Once Quentin left, Christine gave Duke a gentle pat on the back.

"Come on, Duke! Don't be shy. I might not know much about traditional Western crafts, but you need to showcase your strengths."

Duke scratched his head, "You're right, Christine. I guess I'm just a bit nervous."

Christine understood. After all, she was nervous when she first learned about Quentin's influence.
