Chapter 200: Oversleeping IV

Jason’s eyes shot open and he sat up seriously as it was finally time to discuss business and he was quite interested in what Adele had to say as it would give him a rough estimate of how much his performance was influencing the world around him and how much closer he was to his goal after winning his first league title.

“Speak then, don’t keep me waiting,” Jason ushered Adele to not keep him in suspense and say what she had started out to say.

“Okayyyy, let me first start by congratulating you on winning the league title, you deserved it,” Adele first started by saying, her words bringing a slight smile to Jason’s almost stoic face.

“Let me lead with the notion that your performances for Porto have not gone unnoticed and you’re garnering a lot of interest, both from football clubs looking for a player of your position to add to their ranks, as well as companies that are looking for an influential figure who can boost their sales,”

“There are a few unconfirmed rumors going about regarding transfers and you’ve received a few endorsement deals, so which one should we start with?” she asked Jason who was listening intently, his face a statue of seriousness.

“Well, I think I should start with the endorsements since I actually already have offers rather than the rumors I’m hearing,” Jason said without much thought as that was the better option for him since rumors were in the end, just rumors.

They were mere stories that had nothing concrete to them unless the rumors somehow became true, but until the moment when the rumors became true, then they were still nothing but rumors.

“Okay, you have five endorsement offers,” Adele acquiesced to Jason’s request and began talking about the endorsements.

“Five? What companies?” Jason was a bit surprised by hearing that he already had five endorsement offers.

“Well not all of them are actually endorsements... some of them are more like paid adverts... a one-time thing so to speak,”

“The companies seem to be adopting a wait-and-see strategy on you as despite your performances in the Liga NOS and even in the Europa League, you don’t really have that much international fame or anything, and maybe they also have the belief that your hot run of form may come to an end, especially since you’re still young,”

“Exactly the reason why they should sign an endorsement deal with you,” The answer to his question came by the mouth of Adele, but she wasn’t done explaining.

“Even if they do a commercial or anything, it’s all for show as their goal would still be to showcase your fresh chin, and you already have that, so at most a little editing and you’re good to go, you don’t even have to do anything other than to look pretty and collect the money,” Adele explained further with a smile.

“I wouldn’t be able to grow a beard within the time of the contract though,” Jason muttered to himself as it was obvious that he could not have a beard when he was endorsing a shaving stick company.

“Growing a beard?” Adele said in a questioning tone and drew closer to Jason’s face, seemingly looking at the bottom part of his face.

“Can you even grow a beard?” Adele asked with a harmless voice, but inside Jason’s head, it was like he had been struck with an arrow in his heart.

“Nice one, nice one,” Jason closed his eyes to hide his pain.

“What was the next company that brought an endorsement deal?” he immediately changed the conversation topic before he was hit by another stray bullet and coughed up blood.

“Oh, they’re a betting company called BetFuse or something, I’m not sure I need to elaborate on what sports betting is... “Adele began, but Jason once again interrupted her explanation.

“I know what sports betting is...” Jason interrupted her words.

How could he not know what sports betting was, his car key that was staring at him from on top of the table was acquired all thanks to sports betting so how could he not know what sports betting was?

Becoming an endorser for a sports betting company was a different thing for Jason however, but deep down, for some reason, he had a bit of an aversion towards it.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
