Doing if that way means potentially missing key information from the skipped cutscene that pertains to the rest of the quest, which can lead to confusion and ultimately negatively impact the overall story experience.
There is a third option which is also not ideal: Skip the cutscene and after the duty you abandon the quest and start it anew.
