Businesswoman cries out over her shop
Meanwhile, Legit previously reported that a businesswoman who left her shop in the hands of a salesgirl had cried out over how she met it.
The businesswoman posted a TikTok video of the few goods left in her hair shop and promised never to let anyone take over her business.
She wondered how people leave their businesses with people and still survive. According to her, she was away for six months and found the shop a shadow of its former self upon her return.
