In her narration on LinkedIn, the beautiful woman said her friend then mentioned a vacancy in the finance department.

She was invited for an interview. Okonji could not get her mind off the quiet gentleman at the interview. Two weeks later, she received an offer letter and started her job. Soon after, she and her interviewer started a friendship that blossomed into a beautiful relationship.
