Studying fashion design, she was on the lookout for a good internship opportunity. So when she saw an opportunity to work for a famous fashion house, she immediately applied, only to land a job as an assistant to the elusive Jaxon Craddock, a famous figure in the world of fashion designing. After many bitter experiences with women, twenty-nine-year-old Jaxon disliked and distrusted all women in general. He was surprised to see a single female application to his ad for a male assistant.
