You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 401

"Well, it's etiquette..."

Coralie felt a little itchy when she was teased by him.

"You smell good. Come on, let me have a closer scent," Skylar said as he pulled Coralie from her chair and ushered her to sit on the desk. "My love, can you continue with your work after I'm done with my business?"

"No! I won't have any time left after you are done with your business."

Coralie protested.

She knew what Skylar meant.

"Then you don't have to do it. Let me translate it for you this time and then you can do it yourself the next time."

Skylar was not aware of her assignment's deadline. He thought it was an urgent assignment thus he offered to help her.

"This is my responsibility," Coralie huffed.

"Be a good girl. You can do it at night. I don't think we have tried doing it in the study room before."

As Skylar spoke, his hands carried on with their movements.

The originally cold atmosphere in the study room had turned enchanting and lustful.

After Coralie and Skylar were done, it was almost 4 o'clock. Coralie knew that she did not have much time left to continue with her work, thus she took a bath, put on light makeup and a decent dress, and followed Skylar to meet his parents.

In fact, she was really nervous.

"Skylar, what if both your parents strongly oppose us?"

Coralie held Skylar's hand in the car, her palms sweating slightly.

If it was only Lilian who opposed her, Coralie could still deal with it, but what if Anthony opposed as well?

She still remembered what Anthony told her in the hospital many years ago.

"Poor people like you love to talk about feelings, but we are businessmen, and businessmen only look at benefits."

If his thoughts were still the same, Anthony would still hope that Skylar would marry a woman who would be helpful to their business.

Many women fulfilled his criteria, but she definitely did not.

"No, they won't. This time, I'm not asking for their approval. I am merely informing them."

Skylar placed his hand on Coralie's shoulder to comfort her.

Coralie did not speak anymore. At this point, it was useless to escape. She had to face the obstacle together with Skylar.

"Tell me, who is that woman? Is that Evelyn from last time?"

When Skylar and Coralie arrived at the restaurant, the waiter led them to their private dining room. However, before they could push the door open, they heard Lillian's screaming from the outside.

Skylar's hand, which was about to open the door, halted.

"She is my assistant. How many times do I need to tell you?"

It was Anthony's voice.

His tone was full of impatience for Lilian.

"Assistant? How many times have I told you to stop looking for a female secretary or assistant? But look at you, how many did you hire? It was Linda before and now Evelyn. Can't you find a male assistant? Your son also hired a male assistant!"

Lillian babbled furiously inside the room.

"Should we go in later?"

Coralie glanced at Skylar and asked for his opinion.

If they went in at that moment, both Anthony and Lillian would know that they had heard them quarreling. They would feel embarrassed.

"It's fine. Let's enter."

Skylar pushed the door open as he spoke.

Anthony initially wanted to say something, but when he saw Skylar walking in, he swallowed his words and put on a serious expression.

"Morn, Dad."

Skylar greeted them and dragged Coralie in.

"Uncle, Auntie."
