I know that the chapters are pretty short but I hope that daily updates kinda compense that .. :)

"It is seven pm and twenty-nine degrees in Rome. Hope you have a nice stay!" The announcement came over the plane's speakers and everyone started standing up and getting their carry on luggage from where it had been stowed during the flight.
Ana sighed as the smelly man leaned over her to take his things.
Now she was the smelly one.
Since both her new 'friends' were not very careful, her tee shirt smelled like whiskey and ketchup. And not to mention the man's initial smell that now coated her, too. She sighed as she took her bag and walked to the exit. This was already bad. She had slept for only an hour, and she smelled and felt horrible. And tomorrow they had to meet the client.
When she thought it couldn't get any better she saw Christian waving to her.
"Steele." He said as she walked towards him.
"Grey." Ana said as she reached him, but she kept her distance. Regardless, she noticed his face change as he obviously smelled her.
"Not everyone had a great flight," Ana said as she took out her passport for the arrival checkpoint.
"It is not my fault you can't manage to get a normal seat for yourself." Christian said as he also pulled out his passport.
"Nothing bad happened to me because I flew here like a normal person."
"Except I am ashamed to walk with you."
"No one is asking you to. There are plenty of other women waiting for you to approach them." Ana replied and went in front of him as it was her turn for the passport check.
"I would be glad to be walking with one of them instead of you, but sometimes life is life and you can't do what you want." Christian said as he waited for her to pass the check point, then he quickly passed it as well.
"Well, I am sorry for you and definitely for the girls who didn't get a chance to be accompanied by the one and only Christian Grey. It must be so perfect to be showered with lame compliments then taken to dinner, to bed and left the next morning. How I wish my life was like that."
"Well, I have to make you feel relieved because that sad scenario is never going to happen to you. And unfortunately I am never going to be that man to take off your tee shirt and go to bed…to probably read a book. I can do so much better. I hope there isn't anyone I know because you are the last person I want to be seen with." Christian said, earning an angry look from her.
They went to the baggage claim and stood there, not saying anything.
"I am glad we make such good team. And you don't have to accompany me – I know where our hotel is. Look," Ana pointed at a blonde bimbo looking woman, "there is someone made for you. She would be much better for your image than me since there could be paparzzi to take photos of you, right Mr. Self Obsessed?"
"Very funny, Steele." Christian said and pointed to the same fat man with whom Ana had sat next to on the plane. "Isn't that your next husband?"
"Unfortunately no, Grey, because I can do better, too. Better than him, and better than you." Ana said and went to the conveyer belt as she saw her bag.
She hated his arrogance. What did he think he was? The hottest man in the world? The most wanted man ever?
He was just the stupidest idiot she knew.
She truly knew that this was not her day when she tried to take her bag from the claim.
Well, she got it, but she was lying on the ground with the bag since it was so heavy that it made her fall with it.
Of course, everyone had to look. Someone could have at least helped her so that idiot didn't have to do it.
Unfortunately he was the only one.
"I could have helped you with your bag."
"Well, it must have been hard for you to see me when there are so many things distracting you, don't you think?" Ana asked Christian as she looked around the airport. The place was full of women with breasts hanging out of their blouses.
It was Italy, and it was hot.
But tomorrow she would be the one distracting him.
And learning his plans for the client.
"Now, I think I can manage to find a taxi on my own. See you tomorrow, Grey." With that Ana took her bag and walked away.
Tomorrow would be a shocking day for someone.
