Who the bloody hell did this woman think she was? Sometimes he really, truly hated rich people.”

“I had been hired to manage the Desoto Solar Farm due to my expertise in troubleshooting solar photovoltaic farms. When my expertise uncovered it was incorrectly built and was dangerous, I became a pariah in the company.”
