Chapter 1165 Waiting for Her
Daryl was pushed and stumbled back a step.
At this moment, Cecilia took the opportunity to slam the door shut.
Daryl's hand was almost caught in the door.
After the door was closed, Cecilia let out a sigh of relief, but her brows were still tightly furrowed.
In an instant, she felt weak all over and turned to sit on the couch nearby.
It had been half a year. She thought they were completely over. Why did he show up in front of her today?
And it was obvious he was stalking her. Otherwise, how would he know she was with Barry tonight?
Cecilia didn't understand why Daryl wanted to find her again, but she was really disgusted. If he didn't love her, why continue to pester her?
Then, Cecilia got up, hesitated for a moment, and resolutely turned into the bedroom.
Afterward, Cecilia changed clothes, took a shower, and put on a face mask, forcing herself not to care or think about Daryl outside the door.
In the middle of the night, Cecilia took a peek through the peephole.
She found the hallway outside pitch black, thinking he must have left long ago.
At this moment, Cecilia's heart finally calmed down.
The next morning, Cecilia rushed out of the hallway with an umbrella.
She thought, 'What is going on this year? It seems to rain almost every day, and it is always heavy rain.'
In this weather, it was impossible to squeeze onto the bus because Cecilia couldn't compete with the crowd, so she had to call a taxi.
Although it was hard to get a taxi in this weather, it had never been this difficult. After waiting for several minutes, there wasn't a single taxi on the street. Cecilia felt like all the taxi drivers were on vacation today.
Just as Cecilia was at a loss in the rain, a white SUV slowly pulled up in front of her.
Seeing this car, Cecilia frowned.
Because this was the car Douglas used to pick her up when she was pregnant. Sometimes, to avoid attention, Daryl would also ride in this car.
After a moment of hesitation, sure enough, the rear window of the car was rolled down, revealing a handsome face she really disliked.
"Get in the car, I'll take you to work," Daryl said, looking at Cecilia.
Hearing this, Cecilia snorted coldly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Fields, but no need!"
After saying that, Cecilia walked forward with her umbrella.
The car slowly moved at Cecilia's walking speed, and Daryl kept trying to persuade her, "It's hard to get a taxi today, and you definitely can't squeeze onto the bus."
"None of your business!" Cecilia didn't appreciate it at all and quickened her pace.
Seeing that Cecilia was unmoved, Daryl frowned and said, "If you don't get in the car, you'll definitely be late!"
Cecilia became anxious. Their team had an interview rehearsal. The guest would arrive at the office early, and as the team leader, it would be rude to be late.
Cecilia looked at her watch. Daryl was right; if she couldn't get a taxi, she would definitely be late.
Although she had left early today, but didn't know it would be so hard to get a taxi. Cecilia regretted not leaving even earlier.
Seeing the expression on Cecilia's face, Daryl knew his words had worked.
The next moment, Douglas stopped the car.
Daryl got out of the car and opened the rear door for Cecilia.
Seeing Daryl standing in the rain, his hair quickly getting half-wet, and his suit soaked, Cecilia felt a ripple in her heart but told herself, 'Let alone he gets soaked, even if he dies now, it has nothing to do with me.'
At this moment, Douglas was holding an umbrella to shield Daryl from the rain.
Cecilia was determined not to accept Daryl's kindness, but she couldn't be late today.
Looking ahead, not a single taxi was in sight. Cecilia hesitated for a moment.
Then, she glanced at Daryl, turned around, and chose not to get in the car.
Daryl frowned.
The next moment, Cecilia walked forward, opened the front passenger door, got in, and closed her umbrella.
Seeing this, Daryl's expression softened considerably.
The next moment, Douglas quickly put away the umbrella and got into the driver's seat.
Then, the car quickly drove into the lane.
In the car, there was only the sound of the car moving and the rain hitting the windows, along with their breathing.
Cecilia didn't want to be close to Daryl, so she chose the front passenger seat.
However, for Daryl, her getting into his car was a big step forward. So he had a smile on his face.
Cecilia couldn't see this; her eyes were fixed on the stormy road ahead.
Meanwhile, Daryl kept staring at her profile, one hand touching his chin, as if he hadn't had such a close look at her in a long time.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Cecilia felt uncomfortable, as if someone was staring at her.
After a while, Cecilia inadvertently turned her head and saw Daryl, sitting diagonally from her, touching his chin and looking at her.
Seeing this, Cecilia glared at Daryl and then turned her head away, never looking back.
She didn't understand what game Daryl was playing this time. He shouldn't have been at her door at this time, and it was even less likely to run into her. He must have been waiting there for a long time.
Thinking of this, Cecilia felt a chill.
No matter what Daryl's intentions were, she wouldn't let him succeed. She would definitely keep her distance from him in the future.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the Vogue Vista office building.
"Ms. Thorne, we're at Vogue Vista," Douglas said from the driver's seat.
"Thank you," Cecilia said, preparing to get out of the car.
"Ms. Thorne, you shouldn't thank me; you should thank Mr. Fields," Douglas said with a smile.
Hearing this, Cecilia hesitated for a moment, then suddenly opened her bag, took out a fifty-dollar bill, and threw it on the car's dashboard, saying, "Please give this fifty dollars to your boss. This is my fare; I won't take advantage of him!"
After saying that, Cecilia got out of the car.
Through the window, Daryl saw Cecilia running into the office building with her umbrella, and smiling. He found her quite cute just now.
At this moment, Douglas picked up the fifty-dollar bill and turned to ask, "Mr. Fields, this money..."
