You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 4

When he heard Coralie mentioned that she had just been abandoned, his handsome face turned cold as if it was covered with a layer of frost. He raised his hand and lifted the woman's chin with his long and slender fingers. He forced her to look at him and said coldly, "Didn't you always have a bad taste?"

The handsome man's alluring eyes were fixed on the woman before him. His well-chiselled facial features were divine.-

Coralie was stunned. She hadn't seen him for five years and Skylar looked even more matured and charismatic compared to five years ago.

She also knew that he was referring to what had happened five years ago.

Five years ago, after Skylar's mother had insulted her parents, Coralie chose to disappear from his world and blocked all connections with him.

"Yes, my taste has always been poor." Coralie stubbornly raised her head, her clear almond-shaped eyes met the man's dark-colored eyes, and said stubbornly, "So, President Holland, please let go of this person with bad taste!"

Listening to what the woman had said, Skylar's heart skipped a beat. He pinched Coralie's chin with his long fingers. "I'll pay you 5 million dollars to be married to me for a year. When my grandmother's health gets better, we'll get a divorce."

"I don't agree!"

She had been disappointed in her marriage. She also didn't want the words of Skylar's mother to come true, and she didn't want to create an opportunity for the Holland family to humiliate her family!

Skylar didn't force her to agree to it either. He knew her very well. Coralie was a woman who was much stronger than her appearance so it would be difficult for him to change this woman's mind in an instant, unless Coralie figured it out herself.

He took out a black business card and handed it over to Coralie. "My offer would be valid for a month. Today is August 6th. Before September 5th, this offer will remain effective."

Looking at the man's figure as he walked away, Coralie clenched the business card in her hand tightly. When the man got in the car, she turned around and threw the simple yet luxurious black business card into the trash can.

They were like two parallel lines. No matter how close they were to each other, they would never come across each other.

In the afternoon, Coralie rented a house. Because her income was low and she didn't have much savings, she could only rent a 30 square meters room at the moment. It was a 20-year old house which was located in an old residential area.

Her unit was on the fifth floor. Fortunately, the landlord was an old lady. Although the room was old, it was quite clean.

Although Coralie attended a good college, she only had been doing simple administration work in a small company all these years. After she had rented a house, she had sent out multiple job applications. However, whenever the Human Resource Manager asked about her work experience, all of them would reject her application.

A lot of time had passed. Everyday, she was either working or going for job interviews. Her life was not much better than before, but at least it wasn't as bad.

It was now September 4th, it was her brother's birthday.

Coralie had bought him a pair of sneakers which was on sale as a birthday gift with her savings.

"Sister, you're back."

As soon as Coralie entered the house, her younger brother, Wayne Chariott took over the things that she were carrying in her hands and took out her slippers from the shoe cabinet.

"Yes."

Looking at her brother's behavior, Coralie's heart felt warm.

Five years ago, their father had passed away in a car accident. Her younger brother had been living with his mother, so he was very sensible.

"How was college? Was it tiring?"

Coralie put on her shoes and asked with a concerned voice.

Wayne had always been excellent in his studies since he was a child. No one had to worry about him. This year, he aced the college entrance examination with the score of more than 600 points and got into the best college in the entire city.

Today was the third day of school.

"I'm not tired at all. College is much more fun and interesting than high school."

Wayne served a glass of water for Coralie.

Coralie took out the sneakers that she bought out from the box and handed them to Wayne. "Try it on. See if the size is alright?"

"This is for me?"

"Yeah, see if you like it or not."

"I like it! As long as it's from you, I like it!"

Looking at Wayne's happy face with the pair of sneakers in his hands, Coralie felt a little down inside. It was because the brand that she bought was very ordinary and it had only cost her very little after the discount. Young people like her brother must prefer famous brands like Adidas and Nike.

But she just couldn't afford them.

"Don't worry, when I make money in the future, I'll buy you better ones."

"There's no need for that, Sister, I am a man. I should be in charge of making a lot of money to buy you pretty clothes and let you live a good life."

While the siblings were chatting, Coralie's mother, Hera Jean, brought out some delicious food from the kitchen.

"Coralie, come eat."
