Villain Ch 372. Seduction And Traffic

With a playful glint in her eyes, Alice took a step closer to him. “Great! Let’s get going then. You’re officially under our chauffeur service,” she declared, her tone light and cheerful.

Allen laughed, appreciating their spontaneity. “I can’t argue with that. Lead the way, chauffeur,” he said in a playful tone.

They piled into Alice’s car. Allen settled comfortably in the back seat while Alice and Bella took their positions at the front. The engine hummed to life, and they embarked on their journey. The familiar sights of Revine City unfolded outside the car windows, accompanied by the usual Sunday traffic congestion that seemed to be a recurring theme. 𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Allen leaned back in his seat, letting out a relaxed sigh. “Man, traffic is a nightmare today, huh?” he commented, his eyes scanning the surroundings. This was the reason why he prefered a motorcycle than a car.

Alice chuckled, her fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel as she navigated through the traffic. “Tell me about it. It’s like this every Sunday. I think the whole city decides to hit the roads simultaneously.”

Amid the sluggish traffic, conversation flowed easily between them. Allen’s curiosity piqued as he turned his attention to Alice and Bella. “So, what were you guys doing there? Did you just leave town too?” he inquired, recalling that they hadn’t been online in the game earlier.

Bella turned around slightly, offering a warm smile. “Nah, we were just dropping off our old friend. We used to go to the same high school,” she explained, her tone nostalgic.

Curiosity was a two-way street, and Alice couldn’t resist joining in. “And what about you, Allen? Were you out of town for a vacation?” she asked, her tone light and casual. She kept her hands on the steering wheel, her gaze focused on the road ahead.

Allen grinned, a hint of mischief in his eyes. “Well, something like that. I paid a visit to my family,” he admitted.

Bella’s eyebrows raised in surprise. “Oh, so you’ve reconciled with your family?” she inquired, her curiosity genuine.

A chuckle escaped Allen’s lips. “Not exactly. Let’s just say I wanted to remind them that I’m still alive and kicking,” he replied, his tone tinged with amusement.

Alice’s brows furrowed in sympathy as Allen recounted his family situation. “That’s tough,” she said with a sincere tone. She could sense the complexity of the situation, even if he was brushing it off casually.

Allen gave a nonchalant shrug, his expression surprisingly serene despite the topic. “Yeah, it’s not a piece of cake, but you know what? It is what it is. Life goes on, and we all make our own paths,” he replied with a philosophical edge.

Bella chimed in, nodding in agreement. “He’s right. Dwelling on the past won’t change anything. Besides, you got us now, and that’s what matters,” she said with a reassuring smile.

Alice’s attention shifted to their rumbling stomachs. “Speaking of which, have you eaten yet? We could swing by a restaurant before dropping you off,” she suggested, a hospitable offer in her tone.

Bella’s playful grin added a mischievous twist. “Or you can come to my place if you prefer, for Netplix and chill,” she added, a wink accompanying her words.

Allen chuckled at Bella’s teasing. “Oh, so you guys already heard about what happened between me and Vivian?” he replied, his amusement evident.

Alice nodded enthusiastically. “Yup, the news travels fast, you know.”

“And you should be happy with that,” Bella added.

“Why?” Allen asked.

Bella called Allen closer with a playful finger gesture. He leaned in, expecting another playful quip. But Bella’s voice took on a sultrier tone, a seductive whisper that held a hint of mischief. It was a voice that could easily belong to a seductive character in a drama, a fact made even more captivating by her skills as a voice actress. The words flowed like silk, tinged with a mature allure that caught Allen off guard.

“Because it means… We all want you~” Bella breathed, her voice weaving a spell that seemed to hang in the air, sending a tantalizing shiver down Allen’s spine. It was a voice that could charm even the most steadfast of hearts.

Startled by the sudden shift in tone, Allen instinctively retreated, his eyes wide as he locked gazes with Bella. Her playful grin told him that her intent was all in good fun, and he couldn’t help but laugh. “You know, Bella, you never fail to surprise me,” he said, a mixture of amusement and genuine surprise in his voice.

Bella’s laughter echoed in response. “Well, it’s a talent of mine. Gotta keep things interesting, right?” She winked playfully, her vibrant spirit lighting up the car’s interior.

Alice’s annoyance was palpable as she turned her displeased frown towards Bella. “Seriously, Bella? Seduction in my car? Are you prepared to deal with the consequences if he gets all riled up?” Her tone was a blend of irritation and playful reprimand.

Bella’s response was as nonchalant as ever. “Eh, I don’t really mind,” she shrugged, her voice unconcerned.

Alice’s eyes narrowed in response. “You’re impossible,” she muttered under her breath, her gaze still fixed on the road ahead. “And just so you know, I’m not interested in witnessing any impromptu love scenes in the middle of traffic,” she added, her annoyance clear.

A swift hand gestured towards the gridlocked cars outside the window, emphasizing the claustrophobic traffic situation they were trapped in. “See all this? I don’t want to see any of that happening here,” Alice quipped, her tone a mix of irritation and jest.

With her signature grin, Bella attempted to use bribery to her advantage. “I’ll pay you to look the other way,” she offered, her voice dripping with feigned innocence.

Alice’s response was swift and skeptical. “Oh, please. You even still owe me for tonight’s coffee, remember?” she retorted with a smug grin, her satisfaction evident.

“Ugh, you’re such a killjoy,” Bella huffed in playful annoyance, rolling her eyes.

Alice, however, wasn’t going to let Bella off the hook so easily. She glanced at Allen and offered a reassuring smile. “Just so you know, she’s mostly joking. Mostly,” Alice emphasized, her tone light.

Bella chimed in with a smirk. “Yeah, about fifty percent serious,” she added, her eyes gleaming mischievously.
