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
“Might I remind you that once we sign this deal, we are on and there is no going back.” Chuck informed Joe Cole and Rachael for business formalities sake. He didn't intend to by any means scare them from the deal, his sight remained in what his greed wanted him to fixate on. “That's fine. Can we sign now?” Joe Cole asked him. “Oh, yes, please. Do go ahead, I'm excited about this.” Joe Cole put his pen to the papers and began signing the documents one after the other. The deal to purchase 65.5% of Megalon Agencies for the hefty sum of $15 billion was almost in place. Both parties were excited except for Fim. Their excitement however was for very different reasons and not for the business in itself. One side is getting an opportunity to own the most powerful agency in the world that manages the careers, wealth, and life of some of the most successful and influential sportsmen, sports teams, movie stars, artistes, celebrities and wealthy individuals as a whole. This meant, they now h
Claire watched everyone in the office and understood from what she saw that something wasn't right. She reasoned it definitely had something to do with the news she was carrying but in her heart, the news was a good one only that it was unexpected, at least to her. Seeing her boss slumped in a chair and Fim biting his fingers while the guests showed no such expressions, she knew once that the guests must have gotten the better of her boss.“Sir, I have some news,” she announced to her boss quietly as she walked close to him. Chuck wasn't listening to her and whatever she was saying. Fim however, took the liberty to attend to the young secretary. “What is it?” He asked her.Claire drew closer to Fim and whispered, “We just received a transaction of $15 billion from Cole Enterprise. What is going on, sir?” Hearing this, Fim shut his eyes for some seconds, sighed and shook his head gently. “Damn!” He exclaimed.“Sir, what is going on?” Claire probed in again. “You can leave now,” Fim
Joe Cole rushed to school as fast as he could, getting to his lecture hall. The lecture was far gone already and almost coming to an end. Mercury had advised him to come earlier but despite his efforts, he still missed the time. Just fifteen minutes to closing when he arrived and quickly rushed to enter the hall.His situation with Mr Hudson had only grown worse since their last encounter. The man had made up his mind to purposefully target Joe Cole as his victim, patiently looking for ways to deal with him. On the other hand, Joe Cole now made himself vulnerable to Mr Hudson's plans due to his divided attention with his business and school. On this fateful day, Mr Hudson had the upper hand.“Good day, Mr Hudson. I'm sorry…” Joe Cole greeted and tried to explain but the man shunned him with his hand, choosing rather to continue his lectures with the students than to respond to Joe Cole's greetings and whatever he had to say.The students had their mixed reactions on Joe Cole's return
Joe Cole stood still watching the man who had just threatened to fail him academically walk away and unresponsive to whatever he was asking. He gave thoughts to what Mr Hudson's threat could mean and how serious the lecturer was willing to take it. As he stood contemplating, the students began erupting out of the lecture hall, some murmuring mockeries as they walked past him. Others giggled, especially the ladies, most of whom found him admirable. Since his sudden rise, Joe Cole was drawing admiration from most of the ladies in the school. Same people who mocked and ridiculed him before, now seeking out ways to draw closer to him save for the fact that he wasn't regular in school as they hoped. His relationship with Mercury, his enigmatic moves, his good looks and attractive appearance, his brilliance and all, began popping up to catch the eyes of the beauties at KQU. Some of these ladies had finally gotten to see him in school and stopped to have a word with him. Jennifer Houston,
