the bottle slipped from his hand and broke as he was nervous looking at the beautiful girl.
The cost of the perfume was
Rs 14,000 and it was his second or third day at work.
He added, he admitted his mistake in front of the store manager the next day and they decided to deduct the amount from his salary in two month instalments to compensate for the broken bottle.
