Chapter 164 Astonishing Artwork

“I just took a walk around, and I couldn’t find your work. Are you sure you handed it over to Professor

Morris?” Susan asked.

Celia quickly snapped back to reality. “I submitted it. Maybe it’s on the other side. Let me take you

there.”

With that, the two of them headed to the other side of the design exhibition.

Meanwhile, Grace remained composed as she was surrounded by people.

After a round of interactions, she greeted everyone and then found a couch where she could sit

and rest.

Xander brought her a glass of champagne and handed it to her. “How’s it going? Are you tired?

Grace shook her head. “Not at all.”

Xander continued, “I just took a look around. There are relatively few design works by Professor Morris

himself at today’s exhibition. The rest of them are his students‘ works.

“I heard that Professor Morris is planning to retire and is looking to take on a successor, so he’s using

this opportunity to assess the students‘ abilities.”

Grace nodded. “I see. Let’s go and take a look as well.”

The two of them strolled down the hallway where the design works were displayed. Grace couldn’t help

but be impressed.

“These pieces of artwork are really good, both in terms of design and concept. It seems like a lot of

effort was put into them.” Grace praised the work, and Xander followed her gaze, nodding in

agreement.

“That’s impressive. This student is only a freshman this year. To be able to design so well in their first

year, they must have a natural talent.

“But there’s one design that’s likely to be the center of attention today.”

Xander’s words instantly piqued Grace’s interest. “Really? Where is it?”

Xander pointed in a direction not far from them. “Yes. It’s in that area where a large crowd has

gathered.”

“Since the crowd is enamored with that artwork, it must be really outstanding,” Grace said, becoming

more curious by the second.

She didn’t hesitate to lead Xander over to take a closer look.

“I can’t believe it! Celia has actually produced such an amazing piece.”

“The use of color in this design is bold! The perspective is truly innovative. If it’s made into a product, I

can’t imagine how stunning it will be.”

“To create such a work, one must have a strong foundation. Professor Morris‘ students are undoubtedly

a talented bunch.”

“Ms. Hawkins, your future is incredibly promising!”

The crowd consisted of industry experts who couldn’t stop praising Celia’s design showcased

at the exhibition.

Celia was delighted to accept their compliments, and even Susan was beaming with pride.

The gloom that had been hanging over Celia from being overshadowed by Grace had completely lifted.

“Our Celia has a natural talent for design. Although she’s just a second–year student this year, she has

dedicated a lot of effort to her studies,” Susan commented.

Her face grew even more triumphant when she saw Grace approaching.

“In the future, our Celia will be pursuing her graduate studies under Professor Morris. Being able to

learn from him is a clear recognition of her talent!

“Unlike certain individuals who don’t have a clue, yet are still trying to get themselves involved,” Susan

said as a clear reference to Grace.

Yet she was smarter about it this time. She knew that Grace had a significant background and couldn’t

be offended easily. Therefore, she hadn’t named Grace.

But Grace still sensed the underlying tone in her words. She raised an eyebrow and didn’t pay much

attention to Susan.

Instead, her gaze was fixed on the design everyone was praising. She was completely stunned the

moment she saw it.
