Upon hearing Skylar's words, the audience burst into an uproar. At the same time, applause and cheers were heard all around in the hall.
"President Holland, congratulations!"
"Mrs. Holland!"
"Mr. Holland is already married. I don't want to live anymore!"
Under the stage, different voices could be heard.
However, Coralie could understand that as well. As one of the famous, top five elite bachelors in A City, Skylar naturally had a lot of fans. Now that people knew he had a wife, there must be some who couldn't accept it.
Lenora, the host, picked up the microphone and tried to soothe the atmosphere. "President Holland, the Skyton Corporation's female employees have all just gone through a heartbreak. Please don't cry, everyone. It's my treat tonight. I'll treat all of you to another feast tonight!"
Lenora's words were quite honorable!
The audience erupted in cheers.
"Lenora, you do understand us!"
"I'll go, I'll go! I'll be the first one to sign up."
The female employees who had been complaining just now seemed to have completely forgotten that they were 'heartbroken' and were eager to go to Lenora's dinner party.
Lenora asked Skylar with a miserable face, "President Holland, will you compensate me for that?"
"Of course!" Skylar took out a cheque from his pocket and wrote down a handsome amount of 200,000 dollars. "This is for the second round tonight, is it enough?"
"One, two, three, four..." Lenora took the check and counted the zeros carefully. Then she nodded hard and said, "It's enough! Come on everyone! It's President Holland's treat today!"
The atmosphere below the stage was stirred again.
Coralie looked at Lenora in awe. Lenora could just adjust the atmosphere and her ability to resolve awkward situations was really awesome!
"Then let's continue on to the next programme!"
Lenora said as she picked up the list of programmes.
The programmes then continued, Skylar and Coralie both sat down at a table which was reserved for them in advance.
There were already two people sitting at the table, which were Dominic and Jayson.
"Hello, President Holland."
Coralie pushed Skylar over. Dominic and Jayson then greeted Skylar.
"President Holland, I've discussed with Director West that after the New Year's holidays, we'll inform Hazel to come over. After all, there are still some jobs that need to be handed over."
Seeing him coming over, Jayson reported to him about work first.
"Sure."
Skylar nodded.
Coralie did not know what they were talking about. She only thought that it was none of her business.
She sat aside and had nothing to do. At the same time, a message popped up on her cell phone. It was a message from Felicia York.
"Coralie, come here! On your right!"
Coralie looked up and she saw Felicia waving her hand to greet her.
Speaking of which, the reason why Coralie met Skylar was mostly because of Felicia.
"Skylar, I'm going to sit at the table over there."
Coralie told Skylar about it first.
Skylar raised his head and saw Felicia waving from not far away. He then nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Coralie sat at Felicia's table and saw that there was another familiar face sitting on the table...
"Rainie? Why are you here?"
"Coralie! Is that really you? I couldn't believe my eyes when President Holland announced it. It turns out that you're really with..."
