I Breathe Euro

"Father, did you know that Jack is a university student in Germany?" Maria smiled and stood up to let her father sit.

Fatty awkwardly smiled as he sat down, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was at a loss for words.

" Ahem! I will need some servants for the mansion; I plan to hire a manager too, and some bodyguards, but I don\'t know anyone here," Jack said, lightening the awkward mood.

"I can arrange that. You\'ll need about 3 servants to clean the house, 2 for gardening and 1 for cooking. That\'s how much I can summarize your servant\'s list." Despite his appearance, Fatty proved to be a useful man.

" Alright, How much would it take for me to hire them? Please let me know the total cost including your commission; I\'m ready to make the payment. One year in advance, you manage the whole thing." Jack said his face looked like his request was not from a neighbor but from a son-in-law.

Looking at the future son-in-law, Fatty couldn\'t just say no; he sighed loudly, as if he were doing Jack a favor.

"Alright, young master, The yearly it will take you around 1.2 million pesos," Fatty said. He looked like he was doing this for free and was very reluctant to do it.

"Father, Jack is now both my friend and my neighbor; can\'t you do something about such a high price?" Maria asked. Maria came in.

" Ah! I want to, but the domestic help is too costly," Fatty replied.

"But,"

"It\'s alright, I\'ll pay half tomorrow, and after a week or two, the second half," Jack stopped Maria, who was trying to persuade the fatty.

Maria looked at Jack in shock; it\'s not like she was poor, but paying in millions, but the indifference in Jack\'s eye shocked her the most.

"Alright, young master, Tomorrow your mansion will be free; you can move in anytime," Fatty said.

"Alright, I\'ll get going," Jack stood up, and his intention was to leave.

"It\'s lunch time, Jack. Please have lunch before you go." Maria also stood up; she wanted to know more about Jack.

"No, it\'s alright; I\'ve got plans for lunch today; maybe some other day," Jack said, then walked out of Maria\'s house.

Maria also came to walk him out; it was the first time she was fleeing something like this, as she was tall, smart, and first on anything she did. She always felt superior around the boys she met normally, but in front of Jack, she felt like she was standing in front of an ocean, and she was only a drop of it.

The way Jack talks and carries himself, she felt like Jack was too knowledgeable.

Jack started his car and stopped in front of Maria, who was still standing in front of her mansion\'s gate.

Jack rolled down his window and smiled at her; she also smiled and bowed to look at Jack.

"Thank you for today," Jack said, talking about the coffee.

"You\'re welcome. How about you come to my school? I\'ll introduce you to my friends." Maria said.

"Alright, when?" Jack agreed; he also wanted to make some friends in this new country.

"Tomorrow at 2 PM, don\'t go to the same street. You can go to the next street. There\'s a cafe named \'Manila Cafe Bistro.\' I\'ll be there," Maria said sweetly.

"Alright, then," Jack nodded, then waving his hand, he rolled up the window and drove the car.

"He\'s so good-looking," Maria murmured, her face blushing as she looked back at Jack\'s car.

"Come in, he\'s gone." The fatty looked at his daughter\'s face; he was actually happy for her but also worried. What if Jack, after using her young heart, betrays her emotion?

A father, especially a daughter\'s father, must shoulder such responsibilities.

Maria blushed, looking at her father. She immediately ran inside and closed the door to her room.

"Well, I\'ve made a little profit along the way." Fatty murmured, He will be making 100-200K in that deal with Jack.

Jack, on the other hand, returned to the hotel, gave the keys to the valet, and took a taxi to the hospital.

Jack visited the hospital yesterday; to be honest, the facility wasn\'t that good, and it would be insane to take such a luxurious car there.

Arriving at the hospital, Jack went to Katrina\'s father\'s room, where he didn\'t find anyone. He confusedly left and took a taxi to Katrina\'s home.

Jack was using Google Translator to communicate sometimes when the other person didn\'t understand English.

After reaching the alleyway, Jack looked at the field from far. As it was daytime, he could see the field; it was a decent-sized field.

Jack crossed the field and as soon as he did thatbhe saw many people, gathered around Katrina\'s house, seeing Jack they looked like they have seen a ghost, they were murmuring in Filipino language.

Jack used his aura a little and asked for a Katrina, and everyone pointed at upstairs.

Jack didn\'t want to go there as he was actually nobody for Katrina, so he waited a little.

There was a casket in the street. In front of the house, Jack understood that Katrina\'s father had passed away.

Katrina was on the top floor of the building; she looked outside because she couldn\'t handle what was happening in her house.

Her father\'s corpse wasn\'t even cold yet; her uncles have told her to leave the property by yesterday; her mother was sleeping with her uncle all these years after her father got paralyzed.

She was too devastated to talk, then her eye caught a glimpse of Jack, who was leaning against a tree.

Her eyes, which had lost hope, looked hopeful again. She wanted to go and hug Jack all of a sudden.
