Chapter 1135 Accident
Cecilia gave Arabella an apologetic look before taking the gift and walking into the VIP room.
As soon as she entered the VIP room, sure enough, Skylar was standing in front of the mirror in a beautiful wedding dress, with two female attendants squatting in front of her, helping to arrange the wide skirt.
Skylar's wedding dress was sexy and beautiful, and the crown and veil on her head made her look even more noble, especially with that happy smile on her face, which was simply enviable.
On the couch in the VIP room sat Daryl, dressed in a black tailcoat, legs crossed, looking somewhat absent-minded.
Cecilia knew Daryl would definitely be there, so she could only ignore him.
"Cecilia, you're here?" It was Skylar who first noticed her and waved enthusiastically at Cecilia.
Seeing the enthusiastic Skylar, Cecilia quickly put on a smile and walked over.
"Skylar, you look beautiful!" Cecilia said sincerely, her eyes fixed on Skylar.
In fact, her heart felt sour at that moment. Seeing Skylar in that pure and beautiful wedding dress, she felt a mix of emotions.
Thinking the man she loved was getting married, and the bride wasn't her, she found it absurd.
"Thank you," Skylar said with a happy smile.
Cecilia naturally didn't want to stay there any longer, so she quickly held out the gift in her hands and said, "Skylar, this is a wedding gift from all of us at Vogue Vista. Although it may not be very valuable, it's a token of our magazine's goodwill. I hope you and Mr. Fields will be happy together forever!"
As she said the last sentence, Cecilia's eyes involuntarily glanced at the couch.
Out of the corner of her eye, Cecilia saw that Daryl was also looking in her direction. Afraid of making eye contact with him, she quickly looked away.
Seeing the gift in Cecilia's hands, Skylar smiled and said to Daryl on the couch, "Daryl, I'm not convenient right now. Can you open the gift for me?"
"Sure." Daryl nodded, then got up and walked over.
As Daryl approached Cecilia, her heart tightened. She handed him the gift, her head slightly lowered, avoiding eye contact.
Daryl glanced at Cecilia, then took the gift and walked over to a table, where he began to unwrap it.
When Daryl opened the box, his brows furrowed.
At this moment, Cecilia stood still, while Skylar smiled and asked, "Daryl, what is it?"
"Well, just a piece of artwork. I'll put it away for you and show it to you later," Daryl said, closing the box.
But Skylar insisted. "What kind of artwork? Let me see it!"
Daryl turned and smiled. "It's just a simple piece of artwork. The value lies in the magazine's goodwill. You should focus on trying on your wedding dress."
At this moment, the two attendants who were helping Skylar with her dress stood up and said with a smile, "Ms. Tate, the dress is ready."
"Thank you. You can go now; I want to chat with my friend," Skylar said with a smile.
"Okay." The two attendants then left the VIP room.
Hearing that Skylar wanted to chat with her, Cecilia felt uneasy. To be honest, she didn't want to stay there at all, but she had to be polite, so she decided to stay and chat with Skylar for a few minutes.
The next moment, Skylar lifted her dress and walked towards Daryl, smiling at Cecilia. "Cecilia, I really want to see the gift you brought. I can't wait until later."
Hearing this, Cecilia smiled.
At this moment, Daryl seemed a bit nervous and said, "What's there to see? You two should chat first."
Hearing this, Cecilia looked up at Daryl, feeling that he was acting a bit off today, as if he was deliberately preventing Skylar from seeing the gift.
At this moment, Cecilia looked up and met Daryl's deep eyes.
His eyes were deep and carried a hint of reproach. Cecilia felt puzzled, thinking, 'What have I done to offend him? We have just exchanged a few angry words in front of the restroom earlier.'
Skylar had already walked up to Daryl and reached for the box, but Daryl's hand remained on the box, not letting go.
"Daryl, is there something wrong with the gift?" Skylar asked, sensing Daryl's unusual behavior.
"No," Daryl said, sensing Skylar's questioning eyes, and withdrew his hand.
Then, Daryl gave Cecilia a hard look, put his hands in his pockets, and his face turned gloomy.
Daryl's look puzzled Cecilia. She had just chosen a simple crystal swan, and the gift was from the magazine, not from her personally. Why was he so upset?
Cecilia thought Daryl might be feeling guilty because she kept appearing in front of him and Skylar.
The next moment, Skylar opened the gift box.
But when Skylar saw the gift inside the box, her mouth dropped open, and she stared at the item in the box in shock for several seconds.
Seeing Skylar's expression, Cecilia frowned. She thought, 'It is just a simple gift, why is Skylar so shocked?'
The next moment, Skylar angrily closed the box, turned around, and glared at Cecilia, demanding. "Cecilia, what is the meaning of this?"
Seeing Skylar's angry expression, Cecilia was puzzled and asked, "Skylar, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the gift?"
"How dare you ask? Cecilia, I considered you my best friend. Why would you do this to me? If you have any grievances, you could have told me. Why use such a despicable method to disgust me?" Skylar said, then turned and threw the gift at Cecilia.
Cecilia stood there in shock as the gift box hit her face and then fell to the floor.
Instinctively, Cecilia reached up to touch her face, feeling a burning sensation, but she was more eager to understand what had happened.
The next moment, Cecilia looked down at the box on the floor. The lid had rolled away, and the contents had spilled out.
When Cecilia saw what had fallen out of the box, she was shocked.
"What is going on?" Cecilia stared at the items on the floor, her mouth agape.
