You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) -
Chapter 63
Skylar Holland grabbed Coralie Chariott's hand and looked at her. After a long period of time, he said, "I'll have the driver take you to the shop to choose an evening gown." "Okay."
Coralie lowered her eyes. She thought that Skylar would accompany her, but after thinking about the matter, she thought that Skylar was probably accompanying Valerie Rae. "Remember to put on make up. Don't disgrace me."
Skylar let go of Coralie's wrist and left in a resentful manner.
Coralie stood in the same place and looked on as he walked away. She felt disappointed.
She felt that she might have a masochistic tendency. Otherwise, why didn't she leave when Skylar was nagging at her?
Coralie asked the manager for leave. When she went down, Skylar had prepared a black car for her and she was sent directly to the S-brand flagship store.
Everyone knew who Coralie was since she had been here with Skylar before. Without saying a word, the store assistants rushed to her immediately.
The manager came over and spoke to Coralie, "Miss Chariott, President Holland ordered a dress for you. Please come with me."
"He ordered it for me?"
Coralie did not understand what the manager meant.
"Yes, this dress is from the latest winter collection, and it is a limited edition. President Holland was worried that it might be out of stock, so he booked it for you a month ago." While the manager was talking, an assistant took the dress out of the warehouse.
It was a dark blue dress. There were layers of tulle over the long dress, with bright sequins and rhinestones on it. The dress looked like a starry night, shiny and beautiful.
Coralie looked at the dress and she was in awe. "It's really beautiful."
"This dress is called the Galaxy, it was sold out once it was released. To tell you the truth, this is the only piece in A city. If you see a second one, if it is not brought back from abroad, it must be fake," The manager said confidently.
Subsequently, the makeup artist and the manager helped Coralie to change her clothes. The most unique part of this dress was not only the hemline but also the sleeves. It looked like a starry cloud, which swayed along with the movements.
After putting on the gown, the makeup artist did a very delicate makeup for Coralie.
When everything was done, Coralie looked at herself in the mirror and the first word that crossed her mind was-
Rebirth.
It seemed as if she were a completely different person.
"Miss Chariott is so beautiful."
The makeup artist and manager exclaimed in admiration at the same time.
"It's the dress and the makeup. I'm not that beautiful."
Coralie looked at herself in the mirror. On the contrary, she felt ashamed of herself. She didn't even think that the beautiful woman in the mirror was herself.
She had never put on such exquisite makeup before.
At this moment, she seemed like Cinderella, but unfortunately, there was no prince waiting for her.
"Miss Chariott, the dress and makeup are just the icing on the cake. A good foundation is more important,"
The makeup artist explained as this was the second time she had put on makeup for Coralie. She knew what was the perfect makeup for her.
"And this scarf, put it on first. When you arrive at the venue, you can take it off."
The manager took a white scarf for Coralie.
As the manager accompanied Coralie to open the door of the dressing room, they heard a loud noise in the hall.
"This dress was never worn before. Why don't you let me return it?"
It was a man's voice.
"Sir, this dress was bought a long time ago. We would accept it if you had returned it sooner,"
The assistant explained politely.
"When I went to the department store, the storekeeper said that I could return them here. Now, you're not accepting it. What is this nonsense?" The man said angrily.
Coralie looked over and saw that it was Howard Schultz. He was arguing with the shop assistant while holding a white gown.
"Manager, you finally came out. Please explain to this gentleman about our policies." A shop assistant saw the manager coming out and quickly came over. "This gentleman bought a dress over a month ago and he wants to return it now."
When Howard heard that this was the manager, he followed her. "You are the manager? That's great. My wife bought this dress in a rush and didn't wear it even once. Look at us, we are ordinary people. This dress cost 100,000 dollars, and it is equivalent to my monthly salary. Can you do me a favor?"
Howard came over. At first glance, he didn't recognize Coralie, so he tried to gain some sympathy from the manager.
After all, Alison Herman didn't wear this dress except for the time that she had tried it on.
Of course, Howard had been determined to get a refund since the beginning, so he didn't allow her to wear it.
"Sir, you've bought this dress such a long time ago. We can't do anything about it..."
"Why are you doing this? It's fine you earn money from rich people, but what's the point of earning money from ordinary people like us? I truly despise people like you who bully ordinary people." When Howard heard that the manager was going to refuse, he immediately complained about her, as if he had morphed into a completely different person.
Coralie looked at Howard with a stiff expression. After all, she had lived with this man for three years. She didn't expect that after the divorce less than a few months ago, he had become so petty.
"Miss Chariott, sorry for the disturbance. Please wait for me to deal with this matter."
Seeing that Howard didn't want to leave, the manager apologized to Coralie first.
After she apologized, Howard finally noticed the beautiful woman beside the manager. Just now, he had thought that she was just a model, so he didn't think much about it. But now, he saw that the woman standing next to him was actually Coralie!
"Coralie?"
Howard was in a shock and he couldn't react.
When he was in college, he certainly knew that Coralie was a beautiful woman. But today, Coralie was different, very different. Her makeup was on point, which displayed her beauty. "Howard, long time no see."
Coralie looked at Howard with an indifferent expression. She felt very disappointed with his transformation.
When Howard saw that Coralie was so beautiful, he felt a little sorry when he thought of what he had done just now. For a moment, he didn't even want the refund.
"Is this gentleman a friend of Miss Chariott?" The manager was a little surprised.
"Ah, we are acquaintances." Coralie didn't know how to explain her relationship with Howard.
"Perhaps..."
"Since this gentleman is Miss Chariott's friend, this dress can certainly be refunded." When the manager heard that he was Coralie's friend, she immediately changed her attitude and even used honorifics. She took the dress in Howard's hand and apologized repeatedly. "I'm really sorry to have troubled you. I'll ask the assistant to give you a refund."
Seeing the manager's attitude, Howard looked at Coralie suspiciously.
