Businesswoman Chapter 241

Inside the new company, there existed no home office. The headquarters remained a PO box in Wilmington. Lisa allowed the users to power the site. Each amount of scrolling added to the revenue. No ads popped up on her site. She had gained a million subscribers in ten days and the number kept scaling upward.

She wore blue jeans and a gray blouse. She looked stately and like a stand-out all at once. With a quick glance at her smartphone, she could see the numbers on her freemium platform keep rising. Then the trolls rolled onto the scene.
