Holiday With My Neighbour

33. I See It All

Theo's POV

Talia remained professional throughout the entire time we were in the restaurant. She didn't give it away to the guys that we both had a thing for each other. It only made me want to bend her over more. I can't wait to see her tonight.

When me and the boys return to our hotel rooms, I call Vincent and ask if I can meet with him. He agrees, so I make my way to his office and sit down on the chair opposite him.

"How have you been, Theo?" He asks with concern without trying to make it obvious.

I decide to use his concern to my advantage. "Yeah, I've been okay. I just haven't been sleeping." I say with a sigh.

"Oh yes, I can imagine. It must be difficult. Would you like something to drink or eat?" He offers.

"No, thanks, but do you have anything to help with the sleep?"

He raises a brow. "Such as?"

"Pills? Good ones, though, not the ones you can buy in the store."

"I believe I have some." He begins to search through his desk. "Here. One should be enough. They're quite strong."

"Please, can I have two? I'm worried they won't work, and I don't want another sleepless night."

"Of course." He separates two pills from the rest. "Do you want to take them now?"

"No, they're for tonight." He passes me the pills, and I place them in my pocket. "Thank you, man, you're saving my life."

He gives me a caring smile. "Anything for you, son."

"Also, there is something else. I've decided to cut my stay short. I'll be leaving Dubai tomorrow morning."

His smile drops. "Oh, why?"

I clear my throat. "I'm leaving Sav."

He takes a moment before offering. "Can I not put you in a different room or hotel?"

"No, I need to go home. I just want to be around my family."

He nods. "Of course, I understand." 

"Vincent, could you do me a favour?" I ask.

"Sure."

"I know you don't do these things, but is there a way you can cancel and refund me for the days I've booked from the day after tomorrow onwards? I don't want to spend any more on her than I already have."

"Yes, that's no problem."

I raise my brows in surprise. "Really? I thought it'd be harder than that."

Vincent chuckles. "Son, I own the hotel... Just so you know, I will need to inform your guests of the change after you leave."

"Can it not be confidential? I don't want them to know I did this."

"They need to know that the length of their stay has been shortened, but we won't mention that you requested it or the reason behind it."

"Okay, that's fine, thank you."

Vincent turns to one of his men in the room. "You got that?"

"On it, boss." He replies as he exits the room.

Vincent faces me. "I'm disappointed that you're leaving. Please join me for dinner this evening. I want to introduce you to my wife and kids."

"I'm so sorry. I wish I could take you up on that, but I have plans for tonight, and it's a bit late to cancel." I feel like I'm insulting him by rejecting him, but I can't risk this plan not working.
