Looking for a chill 2 unit GPA booster class in the fall. Just need one more class for a round up.

They don't have to occur next fall I just want to build a list of chill classes

Never been a biology guy, but took a bio class this semester because it seemed interesting. My current grades are B+, B+, A- in the three preceeding exams. If I were to get an A, I would still be around the B+ range due to the awful curve in the class. Do you think it is reasonable/acceptable that I reach out to my prof & potentially request a grade bump? Is it possible maybe to go to my prof & ask "If I perform within this threshold, you will bump me to an A- because of upward trend + interest in the subject?"

For additional context, I don't come to class that often, but I'm doing a very time consuming internship concurrently with school + attendance not required & class is conducted in a large lecture hall. However I do maintain decent contact with this professor over email asking questions on the lecture (after I go over the slides on my own time).

Would appreciate all sincere honest input. Pursuing a career path that demands a strict GPA cut-off, but also do not want to be penalized for enrolling in a class due to pure interest

EDIT:
I'm adding stuff for additional context because it seems everyone here is very contemptous of people with this question.

Said questions I have asked are not clarification on class material, I actually expound upon the content and go further. I think it's stupid to ask about clarification for something that's right in front of y our face

I never said I was entitled which is why I am making this post - I care a lot about our professional working relationship

I have never asked for a "grade bump" before this!!! I have good relationships with most of my past professors because I'm typically an A/A- student. I'm just going into a very competitive industry in high finance, where I don't want to be squeezed out by Wharton/Harvard 4.0/Nepo students
