Shadrach and the policemen became shocked. Since when did a commoner like him have a lawyer? He wondered as he looked at the woman who claimed to be his lawyer. He watched as the events unfolded. What the hell was going on? How did he suddenly out of the blue have a lawyer? He thought as he wondered where the hell he had met someone like this woman who said she was his lawyer.
For a minute, he thought that he would sleep in jail and even spend the rest of his life there, and now, another minute, someone said she was his lawyer. Was he dreaming or what? He wondered in bewilderment." Release this man now and let us go!" The lawyer said sharply while the policemen looked at each other and frowned. The truth of the matter was that they did not want to release him all because of the money they had collected from Fred. He had given them a whole lot of money so that he would be detained. And if anything happened, the rich man would make sure that they would pay for it since it was just that everything has been settled and they had collected the amount they wanted. They became so annoyed that the tables had been turned against them because they had collected so much money from Fred. They could not let the money go to waste and they did not want to release him. They thought of how far the money would go for them and the fact that they would not get a dime for releasing him. Yet, they got a dime for detaining him. However, the lawyer was a very popular lawyer that would never let go of a case like this. They know how furious the lawyer would be if they kept her waiting and yet, they were not ready to let him go." We have not received any response from the boss" one of them managed to say and looked at his partner who added." Really" I claimed to let my client leave and you dare to tell me about your boss? Who the hell is that boss of yours? She asked. Ms. Cara knows everything that was going on but pretended not to know. She knows who the boss was and knew how capable he was but then, he was not a match for her.She know that if she dragged the case further, he would be the one to be arrested due to injustice and fraud but then, if they were not complying, she would make sure to send him to jail, including the greedy policemen that would do everything for money. Shadrach, on the other hand, wondered how much Fred had paid for the policemen for them to tell the lawyer that he cannot be released. Fred was richer than him, but then, he was sure that it was not just a merger amount that he paid them." If you don't release him now, I would make sure that that person you claim to be your boss will be arrested and put in the same position you put my client!" She sternly while they looked at each other in fear. Just as one of them wanted to call the boss, she yelled at them "You are taking too long and if I spend a minute here, I will make sure that you join him also because you are greedy and incompetent!" She said becoming a bit yelled while they looked at each other scared." You can leave," one of them said while the rest of them became so scared because of the aftermath. Trouble would surely boom if Fred finds out that he had been released and they would suffer for it! Had they perhaps, detained the wrong person that would put them in danger?"You can come with me! I have not got all day!" She said, after making him sign his papers." But who are you? I am not sure that I have seen you in person, so can you please answer my question?" He asked again as he knitted his brows in confusion." Me? I'm your lawyer!" She said softly and walked out of the police station elegantly while he walked out still confused about what was going on.Was he about to be scammed or is he about to be kidnapped? He wondered again as he stared around in awe. How can a woman suddenly come out from the blues and claim that she was his lawyer and even helped him when he thought that he was not going to make it out of the prison? Who the hell is this woman and why is she doing all this? If all these are happening, it meant that person wanted something else in return. What were all these? He wondered as he walked out. He was surprised to see a black Ferrari waiting for them." Thank you very much for helping me. I will take my leave now" He said, hoping that she would just look at him and let go. He wanted to feel danger within him that something bad could happen but unfortunately, he was feeling so relaxed around her. Why she was doing this is what he did not understand. He did not know a lot of people and yet, people knew him." No! This is my car that will convey the both of us. I will like to talk to you" she said again and looked at him, smiling."Talk to me?" He asked surprisedly."Yeah, it is very urgent and important" she replied putting up a smileNow! That explained it all! She would like to talk to him. About working for them, he was sure of that." About what? Was that why you came?" He asked, trying to put on a brave face. He knew that he could not come out of this again." Yeah, and I am glad to tell to you that, you will be super rich soon!"The moment he heard that statement, he burst into laughter while Cara stared at him. He was still laughing and suddenly stopped laughing and looked at her frowning."Hold on, are you here to prank me or what? My head can't grab what you mean!" He asked" Well, I said what I said. I just don't understand why you don't seem to believe me" She replied to him while he looked at her.Why would someone suddenly come out of the blues and start to prank him saying he would be a rich man soon when he was as poor as a church rat? He finds it difficult for him to feed himself every day. He needed money urgently"You don't need anything from me to be rich?" He asked again while she nodded. He shrugged even if she needed something, it would take little or nothing from him but why she had to play a prank on him that way was not what he seems to understand. He looked at her vividly and realized that she was being serious. But how did she want to make him wealthy?"Let me tell you a story."A s
Shadrach looked at her and realized that this was an opportunity for him. At least just this once for his status to change.He looked at her and wondered if she was saying the truth. She looked so serious. It then made him realize that no matter what happened, he knew he had nothing else to lose. All he was was just a poor, looking person that was just too heartbroken. So, if, anything wanted to happen, at most, the only way he would face the consequences was if he was arrested and yet, he was ready for all of that." Fine, I agree to the mission but then…" he was about to say something when he was interrupted by the blasting sound that erupted from his phone. Looking at the phone screen, his eyes widened in shock at who was calling. His boss had called him three times and this was just the fourth time he was seeing this.Goodness! He said and realized that he was already late for work. He hurriedly picked up the call and closed his eyes as he waited for his yelling and scoldi
Immediately after he was done packing his belongings, he left the delivery company angrily. What even made him angry the more was that someone was behind him getting fired by his manager and he wants revenge desperately." No! I must have my revenge on the person behind this" he said to himself angrily." But, what could I have done to the person behind this," he asked himself, it was not like I offended anyone cause I have nothing against anyone. But, that was not a problem, to him,m it was just a matter of time before he get his revenge. Just then, he decided to contact Cara so he could ask if it was possible to choose the kind of company he wants as an inheritance and if possible, he would want a delivery company as an inheritance to prove himself as a person good in his business cause he desperately wants to get his revenge." Hello" Cara answered over the phone." Yes, Cara it's me, Shadrach"" Yeah, Shadrach. What do I owe for this call?" She asked." Nothing, it's just th
Shadrach just smiled at the words of his manager." Is it a crime to sit at the front of the gate of a delivery company"? Or, isn't it his right to sit anywhere he wishes?" He askedThe manager wanted to reply to him but he cuts in sharply." Anyone is free to sit anywhere he or she wishes. So, I just decided to sit here since it is not wrong" he said smiling. The top management was surprised especially his manager because the way he was laughing was like someone who had intentions. But unknowingly to them, he had his intentions and he was smiling because he knew a drama would unfold soon and this made it more interesting to him. The president was very annoyed at Shadrach because the new owner of the delivery company would arrive soon and he doesn't want to mess things up and this made him unhappy. He doesn't know the type of person the new owner may be, he was someone who gets angry easily or, someone who was calm and he was not ready to lose his job." Get him out o
Everyone was surprised because they didn't see anyone new at the spot they were. They began searching the whole area, but, there was no sign of a new living thing and they could not see the new owner. They looked around in search of him but didn't see anyone." Where is the new owner, 'cause, nobody seems new to us, or, has anyone seen the new owner?" The president asked." No" they all chorused Cara immediately looked in the direction of Shadrach to know his intentions, maybe, he would like to introduce himself to them. Pointing her fingers from his direction of him to the direction of the top management at the company as a sign to ask maybe he would like to introduce himself.Shadrach only shook his head as a signal of No for now. But, only pointing his hands toward the president.Cara immediately understood what that meant and thought of what to say to them." The new boss doesn't want to be high profile, so he would only like to see the president" she spoke on Shadrach's
The president immediately became respectful to Shadrach. He that wanted to chase Shadrach away suddenly had a mood swing. What could he even do anyway, he can't disrespect Shadrach, he couldn't dare anymore and Shadrach happens to be the new owner of the company where the holds the post as president, and the company was ranked in the top ten among the companies in town. But something kept on bothering him, and he began to think within himself," I know that this lawyer works for the biggest consortium. But, how did she get to know Shadrach and, how did Shadrach become the real owner of a big consortium" Still wondering what was happening because he was really confused. But what he doesn't know was that Shadrach didn't just become the real owner of the consortium. He immediately turned to Shadrach," I would only follow your orders," he said to Shadrach bowing his head down in respect.What could he do, all he can do right now is obey all of Shadrach's orders. He who do give Sh
He was dumbfounded. What the president just said was like a movie. He began tapping himself to confirm maybe he wasn't dreaming. Could it be that everything was just gibberish?" Wake up Mike". Hitting himself hard but, he wasn't dreaming. But, it was reality. He was getting sacked." The board has made their decision, and you are getting sacked". The president said." You are given twenty minutes to gather all your belonging and leave the office" he added and he took his leave.Mike wasn't expecting what he heard. He thought he was gonna get a promotion but, he wasn't instead of getting a promotion, he was getting sacked. Everyone looked at mike, but they were also surprised that he was getting sacked. They began to mount some words to each other." What going on," they asked each other. But, Shadrach who knew about all that was going on just looked at them as if they were in confusion.Mike immediately left their presence and left for the office to park all his belongings in di
" Today," he asked surprisingly." Yeah, today, or do you have a problem with that," Shadrach asked." Not at all, I just felt it just too..... " He stopped." It just too what?" He asked sharply.He couldn't talk." No c'mon you are free to talk," Shadrach said politely." Well, I just feel maybe it is too early to get a new manager"." Why do u feel so," he asked." It is now his business and he can decide on what to do," Shadrach thought within him." Well, you know the staff are still in shock of Mike's termination and don't you think it would be a shock for them to hear of getting promoted as the new manager," he said." That their business, I don't care," he said sharply." Just prepare the meeting and make me the new manager," he said angrily and took his leave.The truth of the matter was that the president doesn't want Shadrach as the manager. He doesn't like the situation of Shadrach being the new owner of the company. But he still finds it hard to believe that Shadrach
