Chapter 408 Pay Service With 'Service' [Part 2]
A soft chime sounded as the little bell above the café door rang, drawing Darren and Liam\'s attention like a magnet. Their eyes locked on the source of the sound, and there she was: Sophia. She glided into the café, her presence immediately commanding attention.
Sophia looked as beautiful as ever, her radiant appearance almost ethereal in the soft café lighting. She wore a cute dress that gracefully hugged her body, a garment that accentuated her natural beauty without being overly ostentatious. Her every move seemed to have an air of grace and elegance, like that of an angel.
Darren and Liam exchanged glances, both briefly captivated by Sophia\'s presence. Despite the tension and unease that had been building up in them, it was hard not to be struck by her beauty. Sophia\'s charm was undeniable, and in that moment, they found themselves momentarily lost in admiration, even as they braced themselves for the difficult conversation ahead.
Sophia approached the two of them with a warm smile, her demeanor relaxed and nonchalant. "Sorry for making you wait," she began in a casual tone, as if the awkward incident had never occurred. It was as if they were just old friends meeting up for a casual chat, and her voice seemed to flow like a melodic tune to their ears.
Darren and Liam couldn\'t help but feel a rush of embarrassment as they stood up simultaneously, their faces flushing with a mixture of emotions. "No problem at all, Sophia. We just got here," they stammered almost in unison, their nervousness giving way to silly, somewhat sheepish smiles that adorned their faces.
These were undoubtedly tense moments, ones that could significantly impact their future and reputation. Yet, overshadowing all these concerns were the vivid memories of that unforgettable night. Their hearts raced with a combination of anxiety and anticipation, their bodies craving what they had experienced before. The seductive and enticing expressions Sophia had worn that night were etched into their minds, impossible to forget.
As she took her seat at their table, the air around them became charged with a strange energy. They were all aware of the gravity of the situation, but the allure of their shared intimacy was palpable.
Liam, attempting to alleviate the tension, extended a polite offer. "Would you like something to drink?"
Sophia declined with a coy smile that mirrored her demeanor from that fateful night. "No," she replied smoothly, her voice laced with a hint of mischief. "I want to get straight to the point."
Darren and Liam exchanged nervous glances, but they knew they had to confront the situation head-on. They couldn\'t avoid it any longer.
"Okay," Liam began, his voice quivering slightly with anxiety. "But before we go any further, we wanted to apologize for what we said earlier." He glanced at Darren for support.
Darren nodded, reinforcing their stance. "Yeah, it was all just a joke, you know? We\'ve even talked to Elio about it," he chimed in. "We realized we went way overboard and crossed the line."
Sophia, well aware that they would resort to this explanation, maintained her composure. Instead, she drew herself closer to them, her body pressing intimately against theirs. A look of mild disappointment played across her face, emphasizing her sensual allure.
"So, you guys aren\'t interested in giving it another go with me?" she purred, her tone oozing temptation. Sophia\'s voice dropped to a sultry whisper, mindful of the possibility of a hidden recorder. Her words dripped with seduction, causing Darren and Liam\'s hearts to race and their throats to dry.
Darren and Liam were left momentarily speechless, caught off guard by the sudden shift in the conversation. They had anticipated a threat or confrontation, not this. Swallowing hard, they exchanged uncertain glances.
"W-We love too," Darren replied quickly, his head shaking vigorously.
Liam, still puzzled, finally voiced their shared question. "But why did you show us that video, then?"
"Because I want to show you what happened, of course. You guys were drunk last time." Sophia\'s nonchalant response left Darren and Liam even more bewildered. Her tone shifted seamlessly from seductive to casual, and she ended her statement with a relaxed giggle.
Darren and Liam exchanged glances again, trying to make sense of Sophia\'s intentions. Her explanation didn\'t align with their initial fears and expectations.
"That\'s... unexpected," Liam muttered, still processing the situation.
Sophia continued with her casual demeanor. "Oh, and here\'s what I want to talk about," she added. "I\'d like you to help me gather information about Allen and those girls. You\'ve seen the two girls he was with at the diner, right? And the one on the cover of that magazine? Let\'s start with them," she instructed.
She then turned to Liam. "And don\'t forget my +10 Purity Robe," she said, her gaze fixed on him. Immediately, she shifted her attention to Darren. "And my Fast Casting Potions," she added, her tone suggesting that these were non-negotiable requests.
Those requests certainly annoyed them. It was clear Sophia used them.
Darren couldn\'t hide his frustration any longer, and he decided to voice his concerns directly. "Sophia, are you trying to blackmail us?" he asked, his tone firm and assertive.
Liam nodded in agreement, his expression mirroring Darren\'s discontent. They both felt cornered by Sophia\'s unexpected requests, and it was clear that she was leveraging their past actions to her advantage.
Sophia maintained her sweet smile, leaning closer to them as she clarified her intentions. "I\'m not," she whispered, her voice seductive. "I\'m just reciprocating your offer from the game. I\'ll compensate for your \'services\' with my own, as long as I\'m pleased with the outcome."
The proposal hung in the air, presenting a tempting offer that Darren and Liam found increasingly challenging to turn down.
Liam and Darren shared a momentary glance, their expressions clearly displaying their uncertainty. They were hesitant, their doubts etched on their faces. Nevertheless, the looming threat of the video left them feeling cornered, and they reluctantly acknowledged that agreeing to Sophia\'s terms might be their only way out. They wanted more information before making a final decision.
Their attention returned to Sophia. "Could you give us the details?" Darren inquired, his tone laced with curiosity.
