The scene was just what Jake wanted, public embarrassment on Joe Cole's table, while on his table, he is being celebrated. He dived into the opportunity again to make mockeries of his new obsession, Joe Cole.“See guys, the New Money or should we say, Stolen Money, is acting for us again.” Jake spiced up the now dramatic scene on Joe Cole's table causing everyone to burst into laughter.“He can't even speak up for himself,” Emily added to back her now fiance, “You order a drink, you pay for it or are you money-dried already?” She mocked him even more and everyone joined her to increase Joe Cole's plight.“Did you order for this, Cole?” John asked him, the pandemonium around their corner was already becoming intense, everyone thinking Joe Cole had placed an order for the drink as a way to get back at Jake and Emily.“No, I didn't.” Joe Cole replied, shaking his head but all the while looking calm and confident.His response made them wonder who had placed the order but the waitress mai
“Mum and Dad are definitely going to hear about this madness of yours, and I'll make sure they allow you to stay broke for a while so you can be delivered from this delusion,” Marquis said to her, still furious about her actions in defending someone like Joe Cole.He turned and walked away from them back to his table. Mercury became cold as she gently took her seat, her thoughts spiralling as she reasoned her actions. ‘'What have I done? Was I thinking right? Am I in love with him?’ the questions kept bouncing off her mind and no particular answer to any of them.“Are you okay, Mercury?” John asked her, leaning towards her with his hand on her shoulder as he checked up on her. Joe Cole joined him to inquire of her state.“Yes, am fine.” She answered them, nodding her head slightly but rapidly within seconds to confirm her words.The tension was dying down little by little as everyone was returning back to their feasting but with Mercury and Joe Cole becoming their subject of murmuring
The crowd began to chant for Joe Cole's arrest,“Take him away!!!”The uproar was becoming a tense one for everybody and even more worriedly for Mercury and John. If they still had some money, they could have paid for the drinks but the price was too enormous to even think. $30 million? Where were they going to get it from? “Joe, this is really bad, man. Why would you fall for Jake's childishness? You said it yourself. Fuck!” John said to him, worried as hell about the situation they were in. Social media posts were already flaunting the internet about the situation and it really looked bad on them. But Joe Cole remained silent and unbothered.“Hold on guys, we have an idea,” Jake stilled the crowd with his words after some whispering and conniving with his fiancée, Emily.Emily got up to deliver to the angry yet satisfied crowd what their new mischievously wicked idea was.“Joe Cole has been a torn on our flesh all this while, he thinks he can match us or challenge us, he thinks he
The hall plunged into a chaotic scene of rumbling and grumbling, everyone demanding an answer to Jake's question on who was going to pay for the drinks.The waitress returned to the microphone and tossed her gaze towards Joe Cole in a bid to get confirmation from him. He nodded his head gently, giving her a go-ahead signal, and she announced to them again.“Well, Mr. Cole—” she tried to speak but was interrupted by Jake's question.“Why do you keep calling him Mr. Cole? Call him Joe Cole at best.” Jake dropped on her.The people laughed and when they were done, the lady continued, “Mr. Cole insists he is going to pay for them.”“Agh!!” The crowd protested, and another surge of murmuring and rumbling shot out again.“What does he mean by that?” “Dude couldn't even pay for one bottle and he dares to ‘insist’ on paying for fifteen?” “Is this a cheap reverse psychology to trap us in debt or what?”“Fuck you, Joe Cole. Pay before we drink.”The noise continued as everyone was pissed by J
Everyone took a deep sigh and became calm, the lady who had told them about how gold cards work was right and her words gave them the additional relief they needed. It wasn't possible under any means for Joe Cole to own a valid gold card and of course, there are many fake ones out there. Jake's father was the richest man in the world, making Jake the richest kid in the world. The Arab Princes were the richest royalties in the world because their nations were oil-rich nations. Yet, none of them had a gold card, so how could Joe Cole possibly have a valid gold card? He would have to inherit a fortune of $20 billion at least but they all knew his background, that wasn't possible by any means. “Aah…thank you, baby, for saving me from this embodiment of shame and embarrassment.” Emily kissed Jake in appreciation of his rescue job.“So, this fool somehow obtained a fake gold card and confidently used it to scam us all. See why I said he is a fraud who should be treated as such?” Jake echo
The manager approached Joe Cole and greeted him.“Good evening, sir. I am Frank Kerry and I am the manager of this prestigious establishment.”“Prestigious establishment! Let him know, good sir!” Jake said out and everyone burst into laughter, laughing at his mocking comment on Joe Cole.The manager allowed the laughter and interruption from Jake to die down and then continued with Joe Cole.“I sincerely want to apologize to you, sir, for all the inconveniences and embarrassment brought to you tonight. On behalf of this prestigious establishment, I deeply apologize to you.”The students were stunned by the manager's apology, he wasn't directing it to the right person.“Mr. Manager or Frank Kerry, right?” Robert called him out, “You are apologizing to the wrong person. The party host whom you should be apologizing to is over here.” He said, pointing to Jake as the one the manager should be apologizing to.The students began their murmuring and grumbling again, wondering what was wrong
Joe Cole left the campus early that morning to spend the weekend at his new mansion and meet with Rachael and the rest of his business team. On his way to the mansion, he called up Diji, his futuristic artificial intelligence home assistant who was already fitted into all of his devices from his house to his cars to his laptop, phone, watches, and accessories.“Hey, Diji, I am on my way home.”Diji responds immediately, “Alright, boss. What would you like me to do?” “Call Rachael and ask her to meet me up. Tell her to come with the team.” He instructed his robotic assistant.“Okay, boss,” Diji answered back and went on to carry out the assignment.Joe Cole took in a deep breath and exhaled gently, his joy oozing all over him. He was really rich and had finally confirmed it by spending some of the money. Within a week, he had spent over $50 million, including the record-breaking $30 million he spent at the Billionaires Clubhouse in one sitting.Joe Cole felt on top of the world, his
Joe Cole hoped in one of his one-only edition cars and with Diji's help, he activated the simulation drive features. With a VR/AR device on his face that changed his reality into a digital one, he activated all systems and was ready for his cruise through the city.The first sight he saw was the last sight he saw before he turned on the device, it didn't seem to him like anything changed, it was one seamless transition from actual reality to digital reality, everything was exactly the same.“Wow, this tech is futuristic, Diji. How have we never heard of it?” His enthusiasm for the technology aroused as he questioned Diji.“It wouldn't be announced yet until ten years time and won't be commercially available to all until another ten years. It is the future of the internet, of gaming, and of living.” Diji answered him.The advanced technologies infused into his Olympus mansion was beyond anything the world had ever seen, it was too advanced for human comprehension as of the time.“So wh
