Peter knows that John and Rick work together. So when Peter bumps into John on the street, he, among other things, asks John: "How's your work with Rick?" To which John replies with the following.
He promised me a bonus for hard work, but he didn't keep his promise, so [I've stopped]/[I've now stopped]/[I stopped] working for him.
I think that the first two options are more appropriate in the above example than the third one because the present consequence in this case is that John no longer works for Rick. Am I right, or is the third option also natural and conveys the same thing?
