When a Thai caregiver arrives in Dubai, her only goal is to earn enough to support her family back home. She never expects to capture the attention of the powerful and enigmatic CEO she works for. But beneath his cool, calculated exterior lies a man whose heart may be ready to thaw. In a city where ambition rules and love is a game, can she turn his world upside down and find her place in his heart?
Ananya Suri, a 28-year-old Thai, stepped into Dubai's sprawling airport, carrying her small suitcase and dreams of giving her family a better life in Thailand. It's not the first time he's moved away for work, but it's the biggest and most important step he's taken.
As she walked out of the terminal, Ananya made her way to where she would be picked up. The heat of the desert greeted him like a heavy blow, a reminder that he was far from the cool breeze of his home. Every step was mixed with trepidation and excitement, but the determination to succeed for his family prevailed.
Not long after, a black limousine pulled up in front of him. A middle-aged man, wearing a neat suit, came down and politely extended his hand. "Miss Suri? I am Ahmed, assistant of Mr. Khalid. Are you ready for a new chapter in your life?"
Ananya nodded, trying to hide her nervousness. Ahmed took her in the car, and they traveled to the mansion where she was to work. As they drove along the smooth roads of Dubai, Ananya couldn't help but admire the towering buildings and elegant scenery that make up the city's skyline.
When they arrived at the mansion, Ananya was greeted by an impressive building. It is large and modern, with a wide garden and a fountain in the middle of the driveway. As they entered, they were greeted by a woman with long gray hair, who introduced herself as Mrs. Almasi, the housekeeper of the Khalidi family.
"Welcome, Miss Suri. I will be your guide during your first days here," said Mrs. Almasi in a gentle tone. "I will introduce you to Mr. Khalid. He is in his office now."
Ananya was led into a spacious office where a man sat with his back to the window, facing a large desk filled with papers and several electronic gadgets. Hearing the door open, the man slowly approached. It was James Khalidi, Ananya's employer.
James has a tall and muscular build, and his face reflects his mixed Arab-American heritage. His eyes, which seemed to be piercing, immediately made Ananya nervous.
"Miss Suri, thank you for coming. I hope you know the importance and weight of your responsibilities here," James said in a cold and calm tone. Ananya nodded, trying to keep her voice calm. "Yes, Mr. Khalid. I will do everything to meet your expectations."
"Good," James replied, then looked back at his papers. "My father is in your care. I do not expect any shortcomings. Mrs. Almasi will give you a detailed tour of the house and explain your duties. If you have questions, he's the one you turn to."
After their conversation, Ananya was led by Mrs. Almasi for the house tour. Mrs. explained Almasi inspected every part of the large home, from the bedrooms to the kitchen, and introduced him to the rest of the staff as well.
On her first night, as she was getting ready for bed in her new room, a call from James suddenly changed the course of the night. "Miss Suri, I need you in my father's office, immediately."
What happened? Why did James need him right away? That call sent another wave of nervousness through Ananya, who now had to face an unexpected situation on her first day at work.
As Ananya quickly dressed, her mind was filled with questions and doubts. What happened and why is he suddenly needed? He has not yet fully adjusted to his new environment and responsibilities, and now there is an urgent need.
In her haste, Ananya almost tripped over the edge of her joy. When he reached the door of James' father's office, he took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself before knocking.
"Come in," was the cold call from inside. When Ananya opened the door, she saw James standing next to the bed where her father was lying. The expression on James' face was serious and seemed to carry deep concern.
"Miss Suri, good evening. Sorry for the sudden call," James said, not showing any emotion. "There is something unexpected happening. My father suddenly woke up and seems restless. I need your help to calm him down."
Ananya nodded and approached the bed, she gently held the old man's hand. "How are you?" he asked softly, trying to convey his concern and support. The old man looked at him, his eyes showing confusion and fear.
In the next few minutes, Ananya used her experience as a caregiver to gently calm the old man down. He sang a lullaby that he often sang to his past pets, a simple melody that brought peace and security.
As he calmed James' father down, he didn't notice that James was quietly watching him. His cold expression gradually changed to a slight admiration and gratitude. Perhaps, in those moments, James saw the value of having someone caring and trustworthy by his father's side.
When the old man finally fell asleep, James approached Ananya. "Thank you, Miss Suri. I didn't expect you to do it this well," he said, his voice tinged with respect that he hadn't shown before.
"I'm ready to help at any time, Mr. Khalidi. It's part of my job," Ananya replied, now with some confidence in her tone.
Before leaving the room, James stopped and turned around. "Tomorrow, I want to talk to you about additional responsibilities. Get ready," he reminded, then left for good.
When Ananya was alone, she thought about the sudden change in the wind. What does James mean by "additional responsibilities"? And how will this affect his work and his stay in Dubai?
As she returned to her room, Ananya carried mixed feelings of worry and hope. His first day in Dubai turns out to be more complicated and complicated than he expected, but he is ready to face any challenge that comes his way, for the sake of his dreams and the well-being of his family far away.
