Kelly was very happy when Minerva praised her. After all, she had always looked up to her, as if Minerva was her idol.

However, what made Kelly sad was that Maddox had rejected her work. As long as he rejected her design for not being up to his standards, she would not be able to get the contract. If she couldn't obtain the contract, how could she get a bonus?

This was what Kelly was worried about.

Upon hearing this, Minerva's hand, which was flipping the pages, paused for a moment. A moment later, she closed the document and thought for a moment. "Did he reject it right in front of you?"

Kelly shook her head and said, "No, I haven't even met him yet. His assistant told me that President Yardley was not satisfied with these design works, thus he asked me not to present such poor designs. Therefore... I took it here for you to have a look at it. Are my designs that bad?"

"It's not that it's bad." Minerva shook her head and looked at her seriously. "When I received the order, didn't I tell you that this project is a very large-scaled one? It will be more difficult than all other projects. Even I can't handle it."

"Yes, you did."

"Hence, you need to have great patience in order to complete it. Even if you don't succeed in the end, I think this process will definitely help you grow."

Although Maddox didn't understand the industry they were in, he was very picky and precise with what he wanted. It would be good to let Kelly experience such a project.

"Alright, I got it. Then, I'll go back and continue with the designs."

"Sure, go ahead."

After Kelly left, Vera adjusted the blazer on her body and looked at Minerva wryly. "You clearly know that she will not succeed. Why do you still challenge her to get this contract? In fact, I think we should have breached the contract back then. That way, we wouldn't face this many problems now."

"Many things wouldn't have happened if we had rescinded the contract back then. That way, I wouldn't suffer from a headache now."

Minerva reached out and pinched her nose bridge. She did not know how long Maddox would be entangled with her.
