Caitlin met his gaze and responded, “Asho, I owe it to you and my colleagues who have patiently shown me the ropes, allowing me to adapt quickly.”

And regarding your education, while you are indeed a graduate, your alma mater isn’t recognized internationally. There’s a notable gap between you and your colleagues.”
