CHAPTER 20
It was Benjamin’s first day as a seven-star deliverer, and Christopher didn’t look like a happy man because he gave negative remarks for Benjamin’s work, but Benjamin still got promoted. How could Christopher have known Alfred was working behind the scenes to give Benjamin the much-deserved promotion? Because he didn’t know, his fat stomach was rotting from negative feelings.
The best part, as most would say, about getting promoted into a seven-star deliverer was obviously being gifted a personal vehicle, but some would say that it was the fact that the founder of Rye’s Pizzas himself would directly come in the flesh to give the car keys to the new seven-star deliverer.
However, the founder did not come today because of falling sick. So, the car-gifting event was postponed. Benjamin was still driving the company’s old motorcycle to go around and deliver the pizzas in time. The timespan had gone down from thirty to fifteen minutes, so it pushed him into using all his bike-riding skills to get to the delivery points in time.
He was a few seconds late for the first delivery itself, but the customer was an understanding old lady who lived on the sixth floor of an apartment, so she didn’t think twice before giving Benjamin a seven-star rating. Still and all, Benjamin didn’t have the time to relax, as it was necessary for the seven-star deliverers to make at least two seven-star deliveries per hour.
“Doing 15-minute deliveries on a bike isn’t that tough, but once I’m given a car, I’ll have to drive around on a car,” Benjamin thought. “It’ll get much harder to deliver within 15 minutes on a car, so it makes me wonder why the company gives its top employees a personal car. Well, at least they allow me to ride a bike, so I think I’ll keep using this bike unless the delivery is too big to be done with this two-wheeler.” Nevertheless, he was more worried about another deadline and that was to reach the fashion college before five o’clock in the evening.
After giving it his all for the rest of the day, he excitedly headed to the fashion college on a taxi and bought a bouquet along the way.
There was a cultural fest going on, and he hoped he wasn’t late. He sat among the students and asked them if the chief guest had spoken yet or not, and to his luck, they shook their heads. Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief before waiting eagerly. About half an hour later, the chief guest arrived and more than half of the students got up from their seats to welcome her.
Wearing a simple cream-colored dress with embellished designs and a rose flower and falling petals design at the bottom, she stole the hearts of the students, especially of the male students. She was five feet and eight inches tall, taller than some of the male students, and her legs looked long and shapely even though the dress had hidden most of her skin. All the heads turned wherever she went and greeted the other guests of the event and the staff of the
college. Benjamin was no exception. He kept gawking at her like a mesmerized monkey. As she took a seat in the front row, the students in the back rows kept talking about her nonstop. “I can’t believe she’s one of the top fashion designers of the country. She looks so young!” “Didn’t you know?” She’s a college dropout.” “What? Really?” “Who cares about such things? Our college girls don’t hold a candle to her. Whoever marries that woman, he’s going to be the luckiest guy in the world!” Benjamin felt proud of himself, for they were talking about his wife. The chief guest of the cultural event was none other than Rebecca.
Once the fashion events ended, Rebecca and the other judges chose the winner. The dean of the college gave the speech first, and then asked Rebecca to speak to the students. Rebecca carried herself pretty well on the stage, and many people couldn’t help but notice the classy high-heels that subtly enhanced her gait.
Once Rebecca grabbed the mic, she gave a once-over to the audience that not only contained students of this college but some other adults that came to watch the event. “I won’t bore you with a long speech, so please don’t sleep like that guy in the last row.”
