And why would he go listen to others and deal with Aria when he had advanced all the way up on his own strength? Seeming to understand what was going through Carla’s mind, James scratched his bald head, “Well… l am not confident.”
“Not confident?” Carla looked at him strangely.
James answered, “Because of the color of our skin, we are even less popular than Western designers and you Easterners, and we suffer more bullying than you do. I’ve been bullied for years, and over time I’ve lost a lot of confidence and always felt my work was no good.”
“So that’s how it is… Western designers are still really bullying.” Carla sighed.
Aria rubbed her brow and said, “Every year, there are actually a lot designers who drop out of the circle because of bullying, depending on whether they could stand it or not.”
“Then he’s been able to get this far through years of bullying and just lacks some confidence, so you can see that he is strong- willed.” Carla rubbed her chin as she surveyed James.
