You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 3

As the ownership of assets between Coralie and Howard was very clear, the divorce procedure was

simple.

In just a few minutes, they had already gotten their divorce certificate.-

"Okay, Coralie, if there is anything in the future..."

Before Howard could finish his words, Alison nudged him gently with her elbow and said "Dear, what

were you trying to say?"

Howard didn't continue his words after being reminded by Alison. He just waved his hands and left.

At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Howard and Alison left.

Coralie, who was alone with her bag in her hand, looked at the people who were coming in and out of

the door. At that moment, she felt confused and helpless.

She walked towards the flower bed and sat down on the edges alone. She put her hands on her knees

and looked into the distance with an empty gaze.

A black Mercedes-Benz was parked there for a long time.

The man in the back seat of the car looked at the ordinary girl who was sitting on the side of the road

through the tinted glass. There was something strange in his deep and dark eyes.

"President Holland, the company's video conference is about to start."

His assistant, Jayson Lowell, who was sitting in the front seat of the car, kindly reminded him.

Not too long ago, when their car passed by the Civil Affairs Bureau, President Holland suddenly

ordered the car to stop. Then, he kept looking at the couples who were here to get a divorce.

It looked like a couple was getting a divorce, and the man had even brought the mistress together with

him.

The whole process from the time the three of them met at the entrance, to when they went in to get the

divorce certificate, and until when the man and the mistress had left, he had been watching them

silently.

Jayson was a little puzzled. President Holland had always been known for his aloofness. Since when

did he start to get interested in other people's affairs?

"Cancel the video conference."

Upon finishing his sentence, the man in the back seat had already opened the door and strode towards

the woman who was sitting next to the flower bed.

Jayson was so surprised that his jaw dropped. President Holland, who had always prioritized his work,

had actually asked him to cancel a meeting. Has the sun risen from the West?

Coralie sat by the flower bed for a long time and adjusted her mood. She remembered that she had

made an appointment with a realtor to check out a listing in the afternoon. Just when she was getting

up to leave, she bumped into a dark figure.

The collision had sent her bag flying, along with the contents of the bag falling out to the ground.

Including the divorce papers.

"I'm sorry."

Coralie bent down to pick up the things, and the man also knelt down to help her.

After everything else was picked up and placed into the bag, both of their hands simultaneously

reached out for the divorce papers that had fell quite a distance away.

Coralie's fingers gently touched the man's big palm. She quickly removed her hand off his and waited

for the man to pick up the divorce papers to hand it to her before she finally raised her head to thank

the man.

"Thank..."

Coralie looked up. Before she could finish saying "thank you", the smile on her face froze.

"Skylar... Holland?"

"Long time no see, Coralie Chariott."

Skylar was more than six feet tall. When he stood in front of her, he completely blocked the sunshine

from behind him.

Coralie stood in front of this stranger whom she once knew, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Skylar was two years older than Coralie. They were both university-mates and the former members of

the Student Council. The difference was that Skylar was the President of the Student Council while

Coralie was in the publicity department of the Student Council.

Back then, Coralie who was the host had often worked on the programs for the events until late at

night.

And Skylar was always the one accompanying her.

Although the two of them were not in an official relationship, in the eyes of the other students, they

were a couple.

But everything came to an abrupt end on the day of Skylar's graduation.

That day, after Coralie had accompanied Skylar to take his graduation photo, Skylar's mother had a

conversation with her. It was at that time that she had found out that Skylar was a young master of a

wealthy family.

She then understood the vast difference in social status and wealth between them.

Up till this day, she could still remember what Skylar's mother had said to her on that day. She said,

"I've seen many bumpkins like you who are social climbers. Our family will not accept a woman of your

background. Your parents must be terrible people who try to use their own daughter to seduce men to

change their fate."

In Coralie's view, it was fine that his mother was criticising her. But the woman had stepped over the

line when she insulted her parents!

Coralie snatched the divorce papers from Skylar and forced a smile, saying, "I have something else to

rush to."

She initially thought that after leaving college, they would be entering two different worlds and they

would never meet again. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

She didn't expect that after college graduation, they would meet when she was in such a mess.

When she was about to leave, Skylar grabbed her arm with his big hand. The man's deep voice was

full of displeasure. "I have something to do too."

Coralie didn't expect that he would hold her back so she replied awkwardly, "Then go ahead."

Over the years, she had heard from her classmates that Skylar had now inherited his family's

businesses and became a powerful President at the company.

The gap between them was now as vast as the sea.

"It has something to do with you."

The man's voice was firm and loud.

At the same time, he had been holding Coralie's arm, and he had no intention of letting go of it.

Coralie struggled for a long time but failed to break free. Eventually, she gave up and turned to face

Skylar. She asked seriously, "What's the matter?"

Skylar lowered his head and looked at Coralie, who was wearing a plain dress in front of him. After so

many years, she had not changed at all.

She still looked like the obedient girl that he always knew, but deep down he knew that beneath her

well-behaved appearance, she was more stubborn than anyone else.

"My grandmother has been in poor health recently. My family had requested me to get married, so that

I can bring good luck for the family. I need a good-luck-bride."

The man said slowly.

To bring good luck for the family?

Coralie lowered her head and asked, "You're not actually considering me, a woman who had just been

abandoned by a man, to fill in the role, are you?"
