Victoria Carter and Evelyn Seymours stood shocked at Joe Cole's gesture, they didn't know what to say to him. This was the most expensive gift someone other than their husbands was giving to them, it was unfathomable.“Whoa! Slow down, boy.” Philip reacted, “Did you just hand them a $50 million gift?” He asked in shock.“This is…” President James Carter couldn't even finish his own words.Michael and Gustavo smiled, Joe Cole had informed him of what he was planning and asked him to crest the ladies' names on each box. The ladies couldn't hold their excitement anymore as they stared tirelessly at the boxes with their names boldly engraved on them.This wasn't their first Gustavo Jewellery Collection but it was their most expensive and now most treasured one. “Come on, honey. Give me a hug,” the more free-spirited Evelyn said to him and pulled him to herself for a warm hug.“Boy, you never cease to surprise us. Give me some too.” Victoria hugged him as well and kissed him on his cheeks.
After the weekend at his Olympus Mansion and with the elite folks at the exclusive auction, Joe Cole returned back to school the next Monday. The entire school was already boiling with anticipation of his arrival, since the event at the Billionaires Clubhouse they couldn't find him nor hear from him.“Welcome back to school, sir.” Diji, his A.I assistant, said to him as he drove his G-Wagon to school. “Would you like me to give you the updates so far?” Diji asked.“Yes, please. Those students are unpredictable, who knows what they may be up to now?” Joe Cole answered Diji.“For a start, you're back to the trendy topic again. It's Monday and everyone is expecting you to be in school and they can't wait for your arrival.” Joe Cole smiled, “Hmm.” “And, you are now one of the most followed students on social media. Almost the entire school follows you now but Mercury maintains the number one spot and Cilla number two.” “Wow, that's amazing!” Joe Cole laughed at the report from Diji. He
“Look at her, dressing to seduce the poor fool.” Emily's beefing with Mercury continued. Joe Cole and Mercury have been on the trend chart all weekend which was frustrating for Emily who was supposed to be the one trendy due to her engagement to Jake. But Joe Cole and Mercury had stolen their thunder and took their place on the board. It only made her even more furious.But more frustrating for her was hearing that Joe Cole gifted Mercury the sum of $10 million the morning after the humiliating event at her engagement party. This not only left her and Jake stunned but also frustrated her to the core. She left Joe Cole because of $500,000 which Jake promised her and now Joe Cole was gifting her former bestie $10 million for nothing, not even to date her or have sex with her.She became more embittered because to her, that was her spot Mercury stole and she wished she never made that mistake of leaving Joe Cole but then, she couldn't change it because she was now engaged to Jake. Altho
The lecture hall buzzed with anticipation for another grueling session between Mr Hudson and Joe Cole. Mr Hudson has always been tough and notorious to Joe Cole, making him a subject of his ridicule whenever he came to class. Somehow, everyone thought he would pipe down and show some level of respect to Joe Cole who was fast becoming the new biggest deal in school.Mr Hudson didn't mind whatever Joe Cole was or was not, all he cared about was humiliating him as he usually does and this time even more because of what transpired between Joe Cole and Jake at Emily's engagement party.“I'm sorry, sir. I didn't quite hear you right.” Joe Cole gave a confused look as he inquired to learn more of what Mr Hudson was saying.The lecturer nodded his head gently in anger, feeling aggravated by Joe Cole's response to him. He looked at him more closely with his anger showing all over him, and he repeated his words. “I said, since your broken skull and watered brain didn't get it right the first t
Joe Cole smiled at Mr Hudson's statement, he knew the man was threatening him and didn't care. However, he whispered back to him, “Not this rat, Mr Hudson,” and walked past him to meet Mercury.“Thank you, Merc. I really appreciate you standing up for me every time.” Joe Cole whispered to her and she glowed with smile, everyone could see how deeply in love with Joe Cole she was.“You'll take me to lunch then?” She whispered back to ask, furthering the conversation towards her end game.Joe Cole chuckled, she took him to lunch the first time and he could remember how he felt when she offered to take him to lunch. Now, she was asking him to take her to lunch, nothing gave him more joy. “Definitely.” He answered with enthusiasm, “Even if you want it now, I'm down for it.” Mercury couldn't contain the joy in her heart and the laughter she held, she let it out gently and answered him back. “It's still morning.” Together, they walked to their seats, sitting next to each other.The class w
Exiting the lecture hall, Joe Cole and Mercury made their way to their favorite lunch spot, Café de Royale, where they were meeting up with John. Meanwhile, social media was once again abuzz with chatter about Joe Cole, Mercury, and Mr. Hudson.As they drove, the students at Kings & Queens University discussed the latest drama that unfolded between the trio in class. However, what intrigued them even more was Joe Cole's return to school, promising some answers or at least some more dramas which had already begun with Mr Hudson in the features this time.Joe Cole stepped out of his car and patiently waited for Mercury to join him. With deliberate poise, she took her time, adding to her allure as she adjusted her makeup and attire, after the order of her gender. When she was finally done, she stepped out with a magnetic charm that left Joe Cole momentarily spellbound, lost in admiration of her beauty and glamour.Mercury couldn't help but revel in the effect she had on him, pleased that
Mercury's eyes widened in disbelief as she examined the name branded on the elegant box Joe Cole set before her. "A Gustavo? Is this for real? You're giving me a Tony Gustavo jewellery?" Her excitement bubbled over with a barrage of questions.Tony Gustavo jewellery collection was more than just a luxury brand, it was a symbol of class, prestige, and pride coveted by women worldwide. Owning a piece of Tony Gustavo jewellery was like receiving a prestigious award, and Mercury was no exception to its charms.Even before opening the box to reveal its contents, Mercury found herself swept away by the gesture and the gift especially. "My dad is the only person to ever give me a Gustavo, and sometimes, I would sneakily borrow my mom's to wear. She never found it easy to accept then, she would always go on and on about why I mustn't touch her Gustavos and how the others were at my disposal," Mercury continued to divulge information she was never asked about to Joe Cole who just smiled and li
Emily and Jake goes to see Mr Martinez in his office, he had called for them because he had a gift for Emily. The two walked in, still pissed off about the frustrating situation with Joe Cole and Mercury who were stealing their thunder. Never in his life had Jake imagined that an underdog or even anyone in KQU could shut him up like Joe was doing.Their coming to visit Emily's dad could help their situation in some ways to give them leverage, and they hoped for it as they entered.“Hi, Dad.” Emily greeted her father, the School's VC and Chairman of the Board, her frustrations could be seen all over her.“Hey, Mr Martinez.” Jake followed after, also with a frustrated tone.Mr Martinez took his hands off his work to attend to the newly engaged couple, they looked adorable together and were a perfect match for each other but the look on their faces was not giving the excitement that was expected. “Hey, Peanut,” the single father walked out from behind his desk and hugged his beautiful d
