Protégé
In Protégé, Kennedy Kelly is an assured and savvy vice-president of Development and Land Acquisitions for a real estate development company on the brink of bankruptcy. She meets Robert F. Bennington, a handsome, affluent, shrewd and ruthless real estate tycoon. Robert is at the top of his game: with persistence and dedication, he's made all the right connections and has built an empire of wealth most can only dream of. He soon becomes Kennedy's mentor and encourages her to chart her own course as a real estate developer. Under his leadership and guidance, Kennedy launches her own real estate development company and learns to gracefully navigate in the development business. "She follows in the footsteps of Robert, climbing the ladder of success and reaching prosperity at the top. The road that leads to her triumph, however, is a bumpy one. Problems arise when Kennedy, who is the epitome of a woman who needs both sex and commitment in a relationship, falls for Robert, a married man who, unlike his protégé, Kennedy, can easily separate the act of sex from love. Inexorably, Kennedy finds herself plagued by desires that cannot be reciprocated and finds her self in struggle between her heart and mind. In Protégé, we see confirmation of the explanation of enlightenment that John Gray shed light on in Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus. Protégé also explores the secret lives of black men who, unable to reveal their sexual orientation, are on the DL: the down low.
