Kate's POV:

Y/N is a literal child. I just can't share the same space with him for more than five minutes and he just starts annoying the shit out of me, talking about him stealing things before he was recruited. I don't care. And to make matters worse, I'm supposed to share the same hotel room with him

We arrive in Mumbai and get in a private car that takes us to our hotel

He grabs some papers and looks at them

Y/N: Some last minute details...apparently we're very much in love. I'm Mr. James Blunt and you're Mrs. Charlotte Watson. 

I just shake my head with disaproval

Kate: My family is strict Roman-Catholic. So for appearances sake, it'll be a two bedroom suite. 

Y/N: I do hate it when religion comes between us.

Kate: Religion and a securely locked door. Am I gonna have a problem with you, L/N?

Y/N: Relax, you're not my type.

Kate: Strong and smart?

Y/N: Single.

I stay silent after his comment...unbelievable

Y/N's POV:

I know the fate of the free world is at stake here, but annoying Kate has been nice so far. Some little flirting here, some little flirting there and she just loses it

For an agent, she's very hot-headed sometimes. That's cute

We arrive at our hotel and go to the reception

Y/N: Good afternoon. Reservation for James Blunt.

Receptionist: Good afternoon, Mr. Blunt.

She hands me and Kate the keycards to our room

We then head to the elevator, but Kate stops me from going with her

Kate: Take the next one. This elevator doesn't have enough room for me and your ego.

I scoff and smile

After taking another elevator, I go to our hotel room and see Kate there

Y/N: Does this hotel room have enough space for my ego or do I have to book another one?

Kate just scoffs

Kate: Let's just get ready for this party. I can't stand another minute with you here.

She closes the bathroom door and starts getting dressed to go to the party

I go to the other bathroom and start putting on my tux

After a few minutes, we both leave our respective bathrooms

I see Kate wearing a beautiful black dress

I smile at her 

Y/N: Nice dress.

Kate: Nice tux.

We head downstairs and the receptionist talks to me

Receptionist: Mr. Blunt. There's something here for you.

She hands me a BMW key

Y/N: Thank you

We go to the driveway and see a beautiful BMW parked there

After that, we arrive at the party and I help her out of the car

Y/N: M'lady...

Kate: Shut up.

I smile at her

Kate: Let's just stick to the plan. Find Alexander and Isabelle and infiltrate their organization.

Y/N: Yeah, I trust you'll seduce the rich guy.

We split up and I see Kate heading towards Alexander

I see his bodyguard near him

After that, I see Alexander's wife, Isabelle by the bar talking to an older italian woman 

I approach them and hear the two women talking

Isabelle: Contessa, sei favolosa.(Contessa, you look fabulous)

Both of them kiss each other's cheeks, leaving a red lipstick mark on Isabelle's cheek

Contessa: Sono stato a dieta, mia Dera. Solo caviale e champagne.(I've been on a diet, my dear. Only caviar and champagne)

The Contessa then looks at me

Contessa: E chi potresti essere?(And who might you be?)

Y/N: James Blunt. Come stai, Contessa?(James Blunt. How are you, Contessa?)

I kiss her hand and take her golden bracelet while she's not looking

The Contessa leaves us

Y/N: Excuse me.

Isabelle then turns to face me and smiles

I take my handkerchief and wipe off the lipstick on her cheek

Y/N: Contessa's a little heavy on the lipstick.

Isabelle: And you're a little light with your fingers.

Y/N: I doubt she'll miss it.

I put the Contessa's bracelet on her wrist

Isabelle: So, you're a thief.

Y/N: I like to call myself a specialist in complicated aquisitions.

Isabelle: I hope you wear a mask.

Y/N: Sometimes...just never when I'm stealing things.

I hear Kate and Alexander having a very friendly conversation over my earpiece

Y/N: So...I saw the news. Congratulations on the takeover.

Isabelle: Don't congratulate me, congratulate my husband...who's right now talking to that lovely girl that came with you. Who is she, by the way?

I then try to think about a lie

Y/N: A childhood friend. Our mothers were really close, we went to Harvard together and everything. She's like a little sister, you know? 

Isabelle: I see. And about your skills, what is it exactly that you think you can do for me, Mr. Blunt?

Y/N: Let's just say I fill gaps in important collections. Those one or two special pieces that are impossible to acquire without the requisite skill set.

She smiles

Isabelle: I'd better give the Contessa back her bracelet. Why don't you pop into my London office some time, let's say next week. So we can talk more about filling in my gaps.

I smile at her

Y/N: I'll try not to disappoint

After that, Kate and Alexander come to where we are

Isabelle: There you are, honey. This is James Blunt, specialist in art.

Alexander: Nice to meet you.

I shake Alexander's hand

He was also wearing a black tuxedo, much like mine

Alexander: Darling this is Charlotte. And I believe you and her know each other, Mr. Blunt.

Y/N: That's right.

Isabelle: If you'll excuse us, me and my husband have to go greet some other faces.

They leave me and Kate there

After a while, we return to the hotel without axchanging a word

I then decide to break the ice when we get to our room

Y/N: What do you think of Alexander Novak?

Kate: I think he's a good-looking gazzilionaire who offered me a job in their aerospace division.

Do I detect some jealousy in her voice? Maybe she heard me and Isabelle talking about "filling gaps". That's cute

Y/N: Uh-huh.

Kate: This is embarassing, but...help me unzip here?

I unzip her dress

Kate: Don't go getting any ideas, L/N. I still can't stand you.

Y/N: I wouldn't dream of it. Just because you're into me, it doesn't mean I'll be falling head over heels for you, Bishop.

Kate: I'm not into you. Isabelle is into you.

After that, I receive a call from M 

Y/N: M.

M: Mission progress, Y/N.

Y/N: I've managed to get a meeting with Isabelle and Ka-...agent Bishop has managed to get a meeting with Alexander too. London, next week. When do I get to see Viktor, by the way?

M: He's an ermit. We don't know shit about his whereabouts.

Y/N: Got it.

M: And Y/N, focus on the mission, not on the girl.

My eyes widen at M's comment

Y/N: I don't know what you're talking about.

M: Sure, I'll ask the woman I sent to evaluate you if she agrees with that..

I hang up the phone

When I return to the room, I see Kate sleeping on one of the beds

I put a blanket over her so she can't feel cold during the night

After that, I go to sleep as well
