Chapter 429:
“You might not know this, but the Lawson family holds considerable influence throughout Ustuijan. They keep a low profile, yet their position is beyond question. Miss Lawson is well-known for her unpredictable personality and sharp temper — very few people manage to gain her favor so quickly. Shouldn’t I commend you for that p>
After finishing his words, Richard cast a meaningful glance at Acton beside him. Whatever thoughts they had entertained earlier had now completely disappeared. No matter how skilled this designer truly was, her apparent connection to the Lawson family was enough to make them think twice before acting impulsively.
Kailey did not appear overly surprised. She responded in a composed tone, “Miss Lawson is actually very approachable. You’re giving me too much credit p>
Once the event concluded, Kailey returned home. During dinner, she casually brought up what had happened.
“However, I’ve noticed something. Every woman who shows up around me seems especially curious about you.” A faint trace of sourness slipped into her voice as she bit lightly on her fork and glanced at the man beside her. “Do you secretly have some irresistible charm p>
“Do I need anything like that?” Even without effort, attention naturally gravitated toward him.

Kailey shot him a look and chose not to respond.
Kyson leaned over and gently ruffled her hair, almost as though smoothing down a sulking kitten. “Relax. In this world, there’s only one person whose attention I care about. You don’t need to feel uneasy p>
What exactly did she have to be uneasy about? Kailey puffed her cheeks slightly before lowering her head to continue eating.
After a moment, she paused and looked up. “By the way, she also came from Ustuijan. Could you two have been alumni or something p>
A soft laugh escaped him. “The world is vast. Do you really believe fate places familiar faces at every turn p>
“That’s true.” Besides, if Candice genuinely knew him, she would not have claimed she lacked connections here.
Soon enough, they both dismissed the matter and stopped thinking about it.
With the quarterly launch exhibition successfully completed, Kailey finally felt a sense of relief. Still, work never truly came to an end.
The following day, Linda gathered everyone for a full staff meeting. The purpose was to review the achievements of the past quarter and to energize the team for what lay ahead.
“At present, the ‘Whispers of the Wilderness,’ ‘Spirit of the Stars,’ and ‘Realm of the Wilderness’ collections are performing remarkably well. Even our premium custom orders have increased in revenue by several percentage points compared to the previous quarter p>
Linda placed both hands on the table and lifted her gaze. “Kailey, you will continue serving as Fantasy Fusion’s lead designer. From now on, all original design concepts will pass through you first. Begin preparing the theme for the next quarter’s flagship collection p>
Surprise flashed across Kailey’s face. “Me p>
“Is there anyone else here who could take it p>
Linda knew about Kailey’s connection with Kyson. However, as long as nothing had been made public, Kailey was still her employee. Linda handled matters with a practical mindset and treated her responsibilities seriously. On top of that, this kind of opportunity would only help Kailey grow.
