Chapter 286 Small Vacation at Home 4 (1/2)

”Matthew, you know well that I have little time here in Miami before I have to go back to university, so if you can get me the money I have to get, I appreciate it.”

”Of course, I know you're busy this time, I'll deposit it to your account today.

”Thank you, then.”

It wasn't normal to do something like that, but Jake knew that Matthew could do something for him, not to mention that it would be Matthew's company that would pay the profit share anyway, he just had to send the money to his own account later.

After talking a few more things Jake left home, he wanted to be with his mother today because the week would be very busy for Jake.

Jake stayed up later talking about everything that happened at the university in those 4 months, they talked on the phone, but speaking in person was different, Eva was happy to hear that Jake had made several friends.

She was worried about Jake who usually didn't have many friends, he only had Joseph at school as a friend of his age, he was also friends with the players on the basketball team and on the American football team.

But it was different from the friendship he had with Joseph, not to mention that Jake since his last life when it was easier to communicate with people wasn't much of a telephone or internet talk.

Jake was the kind of person who believed that just face-to-face conversation was a real conversation, so when his friends traveled far away they usually stopped being friends, in this life, it would probably be the same.

Eva was also happy to know that Jake was playing normally on the basketball team and was happy there, she knew Jake had the ability and could choose from several universities to go to play in one so she could not accept if the coach did not give opportunities to Jake play.

As for the marathons she can watch Jake's races on television, she was thinking of setting up a television in the restaurant just so that customers could watch her son's races, Eva also learned that some of Jake's basketball games would be televised.

The other day Matthew had already sent the money to Jake, so he wasted no time and took advantage of his had to go to the restaurant to call Clara with whom he had not spoken for many months.

He thought about calling Tiffany too but thought it better to talk to Clara first and if things went well it wouldn't be too late to call Tiffany, Clara said she was busy for Jake, but when he said it was important she had to go to the restaurant.

As it was Jake who invited him he first arrived at the restaurant, so he saw when Clara arrived, she was much better than before and didn't look any pale and looked the same way he first saw her.

Even though Jake could see that there was something different about Clara, she didn't look as happy as she was before, even though she had recovered from the shock of separation and what Robert had done to her, Clara's heart didn't seem to have recovered from it.

”Jake, how long we haven't seen each other.”

”Yeah, it seemed like you had ignored me in the last few months, did I do something you didn't like?”

”No, you didn't do anything wrong, I really have been really busy trying to sort out the company situation and I'm not as excited to talk anymore.”

The situation of the company to whom it saw the reports seemed great since Clara was avoiding investing in the company in those years and yet the company's revenue kept increasing, they sold a lot more since Jake became known across the country.

Even though she was having a lot of problems because she didn't want the value of the company to increase but the revenue could increase, by the end of the year she was finishing the balance sheet, even if they had the biggest profit in the company's history in 1996. not even close enough to buy Robert's stock.

She didn't have a company like Matthew's where she could just have a popular product that with new technology and high-profit margins could make her a millionaire, the most expensive products she had were gym equipment.

But even with this equipment, she had to pay most of it to the company that creates the product and she couldn't put the price she wanted because her company had several competitors selling for the same price margin.

So business was different between companies, she had to rely on a line of tens or hundreds of products that had to sell hundreds of thousands of units for her to make a good profit as she had this year.

It was as Jake had thought before, maybe in her past life, the same thing had happened with Clara's company, as she wasn't sponsoring someone like Jake even though paying so little Clara must have given up on her company and sold it to the competitor.
