Chapter 5

Josie ignored Caroline's whining while she got ready for the field inspections. Caroline kept complaining about how it was not fair that Josie was getting this opportunity to be with the sheikh while she got nothing. Josie did not see what so special about it, and that really bothered Caroline.

She got ready really quickly and ran out of the lodge. On her way to meet the sheikh, she stopped for a second to examine herself. She was wearing jean shorts, a t-shirt and military boots. Her hair was tied up in a messy ponytail. She knew the sheikh was not going to approve of her look, and it made her smile.

The sheikh was leaning against a black Range Rover when he looked up and saw Josie marching toward him with her legs bare again. He actually realized that her walk was terrible; there was nothing feminine about it. She also swung her arms slightly when she walked. He stared at her analyzing her. Josie noticed his gaze, and it made it uncomfortable to walk toward him. She kept her straight face. She too could pull off an expressionless face. She was not going to let him read her.

The sheikh was actually not wearing a suit for once. He wore khaki pants and a white polo shirt. Josie was a little surprised to see him dressed down. It looked nice on him. It made him look less serious and more playful. His face on the other hand was still as hard as stone.

“Sheikh Jamal Zahid,” Josie said as soon as she approached him. She had recently learned his name from Caroline. The sheikh slightly raised an eyebrow. She had said his full name. She never did; in fact she did not refer to him at all. She usually just said what needed to be said. He did the same.

“Miss Josie Pierce,” the sheikh said. He gestured for her to get into the car. It was surprising; they were not in a limo today. The sheikh was driving himself. Wait—this meant she had to sit in the front with him. Sitting in the front with him was new to her and was going to be awkward. She had seen men driving and while shifting the gear, they often grazed past the woman's knee. She was thinking too much. Josie shook the thoughts out of her head and got in the car.

“You can drive?” she asked as the sheikh pulled out of the lot.

“What kind of a question is that?” he asked plainly.

“You get driven around everywhere. There isn't a need for you to drive.”

The sheikh did not offer a response. He just grunted and carried on driving. Josie looked out of the window. It was going to be long, quiet and awkward drive. She reached out to switch on the radio.

“Don't,” the sheikh said without even looking. Josie's jaw dropped open.

“Oh, come on; are we supposed to just sit here in silence?” Josie switched on the radio anyway. “You need to learn how not to be so serious all the time,” she added.
