As it was Skylar's office, Coralie did not sleep very well. At six o'clock, she woke up and got up quietly to wash up.
Coralie stood in front of the mirror. She looked at her straight black hair, thinking of the curly hair under the pillow yesterday. She tried to comfort herself. Perhaps Valerie Rae had just taken a break here.
She took a bath, tied her hair up, and used some of Skylar's facial wash.
When she walked out of the bathroom, Skylar had already woken up. "There is breakfast in the restaurant on the second floor."
"Okay," Coralie responded. She didn't want to say anything at first, but she still said, "I'll go down first."
Then, she fled.
Staying in that room, Coralie couldn't help but feel suspicious, but she didn't even dare to question him.
After all, even if she asked him about this, it wouldn't solve anything.
There were two elevators by the stairs. She saw that the elevator that they got on yesterday was already at the top floor, so she pressed the button.
When the elevator door opened, Coralie walked in.
At this moment, the door of the elevator beside her also opened, and Skylar's secretary came out. She saw that someone was using the elevator next to her, so she took a look before the door closed. She saw a woman standing inside.
Although it was only a quick glance, she could see clearly that Coralie was not wearing any makeup, and perhaps Coralie didn't apply any lipstick. Her hair seemed to be a little messy, and a little wet, as if she had just taken a shower.
Coralie did not know that many colleagues were walking up the stairs when she took the elevator to the restaurant on the second floor. When they saw Coralie coming out of the elevator, their expressions were completely baffled.
As for this, Coralie did not find anything unusual at that time, but she went to the restaurant naturally.
After breakfast, she entered the office.
The woman sitting at the door said loudly, "It's different to have someone's support."
Coralie glanced at the woman. She heard Felicia's introduction yesterday. This woman was called Joanna Thomas. She was an experienced employee in the finance department. No one dared to provoke her.
Coralie didn't know who Joanna was talking about, so she ignored her and walked to her desk.
Joanna noticed that Coralie did not respond to her, so she picked up a cup of coffee, a stack of receipts, and walked to Coralie's desk. She threw the stack of receipts on her table and said in a strange tone, "Check all of these and finish the accounts today."
"Okay."
Since it was her first day at work yesterday, no one had arranged for her to do anything yet, so she had time to familiarize herself with the software. However, today was the second day. It was time for her to work like everyone else.
She looked carefully at the pile of receipts that Joanna had put on the table. Although they were divided according to departments and there were corresponding details, they were not verified of their authenticity.
Just as Coralie was checking the receipts carefully, the coffee cup in Joanna's hand fell all of a sudden. It bounced onto Coralie's arm and fell on the table. Although there was not much coffee left in the cup, it spilled out.
"It hurts!"
The mug was heavy. The moment it fell onto her arm, Coralie felt that it was going to break her bones. She couldn't help crying out.
Before she could look at her injury, she saw that the coffee had already spilled onto some of the receipts. She picked up the receipts quickly and wiped them clean.
Joanna was watching her as she did this. She looked at Coralie with a gloating expression. "Oh, I'm sorry. I lost my grip."
Then, she left with the mug.
Everyone around her was watching this scene, but they didn't dare to say a word.
Coralie endured the pain in her arms and ignored her. She wiped the table quickly and then began to check the receipts.
