Chapter 52


    She curled up and lied down, listening to the sound of sshing water from the bathroom. This time,


    she did not dare to fall asleep.


    When Skr Hond 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


    Skr hade 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 Skr.


    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 sshed 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 Skr 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 Skr 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, Skr''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 thepany, Jayson


    pressed the button of the second floor on the elevator as usual.


    The second floor was thepany''s canteen. Every day, Skr would go to the canteen to have


    breakfast before he went to work, but today, Skr pressed the button to his office floor.


    "President Hond, 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 Skr for many years. In the early days of Skyton Corporation''s establishment,


    Skr often worked overtime alone and forgot to eat or sleep, and has stomach problems all year


    round.


    "I''ve eaten already."


    Skr 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 Hond,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 Skr''s house.


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


    ......


    Coralie got off work. As she thought of the fact that she would be embarrassed seeing Skr 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 ce!"


    Coralie replied without thinking, "OK!"


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


    She thought that Skr 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 ce where Xenia and


    herself usually went—the hot pot restaurant.


    "Coralie, whichpany do you work for? I''ve decided to look for a job. After you left ourpany, I''ve


    been listening to those women gossiping every day. I''m going crazy because of that."


    As soon as Coralie sat down, Xenia startedining immediately.


    The previouspany she was at was quite small, and it didn''t require any top talents to run its


    business. Naturally, it would hire people who didn''t request for a high sry.


    After Coralie left, Xenia was basically the only young woman left. She was so bored that she thought of


    changing her job.

    "I''m working at Forest Paper Company."


    "Forest Paper, Forest Paper, it sounds familiar." Xenia was desperately searching for the information on


    thispany in her head. Finally, she pped her head and said, "Is it the chemicals manufacturing


    "Yes. Have you heard of them before?"


    Coralie didn''t expect Xenia to know about thispany.


    "Of course I know! Let me tell you something. The boss of Skyton Corporation is a man named Skr.


    He is my high school ssmate''s fiancee. In high school, he was two years senior. They were always


    together and they looked like a great match. The entire grade was jealous of them. "


    When Xenia talked about this, she was very excited.


    As someone who was born with a silver spoon, it was not surprising that Xenia was Valerie''s


    ssmate.


    However, when Coralie heard this, she could only think of one person, "Is your ssmate Valerie?"


    "Yes. How did you know? Do all the subsidiarypanies under Skyton Corporation know this?"


    Xenia did not think much about this, and she would not have guessed that Coralie and Skr were now


    a couple.


    "Yes, I know about this."Coralie answered.


    Coralie lowered her head and drank the plum juice. For a moment, she didn''t know what to say.


    "I heard from my ssmates that the two of them had nned to get married after graduating from


    college. However, for some unknown reasons, Valerie suddenly went abroad when she was in her


    second year. It was rumored that she had done something wrong. In order to protect her, the family


    sent her abroad."


    Xenia was rattling on.


    "Then... how was her rtionship with Skr?"


    Coralie listened to Xenia''s words, but she still wanted to confirm this, so she could lose hope and give


    up.


    "Valerie likes Skr very much, and vice versa. When we were in our second year of high school,


    Skr was in college. Valerie always talked about Skr. Sometimes, she could be happy for the rest


    of the day if Skr told her that he would pick her up from school."


    Xenia recalled the events of the past as she spoke.


    After listening to this, Coralie was sure that they were two people who loved each other.


    "Yes, they''re from the same family background, and they''re childhood sweethearts. They''re the best


    match."Xenia said.


    Coralie seemed supportive of this, but in her heart, she felt very bitter.


    Coralie suffered for a long time after what Lillian Ford had said to her in college. At that time, she even


    hoped that she could be a daughter of a rich family, so that she could be Skr''s equal.


    However, she had to remind herself that Skr had helped to pay for her mother and brother''s medical


    expenses, which had helped her a lot. She could not ask for more money. She should just focus on


    fulfilling her duties.


    "They are the best. People like me, who don''t even have childhood sweethearts, will be miserable. I


    might one day be sent by my parents to marry some unknown rich kid."


    Xenia ate some meat and let out a long sigh.


    "Don''t make it sound like an arranged marriage from ancient times. He might turn out to be a nice


    person."


    Coralie tried not to show her sadness as much as possible. She lowered her head and said this in the


    most lively tone she could.


    "No one is that lucky in this world. Even if he is nice, it will be useless if i don''t like him!" Xenia pouted


    and felt depressed.


    "Then, you can still try."Coralie said.


    "You can''t just try!" As Xenia said this, she thought of something important. "By the way, Valerie is in


    our alumni chat group. Her disy picture is a portrait photo! Do you want to see it?"
