Villain Ch 124. Sharing A Room?
Allen quickly made his way into the bathroom and shut the door behind him. The sound of the running water was soothing as he undressed and stepped into the shower. The warm water cascaded down his body, washing away the sweat and grime from the day's activities. The bathroom was spacious, with a large bathtub in the corner that he could have chosen, but he decided to opt for a quick shower instead.
He also noticed that the bathroom was fully stocked with everything he needed for his shower. There were large bottles of shampoo and conditioner on the shelf, as well as a bar of soap in the soap dish. He could see a hairdryer and a set of towels neatly folded on a nearby rack. The toiletries were all branded and of high quality.
After finishing, Allen picked up a fluffy white towel from the rack and wrapped it around his waist, drying himself off from the shower. Once he was dry, he put on the night robe that had been provided for him. It was made from soft, silky material and was a deep shade of black. He couldn't help but notice how well the robe fit him, hugging his form in all the right places. It was clear that this was no ordinary robe; it must have cost a fortune.
As he tied the sash around his waist, Allen walked over to the full-length mirror that stood in the corner of the bathroom. He gazed at his reflection, taking in the sight of himself in the luxurious robe. The mirror showed a tall and well-built man with broad shoulders, a chiseled jawline, and piercing brown eyes. Allen felt a little self-conscious as he studied his own reflection, wondering if he looked out of place in such a fancy setting.
'This is the first time I'm wearing this kind of clothes,' he thought. It was a nice silk robe and very comfortable against his skin. But what bothered him was that he wasn't using anything underneath it. He decided to wash all of his clothes due to his sweat after all his activities in the VR arcade game.
Without saying anything, he grabbed his dirty clothes and headed toward the door. He was about to put them in the laundry basket at the front of the room. However, as he turned the doorknob and pulled the door open, he was surprised to find Zoe standing there, looking at him in surprise.
"Hey," he said, a tinge of shock in his voice. He couldn't help but let his gaze linger on her for a moment longer than he intended, taking in the sight of her in her relaxed attire.
Zoe was just as surprised to see him, and they both stood there for a moment, unsure of what to do next. Then, Zoe spoke up, offering Allen the devices he had asked for earlier.
"Hey, I brought you all your needs," she said, holding out her VR devices and a phone charger. As she looked up at him, she couldn't help but notice the way he looked different from before. The robe made him look regal and sophisticated, and she couldn't decide whether she was happy or sad with her impulsive decision to come to his room.
"Thank you," Allen said, his gaze returning to Zoe's face as he was about to take the devices from her. He was just about to close the door when Zoe spoke up again.
"May I come in?" she asked hesitantly, holding her breath as she waited for his response.
Allen was taken aback by her request, he tried to decide what to do. He had thought they would simply exchange devices and go online in different locations, but it seemed that Zoe had other ideas in mind. He wasn't sure if he was comfortable with the idea of her being in his room with his attire, but he couldn't bring himself to say no.
"Sure," he said finally, opening the door wider to let her in.
Zoe's heart raced as she stepped inside Allen's room. But her excitement to show Allen something new was greater than her nervousness. She made her way over to the desk. Without hesitation, she placed the VR device and the phone charger. Another one was in her hand.
Turning around, Zoe could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she met Allen's eyes. She knew what she was doing was impulsive, but she had made her decision to do it.
"Are you planning to go online together?" he asked, breaking the silence that had fallen between them.
Zoe nodded eagerly. "Yes," she said, trying to keep her voice steady.
"In the same room?" Allen asked, sounding incredulous. Zoe could feel her cheeks flushing with embarrassment at the thought that he might think she was being too forward.
But she didn't hesitate. "Yes," she said, looking up at him with determination.
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Allen's gaze softened, and Zoe could see the hint of a smile on his lips. "Are you sure this is okay?" he asked, his voice low and serious. "I mean...I don't want any misunderstandings that could make me a criminal or something." He was a stranger, a guest in this house. So, it would be very easy to put the blame on him if something happened.
"You won't," Zoe assured him. Her voice was soft, but there was confidence behind it. "There's CCTV in front of your room, so the security knows I'm the one who came here," she added, hoping to ease his mind.
"Fine." Allen nodded, accepting her explanation. He knew it was a reasonable one, but he couldn't shake off the uneasiness he felt. He was a guest in this house, and he didn't want to cause any trouble.
Zoe gave him the VR device, and he took it. "See you in the game then," he said, a smile forming on his lips.
Zoe returned the smile, a glint of mischief in her eyes. She was excited, but she was also nervous because she knew… this would be a different experience for her.
