Chapter 9: Meeting Harland Parker and Zendaia.

"Hello, Sir, good morning. I've come to deliver you breakfast," the beautiful employee said." Oh! Okay, come in." Jack stepped aside to let her in.

"There are eight types of dishes here, sir. If you are vegetarian, then I will change the whole cart by taking it back," the beautiful employee stated.

"No, I am not a vegetarian; you can go back; I am in a little hurry." Jack was in a hurry because his class starts at 7 a.m. and it's already 6.45 a.m.

"Sir, I'll leave some dishes around for you if you were hungry." The employee was very polite.

"Yes, just do it fast."

She just placed two dishes on the table and left with the food cart.

Jack, after eating some food and placing important notes and books in the bag, took a cab to university. Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He reached the university by 7.15 a.m. in the morning and was already late for his classes.

He slowly entered the class from the back and quietly blended into the class. After the class, he was about to leave for the library.

"Mr. Williams, accompany me to my office." Mrs. Berkins is a strict teacher who loves each student, so it was a little disappointing to see Jack late for her class.

"Yes, ma'am." Jack accompanied the teacher, who was in her late fifties, carrying everything in his hand.

"Williams, why were you late?" The teacher inquired as she walked down the university corridor.

"Ma'am, I've rented a place a little far away from here; that's why," Jack replied.

" Money Ayeh, such a gem as you struggle with money, sigh."

Mrs. Berkin thought Jack had rented a place outside the university area to save some money, as the university area is usually packed with people and coats are enormous.

"Listen, boy, I'll help you apply for a loan. I mean, I'll be a guarantor. Take an education loan." Mrs. Berkins wanted to help Jack as much as she could. Jack was a talented student and was parentless; her son is also the same age as him, but he didn't get into TUM.

"No, ma'am, actually I've started a new business recently and it's going well. I've studied till night; that's why I was late to the class."

" Ah! Very good. I always worry about my little students. Remember, you're a decent boy."

"Yes, ma'am."

After reaching the office, Mrs. Berkin gave Jack 50€ to eat something good; in her eyes, Jack looked thin compared to the last time she saw him.

Jack refused to take money as he already had almost 50K€ in the bank, but as a gesture from a kind old lady, he accepted it.

Leaving Mrs. Berkin at her office, Jack returned to his class to get his bag.

"Who is that?"

"Fuck, he's handsome."

"Look at his clothes; he's maybe a rich newbie."

Jack shook his head at his own classmates comments; they couldn't recognize him. Jack smiled and left the class and went to the library.

After studying for 2 hours, his break was over and a class was about to begin, so he didn't want to be late. He packed his bag and left the library.

Jack ignored the stares he received for his appearance. Those who didn't bother to know him when he was at his worst—why would he bother with them when he's enjoying life?

After attending the last class, Jack was walking home, and he called Yana because he doesn't like to have debt.

"Hello Jack."

"Yes, Yana, where are you?"

"I am in my home; I didn't have afternoon classes today; I'll meet you at your hotel lobby in an hour."

"Okay, Deal."

Jack, after finishing the call, was walking towards the cab station; he found cab service nice and easy.

After boarding the cab, Jack went to collect his license. It's about time he got his license.

Entering the office, Jack showed his ID and paid 800€ to get his license. As he was returning back to his waiting cab outside the office, he bumped into someone.

"Hey, is that Jack?" Ryan was also waiting in line, but it was for driving school.

" Yo! It's Ryan, what are you doing here?" Jack recalled that Ryan was operating a car yesterday, but he appeared to be in the process of learning how to drive.

"Well, I am here to get my license; see you around, dude." Ryan was a little embarrassed.

He took driving lessons two times already, and because of his aggressive driving behavior, he didn't get a license; this was his third trial.

Jack didn't mind him and walked away, but his eyes twinkled as he knew a secret to get back at this bastard somehow.

"Nice, I can own a car at last," Jack happily said in a cab that was now taking him to his hotel.

Coming back to his hotel, he ordered food first as he didn't eat anything whole afternoon.

With steak and beer, which was top-class cuisine from a Michelin-starred chef, Jack was full with just two steaks and 4-5 bottles of beer.

Then he went downstairs because Yana would be there, and he had to pay her back.

He entered the lobby, which has numerous sofas for visitors and a bar large enough to accommodate 20–25 people.

Jack ran into a person he knew from somewhere.

"Sorry," the person said first.

"Nah, it's my fault." Jack realized it was actually his fault; he was looking around for Yana and didn't see the person coming.

"I've seen you somewhere," Jack said, looking at the man in front of him. The man was short but looked familiar.

" Yeah? Maybe" the man chuckled and wanted to walk past Jack.

" Hey! Harland, can I photograph you?"" Yana had just arrived, and after observing the man standing before Jack, she expressed her desire to take pictures with him.

She even pulled Jack in on one photo. Jack remembered where he saw the man. The man was in a famous superhero movie called 'Web Crawler.".

"Where's Zendaia?" Yana asked eagerly to meet Harland's girlfriend.

"She's in the washroom. You guys are boyfriend and girlfriend?" Harland seemed to be a very chill person and didn't mind Jack and Yana.

Yana grabbed Jack's hand and smiled at Harland and said, "Yes, we recently started dating."

"That's too bad; he's a cutie," a slim woman came to Harland's side and commented.

"Zendaia, nice to meet you." Yana was happy to see the 'web crawler' movie couple and real-life couple together.

"Nice to meet you as well." Zendaia returted her greetings with a smile, then, grabbing Harland's hand, she looked apologetic and said again, "We have to leave."

"Oh yeah, sure sure." Yana didn't mind; her focus was on Jack and her holding hands with him.

"We look better," Yana said, while still holding Jack's hand and looking at the backs of Zendaia and Harland, who were leaving.

"What are you saying?" Jack slowly removed his hand from Yana's grip and grabbed her instead.

"Let's go." Jack pulled her into the nearby table and sat down.

"Dinner?" Jack asked.

"Okay," Yana said.

"Hey, Waiter, "Give madam a menu card, please." Jack immediately told a nearby waiter to give Yana a menu to order.

"What about you? You won't eat?"" Yana asked.

"I've just eaten; I was hungry; I went the whole day without eating. You eat, and I'll watch you eat," Jack said while ordering him a Coca-Cola.

After Yana finished her meal, Jack paid the bill; it was around 100€ in total.

Jack took Yana to his penthouse, not with malicious intentions; actually, his mind was clean, but Yana's face was a bit red.

Jack, sitting inside on a chair in front of the fireplace, said to Yana, "Let me teach you math; you're weak at it."

Yana, whose face was red for some unknown reason, lost its red color, and a little anger was visible.

"Okay," Yana angrily said, although Jack didn't understand that.

Time passed quickly as they both started studying diligently, and it was already 8 p.m.

"Okay, Yana. It's very late; tomorrow we have classes together, so I'll see you then," Jack said while standing up.

"Alright," Yana also stood up, took her bag, and was ready to leave.

Jack escorted Yana out to her car and gently opened the door for her.

"Thank you," Yana said, smilingly sitting on the driver's seat.

"Give me your bank info; I'll transfer the money I borrowed," Jack said. He took out his phone to transfer money.

"Are you sure? You can pay me back."

"No, just give me your account QR. I'll send it right now."

"Here," Yana gave her account information; it was a QR code to transfer money.

*Ting*

" Whoa! Full 40K€? " Yana was amazed once again. In which business can you get 40K a day?

"Yes, Oh, I forgot. I need a car. I've got my license today, so I want to buy one. Which one do you recommend?" Jack, leaning against the car window with both hands, posed the question.

"Hmm, you're tall. How about an SUV? It's big and will suit your image," Yana suggested.

" SUV? It does look good; I want something that can go fast as well." Jack aspired to drive a fast car on an empty road.

"No problem, we will go visit official stores to check which one is better," Yana said.
