Chapter 124 Change in Situation 2 (2/2)

”It'll be in the paper in the next few days, so good night.”

Jake did not want to get too involved in the call because he still had to call Clara and Tiffany, but after some thought, he thought it would be best to call tomorrow morning.

So Jake went to sleep well and relaxed after hearing this news.

The other day Jake called Tiffany and Clara to tell them about the good news the two said that after Jake called they could see the news in the paper as well, it seems that Eric had already done his job.

Jake decided not to go to school today, he would probably be a mess at school today, he told Joseph not to go too, and Joseph told Liza.

Who did not have a good day today was the Philips coach, he first knew about the newspaper that he would be fired, as soon as he saw the news he knew it was over, he hoped the school would find out about him, but then he thought they would fire him in private.

So he could look for another place to work, but with this news, he had no choice, as he knew this could happen he had already saved good money this year, now he was thinking of going out of the country to train a basketball team somewhere else.

Along with him, his wife was also sent away because it was she who recommended the husband even knowing he had this problem, of course, the coach would never know that if he had not gotten involved with Jake he would probably have this job for many years still.

As Jake hoped the school was a mess the other day, some parents came to complain and also had reporters at school, so some classes were canceled in the afternoon, luckily the president had been quick and settled it in just one day.

After everything was settled before the day was over the president decided to call Jake so he could talk to him privately, seeing the reports of the trainer he realized that Jake had been harmed even more had not left school, so he decided to call Jake to talk.

Jake did not know what it was, but it was the same way the president was the one in charge at school, so it was the president who paid his salary for those two years.

”Jake, it's been a while since I've met you in person.”

”It's my pleasure to meet you, Mr. President.”

”Well Jake, I called you here first to apologize on behalf of the school, I know that coach Philips has hurt you and some of your teammates a lot, and I would also like to thank you for not leaving this school.”

Jake found it a bit strange why a president at such a great school would apologize to him that he was just a student, and Jake was paid and had many benefits for coming to this school.

”You must be wondering why I myself being the president of a school apologize to a student right?”

”I'll tell you why I was there watching the game that you were a state championship champion in Middle School sophomore year and you know what I realized in that game? I realized that you could become an NBA player in the future.”

”I did not know if you could be a star, but a professional player for sure you would be, so I did not hesitate to pay you to play in Middle School, to show my sincerity I do not even include high school in the contract.”

”That was because I thought as you loved basketball you would play naturally and try to win without needing a contract, of course, I would never imagine there would be a coach crazy enough to get you off the team.”

”I know now you no longer need sponsorship from the school, and you can also go to a university without help, but you still chose to stay in that school and wait and that's why I think I need to thank you.”

”For me, it's very important to have a player who will be from the NBA having played so many years in my school and you are that player.”

So Jake understood that the president was betting on his future, and Jake thought it nice to be recognized, so he did not regret having stayed in that school.

”Well now I wanted to know if you have any requests to make, or any suggestions, I will do my best to do what you need.”

So Jake started to wonder if he had anything he wanted to ask the president for, it could not be too absurd, or the president certainly would not, so after thinking for a while Jake had a pretty good idea.
