Although a whole night had passed, Coralie's cheeks were still tinged with red.
Skylar reached out and helped her to tuck her hair away from the face. "Don't worry, it's not obvious."
At least, he couldn't see it clearly from such a distance.
......
After breakfast, Skylar sent Coralie to work but dropped her off when they were some hundred meters away from the company.
As soon as Coralie entered the company, she met Felicia. Felicia took out her mobile phone and showed it to Coralie. "Look, Harrison really took his wife to the Maldives during the holidays, he even sent some photos."
The photo was forwarded to the colleagues' group chat. The colleagues were all admiring that how Harrison was a model husband and how all the other female colleagues should find a husband like him.
"Yesterday I saw him at a restaurant with Alison."
Looking at Harrison's wife in the photo with a happy and sweet smile stretched across her face, Coralie felt a little pity for her.
"Well, what can we do?"
After Felicia finished speaking, she put away her phone and the two of them took the elevator upstairs together.
When the elevator door was about to close, Harrison suddenly dashed from a distance. Seeing Coralie in the elevator, he immediately said politely, "Coralie, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday. It was my fault that she lashed out like that."
Since it was working hours, there were a lot of colleagues in the elevator. Everyone looked at Coralie and Harrison curiously.
After all, Harrison was a team leader in the sales department, but Coralie was just a newcomer who joined the company less than half a year ago. Why did Harrison speak to her like so courteously?
"It's okay, don't worry about it."
Coralie could sense the strange look from the colleagues, so she waved her hand in an instant, hoping that Harrison would stop with his apology.
However, Harrison behaved as if he didn't hear it and insisted, "I didn't expect that you've been remarried..."
His words invited more curious looks from everyone in the elevator, and they were now focused on Coralie.
Coralie finally realized that Harrison was venting his anger on her in the company because he felt aggrieved from the previous day's incident with Skylar.
When they heard the word "remarried", the curiosity amongst the colleagues kicked up a notch.
The finance department was on the sixth floor. Seeing that the elevator door was about to open, Coralie regained her poise. She looked at Harrison and said, "Mr. Davis, my personal matters have nothing to do with you. I hope you can leave some privacy for me."
After that, she walked out of the elevator without looking back.
The colleagues around seemed to have feasted their eyes on a good show. After a back and forth debate, Coralie got the upper hand.
After all, big companies had their own rules. For example, it was the most fundamental rule to never enquire about other people's personal affairs. Harrison's actions just now obviously violated this rule. Coralie was right to warn him.
No matter what, her divorce, or even divorces, were all her personal affairs.
After getting off the elevator, Felicia showed Coralie a thumbs-up. "Coralie, you're amazing. You must teach me the secret on how to silence the other party in one sentence."
As a matter of fact, Coralie was not the kind of person with a particular glib tongue. She thought that she just told the truth.
