76- Two Years Later

(Two years later)

Ashley Walters pov

“Congratulations, Ms. Walters. All five companies want you to design their places. Two of them are their head offices and three of them are residential plans. You are just halfway to your degree, and you are already getting offers.”

I was beaming at the praise because two months back I did a private project of furnishing office space and that proved to be a hit.

The principal of the International University of Arguli sitting across from me never had this idea that there were just five offers reached to me through the university but privately I was getting numerous.

According to Aniya, “The way you are getting offers, you will be soon buying Deluca properties. Ha–ha.”

Yes.

For the past two years, Deluca properties had become a part of our jokes.

“Ms. Walters these five offers will be distributed among our five toppers. However, you are being given the first choice to have your pick.”

In the past two years, I had not only become the apple of my professors‘ eyes but also a popular girl among guys. I was getting my fair share of offers and dates.

“This is a lifetime achievement, Ms. Walters. Have your pick. I will personally suggest you pick the new office building near Arguli beach. It belongs to our University Dean Mr. Justin Deluca, and they will pay a handsome amount.”

The name Deluca brought bitterness to the tip of my tongue. Yup, you got that right. Justin was the Dean of our university. He rarely arrived here and if he did, we never encountered each other.

He rarely visited here and when he did. I used to get the idea when the girls in my class started getting too dressy or cakey. They often complained about how they were jealous of Sarah who always accompanied him on his every visit. They might be using some other route to enter and exit the university.

Thankfully!

“No, sir. I will request you to give me a residential one. Last time, I already designed an office setup.” No way I was getting a Deluca project.
