Chapter 1183 Fear
The next morning, Cecilia deliberately chose a black suit to wear. Her long hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, and she wore no accessories, without basic makeup. The black suit and black leather shoes made her look quite old-fashioned, but that was exactly the effect she was going for.
After arranging her work, Cecilia went downstairs accompanied by an assistant.
When they exited the office building, Douglas's car had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Cecilia and her assistant come out, Douglas was momentarily stunned, then eagerly opened the door for Cecilia.
"Thank you," Cecilia said as she got into the car.
The car drove quickly and smoothly. Cecilia remained silent, repeatedly going over the questions she had prepared in her notebook. The assistant sitting next to her was also busily preparing various interview equipment.
Soon, Douglas led Cecilia and her assistant to the door of the CEO's office on the top floor of the Fields Group building.
The Fields Group building rose high in the sky. The lobby on the first floor was luxurious, and all the staff dressed in uniform. Everyone moved quickly and busily, but in an orderly manner, clearly showing the atmosphere of a large corporation.
The top floor where the CEO's office was located wasn't so luxurious, but it was high-end. Apart from the sound of footsteps, there was no other noise. Occasionally, staff members walked by, all looking very reserved.
Standing on the shiny floor, Cecilia felt an inexplicable panic.
This was Daryl's territory. Stepping into his domain made her feel uneasy.
"This is Mr. Fields's office, Miss Thorne. Please go in," Douglas said as he pushed the two dark red doors.
"Okay," Cecilia nodded and took a few steps forward with her briefcase.
Douglas stopped Cecilia's assistant.
"Miss, you can't go in. Mr. Fields only accepts interviews from Miss Thorne alone," Douglas said to Cecilia's assistant.
Cecilia turned around and saw her assistant frowning at her.
In fact, Cecilia could complete this task alone. She brought an assistant to avoid any entanglement with Daryl.
But she should have known that Daryl wouldn't allow anyone else into his office. She had seen this trick before.
"Douglas, this is my assistant. She helps me with the equipment," Cecilia explained.
Douglas quickly smiled and took the camera and recorder from Cecilia's assistant, saying, "Miss Thorne, I'll take these inside for you. As for this lady, we have a reception room. Please follow me to the reception room for some refreshments!"
After speaking, a young and beautiful secretary standing at a desk quickly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Miss, please follow me."
With no other choice, Cecilia exchanged a glance with her assistant, who then followed the secretary to the reception room.
Cecilia stepped into the CEO's office, which was carpeted in deep red, and immediately felt a chill.
Looking up, she met a pair of deep eyes.
Daryl stood in front of the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling window, one hand in his pocket, with a warm smile on his face.
Seeing his smiling eyes fixed on her, Cecilia couldn't shake off a wave of fear.
She quickly lowered her head, avoiding his gaze.
For a moment, the large office had a tense atmosphere.
Douglas quickly placed the camera and recorder on a nearby coffee table and said with a smile, "Miss Thorne, your equipment is here. I'll go make coffee for you and Mr. Fields!"
Then, Douglas quickly exited the CEO's office.
After the door closed, Cecilia suddenly felt a bit lost.
Seeing Cecilia's nervousness, Daryl smiled and said, "Please, have a seat."
He then turned and sat on a three-seater sofa.
"Thank you," Cecilia said as she sat on a single-seater sofa.
Seeing Cecilia sitting far away from him, Daryl grinned. "Sitting so far away, can you interview me properly?"
Cecilia replied, "This is close enough."
She then turned on the recorder.
However, Daryl stepped forward, grabbed the recorder from Cecilia's hand, and turned it off.
Cecilia frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Daryl gently replied, "Starting the interview right away, don't you find it awkward?"
"Do we need a warm-up?" Cecilia said angrily.
"Of course," Daryl said matter-of-factly.
Cecilia couldn't shake the feeling that Daryl was deliberately stalling the interview.
Next, Daryl asked a series of questions. "Your show is called Financial Figures, right? Since it's about financial figures, the guest must have a solid financial background. So, let me ask you, what are the main areas of business for Fields Group? How many employees do we have? What is our business philosophy? Can you describe our growth trajectory over the past twenty years?"
Hearing these questions, Cecilia was a bit stunned. She quickly took out the prepared materials and handed them to Daryl, saying, "I found your company's profile online."
Daryl took the profile from Cecilia and smiled, "These are basic, written for outsiders. I think I need to give you a detailed introduction."
Cecilia realized she had been too hasty. She indeed didn't know much about Fields Corporation.
At that moment, there was a knock on the office door!
"Come in," Daryl said towards the door.
The door opened, and Douglas walked in with a smile, carrying two cups of coffee.
Douglas placed one cup in front of Daryl and another in front of Cecilia, smiling, "Miss Thorne, I added milk for you, one part milk to two parts tea, with one sugar cube. Mr. Fields mentioned that this is your habit."
Cecilia couldn't help but feel moved.
Looking down at the coffee in front of her, she frowned slightly. This was indeed how she liked her coffee. He remembered it clearly.
"Thank you," Cecilia said expressionlessly.
Douglas glanced at Cecilia and then tactfully left.
After Douglas left, Daryl suddenly stood up, grabbed Cecilia's wrist, and pulled her up from the sofa!
