Chapter 438 - End of Time at the University 10 (1/2)

So he had to accept to go to Australia because he knew he was already delaying the recording of the film a lot, the actors in Australia started filming in April and they were expected to finish in August.

But because of Jake, they would shoot until September and Jake would shoot until October if necessary, maybe Jake was one of the only players who would like the NBA lockout, the other players would not like it because with fewer games they would not get paid and would lose popularity.

But Jake didn't mind losing wages or sponsorship money if he could have a few more months to adapt before the NBA season started, he could shoot the movie, run the marathon and stay home more because of this.

Arriving in Miami, Jake again did not go to Eva's restaurant, even though everyone said that Lola had already overcome the situation and had forgotten about Jake, he felt that he had to respect her and not go to the restaurant since after that he would stay a few more months before heading back to Miami again.

Now Jake even knew that soon it was very possible that he would start dating Kate, he liked her and Jake knew that Kate liked him too, the problem was that they hadn't yet had a chance to meet even though she had been together with his game.

After filming in Australia Jake thought he would have time to have some dates with Kate and he thought about asking her to date when that happened, he was a basketball player who had a lot to do and Kate was a singer who was busy in the year all.

So Jake thought about starting dating Kate now and in time the media would know it and accept it before they even had time to be together when they had time for it, after all, it was bad for Jake to have a vacation and not be able to be with Kate just to escape the media.

More than that, Jake wanted to start dating Kate well before the 2000s, because it was now known to the media that Kate had more money than he did even though it was far from true because the media didn't know about Jake's business.

But after 2000, all of Jake's and Matthew's businesses would certainly be revealed, because they would receive billions of dollars after the sale of shares in the company Cisco, so Jake wanted to be dating Kate for a long time so that no strange rumors start as the media loved to do.

Since Jake was at home Eva wanted to close the restaurant that week to stay with him at home, but Jake said that was not necessary, Jake knew it was not good for the restaurant's reputation to close for no reason many times.

The problem was that Eva and Anna were the chefs and also the ones who ran the restaurant, but Anna was getting older and Eva didn't want her to run the restaurant alone when she had to leave.

Anna was already 62 years old and that's why Eva was worried about her, of course, fortunately, Anna was in very good health and would still live more than 25 years with the health she had and could even continue working at that time.

Eva did not think about hiring more chefs in the restaurant because normally it would take no more than two chefs and that would cause problems in the authority they had under the cooks if they had a lot of people to send.

The best part was that the restaurant had a lot of profits even though it hadn't changed prices in the last few years, because of inflation and market changes the restaurant's profit decreased every year, but as they always had a full restaurant this wasn't a problem.

Jake thought about increasing the size of the restaurant, but Eva said that in order to do that they would have more work and would have to hire more employees, Jake thought a lot about the business side, but Eva knew she was not taking care of this restaurant to get rich but to do it her dream.

She already had a successful restaurant and considered the restaurant staff to be members of her family, so Eva was satisfied with things as they were and didn't want to change anything at the restaurant.

Of course, Jake knew that, but he had to ask why sometimes people can change their minds and have new dreams, who knows if Eva might want to create a restaurant chain or increase her restaurant to serve more customers.

His job was always to ask what his mother wanted and if Eva wanted to change anything Jake would do to make her happier, Jake could invest all his money and live a simpler life because of that.

But he knew that if it was necessary he could spend millions of dollars in a few days after Jake started receiving his salary on the NBA team and sponsorsh.i.p.s, Jake could start spending more money to make him more comfortable and for his mother.
