Upon hearing what the governor just said Ethan couldn't help but smile.
"It would be unfortunate,"
Ethan said softly, adjusting his mask.
"if certain stories were to air on the evening news today. The public has such an appetite for scandal, especially involving... elected officials."
His voice carried just enough threat to make the Governor flinch.
"What exactly are you implying?" the Governor attempted bravado, but his voice quivered.
"Room 1507 at the Grand Hotel. Tuesday nights. Young Miss Sophia from that new drama series."
Ethan's words fell like ice into the silence.
"Shall I continue?"
immediately Ethan said words : The Governor's face went through several shades of pale.
"Perhaps,"
he whispered, his hands shaking as he pulled out a gold-embossed card.
"We should discuss this privately. Just the two of us."
His eyes darted nervously to the remaining officials in the room.
