Chapter 108
Phoebe understood the meaning behind Jack's answer, and her smile became more radiant. "As long as you say yes, I'll arrange the rest."
As they were having a pleasant conversation, Jack's phone suddenly rang. It was Patrick.
On the other end of the phone, Patrick sounded dejected and hopeless. He had asked all his friends to lend him some money, but he still couldn't gather 30 thousand dollars.
Jack comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. I'll find a way."
After he ended the call, Phoebe said with concern, "It seems like your friend is short of money."
Jack didn't want her to worry, so he tactfully changed the topic. "It's a small matter. I'll find a way to help him."
However, Phoebe was an observant person. She had gathered some clues from Jack's call, but she didn't say anything else.
The two of them continued chatting while enjoying their meal, and time flew by quickly.
After lunch, Phoebe said, "I'm full from all the food. Jack, do you want to take a walk with me?"
Jack would never reject Phoebe's invitation. However, to his surprise, Phoebe suddenly asked Jack to wait for her when they arrived at the campus ATM.
When Phoebe returned from the ATM, she handed Jack a stack of cash. "Here you go. This is the 30 thousand dollars your friend wanted!"
Jack was shocked by Phoebe's generosity. He knew that this amount wasn't a small amount for her. "Why do you have so much money? I can't take this."
However, Phoebe insisted on lending it to him. Her reasoning was simple. "I overheard your conversation with your friend earlier. I gathered that you're both trying to start a business. This is your dream, so I hope you'll do your best to make it happen."
Jack was filled with gratitude. He took the money from her and said, "Thank you, Phoebe. I'll return the money to you as soon as I can."
A sweet feeling welled up in Phoebe's heart when she saw how serious he was. "Okay! Don't worry about it. You can just pay me back once you have the money." When they parted ways, Jack couldn't help but turn around and look for Phoebe. Phoebe's graceful figure was standing quietly at the second-floor corridor's window of the female dormitory. When she saw Jack turn around, she quickly disappeared.
Looking at that beautiful back, Jack felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. At that moment, he knew that this beautiful and kind lady had left a deep impression in his heart.
It didn't matter if nothing happened between him and Phoebe. That radiant young lady had left an unforgettable mark on his life.
Early the following day, Jack contacted Patrick. They brought the money they had gathered and entered the door of TaterGames.
Isla kept things brief and quickly arranged for her team to devise a two-week marketing plan for "Panzer Saga".
After completing the negotiations with Isla, Jack and Patrick declined her lunch invitation and hurried back to the campus.
