With his friends gone on their various personal matters, John decided to engage in something fun for himself as well. He drove out of campus to club at one of his favourite spots in the city.At the club, the pulsating beat of music eclipsed the dimly lit clubhouse, the stage was set as usual for a night of revelry and excitement. John sat in the bar area, drinking his favourite Jack Daniels Cocktail and Whiskey mashup, the Jack Daniels Manhattan. He was on his first glass, drinking responsibly.Gazing at the dancefloor amidst the sea of gyrating bodies, his gaze fell upon a vision of beauty, the popular Betty Netty. Betty is also a student of KQU and everyone knew her, she was a big deal but mostly outside school. Also, from a wealthy background like the other students, she was a big star in the social media influencing realm, working with some of the top brands in the country. Her followers on her social media accounts run in their millions. Off-campus, she was more popular than al
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
As John and Betty Netty continued their intense dancing, reaching the zenith where they both longed for a kiss and some romantic actions, a huge presence loomed over them like a dark cloud on the horizon. They were too involved to notice this ominous presence nor the reactions of other clubbers who hailed the figure and gasped at the sight of Betty and John.“Who the fuck are you?!” The menacing character pulled John away from Betty, causing him to fall to the ground. His eyes burned with anger like he wanted to consume the Caviar heir.“Alex!” Betty reacted, shocked by the presence of her boyfriend, Alex Wayne. Alex Wayne is a formidable figure known throughout the city for his prowess in boxing ring and his short fuse. He was ruthless when dealing with his opponents and with his ruthless aggression, he has claimed many victories and respect for himself in the city. He and Betty began dating not quite long, and he announced their relationship online to make it official. However, she
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
The tension at the Monumental Restaurant was quickly becoming a joke, especially for Joe Cole who initially thought the rude waitress’ boyfriend worked for the Sullivans. She just revealed the name of her boyfriend, Mike Willis, and Joe Cole burst into laughter.Mike Willis works for Joe as one of the members of his new team Rachael had put together, he was the business strategist for the team. And frankly, Joe Cole looked impressed by the restaurant and to know that Mike was the owner.“Why are you sitting down? You think you know my boyfriend?” The waitress continued her inquiry to clear her confusion and as usual, sprinkled her words with a rude tone of voice.Joe Cole smiled and looked at her, she was too ignorant and arrogant to have someone like Mike Willis as her boyfriend. “Call Mike.” Joe Cole instructed her, “And tell him to come down to the restaurant that there is an emergency.” The lady and the security looked at him in disbelief, the audacity he had to call their boss b
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
The meeting at the Monumental Restaurant was bathed in an aura of palpable tension, the Winthrops knew nothing about Joe Cole's finances and Joe Cole was making his first deal outside the one with the Government of the United States. With him sat Rachael and Mike Willis across from Mr and Mrs Winthrop. “Cilla would have been here but… you know.” Mrs Winthrop stated. Joe Cole chuckled and was glad she wasn't.The Winthrops were the pillars of the real estate industry and their company, Winthrop Properties Inc. was the leader in the industry. Their expressions at the meeting was one of deep concern, they had chipped it to Joe Cole during their brief encounter at Michael's Auction event. They were confronted with the looming specter of bankruptcy which hovered over their company.Joe Cole leaned forward, keeping a steady gaze as he listened intently to the Winthrops making their impassioned plea. Mrs Winthrop tinged with urgency as she detailed the grim financial predicament facing thei
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
