You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 12

"Your husband cheated on you?"

Shania Quell who was on her seat showed a look of disbelief on her face as she was drinking water.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you"

Coralie then returned to her seat. She understood that it would be useless to argue with a woman like Shania, whose husband had cheated on her while she was going through her menopause. Moreover, Shania always used to praise how incredible her son was but the truth was, her son had not visited her even once in 2 years. That was why Coralie felt that it was not necessary at all to try to convince her.

"It's not like we've never seen your husband before. By the look of him, he looks like an honest man. But you on the other hand, you're just pretending to be an innocent lady to seduce men."

Shania never liked Coralie all this while.

Although Coralie always kept a low profile and dressed modestly, she was still a pretty woman. All the other male colleagues in the office had a good relationship with her, especially Director Lane who had always taken good care of her which made Shania indignant.

"It seems like you knew him better than I do."

Coralie sneered.

Shania had only taken a look at Howard once from a distance when he came to the company to pick Coralie up. She had only seen him once, and was already full of praises for Howard.

Sometimes, she would praise Howard for being handsome and sometimes she would praise Howard for being so considerate of his wife. Her words were full of envy for Coralie. Now that they were divorced, Shania was more willing to believe that she was right about him back then.

"I don't know him, but I know you. We have been colleagues for two years already. How could I not know what kind of person you are?"

"So what kind of person am I?"

Since she had brought it up today, Coralie was done trying to be nice.

In the past, she had been tolerant towards Shania so that she could continue to work in this company. But now, she did not want to feel wronged anymore.

"What kind of person? It's not like you hadn't done it before. You seduced Director Lane and even Zayne from the office next door!"

"Director Lane? Zayne?"

Coralie didn't expect that Shania would say that. She had been working in the company for two years and had never done anything that was excessive.

"Yes, you stayed in Director Lane's office for more than half an hour that day. Only you know what you two were doing!"

That day, Director Lane's computer had broken down. He had asked Coralie to help him reboot the computer system, that was why it took her more than half an hour.

Unexpectedly, her colleague had viewed this differently.

"I was working on his computer system. You can ask Director Lane to clarify on this matter."

"Ask? Do you think I can get the truth after you guys had done such a shameful thing?"

Shania's arms were crossed in front of her chest.

The other colleagues didn't say anything. After all, Shania was a senior in the company. Although they didn't like her, they wouldn't dare to face her head-on.

If she didn't break out from silence, she would die in silence.

Coralie took a deep breath and finally said, "Aunty Quell, is it because that you haven't had sex with your husband in a long time, so you'll naturally link to what everyone else's doing with sex?"

"Puff."

Some of the colleagues laughed mischievously, but they immediately restrained themselves.

Shania's face turned green. This was her trigger point.

Everyone knew that her husband was having an affair. He never came home at night and wouldn't even talk to her.

She had been complaining about it in the company every day.

"You be careful! Coralie Chariott!"

Shania stormed out of the office angrily.

At the same time,some of Coralie's colleagues came to comfort her. "Carolie, why did you have to do that? You have been enduring for so long and there are still two years left until her retirement."

Coralie looked up and saw that it was Xenia Lowell who entered the company at the same time as her. It was she who couldn't hold back her laughter just now.

"I was the one who got cheated on, and yet she said that. I really can't stand it."

Coralie couldn't help but to complain.

Coralie thought that she had been so nice to Howard's mother for so many years, but in turn she had made up a rumor that Coralie had cheated on Howard to slander her. Coralie just couldn't bear it anymore.

"All right, don't be angry. Let's go for a drink tonight."
