The Billionaire's Desire 2: Dubai Confidental by Ashley Blake

 
           CHAPTER ONE
                I couldn’t believe how my life
had changed in the last week.  Here I was at Chanel on Madison Avenue, with a
corporate credit card, buying a handbag without thinking twice about the price
tag.  I had to pinch myself when I thought about the incredible opportunity
that had landed in my lap.  I was leaving for Dubai in two days, for a month on
business, and the company was buying me a whole new designer wardrobe.  Joshua
wanted me to only wear designer clothes on this trip.  I didn’t own any high
end designer anything so this was going to be a completely new world for me. 
It took a few hours for me to wrap my head around the fact that Joshua Hunter,
billionaire CEO of Hunter International, the company where I worked, was the
gorgeous stranger I had seen every morning on the train for the last few
weeks!  I felt like I was in a dream watching someone else’s fabulous life that
was about to unfold.   
                I was shopping on the Upper
East Side for a couple of outfits for the trip.  Joshua told me I would be
shopping for everything else in Dubai.  Designer clothes really were not my
thing but I was doing what he asked of me because my ultimate goal was to make
partner with his company.  We had an agreement.  I had to do everything he
desired for 30 days and, in return, he would give me the inside scoop on the
fast track to a partnership with his company. 
                When I shopped for clothes in
the past, as long as the clothes looked professional, I didn’t really pay much
attention to who made them.  But I will admit, it was a nice treat to buy
something without having to worry about the price tag.  Once I made partner, I
knew my salary would increase several times over, but I doubted I would ever
willingly spend this kind of money on clothing and handbags.   My next stop was
Dolce & Gabbana to buy clothes and Christian Louboutin for shoes.  I also
bought beautiful lingerie at La Perla.  Since part of my agreement with Joshua
included doing everything he desired, I figured I should have something
beautiful for him to see underneath my gorgeous clothes.  When I finished
shopping that day I was excited and exhausted.  I was still trying to wrap my
brain around the fact that I was going to Dubai.  The rest of the weekend I
packed and got everything in order so that I could be gone for 30 days.
                On Sunday, a beautiful black
limo picked me up at my apartment at 9:00 p.m., and drove me to the airport.  I
was wearing a gorgeous Dolce shirt with black pants, new Louboutin’s and
carrying a new Chanel handbag.  I felt sexy and confident about my appearance
for the first time in my life.  I always felt confident about my work because I
had always been a driven person, but this was a whole new feeling of confidence
for me and I liked it.   
                The car drove me to the
terminal and I went inside to security.  Joshua was already there when I
arrived and he came over to greet me.
                "Are you all set for the
trip?"
                "I'm all set."
                I saw the look of approval in
his eyes when he quickly scanned my attire.
                "I see you purchased new
clothes.  Very nice choices.”
                “Thank you.”
                We moved through security
pretty quickly and were taken to the small waiting area and then out onto the
tarmac.  It was so incredible to see that amazing private jet waiting there
knowing that I was going to be on it.    
                “As I told you before, you can
do the rest of your shopping in Dubai.  We should get settled on the jet. 
We'll be taking off pretty soon."
                It was silly, but it felt good
to know that he liked what I picked to wear.  I had to be careful because I was
starting to care what he thought.  As I
