Chapter 97
"Sorry to trouble you, Assistant Lowell."
Lorraine saw that Jayson was coming over. She knew that Jayson had just heard the conversation between the two women.
After giving the documents to Jayson, she returned to her seat and ignored Coralie.
Coralie saw that no one was looking for trouble with her, so she took the elevator downstairs.
Jayson took the documents and entered Skylar's office. He put them on the table and said, "President Holland, Miss Chariott is an interesting person."
Jayson was involved in many of the events that had happened between Skylar and Coralie.
For example, he was at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, when Skylar saw Coralie and Howard getting a divorce.
A month later, he was also there when Skylar sent Coralie to the hotel. Skylar didn't go back that night.
He had worked for Skylar for a long time, so he knew that Skylar was a person who didn't like meddling in other people's business. However, he had broken the rules many times for Coralie, so the relationship between them was self-evident.
"What's wrong?"
Skylar knew that he was talking about Coralie.
Jayson conveyed the dialogue between Lorraine and Coralie to Skylar, and then added, "Lorraine, who is known for her talent and quick wit, was shut down by Miss Chariott. I don't know how she is feeling right now."
Hearing this, Skylar's cold lips curled up slightly, forming a beautiful arc.
Of course, his woman was different.
However, Skylar still said, "I think you are very idle."
Seeing Skylar's arrogant posture, Jayson immediately said, "I'm not idle, I'm not idle. I have a lot of things to do."
After that, he left the office swiftly.
At the door, he happened to see Lorraine. Thinking of the fact that everyone was working on the same floor, he reminded her, "Thomas, let's focus on President Holland's work matters but not his private life. There are a lot of things in regards to this matter that you are not aware of."
From Jayson's point of view, no matter what Lorraine was thinking, she had crossed the line.
Lorraine was not convinced by this. "In regards to Coralie, I've seen her resume. She graduated from the same college as President Holland and worked in a small company. I asked someone about it. The salary of that company is only slightly more than 2,000 dollars! How can she come to Skyton Corporation and earn so much here?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
Jayson didn't quite understand a woman's mind. Just like what Coralie said, it had nothing to do with her, in regards to who Skylar was with.
Coralie's previous life had nothing to do with her. He didn't expect Lorraine to investigate Coralie's background.
"I... I just think that President Holland is so excellent. He shouldn't be with such an ordinary woman."
Lorraine told the truth.
"Well, you'd better do your own thing."
Jayson found that he could not communicate with Lorraine at all, so he had no choice but to go to the meeting room to prepare for the meeting later.
When Coralie arrived at her office, her cell phone rang.
Skylar said, "Did you get nagged by my secretary?"
Coralie was a little surprised because she didn't expect that Skylar would know these things. She replied, "She just cares a lot for you."
Compared with Joanna, Lorraine was a powerful woman. She did not choose to play dirty tricks, which caused Coralie to feel much more relieved.
Also, Coralie could feel that Lorraine exuded a confident temperament from within, just by observing her. This confidence came from her good educational background and excellent abilities.
She wanted this kind of confidence as well.
Skylar said, "You can tell me anything in the future."
Coralie didn't know why he said that, but she felt safe when this man cared for her.
"What are you laughing at? I can feel the sweetness even though I'm several meters away from you."
Felicia York, who was standing aside, turned her head and saw Coralie giggling at the screen.
"Nothing."
Even Coralie did not realize that she would do such a stupid thing, but his concern let her know that he cared for her.
She also wanted to express her concern in her own way.
There were only a few days left before Christmas.
Coralie wanted to prepare a gift for Skylar on Christmas. However, he was excellent and rich, so he probably needed nothing. Was there anything that he could not get?
It might be the moon and the stars next to it.
These days, when Coralie was not busy with work, she searched around online and she wanted to find a suitable gift for Skylar. After all, she couldn't afford an expensive gift. Even if she gave him an expensive gift, he might not like it.
Perhaps she could give him a meaningful gift...
After she searched for Christmas gifts, she found that most of them were scarfs. Coralie couldn't help but think of the past. When she was in college, she had promised to give him a scarf before he graduated. However, after what happened with Lillian Ford, she did not do so.
Coralie still had some basic skills in knitting. She simply bought the yarn and secretly hid at home to make a scarf, using the excuse that she would go home to accompany her mother these days.
December 24th arrived.
She bought a beautiful box, put the dark blue scarf that she made in it, and then brought it to the office.
She wanted to give Skylar a surprise when he got home at night.
However, when she entered the house with the box at night, she saw a beautiful gift box on the tea table. The lid was half open, and there was a blue Burberry scarf lying inside...
"This is..."
"It was sent by someone else."
Skylar deliberately avoided saying Valerie's name, but Coralie could see that there was a small card on the scarf, which said,
"Skylar, I'm not around this Christmas. Hope this scarf will warm you up."
The signature was Valerie.
Coralie held the gift box in her hand and looked at the scarf sent by Valerie. She suddenly felt that her gift was low-class.
She felt a little regretful. In fact, a scarf was not particularly expensive. Also, they were not students on tight budgets anymore. Who would want her hand-made scarf?
"What are you holding?"
Skylar came down from upstairs and saw Coralie walking to the kitchen with a big box in her arms, so he asked her this casually.
"This... Nothing, I just brought back something from the company."
Coralie lied to him with a guilty conscience. Then, she sneaked into the kitchen, found a black garbage bag, threw her scarf into the bag, and then tied it up. She thought she would secretly throw them away when she went out tomorrow.
