It was the first time Jennifer had ever worked, so she was glad to have the experience. The job consisted mostly of dealing with phone calls and tourists who came into the office. There was a young man called Howard who worked there too. He was rather shy. She often saw him looking at her. When she looked back at him, he used to go red in the face. One day he invited her out to the cinema. She said she wanted to study that evening. But he looked very sad and she felt sorry for him. Finally, she said she would go with him after all. After that Jennifer went out with Howard several times. He was very kind and generous, and in a way, she was rather fond of him. Unfortunately, his feelings for her were much deeper than that. One evening he suddenly told her he loved her and he hoped they would get married. At first Jennifer was so surprised that she didn’t know what to say. Finally, she told him marriage was out of the question until she finished university. Then, one day, a well-dressed American came into the office and asked for a list of good hotels. They started talking and he told her he was a professional photographer. He also said he was looking for new faces. When he mentioned his name, she realized she had heard it before. He was Adam Sutherland and his photos were used in some very famous magazines. He said she had a fine face and he would like to take a few pictures of her. Then he invited her to lunch later in the week. Howard had been there and he had heard everything. Jennifer could see that he was very jealous. In fact, she was very eager to see Sutherland again. She could hardly wait. Jennifer knew it was a wonderful opportunity and she couldn’t afford to miss it.
