Sophie reached into her leather bag and pulled out the album. “I’ve worked on many different projects, take a look.. I can adapt to many situations.”
The woman sat behind the desk adjusted her glasses and flipped absentmindedly through the pages. “Love, this is all very standard.

A small advert in the corner caught her eye. Interesting . Sophie entered the number into her mobile phone. Taking a deep breath she pressed the call button…..
