Chapter 83
Coralie looked at the notes that she had not finished reading. She had no choice but to call Skylar.
However, the line was busy.
She thought of calling him again later, but in the blink of an eye, she forgot about it.
Skylar was chatting with his grandmother in the hospital. On the way there, he had received a call from
Valerie. Grandmother Holland had taken a long nap today, so she was in high spirits that night.
Seeing that Coralie did not come with Skylar, Grandmother Holland asked, "Where is Coralie? I know
you have a good relationship with Valerie, but Coralie is your wife. You have to set clear boundaries."
"I transferred her to Skyton Corporation. When I left work today, I passed by her office. She seemed to
be reading the job manual. She was probably going to work overtime, so I didn't disturb her,"
Skylar explained.
Moreover, there were other people in the office at that time. Skylar promised Coralie that he would not
expose their relationship in the office, so he did not go in and say hello to her.
"Well, it's rare to find a woman like Coralie. Usually, if a young lady marries into a family like ours, she
won't be willing to go to work. But Coralie is hardworking."
Grandmother Holland kept nodding. She was secretly hinting about Lillian Ford. Even if she didn't say it
out loud, Skylar understood what she meant.
"Well, she was like this when she was in college." Skylar thought of Coralie when she was in college.
There was a twinkle in his eyes. He looked down at the time, and it was almost 12 o'clock. "Granny,
you should rest early. I will come and visit you another day."
"Okay, be careful on your way back."
Grandmother Holland thought that Coralie was waiting for Skylar at home, so she did not ask him to
stay.
When Skylar drove home, he entered the door and saw that Coralie's coat was not on the hanger
there. He frowned slightly and asked, "Could she still be at work?"
He turned around and drove to the company.
Skylar reached the company and looked up. All the lights in the building were switched off, except for
the 6th floor, which was the location of the finance department. Needless to say, Coralie was working
overtime.
When Skylar arrived at the sixth floor, he saw Coralie holding the manuals and a dictionary. As she
read these while referring to the software, he pulled a stool over and sat next to her. He took the
manuals from Coralie's hand and said, "Come, let me have a look."
Coralie was looking at the manuals in a daze. Suddenly, someone took them away from her. She was
shocked and looked up again. When she saw Skylar sitting next to her, she was even more shocked.
"Why didn't you leave?"
"I left, and then I came back,"
Skylar said as he looked at the manuals.
"Give them back to me. There are still many things that I haven't finished reading."
"Let me read them first. It will be faster if I teach you after I finished reading the manuals."
When Coralie was about to grab these manuals, Skylar turned away so she couldn't get them.
Skylar held the manuals and read them for about half an hour or so. Then, he said, "Turn on the
software and I'll teach you."
"You, you're done learning it?"
"It's not that you don't know how to do it. It's just that you are unfamiliar with the jargon. When you have
checked out the meaning of these terms in the the later parts, you then forget the earlier parts."
"It's true."
After thinking about it, Coralie found that she had almost forgotten all the previous things. The
notebook was filled with her handwritten descriptions.
"Come on, I'll show you how to operate these systems."
Skylar stood behind Coralie, holding the mouse in one hand and typing on the keyboard with the other
hand. He wrapped his body around her with his chin resting against the top of her head.
Step by step, he could find everything he wanted. He told her all the important terms, wrote them on
the post-it notes and put them on the table.
Coralie sat there and watched him. His slender fingers were dancing on the keyboard. His other hand
was holding the mouse and he clicked on the screen from time to time. Surrounded by the faint scent of
his cologne, her heart was beating fast.
At the same time, his simple and understandable explanation, coupled with the notes that he made,
helped Coralie to feel that she was so lucky.
After Skylar gave her the basic explanation of the software, Coralie said, "It's great that I married you."
"What?"
Skylar didn't hear her clearly.
Coralie also realized that she had accidentally blurted out what she had in mind. She quickly shook her
head. "Nothing, thank you so much."
"What else is there? Let me teach you all of them."
"No, you don't have to. I've already checked on these things myself and I know the basics."
Coralie shook her head.
However, at this time, Skylar still chose to pick up the manual of another software and looked through it
carefully. Then, he returned it to Coralie and said, "Well, if there is anything you don't understand
tomorrow, call me again."
He stretched himself while Coralie sorted out the notes on the table. Then, she got up and said, "Let's
go home."
Skylar glanced at his watch. It was already 3 o'clock. "If we go back at this time, we'll have to get up in
less than two hours. Let's rest in my office."
"Your office?"
"Yes."
Skylar took her to the top floor. This was the first time Coralie had entered the president's office. More
than half of the top floor was the president's office, and there was a small waiting room next to it.
Before coming up, Coralie was still thinking whether Skylar would spend the night with her on the sofa.
However, when she followed him into his office, she realized that this office was not what she thought it
was. The president's office was in front, and there was a door behind it. Entering the door, there was a
bathroom, bedroom and wardrobe. It was like a small hotel suite.
"Is this where you bring your secretaries for trysts?"
Coralie looked at the two-meter-wide double bed in front of her. The bedding on it was neat and tidy.
There were two pillows on both sides. This was the first thing that crossed her mind.
"I didn't expect you to be so imaginative,"
Skylar said with a smile.
Coralie ignored him and went to the bedside. She sniffed the pillow. Then, she ran to the other side and
sniffed the other pillow.
"What are you doing?"
"Well, I am just trying to see if there's any scent of another woman."
"And what's the result?"
"You've washed the sheets. I can't smell anything on it."
Skylar looked at Coralie, who was standing by the bed with a serious look on her face. He couldn't help
hugging Coralie's waist from behind. He fiddled gently with her soft hair using the tip of his nose and
asked, "Why, are you jealous?"
Coralie was shocked by his actions, but she didn't dare to move. She shook her head desperately. "No,
no. It's normal for the President to sleep with the secretaries."
In her mind, many secretaries had improper relationships with the president.
"Do you think so?"
"I guess so." Coralie smiled awkwardly, got out of his arms, and lay down quickly on the bed. "Let's
sleep first. It's almost dawn."
However, as soon as she lay down, she saw a long strand of hair under the pillow. Coralie calmed
herself down and pulled the hair out. It was around 10 centimeters long, and it was chestnut-colored Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
and curly.
Although there were many people with similar-colored, long, and curly hair, the first person that came to
her mind was Valerie.
She felt a strong sense of loss in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything. Instead, she put the
hair under the pillow quietly.
