Chapter 1217 Sweet Days
On Monday morning, Cecilia walked into the office building, glowing with radiance.
The feeling of being in love was truly wonderful, making her feel light as she walked.
Wearing a pair of high heels, yet her steps were still light.
Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder from behind.
Startled, Cecilia turned around to see Marcella catching up to her.
"You scared me to death, always sneaking up on me," Cecilia said with a pout and a smile.
Marcella looked Cecilia up and down and said in surprise, "Cecilia, you look completely different today!"
"I just dressed up a bit today," Cecilia said, glancing down at herself.
The shoes were the same, the suit was the same, but she had put on a bit of makeup today. Other than that, nothing was different.
"Your complexion is completely different. Not only are you glowing, but your skin is also particularly radiant. Barry must be good at pampering you, right?" Marcella joked.
Cecilia quickly pulled Marcella out of the line waiting for the elevator.
"Don't say that again. Barry and I have broken up," Cecilia said, pulling Marcella into a corner.
Marcella's eyes widened in disbelief. "Broken up? When did this happen? Why? Weren't you two getting along well?"
Cecilia looked down and replied, "We felt we weren't suitable for each other, so we broke up."
"That's such a pity," Marcella muttered, then stared at Cecilia and said, "But you don't look like someone who's just had a breakup. You look like you've found a treasure!"
Cecilia realized she couldn't hide it anymore and whispered, "I got back together with my ex-boyfriend."
Marcella's eyes widened even more. "Oh my God, I haven't seen you for a weekend, and you've already got two big pieces of news!"
Cecilia quickly grabbed her and said, "You have to keep this a secret for me. I don't want others to know about my private life."
"Don't worry, I will. But with you looking so radiant, it might raise some suspicions," Marcella said, staring at Cecilia.
Cecilia touched her face and thought," It seems I need to act a bit more melancholic in the future."
In a luxuriously decorated villa, Skylar sat in front of the sofa, holding a stack of photos. She frowned as she quickly flipped through the photos in her hand.
The photos showed a young man and woman, either hugging, holding hands, or even kissing, with smiles on their faces. They were a couple deeply in love.
Finally, halfway through the photos, Skylar lost interest and threw the photos onto the coffee table, then held her head in her hands.
Not long after, Charlotte walked in. Seeing her sorrowful face, she frowned, then looked down at the photos on the coffee table. She picked up some photos and said, "Daryl is with that woman again? Didn't he get tired of her? How are they still together?"
"Mom, stop it," Skylar said irritably.
Charlotte turned and sat next to Skylar, holding her hand, and said with concern, "Skylar, if he doesn't appreciate you, why do you insist on being with him? I feel it's not worth it for you!"
"Mom, haven't I told you? I will never give up on Daryl. I must marry him in this lifetime. He has to be mine!" Skylar clenched her skirt, her eyes full of determination.
Seeing the determination in her eyes, Charlotte knew she couldn't persuade her, so she asked helplessly, "Skylar, what are you going to do? They are in love now. You can't just forcefully separate them, can you?"
Skylar confidently said, "Mom, I don't need to do it myself. Someone else will separate them!"
"You mean..." Hearing her words, Charlotte seemed to understand what she meant.
"Just wait and see," Skylar said with a sinister smile.
Cecilia and Daryl were inseparable, like many couples in love, sweet, and affectionate every day. However, they both maintained their boundaries. Daryl kept his word and never had an intimate relationship with Cecilia, making her feel cherished.
After work that day, as soon as Cecilia walked out of the office building, she looked up and saw Daryl's car parked by the roadside.
These days, his car was always parked there at this time, without fail.
After getting into the passenger seat, Cecilia leaned back on the leather seat and said worriedly, "I'm under a lot of pressure!"
"What's wrong?" Daryl asked, frowning as he looked at her.
"Next Friday night is our magazine's annual party, and Seraphine wants me to be the host," Cecilia replied with a troubled expression.
Daryl breathed a sigh of relief. "You have a great image, good temperament, and you speak well. She has a good eye!"
Cecilia frowned and said, "You know our magazine is quite prestigious in the industry. The annual party is a big event. Various media, many well-known companies, and celebrities will attend. Although I have hosted events in school before, I've never experienced such a big occasion!"
"I believe you can do it!" Daryl said, holding her hand.
"I'm just afraid of messing it up for Seraphine. If I embarrass her, I won't have the face to see anyone," Cecilia said helplessly.
"You have no choice but to face it head-on. It's okay, I'll find two top hosts to coach you over the weekend," Daryl said casually.
"That's a great idea!" Cecilia immediately beamed with joy.
"Alright, stop worrying. Think about what to eat tonight?" Daryl asked with a smile.
Cecilia touched her ponytail and said, "Let's have some vegetarian food."
Daryl glanced at her. "Are you making me eat vegetarian too? I was so busy at noon that I didn't have time to eat. I'm hungry now."
"Why didn't you eat lunch again? Don't you know you have a bad stomach? You're going to drive me crazy!" Hearing that he didn't eat lunch, Cecilia immediately scolded him.
Daryl explained, "I was too busy today. I wanted to finish everything so I could leave work on time to pick you up."
Cecilia felt a pang of sadness. His work was indeed very busy, and now he was picking her up and dropping her off every morning and evening, really making time for her.
"If you're too busy, you don't have to pick me up every day," Cecilia said, looking at him with concern.
