AT FEBRUARY 16TH

AT THIRD PERSON'S POV:

Michael just opened his cafe again and started going on his usual day at work when he saw two people who he did not expect to see so soon. It was Isabella's parents, his parents-in-law. Mr. and Mrs. John's. He never thought he could see them so fast. It was unexpected for him.

"Uh, good morning, Mr. and Mrs. John's. What a surprise to see you here."Michael said.

Morning, Michael. Yes, we decided to drop by and see where you went after we fired you. I heard you just graduated."Mr. John said.

"I did," Michael said.

"I am glad to hear it."Mrs. John said. "I heard that you not going back to Isabella's house too."She said.

I not planning to go there back. I do not see a problem living alone."Michael said.

It's like their daughter like yet another time told them some lies about him and now he has to listen to everything again. Michael was wondering if her parents were going to believe their daughter was cheating.

"Michael, Mr. John friendship 40 procent, Mrs. John friendship 55 procent."Wanessa said.

"Thanks, system," Michael said.

"Did you said something?"Mr. John asked.

"Do not worry about it. Let's continue our conversation."Michael said and sat down.

He understood that they came here because they somehow had found him.

"I am sure that they got someone to fallow you."Wanessa said.

"I guess so."Michael said in his mind.

"That's not what we've been hearing. Rumors of missed deadlines, sloppy presentations..."Mr. John said.

Michael instantly understood that his coworkers did all that, so he could get better.

"Well, there must be some misunderstanding. I take my responsibilities seriously."Michael said.

"We certainly hope so, for our daughter's sake. She deserves a husband who can provide for her properly."Mrs. John said.

"I understand it. I also can tell that if I am not good enough for your daughter, she can go. I understand if she wishes for a divorice."Michael said.

At that moment he saw how both of Isabella's parents froze down in shock. It was obvious that they did not expect Michael to say that.

"What do you mean?"Mr. John asked.

"I do not mind getting divorced if that is the problem," Michael said.

"We don't want you two to get divorced. We only want you work better, so she could have a better life."Mrs. John said.

"Your best might not be good enough, Michael. Our daughter deserves the best."Mrs.John said.

"Both of them lowered friendship."Wanessa said.

"I keep that in the mind."Michael said in his mind.

Michael understood their worry, but it made sense for him to keep his cool.

"I understand your concerns, Mr. and Mrs. John. I'll redouble my efforts and ensure that I meet and exceed expectations."Michael said.

As soon as they left Michael sat on the chair tired.

"I am glad that they finally have left," Wanessa said.

"I understand that you happy since I feel the same way. Can I use some of my money to make investments?"Michael said.

"You luck right now is 25 procent since you on level 2 but on level 3 it's going to be 30 procent."Wanessa said.

Michael sighed and nodded.

"I want to invest on a specific company."Michael said.

"What company?"Wanessa asked.

"It's named 'Rise-up' and I think it's pretty new one."Michael said.

"It's going up lately in their stock market. I can't see much of your current level, but if you wish invest it so much don't use more than 10 procent of your current income.'Wanessa adviced.

"I am glad that I have you on my side, Wanessa. I do not want to call you a system since when you in this form you one of the friendliest people I know."Michael said. "I also found a barista for us. She is my covrker from previous work. Meet Charlie."Michael said.

"It's nice to meet you all. Charlie said.

"Nice to meet you too."Wanessa said.

"I am glad that I can help Michael. He is amazing person. Charlie said.

Michael nodded and smiled before showing her around. Later on that day, he decided to buy some stock market from the 'Rise-up' company. He took out his laptop and found an address before going there for a small meeting. Inside the small building, he saw Adam Garcia. He was one of the CEOs around and with Wanessa's help, he got an invitation to talk to him yesterday.

"Good evening, Mr. Garcia. I'm interested in buying some shares in your company 'Rise-up' if is this possible."Michael said.

"Good evening, Mr. Smith. I remember getting in touch with your assistant about it. I was pretty excited to see you."Mr. Garcia said.

"I want to know some information first too," Michael said.

"Our revenue has been consistently increasing over the past few quarters, and we managed to maintain a healthy profit margin. Analysts are optimistic about our growth potential."Mr. Garcia said.

Michael smiled and nodded happily. He heard about them when he was studying business online, so he got pretty excited about it.

"Excellent. Let's proceed with purchasing some shares in your company. Do you have the current market price?"Michael asked.

"Yes, the current price is 50 euros per share. How many shares would you like to buy?"Mr. Garcia asked.

Michael thought about Wanessa's advice and smiled.

"Let's start with 50 shares for now."Michael said.

"I am glad to see that you are part of our firm now. How much often would you like to buy a new ones?"Mr. Garcia asked.

"I would like to add 25 shares every 2 weeks and keep it not sold. I sometimes go check on everything too."Michael said.

"I am glad to have you around Michael. Call me Adam. I am sure our work together makes this company even better in future."Adam said.

"I work at cafe called 'Fairytale' come to visit me."Michael said.

"Of course."Adam said.

As soon as Michael finished paperwork he smiled happily.

"I have a good feeling about this."Michael said.

"I can tell soon you be one of the richest around. This boss seems to have 80 proc friendship with you already."Wanessa said.

Michael nodded and smiled before leaving for his hotel room. It was time to get ready for a new day at the cafe.
