Joe Cole and Mercury arrived at his student mansion the next day to see John, they found him resting in his bed, his face still bearing the marks of the altercation with Alex. Concerns etched their faces as they approached him, eager to sympathise with him. Since his return back home, he has been healing fast enough but needed more rest. “Hey, bro,” Joe Cole greeted him, his voice laced with determination. “How are you feeling?”John shone a bright smile, his eyes reflecting a mix of excitement for his recovery and frustration for his father's push for justice. “I've been better,” he admitted, his voice strained. “But my dad is not.”They laughed at his joke, Mercury placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, her expression filled with sympathy for him. “We're here for you, John. Whatever you need, just let us know.”Joe Cole nodded in agreement, his mind already churning with plans for retribution. “Listen, John, I know your dad is worried sick about finding justice for you. But trust me
Michael wasted no time in getting to the point, his voice steady and resolute. “Joe Cole, I'll cut to the chase. The Sullivans have rallied the investors and executive board for a hostile takeover of my company. They're determined to oust me from my position and seize control of Wonderstone Enterprise.”President Carter's brow furrowed, his eyes flashing with a steely resolve. “That's unacceptable,” he declared, his voice firm and unwavering. “We can't let that happen nor let them get away with this.”Joe Cole and Philip Seymour nodded in agreement, Joe Cole's mind already churning with plans and strategies. “Agreed,” he affirmed with his voice calm but resolved. “But we need to act fast if we're going to stop them.” Michael leaned forward, his eyes pleading for help. “What can we do, Joe Cole? I'm running out of options here.” “If they now have a combined controlling stake enough to oust you out, your only option now is to buy back the company.” Philip churned in.Joe Cole leaned b
Joe Cole held a meeting with his team, they discussed several topics relating to his business ventures and empire which was growing so fast with the recent additions including Rovett Cuisine Inc. His team had been on their toes, getting things done and making the necessary acquisitions to boost the empire while also cementing its name and reputation across various circles.So far, they have gone into business with many other top leading corporations including that of President Carter and Philip Seymour. Cole Enterprise was fast becoming a recognised brand among the business world and eyes were pouring into it, attention was falling on it, and a lot more was speedily ongoing in the company. Joe Cole's sights were set on other things to further expand, but he had some issues to deal with. He needed to finalise the purchasing procedure they had already begun with Wonderstone Enterprise which had become a tough challenge for them. Although Michael insisted on buying back the business and
At Megalon Agencies, the CEO, Chuck Noah has been busy prepping his team for the meeting with the president of Cole Enterprise. He didn't know who the guy was nor had he ever seen his face or picture but he knew from information that Cole Enterprise was the new big deal in town. He and his team got together immediately they got the impromptu call from Rachael to set up the meeting, they began planning on how the meeting should go. “We must project our strength as we usually do, sir.” One member announced to him, hinting at their need to maintain one of their most effective strategies in business deals.Megalon was quite known for their projection of a strong and domineering front as a means to frighten their opponents and make them submit to their deal terms. They study everything about their potential victim to know who they were and how they operate so they too can find a place of strength to mount and operate from.“From what we've heard, he is a boy and that shouldn't take us muc
Chuck Noah and his team made ready for the arrival of the boy-president of Cole Enterprise. “Sir, we have an emergency call from the control unit.” A member of his team brought his attention to something important he received over the phone.“What is it?” He asked the man. Chuck's concerns began to grow gradually on hearing the word ‘emergency’, this couldn't possibly be the time for such an occurrence. “The control unit received a radio call from a helicopter request to descend on your helipad.” “What's the f—” Chuck cut out, it was disrespectful for anyone wanting to use his private helipad for landing. He too, like every other billionaire CEO in the city, had a helicopter for easier transportation across the city. On the rooftop of his skyscraper tower is his private helipad where his helicopter lands whenever he uses it. Interestingly, he didn't use his helicopter on this fateful day.“Who the hell is the owner of the helicopter? Does my helipad look like a public landing spot f
Fim led Joe Cole and Rachael into the office, Chuck Noah immediately stood up to receive his uninvited guest but was stunned to see who they were. It was a young lad and a young lady. He felt somewhat disappointed as he expected someone more matching of the status that was displayed.“Boss, your uninvited guest,” Fim presented them to him with disdain in his tone, a chuckle escaped his lips as he laughed at the disappointment.Chuck walked out from behind his desk towards them. “Who are you? And where is your boss?” He asked, his face changed from friendly to strict and disappointed.“What do you mean by where is my boss?” Joe Cole retorted to ask him, he too was confused by the whole display. “I am J—” He made to reveal who he was to the man but was interrupted.“I don't care who you are, I want to meet with your boss. Mr Joe Cole who owns the $92 million Olympus Eagle.” Chuck stated, dishing out who exactly his interest was for.Joe Cole and Rachael realized what was happening, they
Once in a while, a business person gets so carried away by their quest and lust for reward that they forget about the consequences of failure. They get so glued to the prize they want to achieve and become consumed with greed in the process. Most often than not, they fail and have to face the consequences, but in some other cases, they win and reap the rewards they so desperately pursued.Chuck Noah had just found himself in that state of pursuit and nothing else mattered to him. This wouldn't be his first time and he was sure it wouldn't be his last either. But more sure for him was the prize he set his eyes on, the $92 million Olympus Eagle helicopter. For a moment, his imagination had fantasised with the thoughts of him owing that luxury and boosting his pride among his circles. Of course, nobody else knows about the vehicle and this was its first time seen in public. He could imagine being the one who showcases it to the public.More triggering to his pride beyond gaining the chop
Joe Cole and Rachael took their time to read through the documents, this was a totally different plan from what they had in mind coming here. They had planned for a meeting and possible solid investments in Megalon Agencies which might give them some levels of advantages which they could use against Alex and Andrea. But the simple misconception caused because Joe Cole decided to come in his helicopter had changed everything. As expected or not, it was to their advantage. Now, they get to seal a deal for 65.5% of Megalon Agencies because the boss was greedy and contemptuous. The two smiled at each other, good things do happen to good people. On the other side of the table was Chuck Noah and his assistant, Fim. Both having a heated time, Chuck didn't like the fact that Joe Cole and Rachael were taking their time to read the documents. He wished they could just pen down signatures so they could proceed to the next thing, other than spend this much time trying to go through the document
