Chapter 8
"Pandora´s box"
Hazel
As soon as I close my notebook, ending the quick chat with my sister, I notice that Jonathan Turner answered to my message:
"At. Mosphere, meet me at the front door, at 7 pm. Bring a Hijab. Appropriate clothes."
At. Mosphere? I think for a moment. Ahhh, the famous Atmosphere. Both forms of writing its name are used, and I didn't recall it immediately. The highest restaurant in the world, on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world! A choice to impress?
I had already attended a small event at the Tower. But I only had time to enjoy part of the beauty of the Armani Hotel lobby. Enough to grasp the luxury of that place that I definitely wanted to have more time to explore.
It's still early to dress up, but I choose the clothes right away. Hmm, appropriate attire and a Hijab... Okay, Mr. Turner, - I think to myself - don't assume
Chapter 9A million dirhams for your thoughtsJonThe table is set for the two of us. Obviously, my spot is reserved. I've had a permanent place at Atmosphere since I arrived, after all, a man who pays in cash is always welcome.. They always offer me card machines to make my life easier, but in reality, few things make me use credit cards. I like to control the money going out and coming in. Much more of it is going out, and that's one of the reasons why I prefer to use my dirhams*.Atmosphere is a beautiful restaurant on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa. Everything in Dubai is extravagant, as desired by the Sheikh. Restaurants are no different. It offers a panoramic view of the entire city and a decor that blends bold design with the antiquated. Wooden tables and leather-upholstered seats, but the ceiling with beams resembling golden steel. A very nice place to take a very beautiful woman like her. I help her descend the stairs, and she seems to be en
chapter 10AuthenticityHazelStanding in the Atmosphere lounge, I try to appreciate the beautiful city view. The buildings, predominantly illuminated with white and blue lights, blink in a way that makes it seem like they're dancing. Dancing. Did he really say I won't be able to dance anymore? I even argued from a financial point of view. But dancing, to me, is much more than just paying the bills. Without dancing, I'll become like the view from above in the middle of a blackout. The city is there, but no one sees it; it doesn't shine anymore. I let out a sigh.I look back and see if Jonathan, who had gone to pay the bill, has returned to pick me up. He led me to the lounge, saying the view was even more beautiful. He's a smart man and preempted so I wouldn't back out. Now my bills are paid, I own an apartment that can comfortably accommodate my mother and sister. Being innocent, I thought I'd have more negotiating power... Jonathan walks towards the lounge in my direction. An older
Unexpected VisitJonThat little quip delivered at the right moment would surely make her want to smash a potted plant over my head. I chuckle softly; it's fun to tease Hazel because she actually takes it seriously. Fat... she's the sexiest woman I've ever seen. And I can say that confidently, I know a few genuinely beautiful women who are as natural as she is. I glance at her silhouette in the rearview mirror, already fading into the distance. That apartment is perfect for tourists. It has a beautiful architecture, and if I'm not mistaken, I know who designed it. I've had my eye on Dubai for years. This is the project of a lifetime. Despite having succeeded in other ventures, the best ones gain even more visibility when the construction company achieves something significant in Dubai. Aziz will be there in a meeting tomorrow. He'll probably ask about Hazel. Thankfully, I've already presented my contract proposal to her. Well, it's not exactly a contract, altho
Hazel's ApartmentHazelDespite having been in Dubai for a few months now, I still have a bit of difficulty adjusting to the time zone difference. It's already past 9 in the morning here, which would be 6 in the morning in London. With a profession that's primarily nocturnal, I've long acquired the habit of staying up late. I remember that in the first few weeks after arriving in Dubai, I had a strong inclination to work late into the night at the bars I had contracts with. When the performances were mainly at bars, alongside the girls who came here around the same time as I did, there was no issue with waking up late. I recall that sometimes we would all leave work together still full of energy, and sometimes we'd go to sleep after 2 in the morning and only wake up past 10. That was the time when we shared an apartment. It was fun. But I needed a place of my own to welcome my mother and later my sister, who is still in medical school.To earn more money, workin
Chapter 12 The most gorgeous spender in Dubai Part 1 Jon I receive a notification on my phone at noon the next day. New credit card statement: $3,750. I'm at the construction site of the new project, having coffee after lunch. I choke on the amount Hazel spent. It takes me a while to get back to my senses. By Allah! Over 3 thousand dollars for a dress? I had sent her a card through the driver and didn't think she could reach the limit I set on the card, which was $5,000. I know Dubai is expensive, but Gucci? Couldn't she have chosen a less expensive store?! I press the keys on my phone to call her as I watch the men start working. I remove my safety helmet to speak on the phone. "Hello, Jonathan, I was thinking about you!" She has the audacity to say she was thinking about me?! Of course she was thinking about me, she spent almost the entire card, I must look like an idiot to her! "Thinking about me, Hazel? Thinking what,

CHAPTER 13FamilyHazelSaturday arrived in a blink of an eye. The day is beautiful, and since I don't have any important commitment today, I've canceled almost anything else. I'm taking the opportunity to stroll through the streets of Jumeirah Village Circle. It's truly a good place to live. I hadn't had the chance to explore the area more thoroughly. Today, I've decided to take the morning to walk leisurely; I don't intend to exercise, just enjoy the view and observe people and the shops.This has been the most unusual week I've experienced since arriving in Dubai. Aside from the day Aziz chased me in his car through the city streets, what a lunatic! These last few days have been quite eventful.Carmen is right; I should treat this time like a vacation. Months of long and endless work, dancing every day, sometimes for more than 4 hours, and having to move from one location to another had been quite stress
CHAPTER 14A funfairJonI'm about to take a shower when I receive a message from Hazel.“Can you come by after work? I need to talk about my apartment.” What made her think I work on Saturdays? Saturday is sacred in the Muslim world. Especially at this hour, 7 PM. I've just finished a call with my future submissive, possibly, and that delightful teaser sends me a message, but I don't even bother answering her. I put on a shirt and think about what to do this Saturday night after finding out what she wants. This time, I put on something lively on the radio as I drive to her apartment. I usually try to listen to rock, and sometimes even classical music, but not tonight. I want to think about her while I head to her place. Jumeirah Village Circle, is not far away from my house, and I arrive in her apartment in less than half an hour. I give my name at the entrance and drive in. As I'm about to knock on t
