Chapter 230 Last National High School Championship 8 (1/2)

After hearing Jake and Lola talking Eva and Anna came out of the kitchen to call Jake to talk, they found it odd that Jake was calm while Lola looked embarrassed, but they knew Lola liked Jake and just called Jake not to embarrass Lola anymore.

”Son, you didn't tell me yesterday that you would come here today.”

”I decided today to get some rest from training today and I came to see Anna and everyone at the restaurant.”

”Glad you learned how to rest, I remember a few years ago when I found that you, besides training so much at school, still wore those weight machines at home, I got so pissed.”

”If I found out that you hurt yourself from training so much I would forbid you to do that again, but it looks like you have a strong body and luckily it never hurt.”

Hearing this Jake sweated cold with fear, he knew it was a good idea to hide from his mother who had been injured after the marathon, luckily she had not seen on television, otherwise Jake would have problems.

Jake remembered how mad Eva got when she found out he was doing bodybuilding even though he was so young, but he managed to convince her that it wasn't dangerous for him, Jake thought it over and knew that he relied heavily on the system risking getting hurt when it was new doing this.

Fortunately now he realized that it was good to give his body a rest, but he did not regret having trained so much when younger, only because of that he saved many years and now could be stronger than others his age.

”So you're really going to watch the final game, aren't you, Mom.”

”Of course I will, I promised I would, after all, I will also take Lola with me, after all, she supported you in several games this year, it's only fair that she can see the final too.”

”I agree with that, she's been working very well lately, besides, Julius sees working a lot in the last few months at the restaurant and can almost never take time off, he would be happy if his daughter could at least come out in his place.”

”In the next menus we have to get some dinner prescriptions that depend on Julius, so he will be able to rest more, Jake, enjoy that you came here today to the restaurant and try some of our new dishes.”

”I came here for that mom.”

”I'm sorry I can't go to your game this time too Jake, I have to work here and it's better if your mom goes, instead of me we can't close the restaurant.”

”I know Anna, thanks for everything you've been doing for my mom in the restaurant if it worked out it was mostly because of you.”

”No need to say that Jake, I really enjoy working here too and I'm very happy to go back to a kitchen again in a restaurant after so many years, and as you said when you invited me to work here, I consider you and Eva part of my family.”

After that, Jake ate several dishes from the new menu and gave his professional opinion and as a customer, Anna knew that Jake knew a lot about cooking too and accepted Jake's advice to change some details on the menu.

After all, even though Anna was an experienced professional and had experience running a restaurant by herself for many years, the restaurant she ran had a very different menu from Eva's current restaurant menu that had dishes from various countries, yet she wasn't completely confident in making a perfect menu.

After spending time at the restaurant Jake went to Mark's house, Mark lived in a simple Miami home because he was actually from another city in another state and came here only to enter Elite school because of his sports bag that He managed to play basketball.

This house wasn't even theirs at first, it was a rented house that was bought just a few years ago by Mark's family when Mark's father got a job in Miami, Mark was an only child and his father didn't hesitate to sell the house in the other city ​​and the whole family moving to Miami for the sake of Mark's future.

That's why Mark's mother didn't like basketball, she thought it wasted her son's time she could enjoy studying for a better future, Mark's father didn't think so and he knew basketball was what gave him the chance Mark a scholarship at a good school and now a scholarship at a good university.

Luckily when Jake came to visit Mark, Mark's mother had left, after all even though Jake knew she had reason to dislike basketball didn't mean he accepted being despised because of it.

”Hi Jake, thanks for coming to see me at home today, I know you must be very busy training for the final.”

”You're my friend, of course, I would come, the most important thing now is for you to improve so you can play at university after a few months.”
