Chapter 93
Coralie took out her cell phone. She wanted to use the navigation system, but the signal was becoming
worse as she went further. In the end, it was difficult for her to even get a connection for the navigation
system.
She looked at the road down the hill and she wanted to turn back, but when she looked forward, it
seemed that she would be there soon.
According to Joanna, this village was called Village Y, and the ex-employee who owed the company
money was called Connor Taylor. In fact, Coralie thought that this village might be Connor's hometown,
but he might not be at home as he was working outstation.
However, now that she was here, she had to go and have a look.
Coralie walked all the way up the mountain and she finally saw a place that looked like a village. She
saw that there were no numbers or addresses on the houses, so she had to ask someone from one of
the houses first.
An elderly woman opened the door.
Coralie asked, "Auntie, may I ask where is house number 31, Connor Taylor's house?"
"Sorry?"
It seemed that the woman's hearing was not very good. After Coralie asked her this, she didn't seem to
hear her clearly.
Coralie had no choice but to show the paper that Joanna had given her. She looked at it and waved her
hand. "No, no."
After that, she slammed the door and shut Coralie out.
Coralie didn't understand what the woman meant. Didn't she know this person?
Helplessly, she found another house next to her. This time, it was a middle-aged man who opened the
door.
"Uncle, may I ask where is Connor's house? House number 31?"
Coralie asked.
"Connor..." The middle-aged man didn't seem to want to say anything at first, but he looked Coralie. A
woman had come to such a remote place on her own. He looked behind her. It seemed that there was
no one else, so he said, "That guy has moved away a long time ago. He owed people a lot of money, Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
and the creditors came to look for him every day. He moved away because he had no other choice."
"He moved away..." Coralie frowned. "Do you know where he moved to?"
"How would I know?"
"Thank you."
Coralie took a few steps back. She was helpless. It seemed that she was destined to return empty
handed today.
The middle-aged man stood behind Coralie and looked at her. Although she was wearing a coat, she
wore only thin socks and she didn't put on proper winter boots. He reminded her in a kind manner from
behind, "Young lady, look at the weather. It's going to snow heavily. You should go down the mountain
quickly. You might not be able to go down later."
Coralie looked up at the sky. Like how he said, the sky was getting darker and the weather seemed to
be getting worse.
"Thank you. I'm going down the mountain right now."
She thanked him and walked down the mountain.
Not only was this place old and remote, the phone signal was really bad. Coralie took a look at her cell
phone, and there was no signal at all.
She gave up the idea of calling Skylar, so she had to put the cell phone back into her bag and rushed
to the bus station.
At the bus stop, it was written that the last bus would be at 5.30 p.m. It was 4 o'clock. If she walked
faster, she should be able to catch the last bus.
Coralie jogged slowly toward the bus stop. In the snow, her feet were already frozen because of her
thin shoes. She hurried to the bus station. She thought of getting a ride home and taking a hot bath
immediately.
However, when she finally arrived at the bus station and took a look at the road, there were no buses or
even cars. This was indeed a remote place.
Coralie kept walking around the bus stop and stomping her feet to keep herself warm. After waiting for
another hour, she still didn't see any bus. Then, she realized that it might be snowing heavily, and
perhaps the last bus was canceled.
......
At this time, at Skyton Corporation, it was already after half past six. Skylar called Coralie's cell phone
and he wanted to ask when she would leave, but no matter how many times he called her, she was not
in the service area.
He had no choice but to go to the finance department on the sixth floor to have a look.
Skyton Corporation's official working hours ended at 5:30 p.m. At this time, all the employees that were
still in the office were working overtime.
When Skylar went downstairs, Felicia York was the only person in the whole finance department who
hadn't left yet.
Felicia was busy with work when someone came in. She raised her head and saw Skylar coming in. He
was dressed in a black suit and his figure was slender and straight. His hair was styled, which made
him look a little fierce.
Skylar was looking directly at Coralie's seat. Felicia quickly stood up and asked, "President Holland,
are you looking for Coralie?"
Hearing this question, Skylar noticed that there was someone working overtime there. Skylar asked,
"How did you know that I came to find her?"
Hearing this, Felicia hesitated for a moment, but she didn't say what Joanna had mentioned in the
office before. Instead, she said, "Coralie and I have a good relationship. I overheard her mentioning
about you."
"Really?" Skylar lowered his eyes and asked, "Where is she?"
"Coralie... There was a loan that was not returned by a former employee. She went to ask for the
money," Felicia said cautiously.
As the loan involved a lot of money, Skylar probably knew about this.
Hearing this, Skylar frowned and his face turned pale. "Where did she go to ask for the money?"
At that time, the financial department had thought of many ways to get the money back, but they all
failed in the end. Now, Coralie was sent to settle this matter on her own? Wasn't it making things
difficult for her?
"She went to Village Y..."
Felicia whispered, because she had already felt that Skylar was angry when he heard that Coralie had
gone to ask for the money. His fury was obvious.
Skylar glanced out of the window. It was dark and the snow had begun to fall. Village Y was in the
suburbs of A City. On the mountains, it was very cold and the traffic was not convenient.
Coralie had gone to that kind of place alone, and it was very likely that she would be trapped in this
kind of weather.
Thinking of this, Skylar thanked Felicia, turned around and went out of the finance department.
Felicia stood there. She thought that Skylar's expression was so serious and anxious when he found
out that Coralie had gone to Village Y. She also realized that Joanna was telling the truth, in regards to
the connection between Coralie and Skylar.
From her point of view, they seemed like a couple, instead of just lovers, like how Joanna mentioned.
After Skylar arrived at the underground parking lot, he saw that Dominic West's SUV was parked
beside his car. He immediately dialed Dominic's number. "Dom, lend me your car. I'll wait for you at the
parking lot."
After that, he hung up the phone without saying anything.
When Dominic brought the key down, he asked casually, "What's wrong? You seem to be in a hurry."
Skylar opened the car door and said, "Go back and ask the personnel of your finance department. Who
asked my people to ask Connor for the loan?"
After that, he got in the car and drove out of the parking lot.
Dominic stood there and thought about Skylar's words just now. He had a curious expression. "His
people? Did he finally get a girlfriend?"
