I told her how much I cherished her mode of dressing and composure.

She didn’t take my calls, I challenged her later when I came back that do you think I’m looking for girlfriend or what? Even if that was my mission you should have atleast respond to my calls and that was how we became friends. She introduced her graphics design skills with samples. I encouraged her and promised to do business with her soon.” – Ogefila
