Be happy with sports 107 The Second Job 2

"So if the company that you are thinking of investing in is in the ones that I was suggested to invest in, I feel calmer because I will know that it is a known company."

Jake thought it made a lot of sense, yet he just wanted to take the risk and invest all the money he got from his sponsorship to invest because he knew from the future which companies would be most successful and which ones would fail, otherwise he would invest only a few thousand dollars.

Plus, with the internet bubble stock market going to happen over the next 10 years, Jake knew of many people who got millionaires just by being lucky enough to know when to start investing and selling their stocks before the bubble burst.

Few expected such madness that companies that had no profit were given millions of dollars valuation, and also only a few months before the bubble waited for market experts to prepare.

But before that many experts made the wrong predictions and because they were afraid to risk they lost the chance to win millions, but that's something for 8 years, without much capital to invest, no one could become a millionaire even if they invested a little money.

And even if Jake invested now he would have to wait a few years to see his money multiply, yet Jake did not see much trouble in telling Oliver about the company he wanted to invest so Oliver could get rich with him.

"Of course, no problem the company I'm going to invest all the money is Cisco, I heard something about a new era of information that was coming, and I think this company has the stability to grow a lot is valued in this new era."

Oliver thought for a moment and then remembered that he had heard about this company, but although this company was valuing a lot in recent months, he heard that the two largest shareholders had sold a large part of their shares and so investors were apprehensive about this company.

But as it was a company he had heard at least, it meant that Jake had really thought hard about it.

"Alright, Jake can leave it to me that I find the people you need."

After clearing everything Jake returned to his house, he felt bad about hiding something from his mother, but until he got something out of it Jake did not want to tell Eva this, and it was not only because he feared his mother would not allow it, but also to make a good surprise for her.

After that a few more days went by and Jake got used to going without training at school, after all, he still trained every day at home and with his imagination training too, and contrary to what Jake and the coach Philips thought the media did not it was imported that the High School Elite team was without the MVP of Middle School.

Everyone thought that was normal after all the team that was starting was the team that was the champion last year of the national championship, no team would put a champion on the bench for no reason.

And next year everyone would have forgotten Jake if they win this year, the only media person who really cared about Jake and was looking for more news about him was Eric, but Eric was busy with the Olympics and then would cover the NBA for a time.

In fact, both Jake and Philips coach were relieved by this, Jake also did not want to cause problems for his school just because he did not play so he did not ask Oliver to help him.

As he had more free time on the weekends for not being on the team anymore, while waiting for Oliver's response, Jake took the opportunity to spend more time with his mother, Eva was already going a long time for cooking classes, Jake also came whenever he could.

So they were all friends of the people who attended classes, Anna mostly Jake already considered as part of the family, Eva had already learned a lot in these classes and her dishes were much better after those years.

After the class of the day ended Eva went to the other room to change and Jake knew that she would stay for a long time talking to the other women, so he took the opportunity to talk to Anna alone.

"So Anna, how do you think my mother is now?"

"Eva is very well now, I do not think she would have her mood to get better, she does not have the stress of work to worry about, she has many friends here in class and she has you as a son to make her happy, do not you think you have more chances of Eva getting depressed again."

Even knowing that her mother's health was very good and always being with her at home, Jake still cared about Eva very much, after all in her past life he also thought she was very well until Eva ended up dying.

So he knew he could not stay calm even if he thought his mother was happy, so Jake took advantage of his mother's friendship with Anna and asked Anna to pay attention to Eva in class as well.

Because Anna knew Jake was just being careful with Eva, she accepted and sometimes told Jake some of her conversations with Eva.

"These days your mother is doing very well, but last week I realized that she was very worried about you, Eva thought you would be very sad to have left the basketball team at school, but after seeing that you were well she too calmed down."

"But something?"

"I asked her if after you got older and left home if she would want to remarry, but as you said Eva said it would not happen that her father was the only man she loved."

Jake knew that very well, in his past life he knew that many men he approved approached Eva, but she always refused them all, Jake did not want his mother to be alone, he hoped Eva would find someone she loved.

So Jake thought the only way Eva could get married was if she met someone she loved, and Jake knew it was very difficult to do even once in a person's life, even though she could not form a family after accident would get married if she met someone she loved, but that did not happen.

Jake thought it might be because of his bad luck, but he could not know if luck had anything to do with love, he would have to see if in that life that his luck could not be greater if he would find the right woman for him.

"Did you find out what my mother's dream was?"

"Not yet, Eva really knows how to hide things, I think if I do not figure it out by myself and do not touch the subject with her, her mother will never tell me her dream."

Jake hoped for that too, but he felt that if it was not something impossible to accomplish after a few years had passed that Eva would miss what she wanted for Anna.

After Jake left home with Eva, as Anna said his mother really seemed to be in a good mood, which made him happy too.

After going home Jake began to think that he would have a busy time in the coming weeks, and in fact, besides being an accounting firm to handle taxes, he did not need anything else, but Jake thought it would be strange if people found out without researching anything he just invested in a company and then got rich.

So having a lawyer would solve all his problems, but Jake could not count on Oliver for everything, so he had the idea to ask for a lawyer recommended by Oliver, and would have other things that Jake would need in the future that could only be made by a lawyer so that was a good chance.

[Are not you forgetting anything, Jake?]

"I do not think so, do you think I'm forgetting Fate?"

[Well I found it strange that you did not talk to me for so long even after you decided on what to do you do not remember that at the beginning I told you that you could have more than one job?]

Jake really remembered that but then the system said that he should not choose another job without thinking because he would have problems having more than one job, so after a while, he did not care about it anymore, after all, he already had everything I needed basketball.

"I remember what you said Fate, but I do not think I need anything other than basketball, if it becomes a problem then I do not even want to."

[I knew you had misunderstood something when I said that even though you could have several jobs not to choose anything, I was talking about other sports.]

[You might not have thought of it now, but with your statistics growing more in the future you'd be better off in many sports than most athletes in the world, just statistics.]
