African American Black Sad

She always wanted to be employed and so Debbie decided to start up small businesses in order to make some small bit of cash where ever she could, she also used to do small jobs like cleaning offices ,arranging books in offices,ushering, selling clothes and so many jobs.

She kept on applying for so many jobs hoping that she will get a job then one day she landed on some one whom she knew was a head of a big company, he approached her,greeted er and so she replied, though it was awkward he invited her into her office and they talked,he asked her about her employment time which Debbie replied to she wasnot financially stable but was doing odd jobs.

Company head there fore says: I have a job for you for my new office. I need some one to manage and also be my secretary.

Debbie replied, I am ready to do all the work.sir for as long as my salary is fully paid.

Company head goes ahead and offers her a salary of about 400$ monthly of which obliged too because she hadn't received a job that would give her that much.

Eventually he also tells her sometimes am.not in office am not around am away, and on such days you are free not to work.

Debbie was over joyed, she felt like she had landed a job of her dreams and she had apple time with her daughter especially picking her from school at the right time.

Eventually she started her Job and her boss introduced her to some of the people in the office, she didn't mind cause she knew all had to do was her boss's work.

Eventually the first day was great there was work to do,paper work,meetings and writing down the mintues then filing all the necessary paper work and booking in for boss his appointments as well as travel agencies.

Time passed and things were moving on well and she was happy that she landed a job of her dreams and she was able to help out in the house bills at home especially buying for her daughter some of the things she dreamed of.

Eventually as the boss started to travel he showed interest in her and she thought yes maybe and he would send her a few gifts or buy her lunch, which wasn't a bad thing and it was not entirely sexual, he treated her well and introduced her to her kids who loved her daughter. Life seemed pretty good and he started to travel leaving her with her payment especially of he knew he would take longer.

In between the year things started to change and he started to act funny,disappear and leave the country without informing her,then she later found out there were several women. She was devastated and on top of that she was never paid, the person in charge of paying her ,she would never pay her but rather use her money with her family,time passed and Debbie started to use her savings to survive hoping that they would be put back but littel did she know ot was the beginning 0f her misery.

Eventually she was transferred in another place in the guise of she's a very hard working person and she can manage the other place better and pull it up especially trace the money inputs and outputs.

She worked well and started to bring up the other fallen company saving the money and putting it directly on his account without paying her self, mean while her money was running low and her boss didn't care only to find out that he had brought in another woman, with a better body shape, she put all her strengthand energyinto this companyto pull it up, she advertised, made friends with the employees, tried to satisfy clientsand impress them.,held.monday meetings with employeesso that everyone knows what is need to be done weekly, as well as have an interpersonal relationshipwith her employees. She did her very best to impresshim.and wanted him.to.come and appreciatethe work.the employees do. As Tim passed she was running low and realizedit was only a scam, away to get her out of the way so as for him to bring in some one else,he was tired of her and reality hit hard for Debbie not knowingwhat to do,it was a plan all a long,she remembered the meetingshe had with him.when they first met and she remembered when she shared the news with her big brother who knows her boss well and he advised to be careful because he's a scam and she told a few friends who shared some of the bad things that happened to them. She just didn't want to believe it then because she was over joked,she overlooked all the warnings, she thought she had landed the best job, she cried ,fell into depression, life changed,she lost all her money and yet up to now he has never cared for her and will never, he only took her for granted because of her kind heart,Debbie had to leave penniles and search for a job yet she hasn't even found one but he used to tell her how he will get her a better job as according to her educational level, Debbie learnt a life lesson the harshest way possible. He had exchanged her and thrown her out of the way just like that,she was so devastated, days passed and months passed she became broke and didn't know what to do. She was depressed all she did was to confront and leave him....all that she thought was a lie the dream job was never a dream job it was just a lie that wasted her time and money with so many empty promises. Life was hard but she learned to move on. Eventually boss has married another woman though it was painful and he kept sending her messages lying to her him not knowing she already knows.

Debbie made a loss,shes6in love with someone who will never be hers even though she told him all she wishes is to have him a pure dream job not a scam.
