Chapter 776 Waiting for You to Eat?
Cecilia's sarcastic words made Alaric feel as if a giant stone was blocking his chest, making it hard to breathe.
He pressed his lips tightly together and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Cecilia waited for a while, and when she was sure he had nothing to say to her, she turned and left.
"Cecilia," Alaric called out to her suddenly as he watched her figure.
She paused and turned back, "What?"
"The day after tomorrow, I'll be having my inauguration ceremony."
Which meant that the day after tomorrow, he would officially become the President.
Cecilia smiled, "Congratulations."
That kind of smile at the corners of her mouth, but with eyes devoid of any emotion, deeply pierced Alaric's heart.
He knew very well that Cecilia didn't care when he took office.
Cecilia didn't care about him or anything related to him.
It was just him who wanted to share with her.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room. I have a lot to do early tomorrow, so I won't keep you company," Cecilia said and left directly.She thought that she couldn't stop him from coming back.
She couldn't resist him breaking his promises.
All she could do was make herself feel a little better.
She went back to her room.
Took a shower, and lay down to sleep.
Alaric being in this house really made her lose sleep.
To be precise, she had been losing sleep for a while now.
On one hand, she was worried about the Lockhart Group, and on the other hand, she was too depressed during this period.
She could fool everyone, but not herself.
In the dead of night, she was very clear about how difficult this period had been for her.
She tried hard to close her eyes, tried hard to sleep, tried hard not to think about anything.
But it was useless.
It was usually useless, let alone tonight when Alaric was still in this villa.
Even if he didn't enter this room all night.
The next day, early in the morning.
As soon as Cecilia's alarm went off, she got up.
It wasn't that she didn't want to stay in bed, but she simply hadn't slept.
She had actually gotten used to not sleeping all night.
Lying in bed was just a formality.
She walked into the bathroom.
Sitting on the toilet, she paused for a moment.
She saw a bit of blood on her underwear.
Just a little.
She chose to ignore it.
After changing into clean underwear, washing up, and putting on makeup, she changed into her outdoor clothes and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Alaric was already up.
He was sitting in the living room, reading the newspaper.
Hearing the sound, he turned to look at her.
At this moment, George also walked over from the hall, "Mrs. Whitaker, you're awake. I've made breakfast. Mr. Whitaker got up early to wait for you to have breakfast together..."
"I have an appointment with my dad to have breakfast at the Lockhart Group." Cecilia smiled slightly.
George looked a bit troubled.
He turned to look at Alaric.
Obviously, he didn't know how to persuade her to stay.
Alaric spoke, "My flight is at 8 PM tonight."
She knew he would definitely leave tonight, after all, the ceremony was the next day.
But she didn't respond.
His leaving was his business.
Just like his coming, it had nothing to do with her.
"Do you have time at noon? I heard from Dashiell that after the all-staff meeting in the morning, you'll be leaving the Lockhart Group." Alaric asked her.
"Whether I have time or not, isn't it up to you?" Cecilia sneered.
With two bodyguards watching her, she couldn't escape, could she?
"I'll wait for you for lunch at noon," Alaric said calmly, as if he didn't hear Cecilia's sarcasm.
Cecilia turned and left.
Because she really had nothing to say.
She got into the car and received a call from Seraphina.
"Cecilia, why didn't you stop me last night?" Seraphina was almost crying.
Cecilia frowned, what was wrong with Seraphina so early in the morning?
"Did I point at Alaric's nose and scold him last night?" Seraphina asked.
Cecilia laughed.
Was Seraphina just waking up from her drunkenness?
"Yes, and you were very loud. Your voice almost lifted the whole villa."
Cecilia was trying to scare her, wasn't she?
"Regret it?" Cecilia laughed.
"Regret it so much. Do you think he'll kill my whole family?"
"Maybe."
"Cecilia!" Seraphina was obviously scared by Cecilia.
Cecilia laughed brightly, the sunlight just hitting her cheeks, "Ask Dashiell to plead for you, maybe you'll be spared."
"You're still teasing me!" Seraphina was angry.
Cecilia took a deep breath, her tone much more serious, "Don't drink so much next time, it's bad for your health. And it's easy to make mistakes when you're drunk. Once is fine, Alaric might not be that petty, and he hasn't become President yet. But being around a king is like being around a tiger, be more respectful to Alaric in the future, and if possible, avoid him."
"What about you?" Seraphina asked her.
Everyone had to respect Alaric.
Did she have to do the same?
After being hurt by Alaric to this extent, did she also have to swallow her pride?
"Me too." Cecilia said calmly, "Seraphina, if you want to live, you have to learn the way of survival."
"I really feel sorry for you." Seraphina was very upset.
Seraphina's first thing in the morning was to call Cecilia. On one hand, she was really regretful for her drunken rant last night. She remembered Cassius praising her for being strong and fearless when he sent her back. She was quite excited last night, but now thinking about it, it was terrifying.
On the other hand, she wanted to ask about Cecilia and Alaric's situation last night. With Cecilia's strong personality, how could she endure Alaric treating her like this?
Would Alaric do anything to force her?
Seraphina didn't dare to think too much, afraid that she would lose control again.
"Alright, take care of yourself. You're already late for work, aren't you afraid Dashiell will scold you?" Cecilia reminded.
Seraphina looked at the time, screamed, and realized she was late, hurriedly saying, "I won't talk to you anymore, I'm getting up!"
Then she hung up the phone abruptly.
Cecilia also put down her phone.
Sometimes she really envied Seraphina's reckless personality.
Unlike her, who thought too much about everything.
The car arrived at the Lockhart Group.
It was probably the last day she would enter here, and her heart was a bit unsettled.
She walked straight into Theodore's office.
Inside the office, Theodore looked a bit solemn.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, he remained silent.
Cecilia took a deep breath and put on a beautiful smile. "Dad, did you dress up well today? It's the last time in front of the employees, you have to leave a good impression! Come, let me see if you look handsome today."
Theodore turned to look at Cecilia.
Looking at Cecilia's smiling face as she walked towards him.
Theodore knew her best, he knew how forced her smile was.
