Coralie sat in the office and felt a little remorseful. After all, Valerie would be her colleague. They would definitely see each other regularly. Besides, Valerie had never been hostile towards Coralie. In contrast, Coralie seemed to be the one in the wrong given her unfriendly attitude earlier.
Seeing that her colleagues had not returned to the office yet, she pulled open the drawer and wanted to munch on some snacks.
When she opened the drawer and saw a pack of tampons, she realized that her period seemed to have been late for about a week. As a matter of fact, Coralie's period was never on time. This was not the first time it was late.
However, the unusual symptoms she was experiencing lately prompted her to search for pregnancy symptoms on the Internet.
Originally, Coralie assumed that the symptom of pregnancy was the nauseous morning sickness, but after her search, she found that the symptom of pregnancy was different for every individual. Some of them developed morning sickness, some might feel sleepy, some had a bad appetite and some of them showed a better appetite.
Coralie suddenly recalled that she had more difficulties getting up in the morning and her appetite was bad all the time...
Suddenly, she felt a bad premonition.
She dashed to the pharmacy at the entrance of the company and bought a pregnancy test stick. Then she hid it in her sleeves and walked into the elevator.
Coralie went into the elevator on the first floor. When it reached the second floor, the elevator stopped. Felicia and Valerie entered the elevator together. Instinctively, Coralie hid her hand carrying the pregnancy test stick behind her back.
Felicia spoke as soon as she saw Coralie, "Coralie, you ate too little just now. I got you some fruits."
As she spoke, she raised the apple in her hand and was about to give it to Coralie.
However, Coralie was holding the pregnancy test stick in one hand and her mobile phone in the other. She quickly said, "Please hold on to it for me. I'm going to the bathroom. Thank you."
As she spoke, she did not even dare to raise her head.
Valerie, who had been standing next to her, did not speak but had her eyes fixed on Coralie's arm that she hid behind her.
Obviously, Coralie was hiding something.
However, in the elevator, Valerie did not speak nor probe. When the elevator reached the sixth floor, Coralie and Felicia got off the elevator. Valerie quickly pressed the button which showed a seven.
Then she got off on the seventh floor and walked down to the sixth floor using the stairs.
When Coralie arrived at the sixth floor, she rushed straight into the bathroom. She couldn't wait to open the package and start testing.
The result came out quickly. When the liquid reached the middle section, two red bars, one deep and the other shallow, were clearly visible.
This was completely different from the previous result.
If she hadn't seen Valerie earlier, she would have confessed openly to Skylar about her pregnancy. However, since she had seen Valerie today, she had to think twice about it.
Coralie threw the pregnancy test stick into the trash can and left in a hurry. Her heart was in a mess.
Seeing that Coralie had exited the bathroom, Valerie walked in calmly.
After looking at two toilet stalls, Valerie caught glimpse of a pregnancy test stick in one of the trash cans. She hesitated for a moment, and then took out a tissue from her pocket. She picked up the trash can and got her hands on the stick.
When she saw the test results, her face darkened.
She knew that Coralie had just found out about her pregnancy. She didn't know if it was a good or bad thing...
......
Valerie first went upstairs in a composed manner. When she saw Skylar in the office, she knocked on the door.
