You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 6

"Is... President Holland around then?"

At this time, Coralie was not in the mood to argue with the receptionist at all.

"Yes, he's in a meeting."

"Got it. Thank you."

Coralie didn't give up. If Skylar was around and she couldn't get in, then she would wait for him to come out.

Skylar Holland was her last resort.

When Coralie arrived at the company, it was half past nine in the morning.

She stood outside of the building and waited. Just like that, 10 hours had passed. When she had come back to her senses, it was already dark outside.

A bolt of lightning struck through the sky.

Thunder came one after another.

Coralie's back was leaned against the outer wall of the building. Her palm was tightly pressed against the undulating wall, and her forehead was covered with sweat.

The thunder was one of the things that she was most terrified of.

Coralie glanced at her mobile phone. It was already past nine o'clock at night. She was worried that her mother and brother might need someone to take care of them once they had woken up.

It then started to rain heavily. There was no shelter outside the building. She continued to stand there, and in less than a minute, she was completely drenched.

She was not sure whether Skylar had left or not, but the only thing she could do was to stand here and wait for him.

Because her mother and brother needed the money to save their lives.

After more than an hour, the rain became even heavier. Water had piled up on both sides of the street which had reached the level of Coralie's ankle and the water was beating against her calf.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. It looked like the rain would last for a long time.

"......"

In the president's office on the top floor of Holland Group, Jayson Lowell was looking at Skylar Holland, who was still working at his desk, and kindly reminded him, "President Holland, the rain outside is getting heavier, there will probably be a flood soon."

Skylar raised his eyebrows and unlocked his mobile phone. There was nothing on the screen, 0 missed calls and 0 text messages, which made him feel inexplicably annoyed.

He sat for a little while longer and didn't get up until it was 11:50 p.m. and said angrily, "Let's go home."

Jayson followed him and did not dare to say anything. Today, President Holland seemed to be in a bad mood, and he was surrounded by a cold aura that made people stay away from him.

Skylar's car had been waiting in the underground garage for a long time.

He took the elevator directly to the basement and left in his car.

As soon as the car drove out of the basement, the driver reported, "President Holland, the road ahead is flooded. We may need to take a detour."

"Just do it."

The rain outside was very heavy. The swooshing sound of the heavy rain could be heard through the window.

The car went from the back of the company and to the entrance. The drainage system at the main entrance was relatively better, so the flood wasn't as bad. The car gradually picked up its speed.

Skylar's charming eyes were looking aimlessly through the window. He seemed like he was looking at the rain but at the same time he looked like he was looking for something else.

Suddenly, his dark and deep eyes saw a petite and trembling figure standing in the rain.

Her white dress was particularly obvious amidst this dark and rainy night.

"Stop the car!"

The driver and Jayson were both shocked, and the car was quickly stopped at the side of the road.

Before the car could completely stopped, Skylar had already got off the car with an umbrella in his hand.

Coralie squatted on the side of the road looking like a mess, as she watched a man in pair of black leather shoes appear in her sight. He approached her slowly.

She struggled to stand up, and her eyes which were full of rain, could barely see the outline of Skylar's face.

"I agree. I agree to marry you. I agree with whatever you want me to do!"

Coralie grabbed the man's arm with her fingers. Although she was so thin, she grabbed onto him firmly. With those clear eyes, Coralie looked at him as if he was her only hope.

After a long pause, the man finally opened his mouth and said, "Sure, it's you who said that you will agree to whatever I ask you to do."

"Yes, that's what I said. I'm willing to do anything, as long as you keep your promise."

"That's what you said. Don't regret it!"
