Chapter 237 Preparations For The Olympics 3

Jake was very excited about becoming an actor in a well-known movie, but the other day he went back to his routine normally as if nothing had happened.

After all, the Olympics were approaching and he didn’t even know if the opportunity to actually appear in the movie could actually happen, but his training was real, that’s what he could count on to improve both in marathon and basketball.

With his daily training of 60 km, a day he gained more and more in his running ability, proof of this was that in the last race he had managed to maintain a steady running pace with the help of the system.

Many of these things he could only learn after running for many months or years, at some time he thought that he might not even need the system panel to know the right pace of running.

He also spent part of his time every day in the school library teaching his classmates who had the worst grades, Joseph and Liza were not in this group because his grades were already enough.

In the last semester of high school Jake became one of the most beloved students in both class and teachers after showing kindness by using his time to help many classmates, they regretted ignoring Jake in recent years.

Unfortunately, they no longer had time to become friends with Jake that even though he was still kind he was hurt by all of them, it was normal for that to happen even if Jake had a more experienced mindset they couldn’t have cold enough blood not to suffer from the pain. the treatment he suffered from his colleagues.

The players on the American football team were also very fond of Jake as a person and as a friend this past semester, but they didn’t have time to form a deep friendship with Jake either.

But Jake was still happy about it because it was a sign that when people got older and without such prejudice, it would be easier for him to make friends, so maybe at university, he has the opportunity to make several friends.

Jake also felt that Liza finally seemed to be maturing and maybe really changing to be with Joseph, Jake was curious how the friend who seemed so shy some years ago now had the charisma to make his girlfriend improve for his sake.

So the only person who was still at this school that had disappointed Jake so much was precisely his ex-girlfriend, he was very sad that she didn’t even try to talk to him after the breakup, even more, when he had his house invaded and she didn’t even have to appear to hear from him.

Jake had previously been heartbroken over his problem in his past life of having spent more than 20 years without a relationship, now it’s even closer, Jake knew that if it wasn’t for that he might already be dating Lola now.

So a few weeks went by and Jake’s routine still hasn’t changed, Jake was still talking to some friends a few times at the time, just Tiffany and Clara he didn’t talk too much, after all, Tiffany was always busy right now and even though Clara improved she didn’t It was more like before.

Just as she had told Jake until she could regain the actions that were in Robert’s hands she could no longer be happy as before, and she knew she could do nothing about it with Tiffany’s help for at least a few more years.

Jake had thought that if he could get Matthew’s company profit share again, he would at least buy the stock from Robert’s hands to see Clara happy again.

The same day thinking about his friends Tiffany had called Jake asking to have dinner with him, Jake naturally accepted but didn’t know why this time was a dinner as they usually talk about business at lunch.

The place was a restaurant Jake had gone to only once, it was an interesting place to talk about business because it had too few tables and the places were isolated from other restaurant customers, so everyone had more privacy to talk to.

When Jake arrived at the restaurant, it was still a few minutes to the time Tiffany had agreed with him, but when Jake said Tiffany’s name that he had reserved a table, it seemed that the receptionist had seen his savior.

Jake was a little confused by this but saw that even the waiter who led him to the table in the closed room seemed nervous, as soon as the waiter opened the door to the room Jake smelled incredible alcohol from inside.

"What is it? You must have brought me into the room with the wrong table."

"No sir, this is the right room, it’s reserved for Mrs. Tiffany."

"Then switch the room reserved for another without the smell of alcohol, this is not a service that a respected restaurant should offer, when Tiffany arrives, she’s sure she won’t be satisfied."

"That’s not it sir, the lady who booked this room is already in there for a few hours."

Hearing this Jake didn’t understand what the waiter meant at first, but soon understood why everyone seemed so uncomfortable, it seemed like Tiffany had been drinking here since a few hours ago.

Jake knew that this restaurant was very strict in politics that although the rooms were private and offered a more private environment, it was just for business, it didn’t allow any kind of intimacy between customers nor what was happening with Tiffany now.

But since Tiffany was an important customer for the restaurant they didn’t want to kick her out of the restaurant and lose an important customer and were waiting for Jake who was the guest to arrive to sort it out.

Jake understood the waiter’s intent and didn’t care, he quickly walked into the room and closed the door and went to see how Tiffany was and why she was doing it, surprisingly despite having several open and empty wine bottles Tiffany had not yet passed out So much to drink.

"Tiffany, what happened to you?"

"Jake, you’re here, so it seems like my drinking time is over, at least I could relax a little."

Surprisingly Tiffany wasn’t quite drunk yet and could talk to Jake, Jake was impressed by her ability to handle such alcohol.

"Tell me what’s going on and you’ll feel better than drinking."

"Oh, you talk like you’ve been through this without being old enough to drink."

Jake just smiled bitterly without answering, in his past life he went through very difficult times and drinking was the only thing he could do as he had no friends to forget about the problems.

But it never worked out no matter how much he drank, so he found that it was best not to forget the problems but to accept them, but only after suffering for many years alone.

"I really intend to tell you what I’ve been holding in my heart for years, that’s why I drank before you arrived."

"Then tell me."

"You know I’m 31 now don’t you? I reached the peak of my career a few years ago, now I’m just trying to keep what I have, you ever wondered why I’m still single after so many years?"

Jake had really thought about it, usually, working women got married a little later after achieving some of their professional goals, but even getting married later they still had some relationships in the meantime, but Jake never knew Tiffany had any relationship at all being as beautiful and successful as she was.

"You may have wondered that too, just like everyone else, no one knows why I did what I did. My family doesn’t comment on it thinking I want to achieve something else in my life."

"The truth is, I fell in love many years ago, I fell in love after I turned 21 and stayed in love until recently."

Jake wasn’t surprised to hear that Tiffany was in love, after all, that would be the only explanation for her staying so many years without a relationship, which was odd was that Tiffany never even talked about it to Clara, and Jake only heard Tiffany talk about Clara when they talked.

"Not even you should have imagined who I liked even being that clever, but earlier this week I decided to finally declare myself and end this romance at once, or the person I loved would accept me or I’d give up at once."

"You must imagine now why I’m drinking so much today, aren’t you?"

"You were right to at least try, otherwise you would be stuck in a hopeless relationship for several more years without knowing if you could be with the one you love."

"You’re beautiful Tiffany, I have no doubt that if one day you fall in love with someone again that person will not reject you, just choose carefully."

"You surprised me by saying that, I thought you would ask me who the person I liked or would tell me to keep trying to win over the one I love."

"I’m not very good at giving advice on feelings, but I know that if you were as decisive as you are, you wouldn’t spend 10 years liking someone without saying anything if you didn’t have a very sensible reason for it."

"Now you have declared yourself and been rejected, and you don’t seem to want to love this person anymore, so I hope you do what you have decided and don’t listen to others’ opinions about it."

The more Jake spoke the more he curled up with the words, he really didn’t understand anything about the affairs of the heart, he was just saying anything to try to cheer up Tiffany and comfort her.

Tiffany noticed this and also smiled, she was right to look for Jake to talk to him about it, she intended to tell him everything because it was important that Jake also knew about it and because Tiffany knew that Jake would never tell about it anybody else.

But she ended up being comforted even though Jake was clumsy, because she felt the sincerity of the words he tried to say, so she decided to really forget about everything and just leave things as it was now.

"I’m sorry to call you to dinner and not eat anything Jake, but I’m in no condition to eat and I won’t be good company for you today."

"No problem, the important thing is that you get well, I eat at home with my mother later, after all there and better than the food of many restaurants."
