Chapter 19 – Telling Lies

• My job was my life.
• It was interesting work; my clients ranged from singers to actors, even unemployed rich women stopped by. Each had their own charm, and I treated them all equally with respect and patience. This approach had already earned me a fat sales commission and a lot of tips in the last two weeks, much to the annoyance of my colleagues. Their haughtiness didn't seem to benefit them much; customers were turned off by their unkindness and headed straight in my direction instead.
• My work had not only become a well-paid job for me but also a passion in which I fully indulged. It was very satisfying to see women and children leave the store much happier than when they entered. We received few male customers; it was often the women who did the shopping for their partners. Our online sales to CEOs and other influential individuals were also growing steadily.
