Portrait of a Person

The young man looked confident and content with himself. He stood tall and it was evident that he wanted to leave a very positive impression of himself. He was tall, with athletic figure that was gained due to long hours spent at gym. His hair was dark and short-cut. He had an open broad forehead, a long nose and a set mouth. His dark eyes were not big with short eyelashes. His features were regular, clean-cut and indicated his obstinate disposition. He was wearing an expensive design suit, polished shoes made of suede and a Swiss watch.

He was smiling pleasantly, opening his perfect teeth, and stretching his hand to shake. But, for all his easy manners, it was obvious that this man was not easy to deal with.
