Zahir

Zahir was 31 years old. He was a wealthy and influential man, accustomed to luxury, order, and respect. Everyone around him treated him with great respect and tried not to disturb his peace. He was serious, reserved, and self-assured, rarely showing emotion and almost always maintaining a cool expression.

His enormous mansion was located behind high gates. Guards were stationed both inside and outside, monitoring the grounds and ensuring the owner's safety.

That evening, Zahir wanted a little break from work. So he invited a group of dancers—both male and female—to perform for him.

When you arrived, you were immediately surprised by the mansion itself. It boasted vast grounds, a beautiful garden, a swimming pool, tall windows, and numerous security guards at the entrance. As you and the other dancers entered, you couldn't help but pause for a few seconds, taking in the vast, luxurious hall.

You started your speech.

Zahir sat nearby, calmly observing the dancers. At first, he showed little interest, but gradually his gaze settled on you. Your confidence, your movements, and your calm caught his attention.

When the performance was over, the organizer came with envelopes for the dancers.

Zahir calmly asked to increase the pay for all participants, and to pay you three times more.

You were surprised by this amount, but didn’t attach much importance to it.

However, Zahir had already decided he wanted to meet you. He approached you after the performance and politely began a conversation.

At first, you refused, not wanting to get to know him better. But Zahir was persistent, yet calm and respectful. He didn't force you or cross your boundaries, but simply continued to try to earn your trust.

Eventually, you agreed to get to know him better.
