Chapter 577 - West Conference Finals 7 (1/2)
Jake wasn't too worried about that because everyone who was close to him was out of the stock market and he himself knew pretty well when the bubble would burst, even Matthew who had billions of dollars invested gave up talking to Jake about selling the stock and just trusted him.
Furthermore, Jake knew that even after the bubble burst if people understood the stock market well they would have time to sell the stock before it went bankrupt, only those who hoped the stock could rise again would get in trouble.
Fortunately Jake knew that at that time when the internet was not so present in people's lives it was difficult to find many ordinary people who would take risks in the stock market, so few people who didn't understand the stock market would do something like mortgage their house to invest.
Soon Jake's friends arrived and everyone ate together and praised a lot the pancakes that were delicious, after eating, Jake went to his room to call Kate, Jake would call Kate after two games so he wouldn't bother her and also so Kate wouldn't be mad at him for not calling.
”Hello Kate, how are you?”
”Jake, I was waiting for you to call me, I saw that your team won again yesterday, it looks like you're closer to playing the NBA Finals, with two more wins your team goes to the final.”
”Yeah, I'm glad the Lakers team managed to win those two games at home and we're going to try to win at least one away game to advance to the NBA Finals.”
”And you Kate? How are you? Are the shows going as good as you expected?”
”Yes, it's ok with me, the shows are going better than I expected, the tickets are selling really well and many shows are sold out, my last musical album is selling really well too and the record company is satisfied with that.”
”I'm glad to hear that, I know how hard you work to get these great results and how hard you rehearse singing and dancing for shows, you deserve all the good that's happening in your music career.”
Jake was really happy to see how Kate's music career was going really well, he saw in the newspapers sometimes some news about how Kate's fans were increasing, and that was one of the few things Jake didn't know would happen in the future.
Of course Jake already expected Kate to become more and more famous after she won an award at the Grammy Awards, but he was worried about Kate because he also knew a lot of female singers who had a great start in their careers and then ended up failing.
Jake always thought about how he could help Kate if her music career started to deteriorate, Kate was known for writing a lot of the songs she was successful with, so if that didn't work out well Jake would hire some composers who would be famous in the future to write some songs for Kate.
Jake even knew some songs that would be successful in the future and he had no remorse about giving these songs to improve Kate's success if that was necessary, he wouldn't do it to make more money, but for the success that someone he loved, he would.
”I believe you will become even more famous Kate, when more people listen to your songs, you will have even more fans.”
”I hope so, I want a lot of people to know me through my music, that I want to feel that my parents are proud of me in heaven and that they know they were right to support me.”
”I'm sure they're already proud of you.”
Jake knew that Kate still missed her parents who died a few years ago, Jake could understand what Kate felt because he himself had already felt how bad it was to see his mother dying in his past life, and it must have been even worse for Kate who lost both her parents.
Jake and Kate talked for a longer time and talked about how they expected to meet soon when the Los Angeles Lakers team made it to the NBA Finals, Kate hoped the Lakers team made it to the NBA Finals and Jake also thought that would happen.
Jake spent the rest of his day talking to his friends and without Eva who was resting in her room, William, Zack, and Haruto told Jake what had happened at the university after he left.
