You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 15

"Your lover is not Coralie? I guess you don't really have good taste. I think Coralie is a fine woman."

When he heard that Director Lane's mistress was not Coralie Chariott, Manager Zenford seemed to be a little relieved and had even changed the way he would address Coralie.

"I don't have a lover. Thank you."

Coralie stressed that her husband's extramarital affair and her divorce were all private matters which she had never thought of taking it to the public nor sharing it with the people in the company, especially to these men who treated extramarital affairs as a normal thing.

"Anyway, why don't you leave Coralie?" Manager Zenford was straightforward with Coralie. "If you can't find a job later, you can come to me, but..."

Coralie saw that Manager Zenford's eyes were different. On the other side, Yuna who was blushing because of his touching, started looking at Coralie with a burning and hostile stare once she heard what Manager Zenford was suggesting.

"I understand. I'll go."

She turned around and walked straight out of the office.

In this small company, Manager Zenford was the one with the most power. She totally understood what he was suggesting. If she couldn't even figure this out, her time in the company for the past few years would be in vain.

In addition to the look in Yuna's eyes just now, Coralie knew that no matter what decision she had made, she could no longer stay in this company.

When Coralie returned to the office, Director Lane's wife was still there. She was having a chat with Shania, showing off how considerate her husband was and how excellent her child was.

But what was more tragic was that the people in the company knew about the true nature of their husbands.

Even if he was not a jerk, he still lacked a sense of responsibility.

While Coralie was packing her things up, she remembered something Howard's mother once said...

"There's no man in this world that does not cheat."

Maybe all men were the same.

"Ouch, looks like the mistress just got herself fired."

Shania said in a proud tone as she looked at Coralie who was packing up her own things at her desk.

"You deserve to be fired! You better stay away from my husband."

Director Lane's wife, who was standing aside, felt relieved.

Coralie lowered her head and sorted out her things. She ignored them. Other than a mug and some snacks, there was nothing else. She didn't have many things so she packed them within a short time.

She stood up as she carried her belongings in her arms and smiled at Shania and Director Lane's wife. "I'm leaving. Watch out for your husbands."

Shania had a weakness. As soon as Coralie mentioned this, she wanted to argue with her. Coralie ignored her, but when Shania was walking towards her, Coralie streched out her leg...

"Bang!"

"Ouch!"

Shania fell onto the ground with her face down.

Coralie did not look back and went straight out of the company.

The sun was blazing. She took a bus home, took a shower and changed her clothes. Then she started sending out job applications on the Internet continuously.

She had sent out a dozen of applications at a time.

After all, the relationship between her and Skylar Holland made her feel very uneasy.

Except for her mother and brother, she didn't dare to spend any of the money that she had received from Skylar. She was afraid that one day, Skylar might go back on his words and would ask her to return the money.

That evening, there was no food at home so she changed into a simple set of clothes and went downstairs to buy a bowl of noodles which had cost her 3 dollars. After having her dinner, she went over to the hospital to visit her mother and brother.

The area where Coralie was living was very old. There were no street lights. When she came back from the hospital, she had to rely on the moonlight to avoid dog poops on the ground. When she finally reached home, it was already past 10 o'clock.

She took a bath, and sat on the sofa with her hands wrapped around her legs.

Divorce, unemployed, and family in the hospital.

It couldn't get any worse, could it?

"Bang bang bang!"

Coralie was daydreaming when her door was suddenly banged hard.

Someone was banging the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

Without waiting for Coralie's response, the people outside began to bang the door again.

Coralie carefully moved to the door and stared through the peephole. Because it was an old neighborhood, there were no lights in the corridor. So, with the faint moonlight, she could only see a tall figure swaying outside of the door.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
