You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 83

Coralie looked at the notes that she had not finished reading. She had no choice but to call Skylar. However, the line was busy.

She thought of calling him again later, but in the blink of an eye, she forgot about it.

Skylar was chatting with his grandmother in the hospital. On the way there, he had received a call from Valerie. Grandmother Holland had taken a long nap today, so she was in high spirits that night.

Seeing that Coralie did not come with Skylar, Grandmother Holland asked, "Where is Coralie? I know you have a good relationship with Valerie, but Coralie is your wife. You have to set clear boundaries."

"I transferred her to Skyton Corporation. When I left work today, I passed by her office. She seemed to be reading the job manual. She was probably going to work overtime, so I didn't disturb her,"

Skylar explained.

Moreover, there were other people in the office at that time. Skylar promised Coralie that he would not expose their relationship in the office, so he did not go in and say hello to her.

"Well, it's rare to find a woman like Coralie. Usually, if a young lady marries into a family like ours, she won't be willing to go to work. But Coralie is hardworking."

Grandmother Holland kept nodding. She was secretly hinting about Lillian Ford. Even if she didn't say it out loud, Skylar understood what she meant.

"Well, she was like this when she was in college." Skylar thought of Coralie when she was in college. There was a twinkle in his eyes. He looked down at the time, and it was almost 12 o'clock. "Granny, you should rest early. I will come and visit you another day."

"Okay, be careful on your way back."

Grandmother Holland thought that Coralie was waiting for Skylar at home, so she did not ask him to stay.

When Skylar drove home, he entered the door and saw that Coralie's coat was not on the hanger there. He frowned slightly and asked, "Could she still be at work?"

He turned around and drove to the company.

Skylar reached the company and looked up. All the lights in the building were switched off, except for the 6th floor, which was the location of the finance department. Needless to say, Coralie was working overtime.

When Skylar arrived at the sixth floor, he saw Coralie holding the manuals and a dictionary. As she read these while referring to the software, he pulled a stool over and sat next to her. He took the manuals from Coralie's hand and said, "Come, let me have a look."

Coralie was looking at the manuals in a daze. Suddenly, someone took them away from her. She was shocked and looked up again. When she saw Skylar sitting next to her, she was even more shocked. "Why didn't you leave?"

"I left, and then I came back,"

Skylar said as he looked at the manuals.

"Give them back to me. There are still many things that I haven't finished reading."

"Let me read them first. It will be faster if I teach you after I finished reading the manuals."

When Coralie was about to grab these manuals, Skylar turned away so she couldn't get them.

Skylar held the manuals and read them for about half an hour or so. Then, he said, "Turn on the software and I'll teach you."

"You, you're done learning it?"

"It's not that you don't know how to do it. It's just that you are unfamiliar with the jargon. When you have checked out the meaning of these terms in the the later parts, you then forget the earlier parts."

"It's true."

After thinking about it, Coralie found that she had almost forgotten all the previous things. The notebook was filled with her handwritten descriptions.

"Come on, I'll show you how to operate these systems."

Skylar stood behind Coralie, holding the mouse in one hand and typing on the keyboard with the other hand. He wrapped his body around her with his chin resting against the top of her head.

Step by step, he could find everything he wanted. He told her all the important terms, wrote them on the post-it notes and put them on the table.

Coralie sat there and watched him. His slender fingers were dancing on the keyboard. His other hand was holding the mouse and he clicked on the screen from time to time. Surrounded by the faint scent of his cologne, her heart was beating fast.

At the same time, his simple and understandable explanation, coupled with the notes that he made, helped Coralie to feel that she was so lucky.
