                  Giselle hired friends and family on an as-needed part-time basis

              to assist with proposal and marketing. She had earned enough money
              from the temporary gigs to bring on consultants. Giselle also became

              a  consultant  on  the  contract,  keeping  her  salary, at  the  same  time
              generating revenues for CGS. I can say Giselle was always about her

              business.

                  A year after we moved with METS, Jerome was able to schmooze

              a million-dollar contract from one of his previous clients, and Giselle

              was able to  become  full-time  with CGS.  I  became  a consultant  to
              METS and CGS.


                  At the same time, Shannon from Cox and Associates had become
              unemployed  and  needed  work.  This  was  my  first-time  meeting

              Shannon and from the beginning, I knew I could not trust her. I just
              did not like the way she had Giselle and Jerome wrapped around her

              finger.  She  was  straight  up  ghetto.  When  she  and  Jerome  came
              together, the entire office became ghetto. Giselle always maintained

              her professionalism and she understood about corporate America and
              my  background.  I  always  and  still  wonder  why  Giselle  had  hired

              Shannon.


                  Giselle  hired  Shannon  as  an  administrative  assistant  for  CGS
              making a salary of 35,000 and METS hired her as a consultant. Jerome
              and I remained working at IT Solutions until the contract we were

              working on ended. We became full time under CGS, two years later.
