Hello there! The author is knocking your notification screen to inform you that here's another update! A hilarious or cute or maybe sad update! --------- Dubai, (Author's POV)
A warm breeze swept across the balcony of their luxurious hotel suite, overlooking the glittering skyline of Dubai. Aashika leaned back in her lounge chair, sunglasses perched on her nose, while Rose paced back and forth, holding a tablet filled with the sensitive information they had acquired from Rohit's office-at gunpoint, no less. The air was a strange mix of tension and amusement as they both processed their bold move.

"I still can't believe we pulled that off," Rose muttered, scrolling through the files. "I mean, who knew threatening people with a gun could be so... efficient?"
Aashika smirked, adjusting her sunglasses. "Oh please, it wasn't even loaded. Just a prop to make them sweat a little."
Rose stopped pacing and stared at her in disbelief. "You're kidding me. We risked our lives for some blank shots?"
Aashika raised an eyebrow, her lips curling into a mischievous smile. "Would've ruined the fun if I told you, right?"
Rose groaned, flopping down onto the couch next to her. "You're insane, dude!"
"Maybe," Aashika replied, stretching her legs out lazily. "But now we have everything we need without giving Rohit a chance to intervene. He probably hasn't even noticed half his staff shaking in their boots yet."
Rose chuckled, but then her face grew serious as she glanced at the screen again. "So, what's the next step? I mean, we've got enough dirt here to ruin that Mita."
Aashika tapped her fingers thoughtfully on the armrest, her tone more serious now. "We'll still study everything. I want every last detail. But for now..." She grinned, glancing at the pool below. "How about we take a break? We're in Dubai after all."
Rose's eyes widened. "You want to relax? After all this? Shouldn't we be, I don't know, hiding out or something?"
Aashika shrugged. "We are already hiding out. Just... in style. Plus, do you really think Rohit's going to track us here? He's probably too busy figuring out how we got past his too precious security."
Rose finally laughed, throwing her hands up in surrender. "Okay, fine. But you owe me a drink. I think I earned it after nearly giving myself a heart attack last night."
Aashika laughed, standing up. "Deal. I'll even throw in a poolside view."
As they made their way to the pool, the tension of their heist seemed to fade away, replaced by the ridiculousness of their situation. Rose, still trying to grasp how casually Aashika was handling everything, couldn't help but shake her head.
"You know," she said, "only you could turn a heist into a vacation."
Aashika winked. "That's why you love working with me, gurll!"
