Chapter 284 Small Vacation at Home 2 (1/2)
”Anna is right Jake, I'm just glad to see you after so many months.”
”I also missed you, Mom, I hope that next year I may have more time to get home, after the basketball season is over I will definitely stay here a long time.”
Jake was even thinking about it, as he more than three months straight playing nonstop he knew he would have to stay a long time without coming home, so he had to enjoy it after the basketball season ended.
Not to mention that he had a lot to do right now and these things would just get more complicated to solve if it took many months to solve, so he at least had to better organize his time since from here to front his life would always be so.
Then they talked for over 1 hour and Jake took the initiative to go home so as not to bother his mother that he had to start working at the restaurant, He knew that if Eve could, she would stay home only and not work at the restaurant during this week when Jake would be home.
But Eva also had her responsibilities and couldn't do it the same way that Jake couldn't just drop the training and classes to go home for missing his mother.
After a few more hours Eva would finish her hours at the restaurant and go home, so Jake went quickly home with the taxi and just left his stuff before entering the taxi again and going to Matthew's house.
He wanted to talk to Matthew because he was sure that they had a lot to talk about after almost 4 months, he didn't have time to know the business progress of the company, but he knew that before he went to university the sales of digital machines already Had surpassed the value of the previous year.
As soon as he arrived at Matthew's house the housekeeper opened the door and let Jake in to go out to warn Matthew that he was here, Matthew had already warned his employees to treat Jake as they treated his own family.
”Jake, what a pleasant surprise, I didn't expect you could still come that year, I've been hearing about how you've been busy at the university, it looks like you're really going to be an NBA player from here a few years.”
”Oliver, I'm glad you're here at your father's house, I was going to spend later in your house, you seem to have been doing well in those months.”
”You also look very well.”
Oliver was really impressed with what Jake had done that year, he used to think that Jake was going to pursue a career as an entrepreneur and just play basketball and run for a hobby while he was studying.
But that year the things Jake did change Oliver's thought, Jake had totally shown his talent running in marathons winning many marathons that year and even won the Olympic gold medal and broke the world record.
After that Oliver knew that Jake would not stop running even after graduating from the university and would continue as a professional runner, this was normal after all he was already at the height of the sport even being so young, so he could continue his whole life Running and winning and creating a legend.
Shortly after Oliver learned that Jake was also playing very well basketball at the university, and still played well on the UNC's Tar Heels team that was where Michael Jordan played a few years ago, so Oliver understood that Jake could actually also become a professional and get into the NBA if you want.
This made Oliver quite confused, other people did not know, but Oliver knew well how successful Jake was in the business world even before he was 17, now with almost 18 years Jake could be considered a successful entrepreneur.
In addition to the stock market investments that Jake's company made that had given many profits, Jake still had a 5% stake in his father's company that thanks to Jake's counties not only fled from bankruptcy as he also gained more than 2 billion of sales last year and won, even more in that year.
So it was normal for Oliver to think that Jake would follow a career as an entrepreneur, he was even doing a course at the university related to administration and economics, now Oliver was confused about what Jake wanted to do when he was successful in everything he did.
”And Joseph? Did you come home for the holidays? ”
”He showed up at home for a few days just to visit, but then went on a trip with his girlfriend, I didn't like any of this because they're not married yet, but even Liza's parents didn't care so I couldn't say anything against this trip.”
”I went to Joseph's university to play a game a few days ago, but they said he had gone out for the holidays, so I thought he might be here.”
It was like Jake thought, even though Joseph spent some time at home on vacation he was now traveling with Liza, Jake knew that Liza was not with Joseph because he was interested in his family's money and really liked Joseph.
