“So, Mr. Owens.” The panel member in the middle started. “Why do you think this software of yours would be good for our company?” There was a condescending tone to the way he asked the question but I wasn’t

Okay, I’ve heard lies and I’ve heard lies. I’ve heard things that sometimes I ask myself, “Tessa, how possible it is that you didn’t clock what obvious lie this was?” It’s amazing to me the things we overlook
