You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 52

She curled up and lied down, listening to the sound of splashing water from the bathroom. This time, she did not dare to fall asleep.

When Skylar Holland came out, Coralie Chariott quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but she opened her ears to listen carefully to his movements.

She was lying at the corner of the two-meter-wide bed. She didn't even take up 50 centimetres by herself.

Coralie pretended to breath intermittently and she tried to snore. However, she could clearly feel that Skylar had come out of the bathroom. He went straight to her side and looked at her.

The steam from his body was spreading out around him. Coralie could even smell the scent of the shower gel on Skylar.

It meant that he was really close to her.

Coralie did not dare to move. She pretended to fall asleep until... a drop of cold water dripped down from above and splashed on her face.

Before Coralie could decide whether she should open her eyes, a warm kiss fell on her lips.

After a long time, they separated.

Then, a long sigh was heard.

......

The next morning, Coralie woke up very early. She saw that Skylar was still sleeping. In order to avoid any embarrassment, she prepared breakfast quickly. She didn't have time to eat at home, so she went to work taking a sandwich.

After Skylar came down, he saw the sandwich, milk, and saw a post-it note beside them.

On the note, it was written, "Remember to heat up the milk a little more."

Seeing this, Skylar's heart sank. He picked up the milk and put it into the microwave.

After breakfast, Jayson Lowell came to pick him up. When they arrived at the company, Jayson pressed the button of the second floor on the elevator as usual.

The second floor was the company's canteen. Every day, Skylar would go to the canteen to have breakfast before he went to work, but today, Skylar pressed the button to his office floor.

"President Holland, don't you want to eat?" Jayson was surprised. "It's not good for your stomach if you don't eat."

Jayson had been with Skylar for many years. In the early days of Skyton Corporation's establishment, Skylar often worked overtime alone and forgot to eat or sleep, and has stomach problems all year round.

"I've eaten already."

Skylar stood in the middle of the elevator. Although there was no change in his expression, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.

"President Holland,you finally hired a housekeeper? Thank goodness, looks like there is hope for your old habit to be cured."

Jayson didn't know that there was another woman in Skylar's house.

He assumed that Valerie Rae would be Mrs Holland, even though she was abroad.

......

Coralie got off work. As she thought of the fact that she would be embarrassed seeing Skylar when she went home today, she received a text message from Xenia Lowell.

"Coralie, I received my pay today. I'll treat you to dinner! See you at the usual place!"

Coralie replied without thinking, "OK!"

She sent a message to Skylar casually, indicating that she would not be back for dinner.

She thought that Skylar would definitely work overtime, so it didn't matter if she didn't go back for dinner.

After getting off work, Coralie took the subway and rushed to the hangout place where Xenia and herself usually went—the hot pot restaurant.

"Coralie, which company do you work for? I've decided to look for a job. After you left our company, I've been listening to those women gossiping every day. I'm going crazy because of that."
