The roars from the waitress at the Monumental Restaurant were fast drawing the attention of others who came to enjoy themselves at this exquisite restaurant. For whatever reason made her extremely rude and unapologetic towards Joe Cole, he couldn't tell but he was having it tough with the strange lady.“Excuse me! You can't just ask me to leave when I came here for something.” Joe Cole bashed her with his response, his voice heavy with anger from this rude waitress' disruption of his work and even more, insults on his person.The waitress scoffed at him, walked up closer with a mean and contemptuous attitude. “Boy, I don't care what you are here for, this table is reserved only for those who can afford it and you very much don't seem like one of those.” Joe Cole finally understood why she wanted him to leave for which she communicated so rudely. He laughed gently, “Is that so? Then you don't have a problem with me, I am just not ready to make any orders yet till my meeting partners a

The Carter-Seymour ladies sat glowed about by the illuminating candlelights that gave a soft glow to the dining room at Eve's Garden. The aroma of the freshly prepared dishes set before them filled the air, but Mercury's usual appetite and character diminished.The women cast a concerned gaze on her after Evelyn called out the usual energy of the beauty goddess. Victoria took notice of Mercury's somber demeanor and was quick to join her friend to enquire. “Darling, is everything alright?” Victoria's gentle voice broke the brief silence, her maternal concern kicking in.Mercury sighed, her gaze fixated on the untouched meal. “It's about Joe Cole,” she admitted without any intention of keeping anything from the women. It was a perfect opportunity for her to finally speak about it to the only women she trusted, and possibly clear her mind off the situation.Evelyn leaned in, her warm eyes reflected her understanding of what the young woman might be bothered about. “What happened, sweethe

Mike's exclamation halted everyone else, they were left in confusion as to what exactly was going on. Mike quickly adjusted himself and bowed before Joe Cole, “Sir, I…we are very sorry. It is an honour to have you at my humble establishment, please forgive us.”The spectators and actors all watched, stunned at the sudden twist of events. Whatever was happening here was something they never thought could ever happen. This was Mike Willis of all people, one of the most recognised men in the business world, everyone respected him. But here he was bowing down to a commoner and an alleged criminal.However shocked the others were, none was more shocked than Jessica who had instigated the whole episode. “Babe, what is going on here? Why are you bowing to this criminal?” She questioned sharply.“Shut your mouth, lady!” Rather than a soft response from Mike to probably tell her it was a joke, Mike yelled at her at the top of his voice, leaving her shaking in fear.Joe Cole kept his cool and a

Jake and his squad gathered together at his student mansion, the atmosphere was charged up with a mix of excitement and vindictiveness as they reveled in the news of John's unfortunate altercation with Alex Wayne which now placed him in the hospital bed. Jake, Marquis, Robert, Emily, and Cilla all sat together in a dimly lit lounge, their faces illuminated by the soft glow from the fireplace as they recounted the events of the evening with malicious glee.Robert who instigated the evening's event at the club couldn't contain his smug satisfaction as he narrated his role in orchestrating John's ordeal. “That sucker came into the club and chose of all the ladies to get romantically involved with Betty,” he laughed. “Why do they always gun for aims that are higher than them, huh? I knew Alex wouldn't take it too kindly to see John dancing with his girlfriend, and all I had to do was call him and show him evidence. Dude ran in like a trailer with failed brakes.” He boasted and they all l

At the conference room of the Sullivan Corporation headquarters, a tensed atmosphere with thick air of vindictiveness could be felt. William and Stella Sullivan sat at the head of the table, their expressions grim and vicious. They were flanked by several members of their legal team, their eyes scanning the room as they awaited the arrival of the Wonderstone Enterprise board members.The door swung open, the Sullivans narrowed their eyes with eagerness towards it, their jaws set in wait as the board members filed into the room. Among them were some of the most influential figures in the business world, their faces a mix of curiosity and concern as they took their seats around the table. They already suspected why the Sullivans called them for such a meeting, they were very much aware of his fall out with Michael Wonderstone.“Thank you all for coming,” William Sullivan began, his voice commanded the attention of everyone as he addressed the room. “As you know, we are here today to dis
