Chapter 430:
After pausing briefly, Kailey responded, “I think my experience is still too limited to permanently take on the role of lead designer p>
“Experience comes with time. Holding the position and gaining experience are not opposites p>
“I just feel that p>
“Are you doubting yourself?” Linda asked.
Faced with the firm resolve in Linda’s eyes, Kailey found herself unable to continue.
In a steady tone, Linda went on, “Right now, no one else in this company is more suitable than you. I gave you this role because I trust your ability. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me anytime. The whole company stands behind your designs. What exactly are you worried about p>
Kailey pressed her lips together and realized she had no concrete answer.

And we haven’t even talked about the collaboration with Miss Lawson. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. I heard she’s temperamental and unpredictable — quite eccentric, they say p>
“Candice?” Kailey had almost pushed that out of her mind. But judging from their interaction the day before, she hadn’t seemed so difficult to communicate with at all.
Before long, Kailey crossed paths with Candice again.
People had painted Candice as demanding and hard to please, yet she turned out to be warm and easy to talk to. She even showed up with a present in hand. “If I’d known we were meeting so soon, I would’ve brought you something from overseas. Since I didn’t, I picked this up instead p>
