Chapter 432 End of Time at the University 4
Clara would turn 34 years old in 1998, but Jake thought she still looked very young and after getting a divorce and not having to worry about losing the company anymore Jake thought she was much better in those years.
"Hi, Clara, you look beautiful today in that blue dress."
"Thanks, Jake, you look great in that dress shirt too."
"Thanks, sorry for calling you suddenly after you went to watch my game in the final of the NCAA tournament."
"No problem, congratulations on winning the NCAA tournament for the second time, I saw that you won almost all the individual awards this season, this was a really great season for you and your team."
"Thank you, I am really very happy with everything that has happened and I think I got everything I wanted from my team at the university."
"Clara, I called you here because I want you to be one of the first to know, this year I'm going to leave university and join the NBA draft, I think I got everything I wanted at university and most of my teammates team also left the team, so I think it's not worth staying another season at the university."
"Just as you may know, our sponsorship contract will have to end when I enter the NBA draft, I'm sorry I didn't warn you before, but no one could know before the NCAA tournament final."
Clara who hoped Jake wanted to talk about it with her when he asked her to talk, just as Jake said she knew Jake was making an exception for her and Tiffany by continuing the sponsorship contract with her even though she paid only a part of what the other sponsors paid.
Clara hoped that Jake wanted to win a few more NCAA tournaments and break his individual records, but it seemed that Jake knew what the best time to leave was, just as he said without the other players on the team it would be difficult to win the NCAA tournaments in the coming seasons.
Her company had grown a lot in the last few years and a lot of it was thanks to the help of Jake who became very famous in the last few years, Clara lost some years that could have made the company grow more, but because of the problems she had this cannot to happen.
Fortunately, in the last year and at the beginning of that year, she had managed to recover much of the loss she had and Clara had made all the investments for the company to continue growing in the coming years even without sponsoring Jake.
"I expected this, even without knowing so much about basketball, I can see that you could have been playing in the NBA with the pros for a long time, thanks for letting me know a few months in advance, so I can do some marketing campaigns before the end of our contract."
"I don't know if that will be possible this year yet, but after a few years you can use the fact that I have shares in your company as an advertisement showing that I still trust a lot in the growth of your company even if I am no longer sponsored."
"Probably after 2000 something big will happen and everyone will know about my investments, so if the public knows about it they will know that I still have contact with your company."
Clara thought Jake's idea was a very good one, certainly, if she showed that he invested in her company it would be an even better advertisement than saying in television commercials that Jake used her company's product.
