Kelvin got a bit distracted from his daughter and her friends when his assistant told him who the two guests were that he mistook for his staff members. “You said what? They are who?” He asked just to be sure before totally digressing his attention towards that end.“This is Joe Cole and his assistant, Rachael Donald, he is the president of Cole Enterprise you were supposed to meet with.” The assistant reiterates what he had said earlier.Kelvin's attention swiftly turned to Joe Cole and Rachael, he couldn't ignore them because they were there for business. “Excuse me, honey. Daddy will be back in no time.” He whispered to his daughter and kissed her forehead. “Girls, just give us a second.” He also announced it to the other girls as he took a brief break from his conversation with them.“Hello, Mr Cole,” Mr Kelvin stood up and stretched out his hand to shake Joe Cole. “You're young, I didn't expect you to be such a man.” They shook hands and laughed at his surprised reaction to Joe C
Watching his daughter's reaction to Joe Cole's gift, Mr Kelvin couldn't help but smile so bright. He was sold to the idea of Joe Cole even without really knowing him as a person. Never had he seen his daughter this excited, especially since the unfortunate death of her mother. As a father who cares so much about his daughter to take good care of her, there was nothing he wouldn't do to see her this excited, and though he had done the most he could every time he could, nothing beats this very moment he was watching. The thirteen-year-old was off the charts, excited about the $3 million silver and 12-carat diamond necklace Joe Cole gifted her plus, it was the image of her favourite creature after her father and mother. Kelsey's obsession with her pet horse was well known by all who were close to her, she treated it like her best friend. And whilst the crafting of her pet horse with diamonds in a pendant was amazing, the most amazing was the fact that no one ever gifted her anything wor
The commotion on that side of the party was becoming too much already, attention was garnering from other areas towards them as the other guests wondered what was happening with the celebrant and her table. The involvement of the other parents into the situation made things worse, they didn't take it as quietly as the others, they were more of the pompous and contemptuous kind and so were their children. One of the mothers, after hearing the report, took it to another level by laughing hard at the man she saw, the man they claimed was the Bugatti Man. After her laughter, she made her comment which further confused everyone. “He is the Bugatti Man…” she said out, taking the matter a little more seriously and making the others think it so. However, the completion of her statement shattered everyone. “And I am the Queen.” She erupted into laughter again, so did her daughter and the other girl. Kelsey and Kelly felt terribly bad, everyone soon thought Kelly was just saying things, yet,
Joe Cole had just blown a dying matter back to life and set it ablaze. Rachael's smile gave the most confusing experience to everyone else, they couldn't understand why this poor young lad wanted to toy with people he knew nothing about. The Bostons and the Normans were a feared family in many elite circles, almost as much as the Sullivans. The former were a family of political dynasty and have ties within the government at all levels, even with President Carter. The latter were a family of banking dynasty, they run the most powerful banks in the country and beyond, they could crumble empires at will and their opponents feared them. Both families were multi-billionaires, much richer than Kelvin.Kelvin couldn't stand the catastrophe Joe Cole was bringing to his daughter's event. “Joe Cole, that's enough!” He yelled, almost disrespectfully. “I can't have you ruining my daughter's event and breaking her heart, please stop this and apologise to them now.” “No, Dad. He will do no such th
“Mercury Carter,” “Wait what?!” Joe Cole reacted. “Mercury Carter?!” He asked again to be sure. Rachael chuckled gently and smiled softly. Joe Cole asked the mean Jenner girl to repeat the name and probably explain better.“Mercury Carter of course. The Mercury Carter. The First Daughter of the United States. President Carter's daughter.” Jenner repeated and made it more clear who she was talking about.At this point, the cat had been let out of the bag and all Kelsey could do was cry, knowing that everyone now knew her wish and would laugh at her because it was impossible to come true. She ran to her father who looked at her with a pitiful face, she hugged him and his face showed how hurt he was to see his daughter go through such heartbreak on her special day.“So, Mercury Carter is her celebrity icon?” Joe Cole asked again, nodded his head without giving any sign that he knew her or he would be able to help the birthday princess.The two bullying families drew closer to him to glo
Kelsey's shocked reaction got the guests’ attention more seriously, they began to wonder if she was really speaking with who they thought she was, that would mean, Joe Cole just made magic. They all watched on in amazement while she tried to get herself together. A few seconds later, she returned to the phone to properly speak to Mercury. Those around the table had peeped in to see who the caller was and it was Mercury, this left them all in shock. The two bullying families were still in doubt, they thought Joe Cole was playing a trick on everyone. He couldn't possibly be calling Mercury Carter just like that. “Stop fooling around, that's not true!” They yelled at the frantic guests. Rachael laughed at their unbelief and made efforts to help them out. “Hey Diji, display the call on Joe Cole's phone on the main screen here.” She instructed Joe Cole's artificial intelligence assistant.Within seconds, the video call was casted on the main screen in the event, wide and bright enough fo
“Mr Cole, now that Kelsey is engaged, can we talk?” Mr Kelvin came to Joe Cole and asked for their meeting to begin. “Oh, your assistant is with them, maybe we can wait for them to be done.” Realizing that Rachael was with the girls giving them a tour of the car, he suggested he halt the meeting till the girls were done.Joe Cole already knew the impact his strategy had made, all the while Diji had whispered to him what the men were whispering about him, and he knew they were ready to do whatever it took to have a deal with him. “It's fine, we can proceed with the meeting.” He answered and offered for them to lead the way. “Oh, that's great.” Mr Kevin answered, his eyes bright and his face shone with an excited smile. The time had come for him to know why Joe Cole wanted to meet with him in the first place, and even more importantly at the moment, he needed Joe Cole more than Joe Cole needed him.The men walked past the starring guests and found a place to sit and talk business. “So,
It's been several weeks since Joe Cole and the event of Kelsey's birthday party. He didn't only make Kelsey's dreams come true, he also secured his deal with Mr Kelvin effortlessly. There has been many waters under the bridge since then, rumours spreading across various circles concerning Joe Cole and his dealings across town. Most of the rumours were kept from the notice of the students at KQU, their parents were trying to keep the matter silent so Joe Cole doesn't grow bigger at school over their children. So far, Joe Cole had delivered on his end of the deal for Michael Wonderstone and Kelvin Kalaway. They sold their shares at Wonderstone Enterprise to him as agreed, giving him the majority stake he needed to launch a privatisation of the company. The Sullivans had no choice than to sell off their shares in the company since the new owners were taking it private. It was their idea to Michael Wonderstone and now, it has backfired on them. Joe Cole took Wonderstone Enterprise privat
