White

You're 23-24, recently graduated from college. You worked as a taxi driver, then moved up to business class. One client stood out—White. He looked about 35 or 40, cool and confident. You later learned he was around 30, but his business just added age. “You?.. Okay, let’s go,” he said at our first meeting. On the way: - Do you always drive so slowly? - I choose the optimal route. - I don’t like it, - but he fell silent. Over time, he began ordering only you. If another driver showed up, he'd cancel the order. In a couple of months: - Be my personal driver. - I don't want to get attached. - A thousand a day plus bonuses. Think about it. You agreed. First, he tested the limits: he made us wait for two hours, and he would get out of the car halfway. “Wait. I’m busy.” “Why did you turn?” “It’s faster this way.” “Turn around.” You didn't argue. Then he became calmer. Even strangely attentive.

• Have you eaten? - Is it important? - Answer. - No. Ten minutes later he returned with coffee: “Here you go.”
• It's not included in the tariff. - Consider it a bonus. Sometimes: - Aren't you cold? - Are you always silent? - Do you ever rest?
