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 of here" he instructed Mike who was at the edge of the group. Immediately Mike responded with respect. What could he do he was someone who had no qualifications and was a mere manager.
The president was really unhappy and this made him make his decision for Shadrach to be kicked out right away because, in no time, the new owner of the company would arrive and he doesn't want the new owner to feel uncomfortable or unhappy in any way. He wants to do everything in his power to please the new owner and make him comfortable. He doesn't know the new owner and does not know the kind of person he was and he was not ready to lose his job instead he wants to protect it by not making any mistakes." Am sorry for what is going on" Mike apologized to the president who was also annoyed this also made Mike angry and he despised Shadrach badly. He pushed Shadrach away from the top management and punched him in the face. Immediately, Shadrach reacted. His face became cold at the manager's action. He grabbed Mike by the collar and gave him a piece of his word." Am not a staff at this company any more, so I would not accept any form of insult from you" he fired back angrily. The manager was shocked and he became afraid of Shadrach. The Shadrach he once knew was a foolish and sluggish one who listens to whatever he was being told to do. He became more afraid because the way Shadrach fired back made him realize that he must not do anything stupid or else Shadrach might make him regret and there would be nothing he could do any longer if things get worst. He immediately calmed himself down and spoke with a gentle voice." Fine, could you please get out of this place? We are expecting someone important and this might make the person angry seeing you here" Mike spoke with a calm voice. Shadrach was surprised at Mike's behavior which suddenly changed cause, he was expecting him to fire back at him but he didn't." Wow, things are getting more interesting. So Mike who loves to brag about his position could talk to him in such a manner and not the way he do talk to him before" he thought.Shadrach was still dazzling in his smile when suddenly Mike cut him in." Would you please leave him now?" he said to Shadrach.Shadrach wanted to use this as an opportunity to make Mike humble himself more." I would leave anytime I wish to" he replied still grabbing his collar." What exactly do you want?" Mike asked.Mike knew that if he fails to get Shadrach out of this place he could end up not finding favor in the president's eye he wanted a promotion for his job and he wasn't ready to remain at the same level he is at his job, so he has to do everything in his power to make Shadrach leave. If not for what he wanted from the president to his job, he would have fought with Shadrach and not bothered to talk to him humbly. However, within some minutes, a black Ferrari car was spotted afar and it was coming in the direction of the company. It then stopped at the front of the delivery company gate. It was Cara's car.The president immediately seeing that it was Cara quickly made a respectful smile and let the other top management to Cara's car.Mike on seeing this immediately wanted to join the group but realized that Shadrach was still holding his collar." Would you please, release me?" He asked humbly.Shadrach immediately releases Mike's collar and lets him go. Mike was relieved." I promise you, immediately am back I would make sure you pay for what you did" Mike threatened Shadrach with his words.Shadrach only scoffed." Did you just scoff to mock me? Wait for a little while when am back I would make you pay for real" he threatened angrily. He immediately joined the line of top management to greet the new owner, to avoid trouble." Fine, I would look forward to it". Shadrach said after he had gone.He knew that he was never going to make him pay because, there was no way he could, sooner or later he would be his boss and there was no way he could make him pay.The president on seeing Cara decided to move closer to her with a smile not to greet her but he wanted to check who the new owner was and what type of person was the new owner.On getting close to Cara he immediately used his eyes to search through the car but he couldn't find anybody." Where is the new owner?" he asked boldly.He then called upon all the top management to move closer to greet Cara. They moved closer to greet her and they also used this as an opportunity to check who the new owner was but, they could not find anybody." Huh, where is the new owner," he asked Cara boldly.Cara sighting Shadrach immediately replied to him." He had arrived a long time ."
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
" What!" They all chorused." I think you've lost it Mr.. President," Mr. Danny said.Mr. Danny was a top staff at the cafe and most people believed would be the new manager but, it was the opposite, he wasn't getting promoted." I know most of you are shocked, but from this moment on, he's the new manager. I would like to dismiss the meeting". He said and as he was about to take his leave, he saw Shadrach near the meeting room who had already turned his back to leave also. The president then went into his office immediately and sat on his large couch." You did well".He became very scared." Can you just please stop scaring the whole out of me, at least I did the fucking thing you wished for" he said with an angry face.Shadrach laughed. " I can see you had begun to grow some nerves," he said." Am sorry, am just a little bit stressed out" he apologized."It's okay, I would let this pass".As he was about to take his leave from the president's office, he suddenly remembered some
He immediately rushed out of his office and instructed the task team leader put a notice outside the cafe without telling the leader what the notice was all about." What the notice sir" " Oh sorry, I forgot to say that" he apologized." An exam would be conducted for anyone who wishes to get the job"." Exam" they all chorused." When did they start to have an exam for employment to work at the cafe?"" That was then, now henceforth, exams would be conducted for anyone who wanted the job". As he was about to leave, something struck his mind." Oh, I almost forgot, please put a date and that would be the deadline tomorrow"Immediately the notice was changed, and the news traveled far wide. All those who wanted the job never expected an exam to be conducted and the deadline was tomorrow. They wished it wasn't so that some had to give up on the dream of working at the cafe. The next morning was very busy. The presiding president hoped the umb o those who wished to work at the cafe
" Her name?" He asked surprisingly." Yeah, you heard me rightly. I want her name"." Well sir, that would be a little bit difficult because I didn't take note of each person who came to write the exam"." What!, So how can I get them"." Am sorry I don't think I know"." Gosh, it's okay you may leave"." Thank you sir".He was already feeling down just then, the superior remembered something," You could check each one of them name on the paper because they were asked to attach their passports" . So, i you still remember her face, you could easily find her that" the superior suggested." Wooh, really?" He asked in surprise already feeling happy." Yeah, you can"." Thank you, may the Lord bless you" praying for him like someone who was just a new convert.He immediately left running towards the president's office." I think his insane?" the superior asked himself.He bragged into the president's office without even knocking and this made the president scared." Can't you please for on
Mike was really angry at the sudden reaction of Shadrach. He looked at Shadrach with a dismayed face feeling the pain of what Shadrach had done." How dare you?" He asked angrily placing his hand directly to his face as someone who had just received a shock.He never expected Shadrach to react that way because he knew Shadrach well and he won't even dare do such a thing even if he was bullied. But to his greatest surprise, he had been humiliated. Shadrach on the order hand, immediately reached out for the telephone to call the security." I want to you come to my office now and drive away a lunatic". He said angrily hitting the telephone hard on the table.Just then, a few members of security rushed in as they stood in awe. They were surprised to see Mike even when they didn't know how he got in. They had been in this job for a very long time and not for once had someone entered without them noticing." Don't you all know how to do your job? How did this lunatic slip through you guys
