For Joel Xavier, this was an unexpected turn of events. He thought that after the appraisal mishap, Seraphina Sterling would question his abilities and simply let him go. He never imagined she would still want to hire him!
"Aren't you afraid that if I make another appraisal mistake, you'll lose your shirt?" Joel Xavier had been supremely confident in his appraisal skills, but after this incident, he wasn't so sure of himself anymore.
"Before today, you might have made such a mistake. But after today, I believe you won't make one so easily!"
This was true. In terms of technical skill, Joel Xavier was already excellent; his only flaw was his overconfidence. After what had just happened, she believed he would definitely reflect on his actions, never be careless again, and wouldn't jump to conclusions so easily.
"But what if I really do make a mistake?" Joel Xavier pressed, not letting the issue go.
