Chapter 96  Gut Feeling

Jack started going through the list of the Companies that Nicole provided him with and suddenly a panel flashed in front of him.

It was the same new panel that he used, to get full marks in his exam.

'Would it tell me the best company to invest in?' He thought and started reading information about the first company.

"Bi-Pedal..." The first company on the list was a cycle company.

"I am more inclined to invest in this company as it has a good sales record and good staff," Nicole said suddenly as she noticed Jack looking at the first name on the list.

Jack listened to her and then looked at the new panel, it was flashing red.

He sighed and then turned his face to look Nicole in the eyes.

"You like this company?" He asked with his brows raised.

"Yes, this one is my top priority. However, the money they are asking is too much for the percentage they are giving." She explained and looked at Jack trying to guess his thoughts.

"What do you think about it?" She asked.

Jack stayed silent for a few seconds. By now he was sure that the judgment of his new cheat was real and accurate and it would be better for him to believe in it.

"I don't like the deal." He said with his nose raised.

"Why?" Nicole raised her brows.

"One million dollars for a two percent stake in the company, and the sales dropped by three percent last month, I have doubts about this." He looked at her with his brows furrowed.

He can't tell how he should explain to her that it was a bad choice.

"It just dropped the last month, look at the previous month's growth, it's growing so much." She said showing him the previous month's income.

"You are right, but they are asking too much." He sighed and started looking at the other companies.

Nicole furrowed her brows at his words, however, she didn't argue with him too much as she completely believed in him.

Jack has always taken the right decisions and it was his money to begin with, so if he doesn't want to invest in this company then she would not go against his decision.

She valued his opinion more than her own, that's how much she loved him.

After searching through some companies, Jack found out that most of them were flashing red.

"You don't like any of them?" Nicole asked as she looked at him skipping through the list.

"Yes, they are all shady." He murmured and kept looking.

Nicole sighed listening to him, she has collected this list after much hard work. And now Jack wasn't even properly looking at it.

However, as she was losing hope, Jack suddenly stopped at a Company.

"Fix Electrics..." He murmured and looked at the company profile.

When Nicole saw him reading the company information with Interest, she smiled and then leaned in closer.

"This is a new company, they provide electricians online." She said while looking at Jack.

"Hmm..." Jack nodded and kept reading the information, while his eyes glanced at the new panel, which was flashing green.

"It's a high-risk investment, they are asking one million for seventy percent of the stakes, however, the company could flop for all we know." Nicole moved even closer.

"I think that this would be the best investment," Jack said and looked through the remaining companies, all of them were flashing red.

"Why?" Nicole asked, genuinely curious about why Jack liked the company.

"Just a gut feeling. It's all on you now, after all, it's your decision in the end." He said with a simile, looking at her.

He wasn't too worried as he knew that Nicole would take the best decision.

Nicole stayed silent for a few seconds after listening to him, she wanted to ask more questions but only sighed in the end.

"If you like it then ok, I will do more research about them." She said with a smile and leaned her head on his shoulder. "I hope I can be of some use to you." She murmured under her breath.

Jack smiled and then they kissed.

After a few moments of silence, Jack went upstairs to wake up Cassie.

Soon enough he sat on the sofa again while waiting for Cassie to get ready.

'I have to test this out.' After the incident with Nicole and the companies, he decided to check his power on other things.

'I wonder if this cheat can work on the stock market.' He thought and opened a stock app to invest some of his money.

He started looking through the stocks and soon enough he invested a hundred thousand dollars in a few new companies and closed the app.

All of those companies were flashing green.

'It takes time to earn money in stocks, I will look at them in a week.' He thought and stood up from the sofa.

After drinking some water he moved out of the kitchen, Cassie was standing there with a bag in her hand.

"Let's go." She said looking at him, she wanted to go to college.

Jack looked at her and then nodded. He then looked at Nicole, she was still hurt and he was worried for her as he still doesn't have enough power to protect her in his absence.

"You come with us too," Jack said moving towards Nicole.

"I think she should rest and recover at home," Cassie said, listening to him, she was genuinely worried about Nicole and she wondered where she would stay when they are in class.

"No, she has rested enough and she would be bored in the house, I think she should get some outside air so she can relax a little," Jack said while coming into her vicinity.

"You are right but where would she rest, while we are in classes?" Cassie asked as she also stepped forwards.

"I am not coming to classes today." Jack looked at Cassie.

Both Cassie and Nicole raised their brows at his words.

"You won't be lucky every time." Cassie blinked twice with one of the hands-on her waist. She was talking about the mock test.

"Yes she is right, you have to study for your future, otherwise you will fail your main exam." Nicole also voiced her thoughts, she was worried for Jack.

"No, just don't argue with me you two." He was strict in his tone, he was ready to upset them for a few hours, rather than putting Nicole in danger.

Cassie took in a deep breath listening to him and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"I was just saying because I care about you." She snorted and turned around.

Nicole looked at Jack with a worried expression. "You shouldn't be too rude to her."

She didn't want Jack and Cassie to fight because of her.

"Don't worry and come with us." He picked her up and soon enough locking the door he sat her in the Car.

After that, all three of them moved out of the house in the back car.

"You were going to meet Meadow today right?" Cassie said after some silence. "Would you take Nicole with you?" She said again.

Jack steered silently at her question, he wanted to meet Meadow, however, he didn't know how Sophie would react when she will see Nicole with him.

'She is gonna find out sooner or later.' He thought and kept driving.

"Yes, she can meet Meadow too," Jack said.

Cassie listened to him and nodded, "Come before the class ends, I don't want to wait too much." she snorted and started looking at her phone.

Soon enough they reached the college, where Jack dropped Cassie and started moving towards Meadow's house.

...

In Jack's old apartment building, outside his room, a girl came with some papers in her hand and then she knocked at the wooden door.

However, no reply came from the other side. The girl was none other than Mandy. Elma's sister.

"Why is he not opening the door? Has he gone to college?" She thought with her brows furrowed.

She has come here to give him his money back and she even had the apartment papers. She wanted to give him the apartment for the help he provided.

She knocked some more and when no reply came she turned around to leave, "Guess, I will come in the evening." She said and sighed.

However, as she was moving, suddenly a thought came to her mind and her heart skipped a beat.

She remembered that she threatened him to empty the apartment.

"Did he already leave the apartment for good?." Her heart started beating at a rapid pace.

She threatened him in ignorance and after that day Jack helped her and now she was somewhat fond of him.

She couldn't tell why, but she felt bad for taking his money.

Quickly taking out her phone she called her friend who owned the apartment building.

"Did the guy leave?" She asked just as her friend picked up the phone.

"Which guy?" A feminine voice came from the other side.

"The guy I told you about." There was unrest in her voice.

"Let me check." Her friend said and after a few minutes of silence, she spoke again.

"Yes, he did, it's already been a few days."

When Mandy listened to her friend she took in a deep breath and hung up the phone, a tear moved out of her left eye as a lump formed in her throat.

"Why am I crying?" She wiped her hands on her eyes and felt it getting wet.

After a few seconds, she slowly moved out of the apartment.

As she was moving out of the place in a bad mood, suddenly an old man stopped her in the way.

"Miss, why are you crying?"
