Chapter 164


    How far could she go?


    In fact, Coralie Chariott herself didn''t know. Shecked working experience and she had forgotten most


    of her French.


    However, her family background was the gap between her and Skr Hond. If she could close the


    gap by working hard, she would be very much willing to do so.


    Anthony Hond sensed Coralie''s hesitation and said, "I''ll give you three days to think about it. Give


    me an answer after three days."


    ......


    After Anthony left, Coralie left the warehouse to look for someone to discuss this matter.


    She did not have any friends who were an expert in career matters. Therefore, she had no choice but


    to meet Xenia Lowell. It was not because Xenia knew much about developing one''s career, but


    because her family was running apany. Perhaps, she might know something about upskilling an


    employee.


    Xenia''s new office was in a high-end office building in the city center, but she would get off workter

    than usual.


    Since Coralie had arrived ahead of schedule, she wandered around the shopping mall that was next to


    Xenia''s office.


    When she saw a men''s clothing store, Coralie remembered that Skr''s birthday was in a few days.


    She didn''t prepare any gifts for Skrst year. At that time, she had promised to give him one this


    year.


    When Coralie walked in, a beautiful shop assistant came over and greeted her with a smile, "Wee,


    may I help you?"


    “I''m just looking around."


    In fact, Coralie didn''t know what she wanted to buy for Skr. She used to give gifts to Skr when


    they were in school. But now, she thought that those were just childish gifts.


    In the past, she had only bought a few simple gifts for Howard Schultz due to her economic


    circumstances.


    Thinking about it, it seemed that she had never given a decent gift to a man.


    The shop assistant followed Coralie around and introduced, "May I ask how old is the person you''re


    shopping for? Is he your husband? Father?"


    Coralie thought for a moment and answered, "Husband..."


    Even though she and Skr had such an unclear rtionship, they were still legally husband and wife.


    After all, they hadn''t obtained their divorce certificate yet.


    "For your husband? Do you have a budget in mind? We sell belts, ties, wallets, and even key cases for


    a cheaper option."


    The shop assistant kept introducing their merchandise and then brought various products for Coralie to


    choose from. The price varied from hundreds to thousands.


    Nothing seemed to catch her eye.


    Until her eyes fell on a pair of cufflinks that were on the counter.


    "That is..."


    Coralie pointed to the pair of cufflinks. She remembered that Skr used cufflinks all the time, but the


    styles were almost the same most of the time.


    The pair of cufflinks were in his favorite shade of blue. They were rectangr, and there was a small


    diamond in the corner. The style was simple and elegant.


    "This is our ssic cufflinks, and they are encrusted with sapphire."


    "How much is it?"


    In fact, that was what Coralie was most concerned about.


    When she heard that it was encrusted with sapphire, her heart had already sunk.


    "5,800 dors for a pair."


    "Is there any wiggle room on that price?"


    The shop assistant put the pair of cufflinks in front of her, and Coralie liked them very much. She was


    sure that Skr would definitely appreciate them too.


    However, Coralie gasped after hearing its price. Five thousand and eight hundred dors. It cost more


    than her one-month sry.


    "I’m sorry, we aren''t able to give a discount on this item. This pair of cufflinks is a limited edition. This is


    the only pair in the store, and they have just arrived."


    The shop assistant stood aside and exined.


    Coralie reached into her bag and stroked the ck card which Skr had given to her. In fact, she had


    not much money left. She could only buy it with the card.


    At this moment, a middle-aged woman came over. She pointed to the pair of cufflinks and said, "Do you


    want them? I''ll take it if you don''t want them."


    Hearing this, Coralie immediately put the pair of cufflinks in front of herself and nodded animatedly, "I


    want them."


    Coralie had intended to look around the shop to see if there was anything else that she could afford,


    but now, another customer was eyeing it. The more Coralie looked at it, the more she felt that the pair


    of cufflinks were the perfect gift.


    In addition, the shop assistant had just said that they were the only pair in the store. If it was gone, she


    would definitely regret it.


    "Are you sure?"


    The shop assistant asked Coralie, who was hesitating just now. She wanted to confirm it because she


    was afraid of losing the business.


    Moreover, Coralie looked like an ordinary shopper. She didn''t look like a person who would spend


    around six thousand dors just to buy a pair of cufflinks


    "I''ll take it. I''ll pay for it now."


    Coralie said as she took out the ck card that Skr had given to her.


    "Okay, this way please."


    After Coralie paid the bill, the shop assistant allowed Coralie to check the pair of cufflinks. Then, she


    packed them.


    Because it was a gift, the shop assistant kindly prepared a gift box for her, which looked more high-end


    and ssy.


    ......


    After buying the gift, Coralie walked out with satisfaction. As soon as she went out, her phone rang.


    She lowered her head and beamed at the name on the screen.


    It was from Skr.


    "Skr."


    Coralie answered the phone cheerily.


    "What happened? Why are you so happy?"


    Skr could tell that she was in a good mood just from her voice.


    Coralie looked at the gift box in her hand. After thinking for a while, she said, "I won''t tell you."


    She wanted to give him a surprise. Even if she had to move to B City in the future, she hoped that


    Skr could think of her whenever he sees the gift.


    Skr did not probe into it but said, "Pleasee home tonight."


    "Why?"


    "Well, I just got discharged from the hospital. I want to see you."


    Skr didn''t hide his yearning for Coralie. After all, they were a married couple byw. Even if it was


    harmful to the development of the Hond group and could potentially jeopardize the rtionship


    between the Hond group and the Rae Group, there was no need to hide their rtionship.


    Coralie could feel her face blushing. She thought for a moment and said, "I promised Xenia to have


    dinner with her tonight. Is it alright if Ie over after that?"


    In fact, Coralie wanted to talk to Skr about the matter. She had nned to contact him after having


    dinner with Xenia.


    Well, she might as well agree since Skr had said that he missed her.


    "Okay, send me the addresster. I''ll pick you up once you''re done with dinner."


    "It''s okay. Your injury hasn''t healed yet."


    Coralie felt bad when she thought of Skr''s injury.


    However, the man was persistent, "Don''t worry about it. Just send me the addresster.


    "Alright."


    Coralie nodded with the gift in her arms. She knew Skr well. He was a man of his words.


    "Coralie! Sorry I''mte!"


    Coralie had just hung up. When she arrived at the door of the shopping mall, she saw Xenia rushing


    over with a Chanel bag in her hand.


    When Xenia saw the shopping bag in Coralie''s hand, she smiled and said, "Let me guess who you


    bought this gift for."
