Prologue

What happens when you run away from a demon to protect your soul, your heart but he will lure you back.

Alexander McWarth is an enigma, but most of all he is a beautiful enigma. He is one of those people that you can look at but should not get close to, to protect yourself.

Emma Charlotte is your everyday average graduate girl, studied economics to get into a corporate firm and live a peaceful and easy life, and as any fresh graduate searching for a job or in her case even an internship.

What happens when life throws you lemons?... make lemonade maybe?!... but in her case she couldn't even cut the lemon.

What is in store for her? What will happen?

Emma POV

"how did you do? do you think you will get in?"

Rasta asks, huffing and puffing... this lady needs to calm down.

"Maybe" I answer, I know I am digging my own grave with one word answers but I do not hold a clue to how it went... so what should I tell her?

"What do you mean 'maybe'? I want a complete summary of how it went" she shrills.

"Look, I went in and gave my interview, the guy taking it was.... urmmm... let's just say... impassive... I don't know... well he didn't have any expressions... so I am not sure... apart from that remember the last place I applied to, well they called me, saying I got the internship but it is a short one like four weeks... so again... I don't know, I do need a job, like a proper job!...."

"... okay stop right here, (pause) I am sorry, I just want you put together quick... so I am kind of pushing it I know" Rasta says with her voice all weak.

" No!... you care for me and I understand stop saying it that way" I reprimand, knowing she will wallow in it later.

Me and Rasta have been best friends for more than a decade. She is a thriving fashion designer with small modeling shows to boot and she set her up during her college days and continued onto university. Moreso like her university would proudly show her off. She loved it though, the light, the fashion, the people, the trends. She is slowly growing and I know she will make it big!. Her infectious smile and kind heart will take her to become one of the very best. She didn't have to but she even let's me rent a room in her apartment, more like let's me use it. I don't like it and she knows that, that is the reason she lets me pay for smaller things and my rooms rent or else I wouldn't be able to live here. Her flat is great, in a good part of town in New York City.

"well... where did you get lost" her chirpy voice calling out of the kitchen now. I am sitting in living room sorting my papers, just thinking should I apply to more places but how will I handle them then.

"hmm... should I also apply elsewhere?"
