Thread: House of Cards (Kirby & manofyourdream)

Frank had an upper hand now. If not that, he at least knew of the person that was threatening him, even though it was a very menial threat. It would do him small harm, something which he could rise above the scandal in no time. He knew her background, a newly graduate reporter who was trying to make big. It didnt matter howmatter of fact, she knew now that shed have to play dirty to get somewhere in this business or any business. That was the key fundament. In a way, she intrigued him because hed learned to play a dirty game long time ago. He knew that if he wanted to go somewhere, become something, make the name Underwood be recognized for something, hed have to get his hands dirty. Because, out of everything thats out there, politics is a very dirty game. He gave it all a good thought and in such a minimum amount of time. And such decisions, hed be making if he were to reach his goals. There would be no time when some situation arrives and hed have to make a decision. Tonight, he could have crushed Ms. Barnes but he chose not to. He decided theres something that he could do, make use of her since she was a reporter and that too, an enthusiast. The car pulled over to the curb, right near where she was standing. Shed surely be able to see who it was inside if she took a closer look but not the people who were far away. Unless of course, they knew his car by number plate. He noticed how she looked around her first and then entered his vehicle. A sign of someone who could be discreet and such quality is what he would appreciate in her writing. The moment she entered, the car started rolling towards an address Frank had given to his chauffeur. Her place, an address that hed gotten from the information hed received. He would want to converse with her during the ride and then drop her off at her place before hed go about his way. So what the plan. The presence brought in some fresh air that was mixed with her distinctive peachy scent in which he swam. He was quiet surprised from the way she spoke. She was merely nothing but if she wanted, she could be something big. Her sharp tongue amused him to great length and he managed to slip a chuckle at her comment, You did deserve that scolding for pulling off such a daring stunt Ms. Barnes. He said and grabbed a bottle of fine whiskery which he poured in a glass for him and glanced at her, Care for one? he asked her and would fix her one if shed want one. It was obvious from the way she gazed out of the window that she was trying to avoid looking up at him. Tell me, Ms. Barnes. What do you have to propose? How do you see this benefiting me? How can I trust you? Trust he laughed, That is a harsh word. But, I do need reassurance for us to be able to work together. He said his speech and went quite, letting her speak now as it was her time to shine. It was her time to convince him and if hed sense tiny bit of deceptiveness in her, he would kick her out of his car the very moment, not even provide her the courtesy to clarify anything or even drop her home. Oh and of course, he would then destroy her and she could kiss her job a good bye before going back to where she came from.
