The Pearl Resort, Vietnam
It was definitely one of the better perks of the job, being sent all over the world for missions, seeing exotic locations, even if you rarely had time to stop and enjoy the culture.
The task was to pose a rich young playboy who had made their fortune in Crypto at the resort and gain intel about one of the guests staying there. A young Russian oligarch who had taken an interest in arms dealing.
It would be a hard task considering the intense security around him at all times, but if anyone could do it, it was you. As you sat by the poolside sipping the last of your drink and planning your next move, your eyes were drawn to the woman stepping out of the pool.
Despite the dark sunglasses covering your eyes it was clear to know you were staring. She ran her fingers through her wet hair and sauntered towards her sun lounger to grab her towel, her red bikini clinging to her tanned and curvy frame.
She wrapped the towel around her and made her way to the poolside bar. The empty glass in your hand gave you the perfect opportunity for an introduction, besides, the Russian wasn't going anywhere.
Leaning against the bar you flagged the bartender over with your usual confidence and charming smile.
"I'll have a Vodka Martini and whatever the lady is having."
Charm and flirtation oozed from your tone as you glanced to her. She just looked you up and down and smirked.
"Is that the best you can do?"
