You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 328

Coralie and Skylar both stayed in the dressing room for over an hour.

As they hadn't seen each other in a long time, although the time they had was short, they were reluctant to stop.

When they were done, Coralie stood in front of the mirror. Her lipstick was all over her face.

"I'm afraid I'll have to redo my makeup."

Coralie looked at the time. Skylar mentioned that they would have to reach at 7 o' clock, but it was already past 7.

"It's okay. It's fine to be a little late."

Skylar didn't really mind. As the CEO, of course, he had the privilege to be late.

The makeup artist didn't dare to go in until Skylar opened the door and went out.

By this time, Coralie had already wiped the lipstick on her face off with a piece of cotton.

"Don't wipe it, don't wipe it. Let's redo the make up."

The makeup artist looked at the uneven foundation stains on Coralie's face. Instead of trying to fix it, she might as well start over again.

"I'm sorry for troubling you."

Coralie was very embarrassed. In fact, she didn't have to hide it now. Anyone could see what had happened in the dressing room just now.

"It's okay, it's not a problem for me. Feelings are just hard to control." The make-up artist teased Coralie while pressing her down onto the seat. She then began to remove her makeup bit by bit with the makeup remover.

Because her hairstyle was already done, it was a little difficult to remove the makeup.

While her makeup was being redone, a pleasant ringtone rang. It was Coralie's cell phone.

She lowered her head to get it, only to see that it was a strange number. The first thing she thought was it being a promoter calling, so she just hung up.

However, soon her phone rang again and it was still the same number.

This time Coralie picked it up.

"Mrs. Holland, you've been living quite a good life recently, haven't you?"

As soon as Coralie answered the call, a man's hoarse voice came from the other end of the line. The voice brought goosebumps all over her body.

Her hand, which was holding the phone, shook slightly, but then she pretended to keep calm.

"Howard Schultz, did the police not catch you yet?"

Although Coralie forced herself to be calm, she still felt a little flustered when she heard Howard's voice.

"Are you looking forward to me getting arrested?" Howard sneered on the other end of the phone. "It's a pity that I was lucky enough. Never had I thought that I would live such a long life, but it's all thanks to you."

"I've already said before, you deserved all this for all the things you've done."

After finishing her words, Coralie hung up the phone.

Then she blocked the phone number.

Initially, Coralie thought that this matter was all over.

However, when Coralie was about to go out to find Skylar after the makeup was done, her cell phone rang again. She looked down and saw that it was another unknown number that sent her a text message.

"Mrs. Holland, I want three million dollars. You'd better reply to me as soon as possible, or you'll get a big surprise from me."

Coralie looked at the number that sent her the message. Although it was strange, the last four digits looked a little familiar...

She didn't know whose number it was at first.

"Can we leave now?"

Skylar waited outside and saw Coralie coming out holding her dress; her other hand was grabbing her phone.

Coralie knew Skylar's thoughts, but it wasn't good for his injury if he rushed like this. She could only comfort him in this way.

When Skylar was about to arrive at the venue, he called Jayson and told him that no one would be allowed to take photos and to shut down all the cameras inside.

This was because Skylar was representing Skyton Corporation's image, and he was the backbone of the company. If the outside world knew that he had a leg injury, the stock price of the company would definitely fluctuate, and the shareholders might question him, which would be even more troublesome then.

They were waiting for Coralie to push Skylar and enter the hall.

Although the venue of the annual meeting did not change, it was obvious that the number of people who attended had increased a lot compared to five years ago.

Coralie pushed Skylar to the centre of the red carpet. Most of the people around them were all unfamiliar faces. She could feel the different gazes and hear the whispers of the people around her.

"Who is this woman?"

"What happened to President Holland? Why is he sitting in a wheelchair?"

"What's going on? Why are the cameras all shut?"

Everyone was saying all kinds of things.

But most of them were curious about Coralie's identity.

When Coralie pushed Skylar to the end of the hall, Lenora, who was in charge of the meeting this year said, "Let's all welcome President Holland."

Below the stage, Skyton Corporation's employees all burst into applause and shouted, "President Holland! President Holland, we love you!"

Although the voices were heard one after another, their words were all approximately the same. It was obvious that they had planned it.

Coralie turned Skylar's wheelchair over, and then a staff member passed the microphone to Skylar. Skylar took the microphone and started his speech with a few memories from before and the prospect of the new year. This could also be considered an annual meeting's opening speech.

After that, Skylar said, "Everyone, as you can see, I'm injured this year. I didn't plan to come at first but I'm here today because I have something very important to announce."

Skylar pulled Coralie from behind him to his side and announced to everyone, "Today, I'm going to introduce her officially to everyone. This woman beside me is my wife, Coralie Chariott."
