Chapter 162 To See My Mother Happy 3

After doing the running and bodybuilding training Jake would always make his shots out whenever he could on the court he had in the basement, at first he did it just to fulfill the missions and receive the stamina bars.

But after a few years, this had become a habit for Jake, moreover, he knew that this could only do him good in his games, after making tens of thousands of shots from outside it was impossible that this did not help in his rates of correctness in the games.

And to train his general skills in basketball he trained every day in his training of imagination, after many months he had already learned basically how to play in the positions of Center and PF, so now he returned to do a more general training for all skills and in various positions.

It did not seem like, but Jake was feeling a lot of pressure to improve, he had talent, a system, more training time than everyone and even his physical stats could improve faster than the others, so Jake thought he had an obligation to be at least as skillful as the main stars.

In addition, he could have many more experiences in several different positions on the court, so he thought he had no excuses if he could not be better in the future.

So the next day Jake returned to the athletic field to train more, the last time he had managed to do 20 km in 70 minutes easily, so he would start with that distance again.

Jake managed to easily make the 20 km in 70 minutes again, so he felt he could go to the next stage of training, the other day he tried to do 30 km when he finished was very tired and had done in 115 minutes.

It was 10 minutes longer than he was walking, so he felt the difficulty in his goal of winning a marathon, after all, it was difficult to even finish this marathon when the training week ended he managed to do the 30 km in 105 minutes, but he still felt very tired.

Even so, he was a bit happy about it because he could probably do 25km even faster than he was doing now and then eat a bar of stamina and he would end the marathon in a good time.

Even though he wanted to try to improve his racing time, even more, Jake believed that in 6 years or less he could manage to win the marathon even without eating a bar of stamina, only then he could be proud to race and he would still be 22.

Of course Jake was not arrogant in thinking that all this was just his skill and effort, he knew that without the system he could not possibly succeed even if he trained for another 20 years.

The other day while he was preparing to train again Joseph called Jake to go out and talk a little, so Jake ended up accepting how he did not spend much time with his friend and also he had no competition to do soon.

Joseph called Jake to go to a diner, they had not been in a dinner for a long time because Joseph stopped eating snacks after he decided to lose weight even after the nutritionist said he could eat again without being afraid to fatten him easily I did not want to risk it.

"Hi Joseph, finally decided to eat again normally, I said that you could end up sick if you did not eat anything you wanted for fear of getting fat."

"I just wanted to wait a little longer to be sure, you know how easy it is to get fat after you’ve just lost weight, is the accordion effect I heard."

"Now you’re almost married, you do not have to worry so much about looks, Hahaha."

"Now that I have to take care of myself, even more, congratulations for the national championship and the MVP award, you deserve it, now I’m sure the school regrets having left you two years off the team."

"Thank you, I’m sorry if I was more relaxed now that I won this trophy, it was like it was something I had to do, now I can rest easy to play next year."

"You say that more next year you’re struggling again to win and you get stressed again, you’re the type you can not stop while you know you can do it."

"You know me well, but I said I’d be calmer and not that I would not try to win, I think we can win by playing more quietly."

"I knew you made a restaurant to fulfill a dream of your mother, very cool it, I was sad that I was not invited to the opening."

"You are well informed, few people know this yet, but you have not had any opening yet, the inauguration will only be in a few months because the last details are being agreed, when the time comes your family will be invited."

"And how’s your date with Liza, is everything okay?"

"Yes it’s okay, we’re going slowly, after all, next year we have to decide which university to go to and we do not know if we’ll have to be separated by the time of college or if we can study together."

"Your grade I know is enough to get into any university, but what is it like at school?"

"She’s like me, she’s among the top 10 in her room, I mean it depends on the universities and also what course we’ll do."

"You’re going to do Business Administration, are not you? It’s her?"

"Yes, I’m going to do administration so I can learn how to take care of my grandfather’s company in the future, but Liza still does not know what she’s going to do, she thought about doing journalism, but she gave up and now she’s thinking about what to do."

Jake did not say anything, but he also thought Liza would not get anything in journalism, but if that’s what she wanted she should not try to do something so different, it was something he did not want to get involved with, and Jake did not think he had risk of Joseph and Liza separating even if they are 4 years apart.

Jake knew how old-fashioned girls were after they chose someone to stay, it was difficult for them to change their minds, and Joseph had a hard time finding someone he liked too, so Jake did not think he would change his girlfriend so easily.

After that, they talked for a long time and were each to their own home, Joseph had also taken out his driver’s license too after he saw Jake driving, he thought it would be best to take Liza out.

Jake saw that Joseph called him to talk because he was stressed with the last year of school coming, it was like he said he depended more on the university than his will and Liza, in that case, Jake was luckier because he could choose the university he wanted and he did not have to worry about a girlfriend.

He would find it cool if he could join the same university as Joseph, but they would not do the same course and Joseph had his girlfriend now, so Jake would not insist on studying together with his friend, after all, Jake was a friend of Oliver and Matthew too, it was impossible that they would cease to be friends just by studying at different universities.

Since he had missed this training day anyway he decided to see what his mother and Anna were doing, after a week they were talking they should have some more things ready.

And really it was so, after Eva said she had no restaurant in mind Anna began to suggest several things showing how she had more experience on the subject, Eva just as Jake had said she did not want a high-class restaurant.

She also did not mind having world recognition with Michelin stars, but it was not only because she had a simpler mentality, but because when they were traveling in Europe Jake took her mother to some restaurants that had Michelin stars.

Eva did not like it very much because she thought that in some restaurants the food was not tasty and in others, she had little food, only a few restaurants with Michelin stars really pleased Eva, she thought the food was the best she had ever eaten.

When Eva complained to Jake that some Michelin starred restaurants did not have tasty food Jake told her that all the world’s greatest chefs are struggling to get that recognition and some even commit suicide when they lose their stars or when they win for fear of going back to mediocrity.

And they agreed it should not be for that much, but Jake knew it was because of the pressure and stress of having a very high goal that does not just depend on the chef and also the evaluator for that dream to be realized.

After that Eva was afraid to be like these chefs and did not want to have a luxury restaurant, Anna said that it could not also be a popular restaurant because it would not pay salaries and vendors and would also be a waste of the restaurant building and the location.

So they decided it would be for the upper middle class, so the dishes would be more complete and the price would be acceptable, as the location was near hotels that did not provide breakfast service or the service was bad, they decided to make a Full English Breakfast in the morning.

At lunch and dinner, it would be with various dishes that Eve experimented on the trips she had with Jake, Anna did not like the idea of having dishes from Germany and Spain, Eva said she wanted at least some dishes from those countries.

So Anna accepted and completed the discussion about the restaurant menu, but the menu would have to be seen better then, at least they would know which vendors would need to hire and also the kitchen staff who would be the sous chef, cooks, assistants among others.

It would be much harder for Anna to find good professionals because the salaries would not be as high as the top restaurants.
