I did find one grammatical glitch. I highlighted it in red. Virgin is a single entity I assume, so it should be 'Virgin is doing a great deal right now.'
Anyway, now you really have me curious as to who is what. You're not a ghost and I'm guessing those people aren't really cockroaches. I'll read more tomorrow and I'm sure I'll get the answer soon.

Hmm. Interesting catch. I think it's one of those things, is it they or is it it? Like when your favourite football team is playing, do you say, Aston Villa are playing or Aston Villa is playing? I always say the former, as the club is made up of separate individuals, and in the case of Virgin, yes it's a single entity but the corporation is made up of millions of little cockroaches, sorry salespeople, who offer the deals. I'd probably still say "are", just because it sounds better.
I actually seldom write in the first person, as you'll have seen from the extracts from my novel, since I like to be able to shift scenes and do things from different perspectives. It just happens to suit this story better.
Glad you're enjoying it anyway. On we go!
