You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 93

Coralie took out her cell phone. She wanted to use the navigation system, but the signal was becoming worse as she went further. In the end, it was difficult for her to even get a connection for the navigation system.

She looked at the road down the hill and she wanted to turn back, but when she looked forward, it seemed that she would be there soon.

According to Joanna, this village was called Village Y, and the ex-employee who owed the company money was called Connor Taylor. In fact, Coralie thought that this village might be Connor's hometown, but he might not be at home as he was working outstation.

However, now that she was here, she had to go and have a look.

Coralie walked all the way up the mountain and she finally saw a place that looked like a village. She saw that there were no numbers or addresses on the houses, so she had to ask someone from one of the houses first.

An elderly woman opened the door.

Coralie asked, "Auntie, may I ask where is house number 31, Connor Taylor's house?"

"Sorry?"

It seemed that the woman's hearing was not very good. After Coralie asked her this, she didn't seem to hear her clearly. Coralie had no choice but to show the paper that Joanna had given her. She looked at it and waved her hand. "No, no."

After that, she slammed the door and shut Coralie out.

Coralie didn't understand what the woman meant. Didn't she know this person?

Helplessly, she found another house next to her. This time, it was a middle-aged man who opened the door.

"Uncle, may I ask where is Connor's house? House number 31?"

Coralie asked.

"Connor..." The middle-aged man didn't seem to want to say anything at first, but he looked Coralie. A woman had come to such a remote place on her own. He looked behind her. It seemed that there was no one else, so he said, "That guy has moved away a long time ago. He owed people a lot of money, and the creditors came to look for him every day. He moved away because he had no other choice." "He moved away..." Coralie frowned. "Do you know where he moved to?"

"How would I know?"

"Thank you."

Coralie took a few steps back. She was helpless. It seemed that she was destined to return empty handed today.

The middle-aged man stood behind Coralie and looked at her. Although she was wearing a coat, she wore only thin socks and she didn't put on proper winter boots. He reminded her in a kind manner from behind, "Young lady, look at the weather. It's going to snow heavily. You should go down the mountain quickly. You might not be able to go down later."

Coralie looked up at the sky. Like how he said, the sky was getting darker and the weather seemed to be getting worse.

"Thank you. I'm going down the mountain right now."

She thanked him and walked down the mountain.

Not only was this place old and remote, the phone signal was really bad. Coralie took a look at her cell phone, and there was no signal at all.

She gave up the idea of calling Skylar, so she had to put the cell phone back into her bag and rushed to the bus station.

At the bus stop, it was written that the last bus would be at 5.30 p.m. It was 4 o'clock. If she walked faster, she should be able to catch the last bus.

Coralie jogged slowly toward the bus stop. In the snow, her feet were already frozen because of her thin shoes. She hurried to the bus station. She thought of getting a ride home and taking a hot bath immediately.

However, when she finally arrived at the bus station and took a look at the road, there were no buses or even cars. This was indeed a remote place.

Coralie kept walking around the bus stop and stomping her feet to keep herself warm. After waiting for another hour, she still didn't see any bus. Then, she realized that it might be snowing heavily, and perhaps the last bus was canceled.

At this time, at Skyton Corporation, it was already after half past six. Skylar called Coralie's cell phone and he wanted to ask when she would leave, but no matter how many times he called her, she was not in the service area.

He had no choice but to go to the finance department on the sixth floor to have a look.

Skyton Corporation's official working hours ended at 5:30 p.m. At this time, all the employees that were still in the office were working overtime.

When Skylar went downstairs, Felicia York was the only person in the whole finance department who hadn't left yet.

Felicia was busy with work when someone came in. She raised her head and saw Skylar coming in. He was dressed in a black suit and his figure was slender and straight. His hair was styled, which made him look a little fierce.

Skylar was looking directly at Coralie's seat. Felicia quickly stood up and asked, "President Holland, are you looking for Coralie?"

Hearing this question, Skylar noticed that there was someone working overtime there. Skylar asked, "How did you know that I came to replace her?"

Hearing this, Felicia hesitated for a moment, but she didn't say what Joanna had mentioned in the office before. Instead, she said, "Coralie and I have a good relationship. I overheard her mentioning about you."

"Really?" Skylar lowered his eyes and asked, "Where is she?"

"Coralie... There was a loan that was not returned by a former employee. She went to ask for the money," Felicia said cautiously.

As the loan involved a lot of money, Skylar probably knew about this.

Hearing this, Skylar frowned and his face turned pale. "Where did she go to ask for the money?"

At that time, the financial department had thought of many ways to get the money back, but they all failed in the end. Now, Coralie was sent to settle this matter on her own? Wasn't it making things difficult for her?

"She went to Village Y..."

Felicia whispered, because she had already felt that Skylar was angry when he heard that Coralie had gone to ask for the money. His fury was obvious.

Skylar glanced out of the window. It was dark and the snow had begun to fall. Village Y was in the suburbs of A City. On the mountains, it was very cold and the traffic was not convenient.

Coralie had gone to that kind of place alone, and it was very likely that she would be trapped in this kind of weather.

Thinking of this, Skylar thanked Felicia, turned around and went out of the finance department.

Felicia stood there. She thought that Skylar's expression was so serious and anxious when he found out that Coralie had gone to Village Y. She also realized that Joanna was telling the truth, in regards to the connection between Coralie and Skylar.

From her point of view, they seemed like a couple, instead of just lovers, like how Joanna mentioned.

After Skylar arrived at the underground parking lot, he saw that Dominic West's SUV was parked beside his car. He immediately dialed Dominic's number. "Dom, lend me your car. I'll wait for you at the parking lot."

After that, he hung up the phone without saying anything.

When Dominic brought the key down, he asked casually, "What's wrong? You seem to be in a hurry."

Skylar opened the car door and said, "Go back and ask the personnel of your finance department. Who asked my people to ask Connor for the loan?"

After that, he got in the car and drove out of the parking lot.

Dominic stood there and thought about Skylar's words just now. He had a curious expression. "His people? Did he finally get a girlfriend?"
