Chapter 371 Business and Basketball 5 (1/2)

The restaurant was a huge success since opening and never had any problems, Eva didn't need any money knowing that Jake was a millionaire and only worked at the restaurant because he liked it, so he decided to close for Christmas and let the employees rest with their family.

So Anna could also spend Christmas with them as a family, Jake was very happy when she heard that his mother did it and thought it was very good for the other employees too, as she can do it in advance customers already knew the restaurant would be closed a few days earlier.

Even so, when Jake came home on the 21st Eve still had to stay at the restaurant for the next 2 days, so Jake could also continue training on those days to get even better this rest week.

Jake didn't want to bother Matthew and Oliver that they should be busy with the business of the company that had to close the balance sheet by the end of the year, this time Jake didn't need money like last year and didn't want to bother Matthew before he had the company's official earnings report.

He also knew that Tiffany and Clara were very busy with their business this holiday season, in fact, they were busy with their business all year long, having lost several years without being able to invest and just keep selling well because of Jake's popularity, this year was much busier for them.

The truth was that even Clara often thought that the company would eventually be sold to the competitor because of her incompetence and Tiffany who always supported Clara felt bad about it too.

Jake knew this and so decided to help themselves out having to lose a lot of money for it, but after that Jake felt that Tiffany and Clara were no longer as close to him as they were before, maybe they saw him as a business partner and not as just a friend as it was before.

Jake had heard that actually Tiffany and Clara didn't really like having male friends and even with Matthew and Oliver they had only professional contacts and not as friends, so now that Jake grew up and was no longer a child, like before they no longer had one. quiet relationship with him.

Of course, this was just a theory Jake thought after hearing a lot of things and seeing that it seemed like they were ignoring him last year, it could also be that they were so busy after he recorded the commercials that they didn't have time to talk to him.

Jake hoped his theories were wrong, or else he would lose two of the best friends he ever had, by the middle of next year the sponsorship deal would end if Jake joined the NBA and after that Jake would see if they were still friends as before.

For the next few days Jake spent a few quiet days just doing his training in the morning, on Christmas Day Anna came with some people from the restaurant, Matthew, Oliver, and Joseph also just came to enjoy Christmas.

It seemed that Joseph was much calmer this time and understood that he had done wrong on his last vacation, and he himself talked with Jake for a while about what had happened at his university.

Joseph was doing very well in class even though he didn't get as good grades as when Jake helped him with his studies, it seemed like he was really fine with Liza and even they studying at different universities made them less in love.

It seemed that Oliver had spoken to Liza honestly about the idea of ​​her doing therapy and surprisingly Liza agreed with Oliver that she needed it and started therapy to become a better person to be with Joseph.

This was an idea that had been suggested by Jake a few years ago because he really thought it would be the best, and it seemed that he was right because Oliver said Liza was really improving her personality and even encouraging Joseph to improve as a person.

So everyone made money on it and so Matthew and Oliver now started to like Liza very much and approved her to stay with Joseph because with her he was really getting better, so the two also thanked Jake who came up with the idea.

Joseph told Jake that he was also able to make some friends at the university and was spending his time there, Jake was very happy to know that Joseph was doing so well at the university and that they were still friends after that.

Jake was very happy to spend Christmas and these days at home with family and also his friends, he was sad because Tiffany and Clara did not accept the invitation to appear at this party because they were busy with work, but it was still a great day to him.

After that Jake spent another day at home and went back to college again and had a little party with his friends after Christmas, even though Jake had offered to buy their plane tickets to visit their family for Christmas no one accepted and they spent Christmas at Zack's house.

Because everyone studied away from home, Zack's family who had great people became their family, Jake always went home on holidays, but sometimes he would go to Zack's family home on weekends.
