You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) -
Chapter 329
Upon hearing Skylar's words, the audience burst into an uproar. At the same time, applause and cheers were heard all around in the hall.
"President Holland, congratulations!"
"Mrs. Holland!"
"Mr. Holland is already married. I don't want to live anymore!"
Under the stage, different voices could be heard.
However, Coralie could understand that as well. As one of the famous, top five elite bachelors in A City, Skylar naturally had a lot of fans. Now that people knew he had a wife, there must be some who couldn't accept it.
Lenora, the host, picked up the microphone and tried to soothe the atmosphere. "President Holland, the Skyton Corporation's female employees have all just gone through a heartbreak. Please don't cry, everyone. It's my treat tonight. I'll treat all of you to another feast tonight!"
Lenora's words were quite honorable!
The audience erupted in cheers.
"Lenora, you do understand us!"
"I'll go, I'll go! I'll be the first one to sign up."
The female employees who had been complaining just now seemed to have completely forgotten that they were 'heartbroken' and were eager to go to Lenora's dinner party.
Lenora asked Skylar with a miserable face, "President Holland, will you compensate me for that?"
"Of course!" Skylar took out a cheque from his pocket and wrote down a handsome amount of 200,000 dollars. "This is for the second round tonight, is it enough?"
"One, two, three, four..." Lenora took the check and counted the zeros carefully. Then she nodded hard and said, "It's enough! Come on everyone! It's President Holland's treat today!" The atmosphere below the stage was stirred again.
Coralie looked at Lenora in awe. Lenora could just adjust the atmosphere and her ability to resolve awkward situations was really awesome!
"Then let's continue on to the next programme!"
Lenora said as she picked up the list of programmes.
The programmes then continued, Skylar and Coralie both sat down at a table which was reserved for them in advance.
There were already two people sitting at the table, which were Dominic and Jayson.
"Hello, President Holland."
Coralie pushed Skylar over. Dominic and Jayson then greeted Skylar.
"President Holland, I've discussed with Director West that after the New Year's holidays, we'll inform Hazel to come over. After all, there are still some jobs that need to be handed over." Seeing him coming over, Jayson reported to him about work first.
"Sure."
Skylar nodded.
Coralie did not know what they were talking about. She only thought that it was none of her business.
She sat aside and had nothing to do. At the same time, a message popped up on her cell phone. It was a message from Felicia York.
"Coralie, come here! On your right!"
Coralie looked up and she saw Felicia waving her hand to greet her.
Speaking of which, the reason why Coralie met Skylar was mostly because of Felicia.
"Skylar, I'm going to sit at the table over there."
Coralie told Skylar about it first.
Skylar raised his head and saw Felicia waving from not far away. He then nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Coralie sat at Felicia's table and saw that there was another familiar face sitting on the table...
"Rainie? Why are you here?"
"Coralie! Is that really you? I couldn't believe my eyes when President Holland announced it. It turns out that you're really with..."
Rainie was a colleague from Coralie's former unit. Of course, she also knew about the drama that happened between Coralie, Corrine Quincy and Skylar.
"Do you both know each other?"
Felicia was a little surprised to see Rainie talking to Coralie.
"Yes, we met each other when we both were in Lavita Paper." Rainie rested her cheek on her hand as she sighed. "Alas, I didn't expect that the president's wife would be just by my side back then! Different people have different fates. Why are there none of the rich second generations who take a fancy in me?!"
"Most of the rich second generations are playboys. Maybe there is only one person in the world who is like President Holland, who is handsome, gentle and rich. Alas!"
As Felicia spoke, she also began to sigh as she rested her chin on her hand.
The two of them were sitting with the same posture.
"You both." Coralie looked at Felicia and Rainie who were being like that as she teased, "We've not seen each other in five years. Don't tell me that you both are still single." "I had a boyfriend, we broke up."
"I had two boyfriends and we broke up."
They said the same thing in the same way. Felicia then pulled Rainie to her side and said, "Why don't we spend the rest of our lives together?"
"That seems like a great idea!"
Rainie echoed along.
"Two beautiful ladies are going to spend the rest of their lives together. You both are making thousands of bachelors in the country lose two of their great opportunities."
Coralie chastised them.
In fact, things weren't going well for her these days. She was usually just around the Holland family and her own family. Today, she finally got to chat with Felicia and Rainie, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.
As she spoke, she picked up a glass and took a sip of water.
When she was drinking from the glass, she happened to see a man on the table not far away. It was Harrison Davis. When she attended Skyton Corporation's annual meeting back then, she saw Harrison and Alison in the baby room...
Thinking of Alison, Coralie suddenly thought of the phone number that Howard sent that message with.
"Alison, are they both still together?"
Coralie felt a sense of foreboding. She then turned to Felicia and asked, "Felicia, do you remember the woman who was with Harrison back then?"
"Ah? Of course, I do remember! Not long ago, Harrison was caught having an affair, and his good-man's image was totally gone. His wife even came to the company and made a scene."
Hearing Coralie mention about it, Felicia immediately remembered that incident.
"Was it still the same person from last time?"
"That's right. I almost forgot about it at first, but Harrison's wife was really great. She hired a private detective to send everyone in the company the photos of Harrison and that woman, along with the personal information of the mistress."
Felicia said as she recalled.
As she spoke, Rainie echoed along, "Yes, the whole company knew about it. President Holland personally ordered that the employees were not allowed to continue spreading the news and it was only then did people stop talking. That woman seems to be called... something..."
"Alison Herman!"
"That's right, that's her name. Haha, I don't think that woman is as pretty as Harrison's ex-wife. Her makeup is so thick, just like a girl who works in the nightclub."
Felicia and Rainie couldn't pipe down as they started gossiping.
Coralie listened from the side. Harrison and Alison were together, but Howard sent her the message with Alison's phone number, which indicated that she and Howard were together as well...
"Did you both know that I was coming today?"
Coralie turned to ask Felicia and Rainie.
She was feeling a little disoriented at the moment. She was worried that the surprise mentioned in Howard's message would happen today...
"Actually, there were some rumors around," Felicia said, "I don't know who spread the rumors in the company that President Holland was going to announce that he was married, just as a reminder, so that his fans in the company would be mentally prepared."
"Yes, yes, I am one of his fans."
Rainie nodded.
Coralie didn't dare to think about what would happen if Howard made a scene here... She didn't have time to explain it to Felicia and Rainie. When she was about to get up and go to Skylar... The door of the hall was opened.
