You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 328

Coralie and Skylar both stayed in the dressing room for over an hour.

As they hadn't seen each other in a long time, although the time they had was short, they were

reluctant to stop.

When they were done, Coralie stood in front of the mirror. Her lipstick was all over her face.

"I'm afraid I'll have to redo my makeup."

Coralie looked at the time. Skylar mentioned that they would have to reach at 7 o' clock, but it was

already past 7.

"It's okay. It's fine to be a little late."

Skylar didn't really mind. As the CEO, of course, he had the privilege to be late.

The makeup artist didn't dare to go in until Skylar opened the door and went out.

By this time, Coralie had already wiped the lipstick on her face off with a piece of cotton.

"Don't wipe it, don't wipe it. Let's redo the make up."

The makeup artist looked at the uneven foundation stains on Coralie's face. Instead of trying to fix it,

she might as well start over again.

"I'm sorry for troubling you."

Coralie was very embarrassed. In fact, she didn't have to hide it now. Anyone could see what had

happened in the dressing room just now.

"It's okay, it's not a problem for me. Feelings are just hard to control." The make-up artist teased

Coralie while pressing her down onto the seat. She then began to remove her makeup bit by bit with

the makeup remover.

Because her hairstyle was already done, it was a little difficult to remove the makeup.

While her makeup was being redone, a pleasant ringtone rang. It was Coralie's cell phone.

She lowered her head to get it, only to see that it was a strange number. The first thing she thought

was it being a promoter calling, so she just hung up.

However, soon her phone rang again and it was still the same number.

This time Coralie picked it up.

"Mrs. Holland, you've been living quite a good life recently, haven't you?"

As soon as Coralie answered the call, a man's hoarse voice came from the other end of the line. The Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

voice brought goosebumps all over her body.

Her hand, which was holding the phone, shook slightly, but then she pretended to keep calm.

"Howard Schultz, did the police not catch you yet?"

Although Coralie forced herself to be calm, she still felt a little flustered when she heard Howard's

voice.

"Are you looking forward to me getting arrested?" Howard sneered on the other end of the phone. "It's

a pity that I was lucky enough. Never had I thought that I would live such a long life, but it's all thanks to

you."

"I've already said before, you deserved all this for all the things you've done."

After finishing her words, Coralie hung up the phone.

Then she blocked the phone number.

Initially, Coralie thought that this matter was all over.

However, when Coralie was about to go out to find Skylar after the makeup was done, her cell phone

rang again. She looked down and saw that it was another unknown number that sent her a text

message.

"Mrs. Holland, I want three million dollars. You'd better reply to me as soon as possible, or you'll get a

big surprise from me."

Coralie looked at the number that sent her the message. Although it was strange, the last four digits

looked a little familiar...

She didn't know whose number it was at first.

"Can we leave now?"

Skylar waited outside and saw Coralie coming out holding her dress; her other hand was grabbing her

phone.

The makeup artist was walking beside her, holding a light-colored coat in her hand. It seemed that she

wanted to let Coralie put it on before she went outside.

"Hmm..."

Coralie nodded, but she felt upset.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Coralie followed Skylar all the way towards the car. She had been wondering in her heart if she should

tell Skylar about the matter regarding Howard.

Skylar was about to go overseas for his operation. If she told him about it, it might be a burden for him.

After thinking for so long, she still didn't tell him about it when they reached the hotel entrance of the

Skyton Corporation's annual dinner.

The meeting venue of Skyton Corporation's meeting was the same as that of five years ago.

Coralie pushed Skylar into the elevator. As soon as they got in, Skylar asked her, "How do you feel

coming back here again after so many years?"

"Not that great."

"Why?"

Skylar had thought that Coralie would say something like 'feeling happy', but the woman actually said

that she wasn't feeling great, which made him wonder if he should have brought her there.

But Coralie then said with a smile, "Thinking that the last time I came here was five years ago, it makes

me feel like I'm getting old."

"How are you old?"

"Of course I'm already old. This dress, it's too tight for me now, which means that I'm not only old, but

also plumper, but..." Coralie suddenly said, "Fortunately, it's still you who's with me."

After being separated a few times, they were still together now.

"Yes, we will always be together. After the operation, I will bring you to travel around the world." Skylar

gently patted Coralie on her hand which was holding the wheelchair. "I want to bring you to a lot of

places. I remember that I promised to take you to Maldives in the last annual meeting. I will definitely

keep my promise."

"We don't have to rush. It's old people's business to travel everywhere. We are still young, so we

should work hard to make money."

Coralie knew Skylar's thoughts, but it wasn't good for his injury if he rushed like this. She could only

comfort him in this way.

When Skylar was about to arrive at the venue, he called Jayson and told him that no one would be

allowed to take photos and to shut down all the cameras inside.

This was because Skylar was representing Skyton Corporation's image, and he was the backbone of

the company. If the outside world knew that he had a leg injury, the stock price of the company would

definitely fluctuate, and the shareholders might question him, which would be even more troublesome

then.

They were waiting for Coralie to push Skylar and enter the hall.

Although the venue of the annual meeting did not change, it was obvious that the number of people

who attended had increased a lot compared to five years ago.

Coralie pushed Skylar to the centre of the red carpet. Most of the people around them were all

unfamiliar faces. She could feel the different gazes and hear the whispers of the people around her.

"Who is this woman?"

"What happened to President Holland? Why is he sitting in a wheelchair?"

"What's going on? Why are the cameras all shut?"

Everyone was saying all kinds of things.

But most of them were curious about Coralie's identity.

When Coralie pushed Skylar to the end of the hall, Lenora, who was in charge of the meeting this year

said, "Let's all welcome President Holland."

Below the stage, Skyton Corporation's employees all burst into applause and shouted, "President

Holland! President Holland, we love you!"

Although the voices were heard one after another, their words were all approximately the same. It was

obvious that they had planned it.

Coralie turned Skylar's wheelchair over, and then a staff member passed the microphone to Skylar.

Skylar took the microphone and started his speech with a few memories from before and the prospect

of the new year. This could also be considered an annual meeting's opening speech.

After that, Skylar said, "Everyone, as you can see, I'm injured this year. I didn't plan to come at first but

I'm here today because I have something very important to announce."

Skylar pulled Coralie from behind him to his side and announced to everyone, "Today, I'm going to

introduce her officially to everyone. This woman beside me is my wife, Coralie Chariott."
