Chapter 170 The Last Year of High School 5
"It's a shame you will not be able to come here to help after all you've been helping in the restaurant several times."
"Oh, do not worry, if you guys have any problems you can call me, I'll talk to my mom now bye."
After Jake left Lola sighed with relief and was all ashamed when she heard that Jake could not come anymore because of the school she was very sad that she ended up talking out loud, after all, Jake could think that she likes him if Lola spoke the truth.
Lola really liked Jake very much, he was different from the boys of the same age, he was handsome and took care of his mother very well, Lola did not think that a girl did not like him, but she knew that his family were only employees in this restaurant and Jake owned the restaurant.
As they lived in different worlds she thought they could not be together, moreover, Eva was older than Jake and if he knew she liked him, she feared Jake thought it was out of interest.
Eva and Jake took good care of her and her father, and they even praised her father's salary, and she did not want the relationship to be strange.
Jake, who did not know any of that, went to the restaurant kitchen, but although it was almost time to open he did not see his mother or Anna, so he went to ask Julius where they were.
"Hi, Julius, how are you?"
"I'm fine Jake, I'm very happy working in this restaurant and seeing that people like my food, I'm very grateful to all of you for giving me and my daughter an opportunity."
"It's us who thank you, it's thanks to your desserts that this restaurant has been a success, do you know where my mother and Anna are?"
"They went to the market, as they finished everything they had to do for breakfast they went to the market earlier to pick some lunch ingredients, but they come back before the restaurant opens for breakfast."
So after Jake waited for a while they came from the market the work of a restaurant chef was not at all easy, when they saw that Jake had come they came quickly towards him, and Eva and then Anna gave him a hug.
Eva could not spend so much time with Jake and felt a little bad about it, but Jake knew all this before opening this restaurant for her, and after a while, he would go to university and they could not see much of anyway.
For Anna it was different, she saw Jake now more than before because he came to see Eva several times, so she was just happy.
"What happened to Jake that you came in early today?"
"I think I'm going to come every day for a few days, after all, I'm going to start classes last year and I will not be able to come so many times."
"It's true your classes will start in a few days, I'm sorry son for forgetting that, but I agreed with Anna that on the days that you have a game I do not come in the morning to make the food for you."
"You do not need a mother, I'm glad to see you so motivated working here, I'm already big and I can do these things myself."
"Not the least of this I have to do, and I'm going to watch your games in the final after you go to university I will not be able to go more, so I have to enjoy it now."
So Jake laughed and accepted, he knew that his mother wanted to be present at these important times with him, and he was very happy about it, it was a pity that Anna could no longer go to any of his games.
"Do you need me to help with anything?"
"No, you can just keep looking, after we've started making reservations since last month, there's no such mess anymore, and the staff has grown accustomed to running the restaurant and they do not make any more mistakes."
Last month Anna decided she could not stand so many people lining up in front of the restaurant, at first she liked it because it meant the restaurant's success, but then she even started to get customer complaints.
At first, because this was not a classy restaurant and the prices were not high they decided to make a restaurant that had no reservation and that people could just come and eat but they did not expect the restaurant's success.
After a while, they even queued for dinner and lunch so they decided to make a reservation to see if it worked and it worked out very well.
The difficult thing was to solve the problem of breakfast, in the end, Anna decided that they would give some reservations to the hotels that helped them quite at the beginning, the hotels were very happy with this and even paid in advance for the reserved places.
So it was the hotels who decided who could go in for breakfast, and they put it in the hotel's reservation packet as if it were their service when there were places, the hotel staff would reward them for the best work.
So with all the places always reserved and with the accounting firm that Jake hired to organize the restaurant bills they had only to worry about preparing the restaurant's dishes.
So within a few months they had a successful restaurant and it worked very well, Jake was very pleased with that, every two years he would only have to use his skill of the second job Business Vision to know if the restaurant would be successful in the coming 3 years.
After staying one day in the restaurant Jake who had nothing to help saw that could end up messing up and so decided he would come and stay only a few hours at dinner time and then leave.
After all, he still had to train every day on the 50km track, he knew he was ready to run a marathon now after almost six months of training, but he still trained every day, even on rainy days he would run.
The coach of the athletic team at the school heard that there was a basketball player who would come running every day on the athletics track, so the coaches thought he could give some tips, he was very good at training the 100 and 200 tests m.
The coach knew that this was what Jake did because he did not bring any equipment, but he was shocked when one day he saw that Jake was running a marathon, not even the school trained any athlete for marathons and so he could not give any county.
Even though this coach was impressed that this 16-year-old could run so much every day, as he did not count how many laps Jake gave the coach did not know that was 50 km or he would be even more shocked.
Jake, who had nothing to do, remembered that he had to talk to Tiffany about the marathons, after all, it was she who had promised to help him sign up for a race, so Jake agreed to have lunch with her in Eva's restaurant.
After a few hours they met at the restaurant, Jake had a reservation at the restaurant at all times every day, if he did not wear it someday they would fit someone else.
Jake thought this was a good idea now that the restaurant worked with reservations, and never a table would end empty even if it did, this was the good side of having a restaurant with the cheapest dishes, there are always people available at all schedules.
"Hi Tiffany, sorry to call you like that at the last minute, we have not seen you in a few months."
"No problem, I hired a representative to help me with some things in the company, in a few years I'll put him as president to take care of things in the company, it's horrible to have lots of money and not have time to take advantage, I was not born to stay in an office. "
"But can not it cause trouble for you?"
"No problem, this representative is someone of confidence that I work for a few years, in addition, my father and I still have most of the shares in the company, so he has to ask me for any decision he makes and I will make some deals like patronage with you."
"If you think this is a good idea then it must be really, I called you here today because I want to participate in the Chicago marathon in October, I hope you can get a place for me."
"So finally it's going to be the first race, I'd recommend you start with a half marathon or a race with less visibility, the Chicago marathon is one of the main circuits, so the best runners in the world will be in it."
"You said you're going to compete to win, right? I do not think you have a chance in Chicago. "
"I also thought about running in a less crowded marathon first, but I want to see if I can be in the Olympics next year, so I have to start with a race known for that."
"If I can win in Chicago and then in New York, I think I'll have the recognition to be able to compete for a place in the Olympics without any scandal."
"Do you want to win in Chicago and New York? If you can do that, no one will doubt that you won the gold medal, but have you started training at least?"
"Yes, I started training as soon as I finished the national championship final, now I'm prepared."
Hearing this, Tiffany was impressed and agreed, if Jake had been training for 6 months he should know if he could win or not, at least to finish the test she was sure Jake could do.
If Tiffany knew that Jake could run 50 miles every day she would not doubt him anymore.
