Outreach
HE'S MY MANAGER. HE'S MARRIED. BUT SOME THINGS ARE MEANT TO BE...
When Emily was offered a new job in London, she was sure that her life was about to change – new friends, a career in the big city and the boyfriend she always wanted.
Her new life turns out to be more complicated than she expected. Her flat mates don’t understand her. Her colleagues mock everything about her. Even her father doesn’t support her. The only person who offers her any encouragement is David.

But some things are meant to be…
