Chapter 464
Luke was sweating as he heard this. Even if the price was increased by 300 percent, it would not be
enough, and Skylar had made it sound like he was being generous by adding on the extra 10 percent.
He seemed to have realized something, and asked, "President Holland, do you know Coralie in
person?"
"What do you think?"
Upon hearing his question, Skylar put down the cup of coffee and crossed his legs. He looked sharply
into Luke's eyes.
"I didn't know that Coralie was your friend." Luke had finally understood the situation and said, "If she is
not satisfied with the salary, she can discuss it with me herself. I will definitely pay her according to the
appropriate market price. There is no need to bother you, President Holland."
"She's my wife."
"Thud..."
Luke's hands trembled as he heard this, and the translated documents in his hands fell to the ground.
"Oh, she's your wife. Huh, I really didn't expect this..."
Luke's heart quivered.
He could never have imagined that the husband with good French that Coralie had mentioned before,
was Skyton Corporation's boss!
Skylar glanced at his watch. He had wasted too much time here. He then quickly said, "I'm here to
inform you two things."
"Please go ahead."
"First, you have to pay according to the translation job you gave my wife."
"No problem."
Luke nodded desperately. He would not want to offend Skylar Holland unless he wished to die.
"Second, my wife is now seven months pregnant, so it's not convenient for her to work recently. Hence,
in the upcoming year, you can only let her translate one document every month, and the difficulty
should be the simplest."
"I really didn't know that your wife is pregnant, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered her..."
Luke's face was all smiles.
The handling of translation jobs had always been dealt with online, thus he had never seen Coralie, let
alone known that she was pregnant.
Seeing that Luke had agreed, Skylar stood up and tidied up his clothes. He finished, "That's all I
wanted to say, but if we are looking for cooperating with your translating company in the future, I'll get
my assistant to inform you."
"That... That's great! Thank you!"
Luke was so happy as he heard this that his smile widened.
He walked Skylar all the way to the elevator before returning to his office.
He was feeling extremely joyous.
Skyton Corporation's bidding invitation was usually focused on a small scale, and a small company like
his did not even have the qualification to be nominated, not to mention winning the bid.
Luke sat in his office and enjoyed the beautiful scenery before he called Xenia.
Xenia answered the phone very quickly, as she was not working now due to her operation.
"Xenia, you almost made me get into trouble!"
Luke complained as soon as the phone call was connected.
He and Xenia were friends, so he did not watch his words while speaking to her.
"What's wrong?" On the other side of the phone, Xenia was also surprised. Luke was not someone
who would call her casually.
"You tell me what's wrong. Please tell me who is this Coralie whom you've introduced?"
"She's my friend."
Xenia answered naturally.
"You have so many friends, but why didn't you remind me that this friend of yours is someone special? I
almost lost my poor company."
At the thought of this, Luke felt his heart skip a beat.
Even though this was a blessing in disguise, he had only escaped death narrowly.
"Huh? She's not anyone special. She's a good person. Why is she special?"
Xenia thought that Luke was going to bad mouth Coralie, so she couldn't help but want to stand up for
her.
"Yes, yes, she's too good. Why didn't you tell me that her husband is President Holland from Skyton
Corporation? I thought that she didn't have any background, so I took advantage of her for a long
time..."
Luke pouted his lips.
"How did you take advantage of her?"
"Well, I gave her the most difficult documents to be translated, but paid her with the lowest price..."
This was his usual trick that he had used many times. If there was anyone who looked for trouble with
him over this, he would claim that it was training.
He didn't expect it would fail on Coralie this time.
Xenia was excited when she heard this. "Hahaha, are you crazy? Let me tell you, Skylar might be
tolerant about other things, but when it comes to his wife, he's very protective, and he can even ignore
his own mother." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Luke felt his legs go numb. "No way... Why did you introduce such a person to me? You're setting me
up!"
Xenia noticed that Luke sounded like he was almost in tears.
"Hahaha, don't be afraid. It is never too late to admit one's mistakes and improve from it."
"How could I not be afraid? If my company is wiped out, I will live in your house every day!"
"Okay, you're always welcome." Xenia was not worried at all. "I'm actually moving in with my boyfriend
today, so my place is empty right now. You're welcome to take care of my home."
"Your boyfriend? Where did you get yourself a blind man?"
Luke knew Xenia very well. She had always been a little crazy since she was young. He was very
surprised to hear that she had found a boyfriend.
"Pfft! Whoever that lays her eyes on you would be the blind one!" Xenia snapped and ended the call.
When Coralie received the translation fee at noon, she found that it was almost 30,000 dollars.
She was shocked when she saw this and called Luke immediately.
"Mr. Miles, did you accidentally add two more zeros when you transferred the money? Why is the figure
so high? "
It was reasonable to accidentally type one more zero, but how could he be so careless to give two
more zeros?
"You've worked for me for a few months. I figured out that it's about time to transfer you into a regular
worker now. Thus, since you're one now, I'll pay you according to the market price."
Luke dared not say that Skylar had come to look for him, so he could only make up a random excuse.
"That's why you gave me so much at once?"
"Yes, I calculated everything accordingly, and I just heard from Xenia that you are pregnant, right? I will
try to arrange fewer jobs for you as possible in the future. After you give birth, I will arrange the jobs for
you normally again."
Luke was trying his best to please Coralie for now. After all, the future of his small company was
completely dependent on Skylar.
"Well, then thank you Mr. Miles." Coralie did not doubt anything.
"You're most welcome. I've told you that you can just call me Luke. I wish you a successful delivery."
Luke didn't forget to give his blessings before he hung up the phone call.
When Coralie was nine months pregnant, she and Skylar had already decided on the date and location
of the wedding, as well as some details for it.
Lastly, the most important thing was to decide on the style of the wedding dress.
Coralie was nine months pregnant. She had gained so much weight, up to 135 pounds, due to the
amazing cooking skills of all the servants at home. Moreover, her body was quite bloated, so she could
only wear slippers now.
When the designer for the wedding dress arrived at her house, she couldn't help but frown when she
saw Coralie's body. "I'm afraid that it would be difficult to make the most suitable wedding dress unless
we choose an adjustable one."
Usually, a bride's wedding dress was commonly rented and there was usually an adjustable strap at the
back of the dress.
