?Chapter 333:


    “Why this sudden eagerness to help? Do you really have the power to recruit new designers for yourpany?” Quinter’s eyes were sharp, and he stood firmly in front of Max, his bodynguage protective and unyielding.


    With a smooth, deliberate motion, Katelyn pulled out her business card and offered it to him. She had prepared it for her introduction to Selina.


    The card was striking—a deep ck adorned with gleaming gold text that read: Katelyn Bailey, General Manager of Adams Group Design Department.


    Quinter took the card, running his fingers over the smooth surface as he examined it closely. He turned it over a few times, clearly struggling to reconcile Katelyn’s youthful appearance with her high-ranking position.


    He asked, his skepticism evident, “Is this card real?”


    “It is,” Katelyn assured him with a calm demeanor. “If you’re unsure, you can look up the Adams Group online. We might not be based here, but we urgently need talented local jewelry designers.”


    Quinter’s skepticism didn’t wane immediately. He fumbled for his phone and began searching for information about the Adams Group.


    As he read through thepany’s impressive profile and financial details, his disbelief transformed into amazement, leaving him momentarily stunned.


    Despite its recent entry into the jewelry market, the Adams Group had a long history of dominance across various sectors like real estate, healthcare, telmunications, and even space exploration. It consistently ranked among the top three globalpanies, its reach and impact unmistakable.


    Quinter and Max stared at the phone’s screen, their astonishment evident as they read about Katelyn’s impressive role. The idea that someone so young could lead such a major department seemed almost unbelievable.


    Katelyn and Selina were strikingly simr in some ways—both had ascended to influential positions at a young age, making their mark in fields traditionally dominated by men.

    Max looked at Katelyn with a mix of wonder and confusion. “If that’s the case, there must be many others more qualified than me. Why choose me?”


    Katelyn took a moment to gather her thoughts, her eyes reflecting a deep understanding before she smiled warmly.


    “People who have faced their own struggles often want to help others avoid simr difficulties. Honestly, I see a lot of myself in you. When I started, I encountered many obstacles, but I persevered, and that’s how I reached where I am today.”


    At the top, people only saw the sess and the des. They cheered with flowers and apuse, but few appreciated the tough road it took to get there.


    The design industry often promised mour and high expectations, but few grasped the harsh realities where power struggles and fiercepetition were the norm.


    In truth, this applied to every industry.


    With her doubts finally cleared, Max gave a decisive nod.


    “Okay. I believe you.”


    She and Katelyn exchanged contact details, and Katelyn assured her, “I’ll give you a call once I’ve wrapped up my tasks here.”


    “Thank you,” Max replied, her appreciation evident as she nodded earnestly.


    Quinter, who had been quietly observing, now faced Katelyn with a serious demeanor. His eyes were filled with sincerity as he spoke up again.


    “I apologize for my earlier doubts. Max is indeed a talented designer. I’m grateful for your help.”


    His voice held the weight of trust, as if he were cing Max’s future in Katelyn’s hands.


    Though he was Max’s mentor, his protective nature often mirrored that of a father.


    Katelyn felt a touch of warmth, recognizing the same genuine concern she had received from her own mentor. Despite the strict guidance she had endured, she always felt secure under her mentor’s support.


    She nodded firmly. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure she’s well taken care of.”


    With other matters awaiting her attention, Katelyn gave Max a few brief instructions before saying goodbye to her.


    Katelyn then returned to the restaurant. As she settled into her seat, she caught Vincent’s amused gaze, aware that he had witnessed the entire interaction from his vantage point.
