Taking advantage of the break before class, Mira transferred ten thousand dollars from her personal account to Kieran.
"Kieran, this belongs to a classmate. Toss it in when the market opens tomorrow, and crank up the leverage."
When she had dropped over six hundred million that morning, Mira had played it relatively safe with a low leverage ratio.
Higher leverage meant catastrophic risks.
But for a mere ten grand, she didn't care. Even if it took a sudden dive and wiped out the margin, it was a drop in the bucket. She could just refund Elara out of pocket.
"Mira, if we enter tomorrow, is there still room for profit?" Kieran asked, eager to invest more.
"Yes, but the entry point won't be as sweet as today's. The margins will be thinner."
"Understood." Kieran's eyes gleamed. He immediately scraped together the rest of his reserve funds, bundled them with the ten grand, and prepped to launch it all into the market the next morning.
He practically worshipped Mira at this point. If she said it would print money, it would print money.
"Kieran, could you do me a favor and check if Ms. Brooks wants in? Bring her along if she does." In all the chaos, Mira had nearly forgotten about Lania Brooks, who had always been so dedicated to her.
"Don't you worry about that. I already pulled her in today." The two of them had always been tight.
"Thanks, Kieran."
After school, the moment Mira pushed open her front door, a mouthwatering aroma hit her.
"Rachel, are we having a feast tonight? It smells incredible."
Mira had never treated Rachel like staff. Rachel tailored every meal to Mira's specific cravings, constantly rotating the menu.
Mira never pinched pennies when it came to food. She made money to spend it, and her health always came first. If she had a sudden craving, she just gave Rachel a heads-up.
"Mason came to visit. It's his day off, so he wanted to show off his skills for you."
"Oh, Mason's here? I'm definitely going to indulge tonight. We're in for a treat."
"Mira's home!" Mason called out, carrying a steaming platter to the table. A rich, tangy, and savory scent filled the air. It was his signature Crispy Glazed Sea Bass.
