Chapter 1130 Panic
The beautiful woman nodded without looking up.
Then, Kennedy turned and walked over to Cecilia, smiled, nodded, and then exited the pavilion.
Cecilia's eyes were fixed on Skylar, who was sitting in the chair brewing tea. She could hardly believe that Skylar was Victoria, the heiress of Tate Corporation and the socialite of Maple Valley.
Cecilia felt a bit at a loss; she was here to interview Skylar about her love life.
It was absurd. She wanted to cut ties with Daryl, but by a twist of fate, she got involved again.
But now, it was too late to back out.
"Please sit down, the tea will be ready soon," Skylar's sweet voice rang in Cecilia's ears.
With no other choice, Cecilia sat down in a chair opposite Skylar.
At this moment, Skylar looked up and saw Cecilia, a ripple of surprise in her eyes.
"Cecilia? Is that you?" Skylar asked in astonishment.
Seeing Skylar's surprised expression, Cecilia smiled and said, "Skylar, I didn't expect Victoria to be you."
Cecilia scrutinized Skylar. Today, she was wearing a green dress and a jade bracelet, her entire outfit and demeanor perfectly blending with the surroundings to form a beautiful picture.
"Tell me, when did you return to the country? Why didn't you contact me when you got back? Are you working at Vogue Vista now?" Skylar was much more enthusiastic compared to Cecilia's calm demeanor.
"I've been back for a month, just started working at Vogue Vista, and now I'm here to interview you," Cecilia said self-deprecatingly.
At this moment, Cecilia's heart was far from calm, completely at odds with her composed exterior.
If she had known Victoria was Skylar, she didn't know whether she would seize this opportunity to secure her position by interviewing Skylar.
Cecilia's mind was in turmoil, and she was very anxious about the upcoming topics, as some questions involved Skylar's fiancé, Daryl.
At this moment, Skylar smiled and said, "If I had known it was you, I would have arranged the interview at my home, and you could have tasted my family chef's cooking."
"I didn't expect it to be you either," Cecilia replied.
The next moment, Skylar smiled and placed a cup of tea in front of Cecilia. "Try the tea I made."
"Thank you," Cecilia said, then took out her work materials. "Skylar, shall we begin?"
Kennedy had said Skylar only had an hour, so she had to complete the interview within that time.
"Alright," Skylar said, resting her chin on her hand and looking at Cecilia.
Cecilia took out the prepared questions and began asking them one by one, and Skylar answered each one.
After the routine questions, it was time for questions about Skylar and her fiancé. Seeing these questions, Cecilia felt tense.
Seeing Cecilia looking down and silent for a long time, Skylar smiled and said, "Give me the question sheet, I'll read them myself."
"Okay," Cecilia said, handing the question sheet to Skylar.
Skylar glanced at it and smiled. "The next questions are all about me and Daryl. I like these questions."
Hearing this, Cecilia's lips tightened, feeling very uncomfortable inside.
Then, Skylar began to speak, "Daryl and I grew up together. We have many childhood stories. Let me tell you a few, and you can see if you can include them in the article."
"Sure," Cecilia said, picking up her pen to take notes.
As she took notes, Cecilia felt an overwhelming sadness, and her hand holding the pen felt stiff.
Skylar described her and Daryl's childhood in great detail, filling Cecilia with mixed emotions, but she had to write it all down.
After finally finishing the childhood stories, Skylar suddenly said to Cecilia, "Cecilia, Daryl and I are getting married next month!"
Hearing this, Cecilia stared blankly at Skylar.
Cecilia knew Skylar and Daryl were engaged, but she hadn't expected them to get married so soon.
Cecilia felt her smile becoming stiff, but she still had to try to smile. "Congratulations!"
Skylar's face was filled with a happy smile. "Cecilia, you promised me something, you can't go back on your word."
Hearing this, Cecilia's mind went blank. "What did I promise you?"
Seeing Cecilia's expression, Skylar frowned and said, "I knew you forgot. You promised to be my bridesmaid. You must keep your promise!"
Hearing this, Cecilia felt a pang of anxiety.
Listening to Skylar talk about her and Daryl's stories was already unbearable, let alone being her bridesmaid. She might faint at the wedding.
So, the next moment, Cecilia said with a troubled expression, "Skylar, I don't think I'm suitable to be your bridesmaid. How about..."
"You're my best friend, how could you not be suitable? You're the perfect choice!" Skylar interrupted.
Cecilia said, "Skylar, you and Mr. Fields come from prestigious families. The groomsmen and bridesmaids should be from your social circle. My status really doesn't fit."
Actually, Cecilia was telling the truth.
Cecilia didn't understand why Skylar insisted on her being the bridesmaid. Skylar, as a socialite, surely had other socialite friends.
"It's okay. I just think you fit!" Skylar said urgently.
"Skylar." Cecilia frowned.
"Cecilia, I consider you my best friend. I want you by my side at the most important moment of my life," Skylar said, reaching out to hold Cecilia's hand.
Facing Skylar's sincere eyes, Cecilia couldn't refuse and could only nod.
Seeing Cecilia nod, Skylar said happily, "Cecilia, you agreed?"
"Yes," Cecilia had no choice but to respond.
However, at this moment, she felt very helpless. Being Skylar's bridesmaid would surely be a torment for her.
Just then, Kennedy suddenly came in and said to Skylar, "Ms. Tate, Mr. Fields will be here soon."
Hearing this, Cecilia looked up at Kennedy.
For a moment, Cecilia's heart was in chaos.
Hearing this, Skylar smiled and said, "I know. Also, cancel all my appointments for today. I want to spend the day catching up with my friend."
"Okay." Kennedy nodded and left.
At this moment, Cecilia began to pack up her interview materials and said with a smile, "Skylar, I'm sorry, but I have to go back and write the article. I can't stay with you."
