Geneveive Tessa Robert
After several hours of reading through the proposals and sending rejection emails , I came across Kyle`s project proposal. Dad was impressed, but he didn't want to select Kyledue to due to our past. I had to remind Dad that our personal lives should not affect the family business, and I was also impressed with the project. It was better than most of the proposals we had been checking.The selection for the final three was actually easy. Kyle got a spot,spot, and two new companies had eyes for our all--inclusive STEM project for women and girls. I yawned, typing the mail. It had been a long day, but Dad ensured II took long breaks due to the baby. He didn't want anything happening to his grandchild or grandchildren like I always chipped in.After sending the congratulatory mail to the three selected companies, II drafted a contract for Kyle King thatthat defined the terms and conditions for working with the Roberts family. Once the transportation project kicks off, he will pay ten million dollars for resources and miscellaneous expenses,expenses, which will be accounted for. If he misuses it, he will be asked to refund the family.The profits will be shared according to how much the transportation business makes. makes. If there is no profit, any money invested by Robert`s family will be returned. There will be perks, bonuses,bonuses, and trips,trips, but they must be used wisely or the king's family will repay them.I smiled, adding some other terms that I knew he wouldn't read. Kyle was an impatient man,man, but if he had Xavier with him, he would be careful.I also made some corrections to the terms of payment before sending it to James. I needed my brother`s insight to be sure that the plan to start crumbling Kyke was on the right path.After spending an hour booking tickets for the grand opening of the Robert`s Tech project, I closed my laptop and officially closed for the day. Dad has left me since we concluded the selection process. He mentioned an urgent meeting that needed his attention, but I was certain he used it as an excuse to watch a football match with James. I could hear their banter downstairs.I walked into my room, pulling down my clothes,clothes, and my reflection against the mirror made me stop. The third month of my pregnancy, my baby bump was just a hard stump. Okay, I was adding weight in some places, but if someone looked at me carelessly, he or she wouldn't notice I was pregnant. It was good,good, though,though, because when I met Kyle King, I didn't want him to be suspicious but shocked that I was back with my family.My baby. He or she was going to be loved more than I was loved by Kyle, and when he or she asked about Kyle, I was going to tell the truth, not lie that he`s dead or travelled like mom suggested.I was going to protect my child from every harm and ensure he or she had the best things in life. The best family to rely on and unending happiness. If it was going to be a girl, II would name her Hope, because getting pregnant made me believe in God and in life once again. If it were a boy, I would name him after my grandfather, Nicholas,Nicholas, because of the kind life my grandfather lived and also because I had made a promise on his dying bed that I was going to name my first son after him.If they were twins, I was going to name them Nicole and Nicholas. Nah, I won't follow the crowd and use the usual similar names for twins. Hope and Nicholas. If they were triplets, I just had to wait till II saw the ultrasound results next month.`Your dad has been singing your praises since you guys completed the proposal selection. How was the experience?` mom asked, passing the bucket of popcorn to me.
Dinner was over, and James suggested we watch a movie together since it's been awhile we did anything together as a family. I had welcomed the idea with a scoff, then slowly a smile and now I was happy to be with them.I threw some popcorn into my mouth and said, `It was pretty cool and honestly, Dad`s the best teammate ever. He welcomed my ideas and taught me a lot. I think I must have jotted down tons of ideas on how to build a successful business from just listening to Dad.`Mum chuckled. `Yeah, your dad can be a teacher when the occasion calls for it. Did he help with the paperwork?`I laughed. `You know your husband, mom. He hates paperwork and staring at the laptop screen. You can imagine the number of times I had to print out his mail for him.``When I told you Dad was old school, you thought I was joking. Now, do you believe it?` James grinned, evading the pillow Dad threw at him.`Don`t agree to anything, dear. I am a tired old man who loves an easy life, and according to my optician, I shouldn't be staring at the screen for a long time.``Indeed, Dad,` I replied, drawing laughter from my mom and James. `Anyway, I need to tell you guys something important.`I had spoken earlier to Vera about my plans and the contract. She had been pleased, but she insisted I inform my parents so that they could back me up in case Kyle tried any funny business. Also, it was their project, not mine, so they needed to know, so I don`t do anything that will make them angry.`Okay. Is it about our grandchild? If you have checked the gender, right?` Mom asked, her eyes glowing with expectation. I answered first with a deep breath, then the words came forth, `No. It's about Kyle King.`Dad replied, `Do you want me to revoke his selection? I still have doubts about it, by the way.`Arghh! My parents and dropping into a conclusion before hearing the full story.
`No, Dad. I want him to be there because that's the only way I can strike him. I tweaked the contract to fit my purpose, but I need your guys' approval before we leave for Nashville next week. Please show him the contract, James.`Dad hummed, collecting James`s phone. After reading it for a minute, he passed it to Mom. I could almost feel their judgement. Their hushed conversations also made it feel like I had made a terrible mistake. I had to remind myself that what I was doing was right. `Okay, we agree with the contract. I am surprised you could come up with something like this, though. Well done, dear. However, there's a condition.`My jubilation paused. Why must there always be conditions with the Roberts?`You won't be going to Nashville with us. I prefer you stay in the background so that he doesn't know who is behind this. You should also know that you're pregnant, and anything that would make you uncomfortable needs to stay far away from you.` Dad replied, settling near me. `I know you really want to destroy Kyle, but you need to be patient. If not for the sense I see in this contract, I would have disagreed. Tell me one thing, though: what happened to your shares? I heard a rumour from a friend who visited Nashville, but I trashed it because you didn't tell us anything.` Mom said, watching me closely.Gosh! Gossips and their ways of spoiling people's surprises and special moments. I had to tell them the truth now, even though they just crushed my dream of returning to Nashville. I couldn't believe I wouldn't be able to see Kyle`s shocked face. That will be for another day.I spoke up, `Firstly, I am not happy about Nashville`s decision, but I see the wisdom. Secondly, I am sorry I didn't inform you guys about what happened with the shares. Kyle technically hacked into my bank account and withdrew the money. Everything.``What?` Dad yelled angrily. `When did this happen, and why didn't you tell us?`I breathed deeply, then replied, `It was a few days before Mom's birthday. I didn't want to disturb the plans with my troubles.`
`No, child. You should have told us. Wait, did James know about this?` mom asked.James scoffed. `She didn't tell me anything, but I suspected something was amiss when she wanted to be in on the Roberts project. Honestly, if I had known about this, I would have flown to Nashville to teach him a lesson. I can't believe he had the guts to steal from you.``What kind of man does that?` James scoffed, asking no one in particular.
Geneveive Tessa RobertI walked into my room, thinking about the conversation with my family. It turned out well, which I wasn't expecting. I had imagined my dad yelling and instructing James to call his attorney to start preparing a lawsuit, and I would also be roasted for keeping crucial information.Dad had insisted on speaking to the family attorney so that I could get a settlement, but I disapproved. I didn't want Kyle to think I needed his money or properties to survive. If a lawsuit showed up on his desk, it would confirm his opinion that I couldn't live without him. I had done well by not sending threats after he took the shares and the condo. I was also planning on returning the Porsche to him. I didn't want anything that belonged to him anymore.I picked up my diary and started scribbling down everything I wanted new in my life and my kid's life. I was going to apply to an art workshop and resume my painting. Then, invest time in taking Santiago`s free cooking class, and may
Kyle KingThe congratulatory mail came in on Monday. We celebrated in the office, and Ava insisted we throw a party. On Tuesday, the chief secretary of the Roberts family called and informed me about the details of the project and confirmed my availability for the contract signing.On Wednesday, I had a meeting with my mom, who brought up Ava's birthday celebration, which was scheduled for Saturday. Mum insisted I purchase the convertible if I can't afford something bigger.On Thursday, the team and I were busy with the arrangements for the project. I had to ensure that everything we were doing aligned with the requirements set by the Roberts family. Xavier helped out by creating innovative ideas to build the blueprint for the project.The Roberts family had decided that the transportation project was going to be purchasing ten coaster buses and creating a Roberts card that would allow commuters to enter with a ten percent discount.
Kyle KingThree weeks have passed since we started the transportation project, and the profits have been slow. I didn't know how to improve the sales, and Xavier didn't have any helpful advice to give, so I turned to Ava. She advised me to focus on the downtown citizens and then move to the rich folks environment. I knew most of them, but I wasn't sure they would like to jump in on the project. I scheduled a meeting with one of the street lords downtown, but it didn't work out.`I am tired, Xavier. I haven't made any visible profit since we started, and the money is almost gone. What am I going to tell James next month?`We were in my study room, going through the expenses and trying to balance the account. Somehow, I had spent part of the money on frivolities and forgot to settle some of the suppliers. They were on my neck now and had promised to report me to the Roberts family if I didn't settle them before the end of the month. The only way I could sett
Genevieve Tessa RobertThe admissions application letter came in like an unexpected morning rain in February. I had just finished listening to Vera after I had rattled about the delay in the admission letter. The DAP Films and Arts School had never delayed the release of their admissions list. According to the last announcement page on their website, the admission list will be released two weeks after the deadline has passed. This was the beginning of the fourth month, and they had yet to release it, which means something was wrong or they lied.Vera had waved my accusation and advised me to take it easy. They would release it when I least expected it, and I should stop worrying about them. After we said our goodbyes, I scrolled to their website to see if they had released
Geneveive Tessa RobertDad looked up from his phone. Aren't you happy about the news? The doctor said you will bebe carrying a beautiful boy and a beautiful girl. Twins! You should be happy because I am.`I rubbed my palms on my gown. `I am happy, Dad. I am just thinking about how I had a feeling I was carrying twins, and the doctor just proved us right. It's surreal, I believe.`Dad took my sweaty palms, staring into my eyes affectionately. `It`s a miracle; stop thinking or getting worked up, okay? Have you called your mom?`I said casually, 'Yes, but she's not picking, so I sent a text message. I am sure she will call once she reads it.``Alright. I am thinking you should travel to your aunt's
Geneveive Tessa Robert`That`s a great idea, Tessa, but I will need a proper analysis of your plan before I can drop my feedback. So, think about it and prepare an analysis of the business. You can create a business plan, and I will read through it.`I sighed. I hated creating business plans, but that's what he wanted, and I had to do it. I would have to do more research to be certain this business was going to work, then show my findings in the business plan. It felt like a lot of work, but it was possible to do. I just had to focus and ask James to help out.`Alright, Dad. I will create the business plan and revert.` I replied, getting up. `Thank you for today; I will be going to bed now.`He smiled. `It's my duty as your father to ensure that you and my grandchildren are well taken care of. I have told you that you don't need to stress yourself or worry about feeding, clothing, or shelter. We`re the Roberts family, and we always take care of our own, okay?`Thank you, Dad,` I repli
Geneveive Tessa RobertI studied him before replying, `Alright, since you`re being sincere, I missed you too. How was Nashville?``The visit was great, but the reports were not favourable, especially from Kyle`s end. Can you believe he's in France at the moment? He left his team leader, Xavier, to supervise the activities of the project.``That's bad. I thought the trip to France was supposed to be after they had made at least ten percent profit. Why did your team approve their requests?`He dropped his fork, focusing on me. `They claimed he sent a report concerning the progress of the project, and the administrative team approved it. I checked the report on our way home, and there are a lot of errors there. Some figures are exaggerated or missing. I don't know why they didn't check it properly. Also, Kyle claimed that the business has been slow, but according to his team, the advertising campaign Xavier created had increased the inflow, so they were surprised yesterday when I mention
Kyle KingI returned home after a week in Paris. Ava made every moment worth it. I visited a lot of places and checked in at the best hotels and resorts. I did some shopping there and ensured I bought items for my mom. The trip was worth every dime I spent, and I promised the manager of the last hotel we used that we would be returning soon. He was grateful because I gave his staff a generous trip, and the casino bloomed twice as much as expected when news got around that the famous kin`s family from the United States were in the hotel.To avoid unnecessary phone calls from Xavier, I changed my line to a private number, which I could use to text Christine and relay orders. She had sent several text messages about Jmaes visiting the company to know the progress of the project. I was a bit scared about his visit. He wasn't supposed to come until today for the general meeting. I had created a new report that covered my personal expenses and the profits I had gained so far. Thanks to my l
