It's been 5 months since the ladies arrived in Lewes Beach for their Sales and Marketing Internship. They were all very lucky to be spending 20 hours per week in one of the biggest fashion industry in Delaware, the Aquamarine Style Co. They were participating in the overall operation which was really training them well in the different fields. Their manager, Valerie, a European, was married to Antonio, who was working as a manager of Walmart in downtown. Zach, his brother, had been helping Valerie in managing the boutique. She was very sweet and cool to work with, but super strict to daily performance, or SALES to sum it all up. She allowed the ladies to find a second job as long as it would not interfere to their primary work. Most of the ladies refused except for Sarah and Faye who we're working in Asia's Best, an Asian restaurant along the Main Street. It was all about Aquamarine Style Co. at first until the ladies met the hottest guys in Lewes. Who would stay to live a fresh start? Who would leave to forget everything? It's one decision that would change it all. It's one choice that would hurt either way. It's a battle between the past and the present.
