Reborn

18. Mother and sister

I'm in Boston currently. I want to go outside and explore it after meeting it. It won't be possible, so I want to do it now.

I took two bodyguards with me who'll keep an eye on me from afar. Even though I don’t need it, you never know danger may call before coming. Since I'm in a different country, I should take them.

I went to a shopping mall first, and I bought some dresses and a watch for Rowan and Uncle Sean. I brought a dress for my grandma and a matching suit for grandpa. I've never given them anything. I called a bodyguard and handed him the staff I brought. There's an art gallery nearby, and I think I'll visit there. I want one for my office.

Their arts are pretty cool. Even though I'm not into them, they still look cool though. I have to find one for my office that goes with the decoration and my personality.

"Y/n?"

"Mom, look! It's y/n."

I turn to find the owner of the familiar voice.

What the fuck Rose? And mom? What are they doing here?

"Y/n, why are you here? When did you come?" my sister asked, voice full of curiosity. My mother frowns at me.

"To see Art, of course." I shrugged.

"Join mom and me, y/n," she started to drag me to mom.

"If you're here, why didn’t you call us?" Mom said in an unpleased tone. Rose gave me an apologetic look

"Would you care? You never did, so what would change if I? " I spoke my mind without thinking. But why would she give me an attitude?

"Where are your manners? Is that how you talk to your mother? " she said angrily, her face red due to anger.

"Mom please." Rose pleaded

"Well, I didn’t have a mother teaching me manners, she was so busy ignoring my existence. Now excuse me. " I snarled and walked out of there. I could hear Mom angrily saying things, and Rose trying to calm her down and calling me at the same time.

I haven’t lost my calm in a very long time, but in this situation, I don’t know how I did, but I don’t regret it actually. Before talking about my manners, why doesn't she just look at herself? Why give birth if you aren’t taking the responsibility?

"What do you think 'Kryos' is worth investing in?" my uncle asked, sipping his vanilla latte. After finishing the meeting, we went to a nearby cafe.

"Give me some time to calculate everything, Uncle. I'll give my response soon enough." I said as I ate my pastry.

"Take your time, but think carefully," he warned.

We start to talk about random staff and continue eating.

Lying like a starfish on my hotel's bedroom, I'm thinking about the project. Actually, it's an international project. Its central theme is profit. They want to launch brand new affordable technology and schools in underdeveloped countries. They want to build their company's branch there.  They already targeted five countries where this will be held. Surely it’s worth a billion, and the profit will be a billion and will increase my company’s revenue, but the fact is, it will take three or four years and all my time and focus. I'll have to be present there to work on those five countries.

This will be my very first international project, and all the changes about this project are not something I'm used to. My uncle has brought me here to check if I'll come out of my comfort zone, take the high risk, or play it safe.

It's like proving your worth because thousands of people can take your place or stay in your shell. It's really risky, and honestly, I'm nervous about this one.

The companies that were invited to this project, 'Kryos', will have to submit their report next month, and those who are interested in doing so will be given a presentation very soon.

It's a golden opportunity to make your company worth billions and frame in worldwide. I know people will play dirty to get it, they won't let go of an opportunity like this.

"So, what do you say ', Kryos' is worth investing in?" Uncle asked with a dark gaze that was trying to dominate me.

"Yes." I replied curtly holding his gaze

"You need board directors' approval, what will happen to the company when you go there for years?" he is making sure I've planned everything before taking these huge steps. Board directors are another headache. They'll strongly opposed I've to have better plan for this shit.

Oh, uncle, my evil mind has already plotted everything, and you're the scapegoat, hehe.

"Why are you smirking creepily?" Uncle frowns, and I smirk.

"This is indeed a splendid catch, but what will happen if you are gone for years?" asked Kim Rohen, Kim Taehyung's father. This proposal is so beneficial that even my father couldn’t protest. Surely they had problems with that, how can a seventeen-year-old girl like me do this, but when I showed them some part of my plan, they couldn’t deny it either.

"I'll be appointing Matt Hastings as the COO in my absence. And if any complicated issues happen, Uncle Sean will take care of it. And will keep an eye here, so I need approval so I can start to work on it." Here is my card, Matt Hasting,s, who has been my uncle's secretary for maybe fifteen or thirteen years. Who could handle the company better than him when I'm absent? He has the best training under the Big Boss my uncle.

Everyone trusts his capability. And no issue will rise under my uncle's watch. I can finally breathe.

Uncle has already talked to Matt. My uncle has been sour since I put him to more work, and not to mention, he took his favourite secretary. Well, what can I say, Uncle? I'm your niece after all. Hehe.....

"The majority of board members approve please make a team and start work on it. It must be difficult, you are already doing a joint project and now this, but we have our trust in you, Miss y/n. All the best. " One of the board directors, Miss Yun Eun Bi, spoke on behalf of everyone, which brought a smile to my face. I politely thanked them.

I like this woman, and she also likes me very much. She is a hard-working, self-made, independent woman. She always supports me. And quite admire her actually.

I need to work faster on our joint project with Kim Taehyung.
