Chapter 60: Waste Of Money

"Christian, that's not necessary-"

"Aunt Sara, when I ask you to work for me, believe me, the work will be a lot... you will have to travel to various parts of the country, that expense will also be on me."

"What do you have planned?" already knowing the boy, Sara knows he never talks nonsense, that's why she gets serious and asks.

"I want to get at least 30% of a newly created company, they are just starting with their application, but it has a tremendous future that I'm sure will make a lot money... besides that, I'm looking at two more companies where I want to have a percentage of their stakes"

"What would be the name of that company?"

"Whatsapp, it's a cell phone application."

"How much do you want to invest?"

"From 6 to 7 million dollars, up to 8 million I can give if necessary for more than 30%."

"And the other companies?"

"Uber and Airbnb, both of them are mobile apps"

"How much money for each?"

"UberCab about 15 to 18 million, I want to get as much percentage of normal shares out of the company as I can"

"And Airbnb?"

"$5 to $8 million, also to take out the largest percentage possible."

"That's a lot of money Christian, are you sure?"

"Yes, plus I would like to invest in basic Tesla shares, about... 4 million dollars, but I need a financial advisor for all these purchases, do you know any?"

"Well... your uncle Jayden is a financial advisor" Sara replied awkwardly.

Looking at the cell phone, Christian thought 'How convenient."

"Is he working?"

"No, currently he is just at home"

"Ask him if he's interested in working for me, I'll give him a salary of $45k for 3 years... I still can't give you guys health insurance or the like, but Uncle Jayden can look at that and I'll pay for it..."

"..."

"Aunt Sara, I know it may be a difficult decision, as I'm still a kid... but please believe in me, you won't regret it in the future."

"*Sigh* It's ok Christian, I will trust you, we don't need to see our contract right now, I will talk to your uncle Jayden about your request, I will also look into the companies you want, do you have any priorities?"

"WhatsApp, I want to buy shares in Whatsapp first, make sure to contact them as soon as possible... they are almost done with creating the app, take advantage that no one noticed them... also tell them I have ideas to improve the app, at the same time I can offer help in programming and image of the app..... if they have doubts, try to arrange an appointment"

"Ok, anything else?"

"Auntie, if you have time to investigate Zoom, it is also viable to invest in that company".

'Zoom should be just starting up, it won't make much money for now, but in the pandemic, I'll come out on top' Holding his hand to his chin, Christian thought.

"How much do you want to invest in Zoom?"

"That I don't know, it's just starting up, they must do not have investors yet, offer about $5 million and see how much you can get."

"Ok, I'll talk to Jayden and see about Whatsapp."

"Thank you for trusting me, Aunt Sara."

"No worries Christian, thank you for trusting me" With a sweet voice, Sara replies.

"Auntie, when you need the money you can contact my mother, I will inform you about everything I will do, so I won't give you problems... other than that, if we get the Whatsapp stock that I want, create a contract where it says I will give you 1% of what I earn by selling those shares... if uncle Jayden accepts, do the same"

"Do you want to sell the shares you will buy?"

"Yes, you may not understand now, but it will be worth it."

"*Sigh* Okay, see you later."

"See you later"

"*Sigh*" Looking at the screen, Christian leaned back "What I want to invest exceeds my budget, but usually the talks last a few months... in 2 months I should have a lot more money with my books."

...

"Christian, look at this bag it's beautiful!" Picking up a Louisa Vuitton bag, Alan exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah, it looks nice" Smiling wearily, Christian agreed.

Turning his gaze, Christian met the empty and tired gaze of Eva and Hailie, who were stuffed with bags of different brands, Gucci, Prada, Chanel, among others "Then we'll go to Zegna to look at clothes for you guys".

Something Christian found interesting, is that Zegna, a luxury clothing store that in his world was for men, in this world is for women, but after seeing stores like Louisa Vuitton, he realized why.

Almost all of the clothes from these big brands are for men, with very little clothing dedicated to women.

Along the way he came across a black Luoisa Vuitton suit and bought one, at the small price of $25,000, shoes included.

Needless to say, Alan has already spent more than 250 thousand dollars on clothes, handbags, and jewelry, something that caused Eva's suffering when she saw such a waste of money.

"Well, I want that purse... that one too... Oh, that one there too!" Pointing to different bags, Alan asked for everything he liked to the smiling man manning the store.

One thing Christian found nice, is that these stores didn't look down on them for walking around with their obviously cheap clothes, they let them in and explained everything patiently.

"It would be $98,000 for the 4 bags, and the two jackets" Smiling, the man looked at Eva and spoke.

Lips quivering, Eva simply nodded, as her eyes looked increasingly vacant "Okay..."

"With that, I'm fine for now" Looking around the entire store with pursed lips, Alan nodded.

"*Sigh* At last..." Holding her hand to her heart, Eva sighed bitterly, fearing that this boy would want to buy more stuff.

...

"One turn" Twirling his finger, Christian looked at his mother earnestly.

Raising her eyebrows, Eva did a 360-degree turn, fully showing off her new outfit.

The woman looked perfectly sexy, tight black suit pants accentuated her curves, while on top her large breasts pressed against her jacket, but Christian made sure the suit shirt, though tight, didn't show too much.

"Well, you look perfect mom."

"Christian, and me!?" Turning quickly, Hailie stands in front of Christian and shows off her pretty gray dress.

"You are the most beautiful girl my eyes have ever seen" Smiling softly, Christian praises the girl.

Christian tried to make his mother wear a dress like Hailie, but she declined, saying she found them unpleasant for her taste, quickly choosing a suit.

"Hehe~" Hailie smiled foolishly, then stared at Christian and spoke "You promised that when we bought these clothes we would go shopping for games."

Smiling wryly, Christian nods "Yeah now we'll go."

Turning to his mother, Christian looks at her softly "You really do look amazing mom, you're so beautiful"

Looking in the mirror, Eva asks hesitantly, unsure "Really?"

"I don't know what others say, but to me, you are the most beautiful"

"That's enough for me" Smiling, Eva turns confidently and nods.

Having paid for everything, Eva and Hailie put on their normal clothes and head out to the street, full of bags from so much shopping.

"Where are we going now?" looking at the boy doubtfully and wearily, Eva asks.

"We're going towards some electronics store, Hailie wants to look at video games."

"Yes!" Hailie exclaimed, instantly regaining her energy.

...

December 3, 2010.

The days passed quickly, after the long shopping trip, Eva didn't want to go anywhere near that hellish place again, causing the family to stay half of the rest of the day at the hotel, enjoying massages while Alan went to the beauty salon, while the second half of the day they went for a walk to enjoy Central Park.

"Alan, are you ready!?" it was already 5:00 in the afternoon, and at 6:00 the awards started, Christian was already sitting with his suit on, while his mother took many pictures of the boy, while a big smile was seen on her face.

"I don't understand how Alan is taking so long!" playing with her PSP, Hailie speaks with boredom.

The girl yesterday was quite happy, they bought her more than 15 new games, a pretty good notebook, an IPad, and a new cell phone, as Hailie never had one, even Eva came out with a new cell phone under Christian's insistence.

"Men take longer to get dressed up, you have to get used to it" Undeterred by the delay, Eva kept taking pictures of Christian, more than happy to see him in an outfit that makes him look so cute to her eyes.

"But Christian took less time than everyone else!"

"I'm unique in this world, don't lump me in with the ordinary" With a smile, Christian replies.

"What's unique about you?" tilting her head, Hailie looks away from her PSP and turns to Christian.

"I'm the best at video games."

"You cheat!" Angrily, Hailie exclaims.

"Whatever you say" Waving his hand lazily, Christian just leans back on the couch.

"Ready!" Walking out of the room, Alan shows up in very different clothes than the rest of his family.

The boy was in a short black Gucci-branded T-shirt, exposing his navel, while over the shirt he wore a Louisa Vuitton fur coat. On his ears he wore gold and diamond earrings that Christian bought him, while on his neck he wore a white gold choker, highlighting his pink skin.

On the bottom, he was wearing black Prada pants, and for shoes, he wore black Louisa Vuitton pumps.

Looking at the boy, Eva and Christian opened their mouths for different reasons.

Christian looked at his clothes with some discomfort, but he knows that sooner or later he has to get used to the way men dress in this world, while Eva didn't know how to react, as she didn't like that style of dress at all.

The short t-shirt style that Alan wore was quite new for the time, women and men have been attracted to that style, being trendy lately on the internet.

"Alan..." Not knowing how to broach the subject to the boy, Eva spoke awkwardly "We are going to a formal event, that style of clothing would look bad there, don't you think?"

"What nonsense are you saying mom, it's perfectly fine" Smiling happily, Alan looks at his clothes with satisfaction.

'This midget will spend all my money when he's an adult' Christian thought bitterly.

"Just leave it, mom, he looks happy" Shaking his head, Christian whispers towards his conflicted mother.

"It's just... *sigh*" Sighing with defeat, Eva nods with a stiff smile "You look good, my boy."

"You look like a slut!" Hailie exclaimed mockingly, causing everyone in the room to freeze, while simultaneously turning their heads robotically toward the girl.

Alan was red-faced with anger, while Hailie's face turned pale as she realized what she just said, Eva, reprimanded "Hailie, apologize to your brother!"

"Alan, sorry I-!" Hailie tried to apologize, but Alan's eyes were already reddening rapidly.

"Stop it!" shouted Christian a little louder, frowning at the impending argument, then turning to Alan "You like your clothes!?"

"*Sniff*" Alan didn't respond, just sniffed sadly.

"Alan, I'm talking to you, do you like your clothes!?" Shouting a little louder, Christian looked seriously at the boy.

"*Sniff* Y-yes" Alan nodded weakly.

Changing his seriousness to a soft smile, Christian walked over to his brother and arranged his coat "Then don't be sad about what others say, if you like it, it's because the clothes are perfect!"

"*Sniff*"

"Besides..." Looking enviously at the boy, Christian speaks "I really like your clothes, I think I'll take them off for me..."

Looking up with reddened eyes, Alan whispers "B-but it's mine..."

"But you don't seem to like wearing it, since I see you crying... would you like to give it to me?" looking at the boy expectantly, Christian asks.

Looking at his clothes, Alan wipes his nose and quickly shakes his head "No, it's mine!"

"Oh, so you like your clothes?"

Nodding softly, Alan speaks "Yes, very much!"

"*Sigh* That's a pity, I wanted it" Sighing with defeat, Christian smiles softly and speaks to him "Then promise me something... promise me that no matter what others say about what you wear, you'll always wear what makes you happy, okay?"

"..."

"Or I'll have to take your clothes and wear them myself!"

"Yes, I promise!" Nodded Alan quickly, as a small smile was visible on his face.

Nodding with satisfaction, Christian picked up a slipper from the floor and turned to Hailie "And you girl... learn to respect your brother."

With a smile, Christian threw the slipper towards Hailie, hitting the girl's head directly "Ow!"
