He was the strong man
The one everybody in the office quaked before
He was in the accounts department
He also managed procurement
Company policy was against it
Nobody dare speak
He was a god of sorts
As managerial staff changed from season to season
He dominated the landscape

Staff members grumbled and complained
He did some things that were obviously and flagrantly against the rule
Petitions died a natural death
He didn't even get a query
Who would dare!
He joined the office as a clerk ten years earlier
He had built a fortress over the years
Warrior!

Those who dared him regretted it
Their former MD had a face off with him on a Friday!
Words were exchanged
He told the MD he would wait till Monday morning before gifting him a wheelchair
By Monday morning the MD had a stroke on his way to the office
Everybody shrugged!

When he was due for promotion and his previous boss refused to retire
He told the man to write his will or retire!
The man thought it was a joke
That night, the man got some strange visitors
Three women from the community
The man smartly retired and recommended him for promotion

Even an expatriate from India that dared him got a strange report from home and had to leave within a week of their clash!
He was heavily backed by extra-mundane forces
People thread carefully around him
Those who grumbled did so in whispers
Nobody wanted to get in his crosshairs

When she was employed, she was poached from a commercial bank
She was leading the marketing team of her branch and consistently brought in whales with their mammoth accounts!
Her father was a very rich and connected man
She leveraged on this to land many lucrative accounts

It was her performance that impressed the CEO!
They were an investment bank and needed her to deliver big clients
She was told to name her salary and commission
She was made the Head of marketing
She got to work!
Within two weeks she landed the deal of a lifetime
A blue whale!

It was a landed property, located in the middle of a high brow area, owned by a family for many generations!
The family wanted her bank to partner with them in developing the land!
The profit margin was in billions
They already had corporate organizations buying into the project

The deal was so good, she was given a raise on the spot during the management meeting
The CEO sang her praises to the high heavens
She would earn a commission worth retiring on
It was her set time!
Until she got to the office the next morning
Her MD told her he was very sorry

The deal was still on but she would no longer be the one in charge of the account
The account had been unanimously given to the Strong man to handle by the management of the organization!
She was shocked to the bone!
The strong man was not a marketer!
He was an accountant!
What!!

She went to the other management staff
They spoke in whispers
She had only been in the organization for a short time
She did not know what was really going on
She couldn't help it
When she got to her desk, she wept bitterly
Her colleagues pitied and consoled her
She felt robbed!

She wrote her resignation letter
She still had accounts she could leverage upon to get a job in another bank
She called her husband
She told him everything
Her husband had hoped they would be able to get their own flat from the real estate deal
They had discussed it earlier

Her husband told her not to resign
Her husband called the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
He explained everything
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt called the wife
She explained everything
By this time, some other marketers had told her more about the strong man's reach and influence

They decided to pray!
Later that night, they set the stars in courses of conflict
A takeover was effected
A take down was confirmed
She went to the office very early the next morning
She was planning to act on her faith and tender a latter of resignation
She felt she had to!

When they got to the staff meeting
Strong man was not there
The meeting went on and on
Strong man did not arrive
Five minutes to the end of the meeting
Strong man strolled in
The MD challenged him
"Why we're you just coming in"
Strong man was not used to being challenged
What?!!!

Voices were raised
Strong man was rude
MD was furious
Tempers flared
MD ordered strong man to leave the office premises
Strong man refused
MD called security
Strong man went into fisticuffs with security men
Everything was recorded by the CCTV
People were injured
It was war!

The next morning, strong man tendered his resignation letter
It was totally against the rules for any staff member to lay a hand on another
Strong man would have been sacked!
The MD called her and apologised
The real estate account was returned to her
She didn't have to resign!

She called her husband
They celebrated
They called the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
They blessed the name of the Lord

Ps:This event happened in Lagos
The couple now lives in their property on the real estate project
Charms and enchantments must surely fail
Jesus can never fail!
