Penelope reacted half a beat slower, with a bewildered look on her face.
Seeing the gazes around her, her chest could not help but thump incessantly.
Penelope followed up with, "I don't know a lot about this fashion show, I think the seniors must know a bit more than me."
There was humility in her words.
Professor James was very satisfied with Penelope's attitude and humility.
"Ms. Reed, do you want to try and take a lead this time."
After his words came out…
The people around them were dumbfounded.
Professor James was so trusting of Penelope. Was this considered a direct appointment from him?
But Penelope really did not have any outstanding works, so... They were afraid it was not convincing.
Penelope’s eyes were full of surprise, and she was stunned by the news. Just as she was about to speak, the people around her could not help but speak first.
"Professor James, Ms. Reed's experience is still not enough. Hastily accepting such a big challenge, I'm afraid it would be a bit too much for her."
"Yeah! I think your student Jane is more suitable as the main designer this time. After all, Jane has taken over many projects in her hands, big and small, and almost all of them have been completed perfectly."
"Jane's design style is also very unique, and her ability is definitely one of the best in our circle."
Compared to Penelope, everyone was more optimistic about Jane.
This was the mutual agreement of everyone present.
After all, what they knew about Penelope was more gossip on the internet, and nothing else, and they did not believe that Penelope, who was so young and had no such appearance in the design industry, could design any good works.
At that time, if this fashion show was messed up, it would be everyone's name that would be tarnished.
"Professor James, please reconsider!"
Jane listened to the words of the crowd, and her heart dropped quite a bit.
However, she still did not show the slightest emotion on her face, only carefully gauging Professor James's complexion.
Jane's words were filled with a sense of provocation.
All of her emotions were all over her face!
She did not hide her contempt for Penelope.
Penelope pursed her lips and did not speak, seemingly pondering something.
When Jane saw this, she could not help but cross her arm over her chest in a condescending manner.
"What? Will Ms. Reed not dare? Or is Ms. Reed afraid of losing?"
"Jane!" Professor James spoke out and chided her to stop her.
Obviously, Professor James was dissatisfied with her performance today.
Although she was conceited before, she had never been this aggressive.
