Chapter Five: Devil In A Red Dress:
I took another deep breath as I pulled the wooden door open and wandered through the office, overwhelmed with the feeling of remembrance of my last job - repetition of this industry - not just the fashion world, but the editing world. With documents piled high, issues scattered around the room and certificates on the walls, I couldn't help but become reminded of my previous Boss, Kyle Tarbard's office.
I began by making small steps, steadying myself, trying to make a small impression before she assumed anything too pessimistic about me.

Then a year old pause took over.
"Well I have always had a passion for the fashion industry. I was inspired to become a designer by your outstanding designs. I have dreamt of this moment since I was a little girl.
