Chapter 36
Coralie Chariott wanted to work in the company while keeping a low profile. She didn't want to become a public figure as a result of her sitting next to Skylar Holland today. "I want you to sit next to me,"
The man lowered his voice and said.
"I don't want to sit by your side. I'm not Corrine Quincy. I don't want to attract any attention,"
Coralie told him exactly what was in her mind.
She could feel that the colleagues around her, especially the female colleagues, were looking at her strangely.
It seemed like the mistress had replaced the wife.
"Why? Does sitting next to me makes you feel ashamed?"
While Skylar was speaking, Coralie felt quite clearly that he had pressed her leg with his, in order to pin her down.
"Take it off."
"What if I don't?"
The two of them argued quietly. At first, Skylar had a serious expression. However, this time, there was a hint of playfulness on his face.
The tablecloth was very long and it reached the ground. Skylar and Coralie were seated in the innermost position, so others couldn't see what they were doing under the table.
At this time, Corrine, who had sorted out her hair, came out of the bathroom in a hurry. She discovered that Coralie was sitting in her seat. Also, the tableware in front of her had been replaced with new ones. Her beautiful eyes became dark, and she bit her lips hard.
Although she was unwilling, she had to sit at another table.
Many high-ranking leaders of Forest Paper Company were seated at Skylar's table. They were all busy sucking up to Skylar, and they didn't question Coralie who was seated here.
"Coralie, is it true that you have just started at our company not too long ago?"
It was the company manager who spoke.
"Yes, I have been here for less than a month,"
Coralie answered seriously.
She was answering the question, but she felt a hand caressing her leg slowly under the table.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm bored."
"Skylar, don't cross the line."
"This is just the beginning. Don't be anxious."
"Coralie, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"
One of the leaders seemed to notice that Coralie looked a little uncomfortable. Her face was red and her eyes were a little vacuous.
"I... I..." Coralie stammered.
"It was the alcohol. She did that because she's tipsy," Skylar said.
Coralie couldn't think of an excuse, so he helped her out.
In fact, everyone could see that Coralie had not drunk any of her wine. It was all poured onto Corrine's head.
"Skylar, are you happy seeing me make a fool of myself?"
Coralie questioned in a low voice, and she was furious. However, she couldn't defend herself against him.
"Beg me, then I'll let you go."
In the eyes of the other leaders, they thought that they were whispering sweet nothings to each other, and no one seemed to mind.
Coralie's body was tense. She had reached her limit. She grabbed Skylar's hand violently, and whispered, "Please, please let me go."
She could not allow herself to be embarrassed here.
"Hah."
Skylar sneered, but he had no intention of stopping. Coralie couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed a spoon from the table and poked hard in between his legs. "Bang!"
Skylar was in pain. He swung his leg and kicked the table directly.
At the same time, he let go of Coralie.
Coralie took the opportunity and stood up with her bag. She said to the leaders in a very rushed manner, "I'm sorry, I can't hold my liquor. I need to take a rest. Please excuse me." After that, she turned around and left, without looking back.
The leaders looked at each other, and they were speechless. Skylar didn't seem angry. However, seeing Skylar's veins popping out, no one dared to speak up.
They did not dare to imagine what had happened under the table between Coralie and Skylar.
"My wife is angry. I shall leave with her,"
Skylar said in a casual manner as he left. He then chased after Coralie.
The leaders looked at each other in confusion and said, "Did President Holland just say that his "wife" was angry?"
"It seemed like it."
"What does this mean?"
"I have no clue."
Everyone did not dare to speculate about Skylar's private life. At first, she is his girlfriend, and now she is his wife. They were not sure of which to believe. Nonetheless, one thing was for sure. The leaders were more wary of both Coralie and Corrine. They would not dare to offend either of them, and risk angering Skylar.
Unlike October, the weather was already colder. The temperature at night was around 10 degrees Celsius. Coralie rubbed her arms while walking toward the bus station. With the cool breeze, she regained some of her senses.
"Skylar! You b*stard!"
Thinking of what happened just now, Coralie really felt that it was the most embarrassing moment of her life.
As Coralie walked forward, an orange light came from behind, illuminating the road in front of her.
"Honk honk."
Before she could turn around, the car had already honked at her.
Coralie looked back and saw the logo of the luxury car behind her. It was an Aston Martin. Although the color of the car could not be seen clearly in the night, she immediately knew that it was Skylar's car.
