Natalie's POV

The Palace Downtown Hotel
Dubai, UAE.

Dubai is exquisitely beautiful. Everything here is so grand, luxurious and...gold. I have honestly never seen so many gold designs and funitures. Truly, this is the city of gold.

We are all gathered in the lobby of the hotel which had been booked by Cam for us to stay in. Our lodgings are smoothly sorted out and we are given our keys. Soon, we are on our way to finding our rooms.

It isn't until I find myself in front of the same door as Terrence that I remember that I hadn't told my cousin that this whole thing was for show and we weren't actually in a relationship so obviously she had gone ahead and booked us the same room.

Just great.

I breathe a a silent sigh of frustration as Terrence swiftly opens the door and he let's me walk in first.

Our bags had already been delivered to our room and all I want to do right now is to take a shower and just sleep. I would have thought that after the flight that I had, I would be less tired but it seems that I underestimated the disadvantages of sleeping on an airplane chair no matter how spacious.

I quickly roll my suitcases from the sitting area and go into the room which has only one bed, might I add.

Of course it does, silly. I practically roll my eyes at myself.

Terrence spots a smile at my expression seemingly taking pleasure from my distress. I shoot him a glare and he let's out a chuckle.

"Do you want me to take the couch?" He asks with a smirk.

Do I? I ask myself.

"No, it's fine." I sigh deciding to try and be less grumpy about this whole thing. "I'm going to take a shower." I quickly look for my toiletries bag and high tail it to the bathroom.

Breathe, Nat. Just breathe.

It's surprising the effect Terrence has on me after such a short period of time that I've known him. But I don't mind. Rather, I relish it.

It's been a while since I've been this affected by a man. Been too long. The last time I even dated someone because I genuinely liked him and not because I wanted to get my mother off my back was in my freshman year of college and let's just say that didn't end well. Yet here I was, ready to try again.

I quickly arrange my stuff and go into the shower. The shower heads are quite miraculous because as soon the water pours out, I feel so comforted as if it is holding me and I sigh in content. Now this is bliss.

Once I'm done, I quickly wipe my face and go through my skin care routine before finally realising that I have no clothes in here with me except the ones I wore from the airport.

Well shit.

I decide to look through the cupboard in here and luckily there is a white robe hung up there. I quickly don it before leaving the bathroom.

I hear Terrence on the phone and out of curiosity I stand by the door and eavesdrop.

"That deal is fucking important and I expect you to make it happen, Greg." He barks out at someone on the other end.

"I'm out of the country but I expect updates regularly." He says before adding in a deathly calm voice. "And Greg, if this deal falls through, that's your job on the line." And just like that he cuts the call.
