was stunned by her question. "Are you talking about business?"
"Marriage is also a business. How long do you think it will last? Can you assist President Holland? No! Can you support him when he is in danger? No! Do you think he will love you forever? No!"
She threw her own theory at Coralie one by one.
Lorraine was listening by the door. She also felt that Hazel's words were very reasonable.
"But, no matter what, President Holland is a married man. You should not covet a man who belongs to another person. Isn't that the basic moral of this society? It is between Skylar and me whether I'm worthy of him or not. It has nothing to do with you."
Coralie felt that Hazel was not an actual feminist.
Her twisted reasoning sounded very reasonable but it was actually fragile and vulnerable.
"Of course it has something to do with me. How could you win over such an excellent man? You don't deserve him at all, do you understand? You should find a man who is in a similar class as you."
Hazel became more and more agitated as she spoke.
Hazel was actually a little angry. In her eyes, Skylar was a sacred person. Especially after they had spent some time together, Hazel discovered that Skylar was the most outstanding man she had ever seen.
She could not accept the fact that such an excellent man was with this ordinary woman in front of her!
"Your ridiculous theory really leaves me speechless."
Coralie did not want to argue with her anymore.
"That is because you think I'm right. You know you're not good enough for him too, don't you?"
"Miss Meyer, Miss Meyer..."
Lorraine felt that something bad was going to happen if this continued. She hurriedly stopped Hazel.
However, Hazel pulled Lorraine aside and asked, "Assistant Thomas, do you think I'm right? Do you think it is right for President Holland to be with such a woman?"
"It is actually President Holland's business. He will be back soon. It is not good to let him see the both of you like this."
Lorraine estimated the time.
Furthermore, if this matter angered Skylar, he might not blame Hazel but might blame her instead.
"Ding dong."
Just then, the sound of the president's elevator rang. It was Skylar and Jayson.
When Skylar and Jayson walked out of the elevator, they felt that the whole floor's atmosphere was strange.
Skylar walked into his office and saw the three women inside.
"Coralie, why didn't you tell me that you were coming?"
