You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 99

Skyton Corporation was a big company with a large number of employees. Coralie Chariott thought that there would be many people, and no one would notice her at all. Then, she could hide in the corner and

eat.

Therefore, she just planned to wear an ordinary dress for the annual banquet.

In the morning, Coralie had a good sleep. She wandered around at home and studied the foreign language she was trying to master. She intended to go directly to the venue in the afternoon.

Lorraine's words had triggered her the last time, so she wanted to adopt the learning attitude she had in the past.

At this time, Felicia called. "Coralie, what are you wearing this evening?"

"I'll wear something simple. Since I'm not performing, why do I need to dress up so nicely?"

Coralie said while reading.

"How can you do that? Everyone will wear gowns. How can you wear a simple dress?"

"I'm planning to eat at a corner. I don't want to stand out."

In fact, she was joking, but as a newbie, it was one of her principles to keep a low profile.

"Everyone else is wearing gowns, and they are dressed beautifully. You will stand out if you wear a simple dress!" Felicia said and she quickly added, "Come to the gate. I'll take you to a shop where you can rent a gown. They will take care of your makeup as well. Everyone's dresses are basically rented there."

If Felicia didn't say this, Coralie was determined to have a rest at home for the whole morning today. But after she said that, Coralie thought that she was being reasonable.

After hesitating for a while, she agreed. "Okay, I'll go out now."

Felicia took Coralie to a boutique next to the company. This boutique was considered large.

They went to the shop quite early, but the shop was already crowded with people.

"Hello, may I ask if you are from Skyton Corporation? Are you here to choose a gown?"

On that day, it was likely that Skyton Corporation was the only company having their annual banquet. The shop assistant automatically assumed that anyone who came in was from Skyton Corporation. "Yes, yes!"

Felicia quickly said.

However, when the assistant took them to the cabinet with the gowns that were not rented out yet, both of them were dumbfounded.

The remaining gowns were dark, and the style of the gowns was also quite old-fashioned.

"This... this doesn't look good."

Felicia seemed bitter. These gowns were definitely outdated. They were not only ugly, but also old.

"Your colleagues have already chosen most of the nice gowns."

According to the assistant, since Felicia and Coralie had only arrived now, it was good enough that there were still some choices left.

Coralie wasn't too bothered by this. She could wear any of these gowns. However, seeing the disappointed look on Felicia's face, she still asked the shop assistant, "Is there any other similar shops around?" "The other shop is far away, but Skyton Corporation has a large number of employees, so the quality of the remaining dresses should be almost the same,"

The assistant explained.

While they were in this predicament, another assistant came over with a beautiful pink gown and said, "This was returned just now. The person did not want to rent this."

Seeing this gown, Felicia's eyes lit up. Originally, this pink gown was not particularly brilliant, but after seeing the dark-colored gowns in front of her, this pink one was simply a breath of fresh air. "I, I want this..."

Felicia really wanted to hold this gown in her hand, but she still looked at Coralie in embarrassment.

She conveyed her thoughts in a polite manner.

"Well, you can take this. I will choose a black one." Coralie knew that Felicia had found a suitable dress for herself, so she made up her mind. Among the remaining dresses, she took out a short black one and handed it to the assistant. "In that case, I would like to choose this one."

Felicia took a look at the black dress Coralie had chosen. To be honest, it was really ordinary. It was not embellished at all. It had a puffy sleeve design, and its style did not show off her figure.

"Are you sure?" Felicia pinched the gown in her hand, feeling a little embarrassed. "Why don't we go to another store and have a look? Or, maybe you can wear this one?"

"There's no need for that." Coralie pushed the pink gown to Felicia. "I'm already in my mid-twenties, and I'll be laughed at if I still wear pink."

Felicia liked this gown, which was the reason why she didn't want this dress. More importantly, Coralie felt like pink did not suit her. She rarely wore pink.

"Really?"

"Yes, don't worry!"

Coralie assured her.

The two of them booked the gowns and tried them on. Coralie thought that the ordinary dress suited her.

However, when they were about to do their make up, they saw that there were many people waiting in line to do their make up.

"I suggest that the both of you go out for a stroll. Two or three hours later, you can come back, or you can leave your numbers with us. I'll call you when it's your turn,"

The assistant suggested.

Although there were not many people in the shop, most customers were sent away by the boutique assistant in this manner, giving people the illusion that there were not many people in the shop. In reality, there were many people queuing to have their makeup done.

After the two of them left their phone numbers, Felicia brought Coralie to the shopping mall next to them.

In the mall, as Felicia walked with Coralie and passed by a jewelry counter-

"Honey, I want this."

A familiar voice came into her ears.

Coralie looked back and saw a couple not far away, who looked like lovers, buying rings in front of the counter.

The red high-heels, wavy curly hair, and thick makeup was familiar.

Wasn't that Alison?

At this time, Howard had been sued by Skylar for breaking into his house previously, and he would be locked up for at least a few months.

Coralie looked at the man next to Alison. It wasn't someone she knew. The man looked mature, like he was in his thirties. He wore a suit and he put one hand in an intimate manner around Alison's waist, which confirmed their relationship.

"Coralie, do you know that person?"

Felicia noticed that Coralie kept looking at the couple not far away. She asked her this question.

"She..." Coralie didn't know how to explain, so she said casually, "She was my roommate in college."

Since she was her roommate, she was definitely talking about the woman. Felicia looked at the man and said, "I have seen that man before. He is one of the managers of the sales department in the company."

"That man?"

"Well, but I remember that his wife has short hair... Don't tell me that isn't his wife?"

Felicia was full of gossip.

Although Felicia was not sure, Coralie knew who Alison was and who her husband was.

When they stood there and watched them, Alison sensed that she was being observed. Instinctively, she turned around and noticed that Coralie and Felicia were standing not far away, as they looked at her. The expression on Alison's face instantly became unnatural.
