construction skyscraper hotel project in Dubai, UAE was shopping her abaya from
one of the branded outlets inside from Dubai Mall while husband Abeer buying
home groceries from grocery store. After coming out of the ladies garments
shop, she felt thirsty so sat outside Juice Bar to quench her thirst and ordered
waitress to fetch fresh orange juice to drink. Meanwhile, she received a call
from Abeer in her smart phone, informing her that he had bought weekly
groceries items, asked her whereabouts so Manahil guided him to reach there.
When he
reached, saw she was reading WhatsApp messages in mobile phone and drinking
juice, suddenly she received a phone call from the CEO of company instructed
her to reach immediately on site. Hearing his call, Manahil face went down,
apprised Abeer the entire situation, she opened the Uber app and then booked a
ride.
Hurriedly she
reached there, went inside site office, the project manager stunned to see she
was looking pretty in her bodycon dress. It was an embarrassing moment for
Manahil because sleeveless attire revealing her curvy figure before a male
colleague as she was not expecting such business call at such odd hours.

realizing job challenge, she decided to move forward while listening the
problem she was reminded that the skyscraper had 1,000 hotel rooms but they confronted one major problem during
painting and that was how many times
would the painter required to paint the number 9 in each of hotel room?

this business query like a riddle, Manahil couldn't utter the answer so she
insisted him to take her towards some of the hotel rooms. When she stepped

for a moment, looking at such curvy figure, reminisced about Marilyn Monroe,
Sophia Loren, and Kim Kardashian among site among labors.
It was a hot

from her forehead prompted her to open her purse and she sprayed deodorant over
her entire body in front of site workers including project manager. The fragrance
was so alluring that had attracted most men seductively unintentionally towards
her. Standing the hotel room balcony from the fifty nine floor, Manahil
indulged to see the downtown Dubai but she couldn't stayed for long time due to
hot winds. Seeing her in irritating, she was informed that air conditioning
units hadn't installed yet.

painter whom he apprised the problem. Unexpectedly one of the painter from
India to whom she was talking, he had short height in front of the tall height

like riddle, Manahil spoken that a painter would be needed to paint the number nine 9 two hundred 200 times on each of
hotel door and in that way the correct
numbers would be 9, 19, 29, 39, 49,
