In the heart of a bustling city, there stood a luxury watch store known as AUM, a name that resonated with opulence and exclusivity. The store was a sanctuary for the affluent, adorned with marble floors, golden accents, and showcases filled with timepieces that sparkled like stars. It was a place where status was measured not just by wealth, but by the aura one carried.
One sunny afternoon, a man entered the store, dressed in a simple gray shirt, faded jeans, and a worn-out cap. His name was Keanu Reeves, a name that echoed in the hearts of many, yet in that moment, he was just another customer trying to blend in. As he stepped inside, the judgmental glances of the staff pierced through him, but he remained calm, his demeanor unshaken by the condescension that surrounded him.
Keanu walked slowly, his hands tucked in his pockets, his eyes scanning the displays with a quiet curiosity. He stopped in front of a magnificent watch, its diamonds glistening under the soft lights. The price tag, though discreet, was enough to separate the curious from the serious buyers. An employee, tall and clad in a suit that likely cost more than a car, approached him with a smirk that betrayed his disdain.
“Can I help you?” he asked, his tone neutral but laced with condescension.
Keanu, unfazed, pointed at the most expensive watch in the display. “I’d like to know more about this watch,” he replied, his voice calm yet direct.
The employee blinked, momentarily taken aback. “That watch costs well more than most people can imagine,” he said, leaning slightly as if to confirm that Keanu was indeed pointing at the priciest model.
“I know. I want more details,” Keanu replied, his tone unwavering.
The employee crossed his arms, a mocking smile creeping onto his face. “Well, I’m not sure it’s exactly the type of piece you would be looking for. Perhaps I can show you something more accessible.”
Keanu’s gaze remained fixed on the watch, ignoring the employee’s sarcasm. “I just want to know about the watch. Can you explain it to me?” he asked, his voice serene.
The employee chuckled lightly, shaking his head. “Sure, sir. It’s made of 18-karat white gold with diamond inlays, fully automatic, designed by one of Switzerland’s finest watchmakers. Only five exist in the world—a true classic, priced about the same as a small apartment. Would you like to know more?”
Keanu remained calm, unaffected by the employee’s irritation. “Could you show me how it works?” he asked.
The employee laughed in disbelief. “Show you how it works? Really? This isn’t the kind of watch you just try on. It’s a collector’s piece, meant for someone who understands what they’re holding.”
“I just want to see how it works. Didn’t you say it’s automatic?” Keanu pressed, his tone firm but polite.
The employee narrowed his eyes, visibly annoyed. “No offense, but this kind of watch isn’t for just anyone. Do you even realize how much it costs, or are you just curious?”
Keanu lifted his gaze, locking eyes with the employee. “I don’t think the price is relevant right now. I’m asking to see the watch.”
The employee let out a short laugh, shaking his head. “Sure, price isn’t relevant,” he said, pausing to let the sarcasm sink in. “Well, just in case, let me inform you—it’s $300,000. Got that? Three hundred thousand,” he emphasized, as if explaining it to a child.
Keanu kept his gaze steady, unbothered. “All right, now can you show me the watch, or are you going to keep explaining things I didn’t ask?”
The employee took a step back, crossing his arms with a mocking smile. “You know what? I think you’re in the wrong place because AUM isn’t a store for the curious. People who just want to look dream here; we deal with serious buyers.”
Keanu narrowed his eyes slightly. “And what makes you think I’m not a serious buyer?”
The employee shrugged, feigning indifference. “Oh, you know, someone who fits the environment, someone who looks like they belong, someone who doesn’t waste others’ time.”
Keanu took a deep breath, processing the employee’s words. “Interesting. So by your logic, appearance is what defines a serious customer?”
“It’s not just appearance, sir; it’s reality,” the employee replied, fully embracing his contempt. “Let’s be honest—you don’t look like you’re here to buy anything. That’s a fact, not an opinion.”
Keanu stayed silent for a moment, observing the employee. “It seems you measure value by what you see on the surface. That’s sad.”
The remark briefly wiped the smile from the employee’s face, but he quickly regained his composure. “What’s sad is wasting time with someone who has no intention of buying.”
“Now that’s a problem,” Keanu said, taking another deep breath and stepping back. “Got it. It seems I’m not welcome here. Thank you for your service.”
“It was my pleasure,” the employee replied, a satisfied grin on his face. “Come back any time; maybe next time something might fit your budget.”
Keanu turned to leave, walking calmly toward the door. The sound of his footsteps was the only noise audible in the store. The employee crossed his arms, a smirk on his face, thinking he had won. But then, a low surprised voice broke the silence.
“Wait!” said a customer near the counter, frowning. “Is that… it can’t be… it’s him!”
The name was spoken with such incredulity that it immediately grabbed everyone’s attention. The employee froze, blinking as if he hadn’t heard correctly. “Keanu Reeves?” he murmured in shock.
The customer approached the employee, pointing at Keanu, who was now near the exit. “Yes, it’s him! The actor! Didn’t you recognize him?”
The employee’s stomach churned. He glanced at the manager, who had also approached, his face clearly concerned. “Is this serious?” the employee asked, now looking pale.
“He’s really Keanu Reeves,” the manager simply nodded, disappointment etched on his face. “Of course he is, and you treated him like that. He’s known as one of the kindest and most humble men in the world.”
The manager shot the employee a stern look. “You just made a monumental mistake.”
The employee didn’t wait another second. He dashed toward the door, his heart racing. Keanu was about to open the store’s door when he heard hurried footsteps behind him. The employee caught up to him, nearly tripping over his own desperation.
