Chapter Fourteen

Cori reviewed the first batch of candidate interview debrief surveys from the investors on the wide-screen computer sitting on her wood desk. Thank goodness they weren’t at this stage three months ago when the computer glitch happened. Trying to tabulate the survey scores without the new upgraded software would have turned her day into the longest Monday of her life. At the moment, things were running smoothly.

The projects catching most of the attention from the investors were in the areas of AI, financial tech, food and beverage, health care, IoT, e-commerce, and transportation. The proposal she’d read for an online shop featuring one-of-a-kind clothing made by fashion design students had been interesting to her, but the investors thought the concept still needed work on the distribution end and she agreed. But she’d also come across an e-commerce proposal that also hadn’t been selected for being unfocused. Were the two proposals actually better together? She made a note to put the candidates who’d submitted the proposals in touch with each other. If they came up with something together, they could submit a new proposal to the Carver Fund in the future.

When she’d been in Costa Rica helping the women in the collective, she’d worked on the distribution component of the project. The advisors to her and the rest of the students helping the collective had encouraged them to find synergistic connections and not be afraid to explore their ideas. It had been so rewarding to be part of the hands-on process.

Before she’d graduated, she’d actually written out a business proposal for a class she was in, using the collective in Costa Rica as a basis. She’d been disappointed about the B grade she’d received on it, but the notes for improvement that her professor had written in the margins had intrigued her. Grey had encouraged her to rewrite the proposal for herself using the helpful comments, but she’d been too busy with other classwork and hadn’t gotten around to it.

It was funny how Grey remembered Costa Rica and the collective after all these years while she’d forgotten about it…along with letting her father believe that Grey had left her.

It would have been easier if he’d have just gotten mad or even started an argument with her. Witnessing that disappointed look on his face in her kitchen and imagining what he was feeling was worse. After he’d said he needed a minute, Grey had kissed her on the forehead and said he’d call her. He hadn’t yet. What if he never did? Should she call him?

No. You couldn’t force forgiveness, only wait for it. Cori took a sip from her ceramic red-topped coffee cup with “Step 1: Drink coffee, Step 2: Take Over the World” printed on it and was only rewarded with a few drops. She’d need a lot more than that if she was going to take over the world.

She got up from the deep-brown padded leather chair and went to the small beverage station in the corner with a coffeemaker and a half-full carafe.
