(S31) PT 4 - Dirt

[LordEscanor]

I look blankly at the reporter, clearly dumbfounded, as she tells me with a sly look, almost like she’s proud of herself, that she has dirt on me. I continue to stare at the lady for several more seconds, making several faces to show my clear confusion. I then begin inspecting my body and clothes.

“Ummm… what are you doing?” The reporter asks me, now taking her turn to be the confused one.

I look up and smile at her. “You said there was dirt on me. I’m just trying to get it off. Embarrassingly, these are the same clothes I wore yesterday. I was hoping nobody noticed, haha.” I tell her, with another smile. I look back down at my clothes and continue wiping them off with my hands. I can hear her colleagues stifling back laughs.

“Mr. Sama, I don’t think you understand what I mean. I’m saying that I have dirt on you. I know a big secret of yours and am offering you a chance to put it on the record on your own accords rather than me being a sly snake and put it out there on my own.” she says.

At this point, I’m fully aware she’s bluffing and I’m completely ready to bluff back.

“Well since we’re talking about secrets, why don’t you put on the record what you offered for this interview?” I say blankly. I look up and her face is completely red.

“No? Didn’t think so. I think we’re done here.” I get up and exit the building, annoyed with what happened.
