Chapter 1132 Entanglement
Upon hearing this, Cecilia couldn't bear it any longer and lowered her voice, saying, "Believe it or not!"
Then she stared at Daryl with an indifferent look.
"Are you threatening me?" Daryl's eyes glared at Cecilia menacingly.
"How dare I threaten you? I know that you could ruin me easily. Let me reiterate, I never want to get involved between you and Skylar, so you'd better convince her to drop the idea of making me a bridesmaid. I would be very grateful!" Although Cecilia disdained explaining, she still did because she really didn't want to get involved in this mess.
Hearing this, Daryl frowned and stared sharply at Cecilia. "You better be, or I'll definitely make trouble for you!"
The next moment, Daryl released Cecilia's wrist.
Once freed, Cecilia felt a wave of nausea and quickly covered her mouth, running to the railing to vomit.
Seeing Cecilia's discomfort, Daryl frowned.
Then, Daryl got up and walked behind Cecilia, his eyes darkening.
After throwing up a bit of bile, Cecilia felt much better.
When Cecilia turned around and saw Daryl's probing eyes, she lowered her head, feeling a panic inside.
"What's wrong with you?" Daryl's eyes were fixed on Cecilia.
"My stomach has been upset these past few days," Cecilia replied, looking down.
"Really?" Daryl's eyes were filled with distrust.
Cecilia met Daryl's gaze and retorted, "Do I need to lie to you?"
In fact, Cecilia was very flustered at this moment. She didn't want Daryl to know about the kid.
First, she feared that if he knew about it, he would force her to have an abortion, especially since he was about to get married and wouldn't want her to have an illegitimate child. Second, she didn't want to have any more entanglements with Daryl.
Hearing this, Daryl's mouth twitched.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Cecilia knew it was Skylar back, so she quickly went to sit in the chair she had been sitting in earlier.
The next moment, Skylar walked in with a smile, holding her phone.
"Daryl, my mom called to ask when we're going to take our wedding photos," Skylar said with a smile, sitting next to Daryl.
"Up to you." At this moment, Daryl was already sitting in the chair he had been in earlier, holding a teacup.
"How about we go tomorrow?" Skylar's eyes were only on Daryl.
"Okay." Daryl nodded.
Hearing their conversation, Cecilia looked down at the tea in her cup, thinking of an excuse to leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Skylar said to Cecilia, "Cecilia, Daryl and I are going to take our wedding photos tomorrow. Why don't you come and try on the bridesmaid dress?"
Hearing this, Cecilia looked up in horror.
Cecilia didn't know how to refuse, so she glanced at Daryl.
At this moment, Daryl smiled and said to Skylar, "Skylar, tomorrow is a workday. Don't delay Ms. Thorne's work. After we finish taking the wedding photos, we'll need to try on the dresses anyway. Why not have Ms. Thorne come then?"
Hearing this, Skylar nodded. "Alright."
Hearing that she didn't have to go for the wedding photos tomorrow, Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Cecilia said, "Skylar, it's getting late. I should be going."
"Didn't we agree to have dinner together tonight?? Although this is a tea house, they also serve dinner, and the food is quite good," Skylar said enthusiastically.
Cecilia glanced at Daryl but politely declined. "Tonight is your and Mr. Fields' time together. I don't want to intrude."
With that, Cecilia picked up her bag and stood up.
Hearing this, Skylar smiled and said, "Since you say so, I won't keep you. Next time, you must have dinner with me. No more excuses."
"Alright, I'm leaving now!" Cecilia waved at Skylar.
"Bye-bye." Skylar waved back at Cecilia.
After leaving the Riverside Tea Lounge, Cecilia saw Arabella and Kennedy sitting on chairs, chatting and having tea and snacks.
Seeing Cecilia come out, Kennedy stood up first. "Ms. Thorne, is the interview over?"
"Yes. Thank you, Ms. Hope. We'll be leaving now," Cecilia nodded.
"Then I won't see you off," Kennedy said with a smile.
Then, Cecilia and Arabella walked out of the Riverside Tea Lounge.
As soon as they left, Arabella started chattering, "Well, a socialite's life is indeed unique. I've never had those snacks and tea before. Today was an eye-opener."
Hearing Arabella's chatter, Cecilia shook her head and smiled.
Indeed, Daryl and Skylar were the same kind of people, while she and Daryl were from completely different worlds. Even if they loved each other, they could never be together in the end.
Cecilia returned to the magazine office full of thoughts and sat in front of her computer, taking a deep breath.
She knew she had to put her heart and soul into writing this interview article. She needed to secure her position because she and her child still had to make a living, and she had no other options.
Then, Cecilia sat in front of her computer and started writing the article.
Two days and nights later, Cecilia finally finished checking the article over and over again and handed it to Calista.
Cecilia thought Calista would find many faults and make her revise it.
However, to Cecilia's surprise, Calista said her article was perfect and needed no improvements.
Then, under Calista's instructions, Cecilia sent the article to Kennedy via email. Soon, Cecilia received a reply from Kennedy, saying that Skylar was very satisfied with it and that it could be published in the magazine as it was.
Seeing Kennedy's reply, Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief but felt a mix of emotions inside.
Looking at the love story described in the article, Cecilia felt a bit sad.
She never thought that one day she would use words to describe the love between Daryl and Skylar.
That night, after nightfall, Cecilia finally walked out of the office building.
"Cecilia!" Hearing someone call her, Cecilia looked up and saw Barry standing in front of her.
"Barry? What are you doing here?" Cecilia asked in surprise.
"I've been waiting for you for an hour. I heard from someone at the magazine that you were working late, so I didn't dare to go up and disturb you. I waited here," Barry said with a smile.
Hearing this, Cecilia felt guilty and thought, 'What's the point of him doing that? I can't give him anything.'
