Thread: House of Cards (Kirby & manofyourdream)

Franciss attention was drawn towards the woman in a white dress, watching her frame move ever so elegantly in the bars direction. Luckily, he was also making his way towards it and so, he didnt want to keep staring at her backside and instead, nodded at a few guests who he happened to walk past them. He was good at manipulating people so he can bend them at his will. He had done that plenty times to get where he was today. Despite everything, he was a good judge of characters, putting him one step ahead of them. He loved to make people feel theyre beneath him and so, it makes him feel powerful. Most of the times, he succeeds and just like the crowd he was chatting with earlier, they dared not speak against what he was proposing. It was merely a small step towards a direction that might help his wife, Clair, with her water project. He promised he would speak to proper people and he did that. Pleasing him brought a great feeling of contentment as they did have a unique relationship despite being married. Lets just say that theyre not your typical married couple. They complimented and supported one another, making them stronger when theyre together. He had no idea that the girl sought his attention and yet, planning to ignore him. Though, when he was seeking someones attention, hed have it. A simply comment at the bartender had certainly caught her attention. He was expecting a kind thank you in return but it was evident that she spilled lava through her mouth. Snotty little girl she was, watching her pretty face turn around and her blonde strands of hair cascaded over to the side when he looked at him. It was then, he realized that she wasnt some woman but a young girl. Its hardly a reason for a girl her age to be present as such events. They were boring and it made people his age run away or sneak away from here so he could only imagine why a girl her age would want to be here. Little did he knew, she had a reason to be here. He chuckled at her comment, You could have, for sure. He humbly agreed with her, allowing her chest to puff with self-confidence. He scoffed and then smirked when she told the bartender that shed take what he was having. You sure? he murmured as he had a strong vodka on the rocks earlier. The bartender would know from the smell of it and Francis simply nodded at him as if nodding an approval nod. ZoeBarnes its nice to meet you! He kept a proper distance between the two as he didnt like mud being spilled on his image. He shook hands and liked how soft and tiny it felt in his grip. The name would have meant something she were a famous reporter and at the time, he had no idea who she was. She must have been someones company or an arm candy. He gave her a surprising look and then exude confidence, Underwood is a famous name Dear. I am sure youve heard it a lot on TV or in conversations with your colleague, or from your daddy. He said and smiled softly, taking the drink that the bartender served. He passed a glass towards her and took one for himself, You sure? he asked her one last time before shed realize its a strong drink to have for a girl, especially for a girl her age. It was then, he inquired a bit more about what she was claiming, making a face at her as if he had no idea what he was talking about, Hmm, Am I supposed to know you from somewhere? He asked as he did liked her white dress and liked a similar styled dress on another woman a day or two ago, but thats simply him or any men checking out a girl. He shook his head, leaning forward a bit to show he was interested in knowing where he knew her from, Sorry, youre going to have to remind me Ms. Barnes! he said as he sipped on his drink with much ease.
