Chapter 1181 Showcasing Happiness
Upon hearing this, Cecilia blushed and turned her face away. The two of them stood almost back to back, ignoring each other.
Soon, the elevator doors opened.
Cecilia pressed the button for the first floor, then stepped out of the elevator, waving at Daryl and saying, "Take care!"
"You..." By the time Daryl turned around, the elevator doors were already closing.
After Daryl left, Cecilia took out her keys and entered the door.
She tossed her purse and keys on the table and collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted. The past two days and one night had been incredibly draining for her, both physically and emotionally.
After a while, Cecilia suddenly thought of something and quickly stood up, walking over to the window.
Looking down, she saw a black car slowly driving away.
It was Daryl's car. Knowing he had left, Cecilia let out a sigh of relief.
That night, Cecilia had trouble falling asleep, her mind racing with thoughts.
The next morning, Cecilia woke up late and hurried downstairs with her purse.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the hallway, she almost bumped into someone!
She saw a gray suit and looked up to see a familiar, handsome face.
Seeing Cecilia's surprised expression, Daryl smiled slightly and said, "Get in the car. I've already prepared breakfast for you. I know you didn't sleep well last night."
Cecilia's face immediately darkened. "Mr. Fields, you helped me last time, and I already thanked you with dinner last night. So, I hope we won't have any more personal interactions in the future. I hope you can understand."
With that, Cecilia turned to leave.
However, Daryl stepped forward to block her path, frowning and saying, "Cecilia, there are a lot of misunderstandings between us that need to be cleared up and many things we need to talk about. Can we sit down and have a calm conversation? Life is short; let's not waste each other's time."
Despite Daryl's sincere words, Cecilia was unimpressed and sneered, "Honestly, I feel that continuing to be entangled with you is a waste of my time. Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Could you please move?"
Daryl grabbed Cecilia's arm and said, "Cecilia, don't you think it's a pity for us to miss each other like this?"
Glancing down at Daryl's hand holding her, Cecilia hesitated momentarily before slowly raising her gaze and saying flatly, "Daryl, we missed our chance a long time ago."
With that, Cecilia gently pushed his hand away.
Hearing Cecilia's words, Daryl's eyes filled with sadness, and he slowly released her arm.
Then, Cecilia turned and walked away with determination.
Daryl watched her retreating figure for a long time without leaving.
Behind him, Douglas watched the scene, touched his nose, and then turned and shrugged his shoulders.
Daryl had another rejection. Douglas decided it was best not to stir up trouble and wait for him there.
That afternoon, Cecilia suddenly received a call from Susan, saying that she and Isabella had returned from vacation and wanted to meet for lunch.
Cecilia used her lunch break to rush to the Mexican restaurant they had agreed on.
After Putting down her bag, Cecilia smiled at Susan and Isabella and said, "Did you have a great time on your vacation? I couldn't find you anywhere. By the way, now that you're both out, how are the babies? Are the two CEOs okay with that?"
Isabella immediately replied, "Would they even dare?"
Susan laughed and said, "We worked so hard for ten months to give birth to the babies. If they don't let us have lunch, that would be too even!"
Cecilia smiled, "Sounds like they are good husbands."
"By the way, why did you want to see us?" Susan asked.
Cecilia hesitated for a moment before saying, "Nothing, I just wanted to catch up with you. I didn't expect you two to go on vacation together. I'm so envious of you, having husbands and children to accompany you. It's so relaxing!"
Isabella and Susan exchanged glances, and Susan said, "Cecilia, you will have your own family and be surrounded by happiness too."
"Thank you," Cecilia replied, meeting Susan and Isabella's eyes. She knew they were concerned about her love life and didn't want to see her alone.
After that, they enjoyed their meal and chatted together.
As they talked, Susan and Isabella would often mention their husbands and children, their faces lighting up with happiness. Cecilia knew they both had happy families and loving husbands. Although she knew they didn't mean to, Cecilia couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Cecilia unconsciously touched her stomach. If her child had survived, it would be about a hundred days old by now.
Her heart tightened with pain.
"By the way, Cecilia, how's work going? Do you need any help from Isabella and me?" Susan asked with a smile after chatting for a while.
"No, I'm fine," Cecilia replied, shaking her head.
"She got promoted, so everything must be going well now. I bet she doesn't have any problems," Isabella chimed in with a smile.
Actually, Cecilia wanted to invite Seb or Leon to do an exclusive interview for Vogue Vista, but she didn't say anything. She felt that if she asked, it would change their friendship. Susan and Isabella were friends she deeply respected, and she didn't want anything to alter their relationship.
"Has anyone been checking out Leon at the office lately?" Isabella suddenly changed the subject and looked at Susan.
Susan glanced at Cecilia and smiled, "Everyone in the company knows Mr. Johnson has a fierce wife. Who would dare to flirt with him? They'd be risking their lives!"
Isabella couldn't help but feel smug and said, "That's good. Now all the female employees have their sights set on Seb!”
"All the people around him are mine, and they're all men, so no worries," Susan said with a laugh as she continued eating.
"You're the toughest!" Isabella gave her a thumbs up.
"You have to be tough. Although I trust him, there are too many women trying to climb the ladder. It's not that I'm afraid they'll steal him, but it's just annoying to see them. It ruins my mood," Susan laughed.
Hearing their conversation, Cecilia couldn't help but chime in, "The life of a wealthy wife is also quite stressful."
"Everyone has their own troubles!" Susan laughed.
After having lunch with Susan and Isabella, Cecilia felt quite happy, except for the lingering sadness over the lost child.
