Chapter 1225 Sudden Situation
Suddenly seeing Skylar, Cecilia quickly put on a smile and said, "Skylar, long time no see."
Only Cecilia knew how stiff her smile was at that moment.
Now she was with Daryl. Although she wasn't the other woman since she and Daryl fell in love first, she still felt a bit guilty facing Skylar.
"Cecilia, long time no see. You look even more beautiful than before," Skylar said, gazing at Cecilia.
Cecilia shyly lowered her head. "Thank you."
Cecilia looked up and met Skylar's eyes.
Skylar's eyes were staring blankly at her, making Cecilia feel extremely awkward. She wanted to wrap up the conversation quickly. "I..."
But Skylar interrupted her. "Cecilia, I just saw you arrive in Daryl's car, didn't I?"
Cecilia was stunned. She thought, so she saw everything.
Cecilia didn't know how to respond.
Skylar continued, "I saw you two being very close. Are you dating?"
Skylar's question caught Cecilia off guard.
Although Cecilia felt awkward and a bit guilty, she believed that since Skylar was once her friend and treated her well, she didn't want to lie to her.
Though it was hard to say, Cecilia nodded and said, "Yes."
A hint of sadness flashed in Skylar's eyes.
Seeing the sadness in Skylar's eyes, Cecilia felt very uncomfortable. She then said, "I'm sorry, Skylar. I'm the host today, and I need to go up now."
Skylar smiled and said, "Go ahead. By the way, I forgot to tell you, I was also invited by your magazine to attend the Vogue Vista annual meeting."
"Really?" Cecilia thought that although Skylar's interview wasn't published, she did contribute to the magazine, so it was reasonable for the magazine to invite her.
Cecilia didn't expect Skylar to come, which made her feel a bit uneasy.
"Welcome. I'll go up first." After saying this, Cecilia turned and walked into the hotel lobby, leaving Skylar behind.
Entering the venue, Cecilia put on a confident smile, walked with confident steps, and returned smiles to the guests.
There were already quite a few people in the venue, chatting while drinking.
After greeting a few familiar people, Cecilia felt that everyone around was looking at her strangely. She couldn't help but feel puzzled and looked down at herself, but nothing seemed wrong.
Marcella suddenly walked quickly to Cecilia and said in a low voice, "What's going on? Why are you wearing this outfit?"
Cecilia asked, confused, "What's wrong with my outfit? What's the problem?"
Marcella frowned and said, "Look at those waitresses."
Cecilia looked around the banquet hall to catch sight of the waitresses.
When she saw the waitresses' outfits, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise and said in a panic, "How could this happen?"
Cecilia saw that the waitresses were wearing the same white dress as hers.
Seeing this, Cecilia was stunned!
What's going on? Didn't the salesperson say it was a limited edition, with only two pieces in all of Maple Valley? Why are all the waitresses in the banquet hall wearing this dress?
Cecilia glanced at a waitress passing by and noticed that although the dresses looked the same, the fabric and workmanship were completely different. It was obvious that the waitresses' dresses were very cheap.
However, the people present wouldn't look closely at the fabric and workmanship. They would only laugh at the fact that the host's dress was the same as the waitresses', making it seem very cheap.
"Where did you buy this dress? How could you end up wearing the same dress as the waitresses? This is terrible!" Marcella said, worried for Cecilia.
"I bought it at the most famous mall in Maple Valley. The salesperson said it was a limited edition, with only two pieces in all of Maple Valley." At that moment, Cecilia didn't know what to do.
"Forget about that. We need to think of a solution. You can't wear the same dress as the waitresses, right? It would be a disgrace to both the magazine and yourself!" Marcella frowned.
While Cecilia was at a loss, Daryl also noticed something was wrong and quickly walked over with a serious expression.
"The dress is the same as the waitresses'. I'll have Douglas buy you a new one nearby right away." Daryl said as he took out his phone.
"No, there's no time. I have to go on stage in five minutes." Cecilia glanced at the tall clock in the banquet hall.
"What should we do then?" Daryl frowned.
Marcella quickly grabbed Cecilia's hand and said, "Let's go to the restroom and change clothes. You can wear mine."
Cecilia looked at Marcella's black dress. Although the fabric and workmanship were not as good as hers, there was no time. This was the best solution.
"Thank you, Marcella," Cecilia said gratefully.
"Don't mention it. Time is running out." Marcella pulled Cecilia to the restroom.
Five minutes later, wearing a black dress, Cecilia finally walked confidently to the podium in the banquet hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. On behalf of Vogue Vista, I would like to welcome all of you here tonight..." Cecilia then began to host the evening's banquet.
Although there was the earlier dress clash, Cecilia performed well, and the hosting rhythm and atmosphere were good.
However, just as the banquet was reaching its peak, someone suddenly burst in and started cursing at Cecilia on stage.
"Cecilia, you shameless, despicable woman! You used your relationship with Seraphine's son to not only get promoted but also to become a manager, eliminating your rivals and getting me fired. You're a ruthless person who will do anything to climb up. How can someone like you be a host? You're a disgrace to Vogue Vista!" Arabella, dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, pointed at Cecilia and cursed.
Everyone in the banquet hall was stunned by this sudden situation. No one expected such a thing to happen.
Standing on the podium, Cecilia was suddenly pointed at and cursed by Arabella. She panicked, took a step back, and almost collapsed on the podium.
Cecilia had never experienced such a scene and didn't know how to respond.
