You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 20

Upon hearing Coralie's words, Skylar's calm eyes looked a little unhappy. "The only value you have is to be a good-luck-bride."

"I know. You don't need to remind me."

Coralie restrained the feeling of loss in her eyes.

She felt that she was acting a little strange recently. Sometimes she knew exactly what Skylar would say, but she still would hope for a different answer.

"Why? Do you wish to extend the contract?"

Skylar was still grabbing on her hand, showing no intention of letting her go, but his grip was slightly looser than before.

He stared at her as he waited for her to answer.

"I don't wish to extend the contract."

Coralie answered without hesitation.

"You don't want to renew the contract? Isn't it good to be Mrs. Holland?"

Listening to her reply, his expression obviously turned ugly. His handsome face which was initially calm became cold as if it was covered with a layer of frost. It was so cold that it was scary to look at.

"What's so good about renewing the contract? You've been mean to me every day. Whatever I do, you kept reminding us about our monetary relationship. After all, I'm not getting any younger. I don't have any money nor a pretty face. At least, I should have a little self-respect."

Coralie smiled bitterly as she said.

Although her dignity was important, she was indeed no longer young. It wasn't something enjoyable to her for her dignity to be trampled by Skylar whenever he liked.

Skylar didn't say anything.

Coralie did not continue too.

There was a dead silence in the car.

The car drove in the direction of the shopping mall. When it was about to reach the entrance of the mall, Skylar suddenly said, "If I stop mentioning that the relationship between us is just a monetary one, will you renew the contract with me?"

His voice was so soft that it couldn't be heard.

"What? President Holland, what are you talking about? I didn't hear it clearly."

Coralie was focused on the scenery outside, she only turned around when he heard him speaking.

Skylar looked at her expression, and it was full of doubt. It seemed that she really hadn't hear him clearly.

He said coldly, "Nevermind."

Then he took out a black credit card from his wallet and handed it to her.

"What are you doing? I have a card."

Coralie was puzzled. She knew that she was going to buy clothes today, so she took the card that Skylar had previously given her. After all, she couldn't wear cheap clothes to attend the Holland family's banquet.

She understood all of these.

Although she refused, Skylar still put the card in her hand and said, "The 5 million dollars is to buy one year of your time. Since I asked you to buy clothes, of course, I'll pay for it"

"Oh, President Holland had the figures well calculated."

What he wanted to express was that he should be the one paying for Coralie's clothes.

But when he said that, it was difficult for people to understand what he really meant.

However, Coralie did not continue to refuse, in case Skylar reminded her again about the deal between them.

"You go in first. I'll go back to the company and come see you later."

"Okay."

Coralie took the credit card and got off the car. Skylar left in his car.

This shopping mall was the most high-end shopping mall in A City.

There were a total of 9 floors in the shopping mall, from men's wear, women's clothing, children's clothing, shoes, hats, jewelries, all of which were basically high-end brands.

It could be said that it was the gathering place of the notable young socialites in this city.

That person walked into the store arrogantly and "accidentally" turned back. When she saw Coralie, she looked surprised and said. "Sister Corrie, what are you doing here?"

"She doesn't have any money, yet she wants to try on your dress."

The shop assistant was good at talking. Even before she paid, she spoke as if the dress had already belonged to Alison Herman.

However, Coralie knew Alison's condition better than anyone else. With her financial status, she wouldn't be able to afford a dress that was worth 12,000 dollars, even if Howard were to sponsor her.

"Haha, if she likes it, let her buy it then. It doesn't matter whether I get to buy it or not."

"Sister, don't say that. When this dress first came in, I immediately thought of you. At that time, I thought, the dress will look perfect on you."

The shop assistant didn't even need to prepare for a draft, she just continued on and on with her flattering words.

However, Alison was really vulnerable to such flattery. She took the dress that the shop assistant had found for her and went into the fitting room. Before entering, she said to Coralie, "Sister Corrie, don't go yet. Be my style adviser since you're here."

Coralie indeed stood there and did not move an inch, not because she had heard Alison calling her.

She could tell that Alison was not suited for this dress at all.

Her legs were short, hence the midi length of the dress did not flatter her figure.

As expected, when Alison came out wearing the dress, her short legs were immediately highlighted.

"Isn't it beautiful? Sister Corrie?"

Alison turned around and asked Coralie for her opinion.

"As long as you like it."

After Coralie finished speaking, she wanted to leave.

"What do you mean by as long as she likes it? This dress is obviously made for her. Don't be a bad sport just because you couldn't afford it."

It was obvious that the shop assistant was dissatisfied with Coralie's answer. Generally speaking, it meant that it did not look good.
