Chapter 84
As it was Skylar's office, Coralie did not sleep very well. At six o'clock, she woke up and got up quietly
to wash up.
Coralie stood in front of the mirror. She looked at her straight black hair, thinking of the curly hair under
the pillow yesterday. She tried to comfort herself. Perhaps Valerie Rae had just taken a break here.
She took a bath, tied her hair up, and used some of Skylar's facial wash.
When she walked out of the bathroom, Skylar had already woken up. "There is breakfast in the
restaurant on the second floor."
"Okay," Coralie responded. She didn't want to say anything at first, but she still said, "I'll go down first."
Then, she fled.
Staying in that room, Coralie couldn't help but feel suspicious, but she didn't even dare to question him.
After all, even if she asked him about this, it wouldn't solve anything.
There were two elevators by the stairs. She saw that the elevator that they got on yesterday was
already at the top floor, so she pressed the button.
When the elevator door opened, Coralie walked in.
At this moment, the door of the elevator beside her also opened, and Skylar's secretary came out. She
saw that someone was using the elevator next to her, so she took a look before the door closed. She
saw a woman standing inside.
Although it was only a quick glance, she could see clearly that Coralie was not wearing any makeup,
and perhaps Coralie didn't apply any lipstick. Her hair seemed to be a little messy, and a little wet, as if
she had just taken a shower.
Coralie did not know that many colleagues were walking up the stairs when she took the elevator to the
restaurant on the second floor. When they saw Coralie coming out of the elevator, their expressions
were completely baffled.
As for this, Coralie did not find anything unusual at that time, but she went to the restaurant naturally.
After breakfast, she entered the office.
The woman sitting at the door said loudly, "It's different to have someone's support."
Coralie glanced at the woman. She heard Felicia's introduction yesterday. This woman was called
Joanna Thomas. She was an experienced employee in the finance department. No one dared to
provoke her.
Coralie didn't know who Joanna was talking about, so she ignored her and walked to her desk.
Joanna noticed that Coralie did not respond to her, so she picked up a cup of coffee, a stack of
receipts, and walked to Coralie's desk. She threw the stack of receipts on her table and said in a NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
strange tone, "Check all of these and finish the accounts today."
"Okay."
Since it was her first day at work yesterday, no one had arranged for her to do anything yet, so she had
time to familiarize herself with the software. However, today was the second day. It was time for her to
work like everyone else.
She looked carefully at the pile of receipts that Joanna had put on the table. Although they were divided
according to departments and there were corresponding details, they were not verified of their
authenticity.
Just as Coralie was checking the receipts carefully, the coffee cup in Joanna's hand fell all of a sudden.
It bounced onto Coralie's arm and fell on the table. Although there was not much coffee left in the cup,
it spilled out.
"It hurts!"
The mug was heavy. The moment it fell onto her arm, Coralie felt that it was going to break her bones.
She couldn't help crying out.
Before she could look at her injury, she saw that the coffee had already spilled onto some of the
receipts. She picked up the receipts quickly and wiped them clean.
Joanna was watching her as she did this. She looked at Coralie with a gloating expression. "Oh, I'm
sorry. I lost my grip."
Then, she left with the mug.
Everyone around her was watching this scene, but they didn't dare to say a word.
Coralie endured the pain in her arms and ignored her. She wiped the table quickly and then began to
check the receipts.
This time, Coralie was really lucky. The receipts that were stained with coffee were all secondary
receipts. As all the primary receipts were on the top pile, they all escaped from the disaster.
It took her a whole morning to clean up all the receipts, wipe them, and sort them out.
"It's time for lunch. Let's continue after lunch." Felicia came to call Coralie.
Coralie realized that it was already noon then. "Okay, I'll clean up here. Wait for me for a minute. Thank
you."
She put the receipts back and got up to go to the canteen with Felicia.
After the two of them chose their meals, they found a table in the corner and sat down. Felicia said,
"Sorry, I didn't help you this morning."
"What?"
"In fact, no one dares to offend Joanna, especially me. In fact, I have only been in Skyton Corporation
for one year. I'm also a newcomer. I hope you understand."
Felicia was totally apologetic. 'I hope you understand' seemed like her catch phrase.
Hearing Felicia's apology, Coralie shook her head and smiled. "It's okay. I understand. I've finished
dealing with the receipts."
"Good. Although Joanna is experienced, she is not a high-ranking employee. We are all at the same
level." Seeing that Coralie was so easy to talk to, Felicia started to talk more. "However, Joanna has an
older sister called Lorraine Thomas. Although they are only two years apart, Lorraine is much better
than her. She graduated from an Ivy League University. It is said that she is proficient in several foreign
languages and has an amazing memory."
"I see."
Coralie looked at her. Since Felicia had spent so much time talking about Lorraine, she was probably in
the company as well, and her position was probably not low.
"Lorraine is the chief secretary for the president. She has a strong work ethic and is considered
beautiful. She is one of the rising stars in the company. We allow Joanna to have her way because of
Lorraine."
Felicia said all of this with an expression of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"The chief secretary?"
"Yes, in a big company like Skyton Corporation, Director Holland has a group of secretaries. They are
in charge of different things. In short, Lorraine is the head of the group. All the secretaries have to
report to Lorraine first."
After listening to Felicia's explanation, Coralie felt rather incredulous.
Not only did Skylar have a secretary, but he had a group of them!
"Group of secretaries..."
As Coralie muttered to herself, there was a commotion in the restaurant.
Somehow, the staff members who were eating all stood up.
Coralie looked in the direction of the crowd and saw Skylar in a suit. He had just entered the canteen
and was picking up food with a plate.
The colleagues around were shocked.
"Pres.. President Holland!"
Felicia looked at Skylar, and she seemed infatuated with him.
Coralie felt a little guilty. She did not dare to look up, as she was afraid that Skylar would see her and
come over.
"Hey, you haven't seen President Holland yet, have you? That's him. Even though we work here, we
don't see him every day."
Seeing that Coralie was still eating, Felicia shook her arm desperately.
Coralie looked up helplessly.
She didn't know if it was a coincidence. When she looked at Skylar, she found that Skylar was also
looking at her.
