Chapter 40
She picked up her cell phone and wanted to send a text message to Wayne Chariott saying that she
would not be home tonight. However, she realized that she had spent too much time on the phone, and
the battery had ran out.
She thought to herself, "Skr''s cell phone is the same model as mine. There should be a charger in
the study room or somewhere else in the vi."
Coralie Chariott tiptoed out of the bedroom, and went into the study room cautiously with her phone.
Skr Hond''s study room was very big, with huge windows.
It was already past nine o''clock. The weather was good tonight. She could see the moon outside
through the window. It was very bright and it seemed close.
Coralie looked for the charger around theputer desk.
She opened a drawer beside theputer desk casually, only to see a single photo frame in it.
She picked up the frame out of curiosity. When she saw the photo on it, she was stunned.
The ss on the photo frame was cracked. It was broken and repairedter. There was a picture with
two people in it, but the face of the girl in the picture was covered in ck ink, and it was
unrecognizable.
Even so, Coralie immediately recognized that it was a photo of Skr and herself when they were in
college.
She remembered the time when Skr was graduating, they had taken a photo together. In the photo,
Skr was wearing his graduation robes, and she was wearing her favoritevender dress.
Coralie didn''t dare to think of the reason why this photo was here and why it had be like this. She
quickly stuffed it back into the drawer. She found the charger next to the keyboard, and left the study
swiftly.
She paced in front of Skr''s room. After a moment of hesitation, she went into the guest room.
After all, he had eaten porridge and he took his medicine today. If he woke up next to her, maybe...
After pondering over the situation, Coralie took the charger and went into the guest room.
......
The next morning,
Coralie woke up. She didn''t change her clothesst night, and she had slept with the clothes on her
back. The weather in October was neither too cold nor too hot, so she didn''t use a nket. She had
fallen asleep directly.
However, this morning, there was a nket covering her...
Coralie made herself presentable in the guest room and she went out of the door. Yesterday, in the
heat of the moment, Skr had ripped off a few buttons from her blouse, exposing her cleavage...
Thecy bra inside could be seen clearly.
"There are clothes on the sofa."
As soon as she walked out of the door, she heard Skr''s voice.
When Coralie went downstairs, she saw him sitting in the dining room, wearing ck pajamas and
drinking porridge.
He appeared to be in a much better state than yesterday.
She turned around and saw a bag of women''s clothes on the sofa in the living room. She thanked him
sincerely.
"You took care of me yesterday. Consider this a gift to repay you for the favor."
Skr continued to drink the porridge without even looking at her, and his face resumed its usual
indifferent expression.
This caused Coralie to be even more certain that he had mistaken her for someone else
yesterday.
Skr wanted to give her these clothes, not because he remembered what he had done yesterday. He
wanted to give her a gift in return for taking care of him, and by coincidence, his gift was clothes.
She carried the bag of clothes back to the guest room to change and then went downstairs.
The price tags on her clothes had been removed, so she didn''t know how much the clothes were.
"Thank you. I''m going to work."
"You''ve made so much porridge. Are you nning to let me finish all of this alone?"
"Can... can I have some?"
In fact, Coralie was really a little afraid of sitting down with Skr now. She was afraid that he would
ask about what had happened yesterday.
"I remember roughly what happened yesterday..."
Just as Coralie took a bowl of porridge and sat down, Skr spoke up.
"Well..."
Coralie lowered her head to drink her porridge, but her heart was pounding. During yesterday''s
incident, he must have mistaken her for Corrine Quincy. Otherwise, it was difficult toe up with a
reasonable exnation for his behavior.
However, she still hoped that Skr would give her a reasonable exnation.
"I was a little confused yesterday, so I couldn''t tell..."
As soon as he spoke, Coralie''s heart sank.
"I understand, President Hond!"
Before he finished his words, Coralie understood everything. She interrupted Skr''s words out loud,
as if she was trying to resist him or escape from him.
"What do you mean?"
Skr looked up and stared at her with his dark eyes.
"I understand that you were sick yesterday. You confused me with Corrine," Coralie said as she gritted
her teeth. Obviously, she knew that there was no possibility for them to develop anything between
them, though she still hoped for something.
How ridiculous she was. "Coralie, when will you see the truth of this matter!" she thought to herself.
Before Skr could speak, she finished the porridge in a rush and stood up. "President Hond, I''m
going to work."
After that, she went into the kitchen, washed the bowl and left with her bag. She thought of reminding
him to take his medicine, but she refrained from doing so.
It was not up to her to care for him.
......
Coralie left Skr''s house. Since his house was far from the city, she had to take a cab to work. From
the moment she stepped into office, she could sense clearly that her colleagues around her were
looking at her in a strange way.
At first, Coralie didn''t think much about this. She thought that this was due to the events that had
transpired during the banquetst Friday.
After all, everyone had seen her sitting next to Skr after Corrine had left.
"Coralie, you look different today."
As soon as she entered the office, the busybody of thepany, Sister Xavier, spoke up.
The other colleagues looked at her, but no one dared to say anything. After all, no one was certain of
the status of the rtionship between Coralie and Skr.
"Different?"
Coralie was puzzled.
"How much is your outfit? I remember that a celebrity had worn this outfit a while ago. The whole outfit
costs more than 90,000 dors."
As soon as she finished speaking, Coralie was shocked as well.
She looked at her outfit, and she felt that it was quite ordinary. The style was not bad, but there was
nothing special about it.
Now that she thought about it, was is possible that Skr would give her something cheap as a
present?
"Sister Xavier, what you said seems to be true!"
"I remember, Paris Hilton wore this, didn''t she?"
"Wow, the outfit costs 90,000 dors. Let me have a look!"
When the other colleagues heard this, they surrounded her all of a sudden.
"She is different now since she is with President Hond. She can even afford outfits that cost up to 6
figures,"
Sister Xavier looked at her and said in a strange tone.
"No, I, I bought this knockoff outfit online!"

Coralie was surrounded by her colleagues. Some praised her, others aspired to be like her, and there
were people who were making jibes at her as well. She had no choice but to say this.
After listening to her exnation, everyone looked at each other in disbelief. Of course, some people
didn''t think that she was being forthright.
"Are you kidding me? Could a knockoff be of such high quality?"
"I don''t believe it either."
After all, things that cost nearly 100,000 dors would be different from knockoffs that cost around
hundreds of dors.
As her colleagues discussed this matter, Corrine also caught wind of this drama from her office. How
could she sit still?
She was wearing a silk blouse and a short skirt. She walked toward Coralie in her 8-centimeter high
heels.
She noticed that Coralie was surrounded by her colleagues. She spotted her outfit, which was the
became absolutely furious.
