Since I've been writing an evil Betty fic, I figured I'd write evil Daniel. I'll try not to make him too hateful. :)
Daniel was sitting at his desk, looking through the gossip columns online. Each column had a picture of him, each one with a different woman. He looked up at his new assistant, he couldn't believe his father hired her. It hurt just to look at her, sure she seemed nice and she was efficient but the cons out weighed the pros. She was a disaster, he clothes never matched, her hair was always a mess, and her eyebrows needed to meet tweezers's. He tried to look on the bright side, wait was there one. He was sure there was a good looking woman with all of Betty's qualities, why couldn't he have that. It would definitely make the workplace more pleasant for him. He went back to reading the tabloids in front of him. When Daniel's phone rang, it was Betty, he looked up to see her looking uncomfortable. There was a man standing really close to her, Becks was here.
Daniel smiled, Becks was exactly what he needed right now.
"Danny boy, how are you?" Becks asked as he walked into his office, Daniel stood up to greet him.
"I'm so glad to see you, as you can see, work is boring."
Becks looked around his office, "Not a bad space. However, what is up with the assistant? Dude did you forget this is a fashion magazine?" Becks asked laughing.
"I didn't hire her, my father did, he didn't like the fact that I was banging my assistants. So he hired Betty, she's OK I guess, she's competent."
Becks sat down and propped his feet on Daniel's desk. "OK, let me get this straight... he hired her cause he thought you wouldn't bang her."
"What, did you smoke a big joint before walking in? Yeah, he hired her cause he knew I wouldn't touch her."
"Apparently you're the one smoking too much. The answer to your problem is simple, seduce her, make her fall in love with you. Once your dad see's she like any other girl, he'll give up and you'll be rolling in sexy ladies again." Becks crossed his arms and looked at Daniel expectantly.
"Seduce her? Come on Becks, you saw her, how am I suppose to seduce her. Yuck, I can't imagine kissing her," Daniel said pacing.
"God you're a sissy. She's a woman, her body isn't that bad, have you looked? She has a nice ass and if she wore clothing that fit her she would look pretty good, from the neck down. Just have a few drinks and turn off the lights, imagine she's someone else."
Daniel stopped pacing and leaned against his desk, it wasn't a bad idea. If he could get drunk, he could totally have sex with her. But how does he get her to have sex with him?
"I like your idea, but how do I do it. She doesn't seem like the type who randomly sleeps around. Plus, she knows why my dad hired her, she told me so after I tried to get her to quit. So how do I seduce,that?" Daniel asked looking out to Betty's empty desk.
Becks stood up and walked to the glass, looking out to Betty's desk. "You bring down her defenses, you make her trust you. Once you have her trust and she thinks you respect her, you attack. A girl like that doesn't get much attention, I doubt it will be hard."
"Beck's, I have to say, you're a genius. Let's grab some lunch and you'll give me some pointer's on ugly chicks and their defenses, since you seem to be an expert."
Becks started laughing, "Danny, I'm an expert on all women."
Betty made her way back to her desk, she was smiling. She just had lunch with Henry, he was so sweet and cute. She laid her things down at her desk, when a box caught her eye. Picking up the box, she read the small card attached to it. Betty, for brightening up my day, everyday. No signature, it was a box of chocolates. Could they be from Henry, they couldn't be, he was at lunch with her. She sat down and tried not to think about it, what if it was Marc playing a joke on her. Better to just get back to work and pretend the box wasn't there. If it was from Henry, he'd say something soon enough. Betty kept trying to work but she was distracted. She called Christina, to tell her about the box but she was in the middle of a fitting. Betty tried to get back to work, maybe getting a head start on Daniel's expense report would help.
Betty was finally able to concentrate, she managed to make a dent into the expense report. She was startled when she saw Daniel and his friend, standing at her desk.
"Daniel! How long have you been standing there?" She asked fixing her glasses on her face.
"About a minute, I didn't wanna say anything. You seemed so involved in... whatever it is you're doing." He said smiling at her.
"I was just getting a start on your expense report. What can I do for you?"
"Nothing, I was just curious as to what had you so consumed. I'll be in my office with Becks and I'll be going home early. Becks and I are gonna volunteer at a soup kitchen near by."
"Wow, that's great, I didn't know you volunteered." She was giving him a big smile now, she was obviously impressed.
"Uh... yeah, just don't tell anyone, OK. It would ruin my reputation and I like to keep part of my life private." He said trying to look embarrassed.
"Of course, I won't say a word to anyone."
Becks just watched them, smiling. He had to give it to Daniel, he was a good actor.
"Well enjoy your work," Daniel said walking away. He stopped when he reached his door and looked at Betty. "You look nice today," he said, then walked into his office closing the door.
Betty just stared at the closed door, she knew there was more to Daniel then what met the eye. He was helping the poor, he was giving back. She was proud to be working for him, he wasn't even doing it for publicity and what good publicity it would be. He told her she looked nice, it wasn't often someone complimented her, especially someone like Daniel. She spent the rest of her day smiling.
Becks was lounged on Daniels chaise, which faced out. He could see Betty smiling, "Look at her. She's almost giddy, you're a hero in her book, you help the poor and you told her she looks nice. Danny, you shouldn't be here, you should be on stage, acting is your gift. You looked at her like you really wanted to be looking at her."
"It wasn't as hard as I thought, I think I can do this, with the light off." Daniel said.
"This is gonna be fun to watch. Maybe, when you're done, I'll take a stab at it." Becks told him.
"Why would you want to, I wouldn't if I didn't have to." Daniel asked him.
"Novelty, who knows she could be a freak. Ugly girls always have to work harder."
"You know Becks, you're still a pig, just like you were in college." Daniel said.
"Always, my friend, always," Becks looked out at Betty. He was a little curious, why not, when Danny was finished, he'd be doing her a favor.
