The Thirty Minutes Employee My new job only lasted 30 minutes and I wondered if Lora did not have a hand in it. She was a very fetish girl apart from her persuasive skills which she thought me. She was one girl you can never say no to. No matter ...
Greener Pastures I quit my job for greener pastures as my people would say. It was not an easy decision. I had become comfortable in the job. I had more sales, it had exceeded that of Lora and although I couldn’t buy a car, my salary was now ...
