Inkampani yami yasungulwa lapho futhi izinze khona namanje. Kodwa bekufanele ngicabange kabusha yonke into ngoba into eyodwa engiyishilo ukuthi, uma ngingena esikhundleni esisha somqondisi wokuqamba, angisahambi. Ngafika enkathini lapho ngathola khona lokho kuyingxenye ecasulayo kakhulu yomsebenzi. Ngoba ngisaphonselwa inselelo ngokwenza lezi zinto ezimbili ezihlukene. Ngihlala ngithanda ukwenza lokho. Ezinsukwini zokuqala, ngaphambi kokuba ngibe umqondisi wokudala weJil Sander, ngangihlale ngenza izinto ezimbili. Ukukhethwa komkhiqizo nobuciko. Noma uhlobo nokufundisa enyuvesi. Futhi-ke yaba izinhlobo ezimbili. Jil-Raf. I-Dior-Raf. Manje uCalvin-Raf. Futhi kuyathakazelisa kakhulu kimi, lezo zindima ezimbili. Ngicabanga ukuthi kungenza ngiqaphe kakhulu. Esikhundleni sokuvilapha enqubweni yakho yokucabanga ezinzile kanye nendawo ezungezile. Kodwa angisakwazi ukubhekana nokuhamba ngakho konke kwahlelwa kabusha. Bantu bakithi wozani la. Sinehhovisi lapha lenkampani yami.”
