Hi Bobo it is not a matter of just showing up. One of my companies does a lot of work in an area that means I use a lot of different firms. I have used this one firm for years and I have a great relationship with the owners. I spoke to them and they are always looking for good people. I made a recommendation and they gave her a interview. It was up to her to make the impression. They were impressed with her so they offered her a job. It is not like they offered her a partnership it was just an offer to work with them on some projects that they needed help with. She still has to prove herself.
Yes I believe her when she told me that she got on a train to get out of Kiev and away from her boy friend. I believe that she really loved him but the beatings and his craziness drove her to leave. It is not like she did not know Germany she lived here with her first husband and she did get her German citizenship. So she has a German passport. So there is no problem with her working in Germany.
The paying her out of her hotel was no big deal it was about 500 €. I remember saying to the guy that she is leaving and I just gave him what I had in my wallet at the time. I do not recall what the total damage was. I just wanted to get her and I out of there. It was pretty nasty.
Remember I was either her first date or one of her first dates. Yes I did pay her and she is not a big spender and no known drug habits or big addictions that I could tell. She does not even smoke. We had a few bottles of wine and champagne but nothing I would say was a problem.
Sorry if things do not add up for you. I can only comment on my experience. Sometimes things do not always add up. But is that not what life is all about. Not adding up.
