Does this paragraph work? Or make sense?

I have to write a paragraph with the vocabulary words:
heresy, impervious, incongruous, ingenious, irrevocable, lucrative, paradox, platitude.

This is what I came up with:
Once, there was a middle aged man who worked in an office for ten hours a day, going to meetings everyday. Scott would listen to his colleague’s speeches, full of meaningless platitudes that would never help the company for hours on end. Though these meetings gave him a lucrative job, allowing him to retire comfortably in very few years, Scott wanted to leave the company. His incentive of becoming a hermit was so strong, that his idea became impervious to the pleadings of his friends. Finally, Scott got fed up with the ways of civilization, and thought of an ingenious plan to have a reason to escape. He decided to wear shabby clothes to his company just to look incongruous to his fellow colleagues dressed in black suits. To add to that heinous crime, Scott committed the heresy of playing “Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus in the office. His acquaintances thought him to be quite a paradox, as merely a few years ago he had spoken of the necessity to live in a civilized environment. Scotts actions in the office were irrevocable, and nothing could be done to change what had happened.

Does it make sense?
