Scenario:Title: "Velvet Chambers"
Prologue
Kuala Lumpur shimmered in the dusk light — all chrome, glass, and secrets. Behind the city’s glittering facade, power wasn’t wielded in courts or boardrooms. It was whispered over rare whisky, bartered in candlelit lounges, and sealed with glances that lingered too long.
Cast of Characters
Li Ying — 21
Fresh from Penang and sharper than any blade, Li Ying was more than just a law student. She was ambition in heels, wrapped in silk, and cloaked in mystery. She walked into Jay’s firm not out of admiration, but calculation. Her private indulgences — a free-spirited sensuality, an aversion to convention, a hunger she never fed — remained tightly under her control. For now.
She believed in freedom. She believed in pleasure. And she believed the two didn’t have to apologize to anyone — especially not men in suits.
Jay Azhar — 56
The senior partner with a rockstar’s strut and a judge’s cunning. Jay made deals between lines of coke and murmured confidences. He was a creature of charm and corruption — brilliant in the courtroom, infamous beyond it. Rumors about his parties echoed in hushed tones: velvet lounges, candlelight, and a strict rule — leave your inhibition (and underwear) at the door.
But Jay didn’t just seduce people. He seduced systems, and made them purr.
Camelia Dane — 30
Jay’s confidante, protégé, and co-conspirator. Camelia wore her intellect like perfume and moved like a promise you couldn’t keep. She was the firm’s whispering devil, grooming new interns not for courtrooms — but for the chambers behind them.
Addicted to adrenaline, power, and her complicated, consuming bond with Jay, Camelia was both victim and victor. And when she saw Li Ying, she saw a reflection. Or maybe a threat.

I was twenty-one when I stepped off the bus from Penang and into my new life.
Kuala Lumpur shimmered in the dusk light — all chrome, glass, and secrets.
I’d come armed with nothing but my law books, a sharp mind, and a plan.
I wasn’t here to make friends or fall in love.
I was here to work.
To succeed.
If that meant using my body to get what I wanted, then so be it.
I wasn’t above seducing a man — or men — to get ahead.
But my desires were my own business.
And right now, they were the last thing on my mind as I stared up at the towering skyscrapers of KL’s financial district.
I’d never seen anything so modern, so powerful, so unlike the sleepy streets of my hometown.
"Wow," I breathed to myself.
Just wow.
The free-spirited part of me thrilled at the possibilities.
The practical part of me knew I had work to do.
I took a deep breath and made my way into the sleek glass lobby of Azhar & Partners.
My new boss, Jay Azhar, was waiting for me in his office on the top floor.
I’d been told he was a hard man to please, but I wasn’t afraid of a challenge.
I was ready to prove myself.
As I stepped into the elevator, my heart pounded in my chest.
This was it.
My chance to make a name for myself in this city.
I wasn’t going to let it slip away.
The elevator doors opened, and I walked down the hallway to the door marked "Jay Azhar."
I took a deep breath and knocked.
"Come in," a low voice called from inside.
I opened the door and stepped into the office.
It was sleek and modern, with a stunning view of the city skyline.
Jay Azhar sat behind his desk, watching me with sharp, assessing eyes.
"Welcome," he said, standing up and extending his hand.
"I’m Jay."
"Thank you," I replied, shaking his hand firmly.
"I’m so excited to be here."
He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Please, have a seat," he said, gesturing to one of the chairs in front of his desk.
"I’ll get us something to drink."
He walked over to a small bar in the corner of the room and poured two glasses of whisky.
He handed one to me, our fingers brushing briefly as I took it from him.
"So," he said, sitting down behind his desk again.
"Tell me about yourself."
I took a sip of my drink and launched into my well-rehearsed speech about my qualifications and experience.
Jay listened intently, asking questions every now and then.
When I finished, he leaned back in his chair and steepled his fingers together. "Impressive," he said, his voice low and smooth as honey.
"I think you’re going to fit in very well here."
"Thank you," I replied, smiling brightly.
"I won’t let you down."
He chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement.
"I’m sure you won’t," he said.
"Now, let’s talk about your role here at the firm."
We spent the next hour discussing my responsibilities and expectations as an intern at Azhar & Partners.
As the conversation wound down, Jay leaned forward, his gaze piercing.
"There's something you should know," he said, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.
"This firm has its own set of rules, and not all of them are written in the employee handbook."
As he spoke, he leaned back in his chair and steepled his fingers together, watching me closely.
I sat across from him, taking in every word.
I knew that this was a test, a way for him to gauge my reaction to the unwritten rules of the firm.
I kept my expression neutral, not wanting to give away my thoughts.
He smiled, seeming to appreciate my composure.
"First of all," he said, "there's the no underwear rule."
I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by this unusual policy.
Jay leaned forward again, his eyes locked on mine.
"For female interns," he clarified, his voice low and smooth as honey.
"No underwear allowed. It's a firm tradition."
I nodded, taking this in stride.
It wasn't a big deal for me — I'd already made it a habit to go commando most days.
I found it more comfortable, especially during long days at the office.
Jay watched me closely, waiting for my reaction.
But I didn't flinch or show any surprise.
I simply nodded again, taking another sip of my drink. He seemed pleased with my response and continued outlining the other unwritten rules of the firm.
Some were more straightforward than others — like the expectation that interns would work long hours and be available 24/7.
Others were more...unconventional.
Like the fact that certain partners had a reputation for being "hands-on" with their interns.
I listened carefully to each rule, committing them to memory.
I knew that understanding these unwritten expectations was key to succeeding at Azhar & Partners.
And I was determined to succeed — no matter what it took.
As Jay finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair again and studied me intently.
"So," he said finally, "what do you think?"
"I think," I replied, meeting his gaze steadily, "that I'm ready to play by the rules, written or not."
Jay's lips curled into a knowing smile. "Good," he said softly, "because there's one more thing you should know — your predecessor didn't leave by choice."
I felt a chill run down my spine, but I kept my expression composed. "What happened to them?"
"She didn't play by the rules," he said, his voice dropping to a whisper.
"And she paid the price."
I nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation.
I knew that I had to be careful, that one misstep could mean disaster.
But I was confident in my abilities, and I was determined to succeed.
"I won't make that mistake," I said, meeting his gaze steadily.
"I'll play by the rules."
Jay's smile widened, and he leaned back in his chair.
"I know you will," he said, his voice filled with conviction.
"Because if you don't, you'll be out of here faster than you can say 'sexual harassment.'"
I walked into the office, my heels clicking on the polished floor.
I was wearing a tight white blouse and a short black skirt that hugged my curves in all the right places.
My long black hair cascaded down my back like a waterfall, and my makeup was flawless.
I knew I looked good, and I felt confident as I made my way to my desk. The office was quiet, with only a few people at their desks.
Most of them were typing away on their computers, but a few glanced up as I walked by.
Some of them looked at me with curiosity, while others gave me knowing smirks.
I ignored them all and focused on getting to my desk as quickly as possible.
As soon as I sat down, I crossed my legs and started reviewing some case files that were waiting for me on my desk.
After a few minutes, one of the other interns came over to introduce herself.
She was a petite blonde named Camelia, and she looked like she had just stepped out of a fashion magazine.
She eyed me up and down before sitting down next to me.
"So," she said, "you must be Li Ying."
"That's right," I replied smoothly.
"I'm Camelia. Welcome to Azhar & Partners."
"Thank you," I said politely.
"It's nice to meet you."
Camelia smiled sweetly at me, but there was something in her eyes that told me she wasn't as friendly as she seemed. "So," she said casually, "what brings you here?"
"Just looking for a job," I replied nonchalantly.
"Oh," Camelia said knowingly.
"Well, you've certainly come to the right place. This firm is known for its...perks."
I raised an eyebrow at her insinuation, but Camelia just laughed innocently.
As I settled into my new desk, Camelia sauntered over to me.
Her eyes scanned me from head to toe, a mix of amusement and appraisal in her gaze.
She leaned against my desk, crossing her arms and giving me a once-over.
"You'll do," she said finally, a calculated smile playing on her lips.
I nodded, keeping my expression neutral.
I knew this was another test, another way for the firm to gauge my reactions.
Camelia seemed to appreciate my composure and continued with her explanation of the firm's social dynamics.
"So," she said, "you know that Jay likes to throw parties for his clients and partners."
"Yes," I replied, remembering the invitation he had given me earlier.
"Well," she said, "those parties are a big deal. Everyone who's anyone in the firm is there, and it's a great opportunity to network."
"I see," I said, taking mental notes.
"There are a few people you should make sure to impress," she continued.
"Jay's right-hand man, Marcus. He's the one who really runs the firm. And then there's Samantha. She's one of the senior partners, and she has a lot of pull."
"Okay," I said, committing their names to memory. "And what about the other interns?"
I asked curiously.
Camelia smiled again, this time with a hint of malice in her eyes.
"Oh," she said lightly, "they're mostly just here for show. You won't have to worry about them."
I raised an eyebrow at this but didn't say anything.
Camelia seemed to take my silence as a sign that I understood what she was getting at.
"Good," she said, straightening up from where she had been leaning against my desk.
"Just remember: if you don't fit in here, you're out. And trust me, you don't want that."
With that ominous warning ringing in my ears, Camelia turned and walked away.
As I watched her go, I couldn't help but wonder what exactly she meant by that last comment.
But before I could dwell on it too much, she stopped and turned around.
"Oh," she called out to me.
"I almost forgot. Here's your invitation to the next party."
Camelia led me down a dimly lit hallway, the soft jazz growing louder with each step.
The walls were adorned with expensive artwork, and the air was thick with the scent of cigar smoke and fine whiskey.
We passed by several doors, each one slightly ajar, revealing glimpses of silhouettes and whispered laughter.
In one room, I caught a glimpse of a shoe perched on the edge of a desk, a woman's bare foot dangling tantalizingly in the air.
The scene was suggestive, but not explicit.
Camelia paused in front of one of the doors, her expression unreadable.
She gestured for me to look inside, and I hesitated for a moment before peering through the narrow gap.
Inside, a group of people sat around a large table, their faces illuminated only by the soft glow of cigars and the occasional flash from a camera.
They spoke in hushed tones, their words indistinguishable from where I stood.
I couldn't make out their features, but I could sense the tension in the air.
It was palpable, like an electric current humming just beneath the surface. Camelia watched me closely as I observed the scene unfolding before me.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she were trying to gauge my reaction.
I kept my expression neutral, refusing to give her the satisfaction of seeing me flinch or react in any way.
"Interesting crowd," I remarked, turning to meet Camelia's gaze.
"More than interesting," she replied, her voice low and conspiratorial. "This is where the real deals are made, Li Ying."
"And what exactly do they deal in?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.
