You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 102

"Mr. Davis, not every man is as good as you."

A colleague continued the conversation.

Coralie didn't want to talk to Harrison at all, especially when he had just scratched her palm. It was an obvious sexual hint! Coupled with Alison's matter, Coralie felt disgusted by this so-called good man in the eyes of the other colleagues.

"Coralie, where did you go for your honeymoon? Even if you haven't been to the Maldives, you did go somewhere else, didn't you?"

Harrison thought that the Maldives was a very wonderful destination, so he repeated it over and over again.

As a veteran in love affairs, he definitely knew how to mislead women.

As long as he spoke about this destination, ordinary women would think that he would take them there.

"I haven't been there."

Coralie did not raise her head while speaking, but she looked toward the stage.

Now, the host, Lenora, was already testing the mike, and the banquet would probably begin soon.

"You seem to care for someone else's wife very much, don't you?"

Skylar said this from the side. Although he really wanted to say that he was Coralie's husband, he didn't want to do so since he had made this promise to Coralie.

However, Harrison's constant provocations were testing his limits.

Hearing his boss's words, Harrison chuckled and said, "I'm just concerned about my new colleague."

As he spoke, his eyes were still staring straight at Coralie's collar. Although the dress she chose was old-fashioned, the collar was wide. A woman with a flat chest couldn't wear it well, but Coralie had an ample bosom and her cleavage was alluring.

"There are so many colleagues around, and you'd better care for all of them to avoid any misunderstandings."

When Skylar spoke, he put his arm on the back of Coralie's chair. From a certain point of view, it seemed like he was holding Coralie's waist.

The colleagues around heard Skylar's tone of displeasure, and no one dared to continue speaking.

Soon, the party began, and each department had prepared a performance item.

Snacks and fruits were served. Everyone could watch the performance while eating and they could also chat with each other. It was a good time for colleagues to bond with each other.

Coralie was sitting next to Skylar. His arm was on her chair, and he didn't intend to leave at all. He seemed frosty and unapproachable.

No one dared to approach him.

However, Coralie was sitting here, and she didn't know whether she should talk to Skylar or not. She didn't know what to say, but it seemed that the atmosphere on the whole table was down to a freezing point if she didn't say anything.

She had no choice but to pick up an apple and put it in front of Skylar. She asked, "President Holland, would you like to have an apple?"

She was thinking to give him the apple if Skylar wanted it. If he didn't want to eat it, she would eat it herself. No one would be embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Skylar looked at the apple in Coralie's hand and nodded. Then, he said, "Yes, I do, if you'll peel it for me."

After he said this, Coralie couldn't help feeling annoyed.

Peel the apple?

"President Holland, there's no knife here. I can't peel it,"

Coralie said with an obsequious smile.

"That's your own business."

Skylar didn't take this seriously.

Coralie held the apple and looked at Skylar. She turned her face and said, "Do whatever you want then, hmph!"

Where could she replace a small knife to peel an apple in this venue? If she came in with a knife now, she would probably be taken away by the security guard?

The colleagues around looked at them quietly. Why did they feel that they were not familiar with each other, but they seemed to know each other at the same time?

"Coralie, it's okay. I don't need to peel the apple when I eat it. Give it to me."

On the opposite side, Harrison had his eyes fixed on Coralie today. He felt that Coralie had worn such an exposed dress because it was meant for men to see this. She was definitely not a good woman. Maybe she would fall into the trap as soon as he seduced her.

Coralie ignored him and took the apple. She took a bite of the apple.

At this time, four performances were over. However, when the fifth performance was about to begin, Lenora fell down the stairs when she was walking off the stage after announcing the next act.

"Lenora!"

"Goddess Fisher!"

Coralie and Felicia were the first to stand up because their table was in the second row. When Lenora fell down, she fell in front of them.

The two of them helped Lenora up and asked, "Lenora, are you okay?"

Lenora rubbed her ankle. She was wearing silk stockings, and Coralie could not see if her ankle was swollen. But looking at her painful expression, she knew that she must have sprained it. "Why don't you take a break?"

Felicia suggested.

Lenora had thought that it was just a minor sprain. She wanted to get up and prove that she was fine, but she didn't expect it to be so painful.

"Ouch..." With a bitter cry, Lenora did not stand up.

Coralie knew the pain of an ankle sprain.

She was by Lenora's side, holding her. "Lenora, don't force it. Otherwise, it may become worse."

"Alas!" When Lenora confirmed that she couldn't stand up, she sighed deeply. "I could take a rest... But the annual banquet..."

The company's banquet was a yearly event. It didn't matter if there were less performances, but it needed a host.

"You do it."

Skylar, who was standing at the side, pulled Coralie and suggested this.

In college, Coralie had been the hostess of the student council programs.

"No, I can't. I'm an amateur. I can't be compared with professional hosts."

Coralie quickly shook her head and refused. Those college-level parties were not comparable to Skyton Corporation's annual banquet.

At this time, the performance on stage was already half completed.

"The performance is about to end. What if we don't have a host?"

Felicia reminded her of this fact.

All the colleagues were watching at the side, and no one volunteered to be the host.

Lenora looked at Coralie from head to toe. Her clothes seemed a little outdated, but her appearance was good. Besides, she had just seen her at the boutique. To be honest, she had a good impression of her. She should be able to handle being a temporary hostess.

"Go ahead. You can do it, just follow the script." Lenora took out a piece of paper from the small pocket of her suit. The arrangements of the performances were written on it.

Regarding the speech for the intermission, if Coralie couldn't remember the words, she could just read from the paper accordingly.

At this time, the previous performance was over. Coralie saw that she had no time to hesitate. She had no choice but to take the paper note and read it quickly. She remembered the name of the next performance and went to the stage nervously.

Looking at her colleagues under the stage, Coralie felt her heart pounding wildly.

After calming down, she said, "Hello, everyone. I'm a new member of Skyton Corporation. Our host, Lenora, slipped and injured herself earlier. I'm here to replace her for the time being." Coralie's first explanation was on this matter.
