Chapter 10: Cracking Nuts.
He wore a black shirt and white pants from Tom Ford and a black jacket. The days are turning a bit colder.
Then his breakfast came; it was all healthy and nutritional.
Jack, after eating breakfast, started using his phone. He wanted to know what car he should drive. Will it be a sports car or SUV, Yana suggested?
Jack likes SUVs; they are big and comfy, so Jack decided to get an SUV for his first car.
Jack, who was planning to buy an SUV now, was unsure about which brand to choose.
There are many different brands available, but as Jack was running late for his classes, he packed his backpack and headed to his university.
While he was walking towards the cab station, someone stopped a card beside him.
" Yo! Jack, Hop in; I\'ll take you to the classes, and I want to discuss something with you." It was Ryan who invited Jack inside the car.
Jack asked, "What\'s there to discuss?" Jack doesn\'t want to be inside Ryan\'s car or take any favors.
"Well, let\'s talk here then," Ryan got out of his car, which looked almost new.
"I want you to keep what you saw yesterday a secret; do you get me?" It seems Ryan was worried Jack would reveal Ryan doesn\'t have a license yet.
"What I saw yesterday? Are you still applying to driving schools? Lol," Jack laughed out loud.
" You!!!! Piece of shit, I\'ll see you at school." Saying this, Ryan didn\'t stay; he drove off.
"See my ass, you drug addict," Jack said. Ryan was an addict; he was famous for it, actually.
Jack took a cab and checked his balance.
[Balance: 85,000€]
After giving 40K€ to Yana Jack, he was still left with a significant amount of money.
Jack calmly looked at his phone, then called Emma. Today\'s classes were with Emma and Yana; Emma being his very good friend, he can\'t ignore her.
" Hello? Jack, Where are you? I am at our campus," Emma said.
"I am on my way. Alright, I\'ll see you on campus," Jack replied.
Jack then called Yana, but she didn\'t answer her phone, so Jack thought she must be busy with something.
Jack reached the campus around 6.45 a.m. He went straight to the classroom. Emma, who was looking around for someone, didn\'t even greet Jack.
"Hello," Jack said.
"HI, actually, can you move to the next desk? I usually sit with my friend." Emma didn\'t even recognize him, as Jack\'s transformation was too amazing.
"Emma, it\'s me, Jack."
" Eh? Jack, when did you become so handsome?" Emma was looking at Jack as if she had seen a ghost.
"Well, I don\'t know. Anyway, how was your day?"" Jack asked casually.
"It was good. It\'s just that last night I couldn\'t get any sleep because of my back pain; today I am seeking a doctor." Emma looked like she was in pain.
"That\'s too bad. Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No, it\'s too far from here; don\'t bother."
"It\'s not a bother. Let\'s go after the classes."
Yana was missing that day; Jack didn\'t call her as he had to take Emma to the hospital.
Emma and Jack, after the classes ended, took a taxi to the hospital.
Jack paid for the cab; Emma wanted to pay for it, but Jack paid it anyway.
"Do you have health insurance, ma\'am?" When Jack and Emma inquired about a specific doctor, the receptionist questioned them.
"Yes, here is the paper." Emma provided the receptionist with her insurance number and paper.
"You\'re good to go. Your insurance will handle the visiting fee. Proceed to the 9th floor, as room 906 is not available. The receptionist stamped the paper Emma deposited.
"Let\'s go, Jack." Emma and Jack went to the lift.
"Aha!"" Emma, who was standing with Jack, suddenly leaned on Jack and held his hand tight.
Jack also held her tight, as he knew she was in immense pain. Her back was hurting; that\'s why she was holding her back and needed support to even stand.
"Sorry, but I\'ll be carrying you." Jack carried Emma on his back and walked towards room 906.
"What\'s going on, Emma? Did you hurt yourself?" Jack asked, concerned about Emma.
"N..no, I didn\'t; it\'s actually been happening quite a lot recently; that\'s why I came to see a doctor." Emma, her face flushed with pain, spoke.
" Ah! I understand; it\'s here. Jack stood in front of room 906 and put down Emma; he held her hand tightly then went inside.
The doctor, a woman, sighed after hearing Emma\'s side of the story.
"You can\'t continue working as a waitress. You have to understand that your bone density is low and not enough for you to support you in an 8-10 hour shift. Tell your boyfriend to do more overtime. Looking at him, he\'s not poor, so don\'t strain yourself." The doctor recommended a solution to Emma.
"I understand, doctor." Emma\'s whole face was down.
"I\'ll give you some medicine and calcium tablets. Take them regularly and get out of that job." The doctor again reprimanded Emma.
"I understand." Emma\'s face remained down; she was working because it was necessary to survive.
The return trip was quiet as Emma seemed to be not in the mood for talking, and Jack didn\'t mind; life was hard, and Jack, whose parents passed away once, was in despair. Emma still has parents to cover for her, but Jack had no one.
"Tell your parents about it instead of getting all sad," Jack suggested.
"Nope, I can\'t; they\'re already in a pinch; I can\'t bother them anymore." As she said this, Emma began to cry and embraced Jack. She was scared. What will happen if she can\'t afford to study? Although TUM didn\'t require one to pay tuition fees, it takes up a lot of time in the day to study there, and living in Munich was not easy.
"How about I pay you 2000€ a month? I have a good business going on, and it won\'t be a problem for me." Jack wanted to help her out; friends are for helping each other.
Emma was a good-looking girl, and Jack actually liked her because she was kind to him when he was a nobody. He\'s still a nobody, but not for long. Emma doesn\'t even message him when he\'s in branded clothing; she doesn\'t care if you wear a brand or old clothes.
Jack really liked this aspect of her, so wanted to help out if Emma would agree.
"I can\'t take money from you," Emma immediately rejected the idea.
"I can lend you the money; you can give me back after you graduate." Jack proposed a suggestion.
"We\'re only in our first year." Emma was laughing at this point.
"I know, I just want to help you any way."
"Well, alright, I\'ll pay you back after I graduate." Emma accepted help from Jack because she got no other way.
After dropping Emma off at her hostel, Jack wanted to go back to his apartment, but after seeing the BMW parked outside his hotel, Jack knew trouble came searching for him.
As Jack entered the hotel, he noticed Ryan sitting in the lobby. Upon noticing Jack, Ryan stood up and approached him.
Ryan was 5 feet 7 inches, so when Ryan faced Jack, who was 6 feet 1 inch, it looked a little funny.
"So you\'re a big boy now, aye! Jack "Ryan was trying to intimidate Jack.
"What do you mean Ryan?" Jack asked, didn\'t get what the fuck this brat meant.
"I heard you stay here? Look at your watch. It\'s not cheap, 50-60K€ surely. Where do you get such an amount of money?" Ryan asked, his eyes sparkling with greed looking at Jack\'s watch.
"Lend me your watch for some days," Ryan demanded.
Jack smiled, then bowing slightly, he came to Ryan\'s ear level and whispered, "Get the fuck out."
" You!!! Come outside," Ryan saying this he went outside and waited.
Jack didn\'t mind, he just went to his suite and enjoyed a nice dinner, Then Jack looked through his windows with a beer bottle in his hand, and Ryan was still there.
"This motherfucker is still waiting for my watch." Jack, seeing Ryan, was not angry but instead was happy.
Jack changed into very comfy Loro Piana-branded pajamas, which were light beige in color, then put on a Hugo Boss overcoat due to the cold weather outside.
Ryan was waiting, with a cigarette in his mouth and chattering teeth.
"You\'re late; as punishment, you\'ll be paying my gas bill today, and I\'ll be taking that watch." Ryan was furious; he was waiting for Jack so long that his car went out of fuel and the heater wouldn\'t work.
Jack simply stopped in front of Ryan, with a smirk in his mouth. In one motion, without a hint of hesitation or warning, he drove his knee upward and connected to two ball-shaped things that were hugging Ryan in this cold weather.
*Crack*
Someone\'s nut just cracked.
