?Villain Ch 610. Reach for the Stars, Face the Struggles

Sophia's lips remained sealed in response, her gaze tracking Allen's departing figure. Unfazed by his apparent indifference, she mused internally, 'Cold as usual, huh?' Despite the lack of verbal exchange, there was no visible disappointment etched on her features. Sophia had anticipated this response; she knew better than to expect warmth from Allen.

Her expectations aligned with the calculated distance she maintained. Today's unexpected encounter had not caught her entirely off guard, and as such, she had decided to approach it with a modified strategy. No longer inclined to boldly chase him down as she might have before, Sophia embraced her own brand of aloofness.

Sophia, standing still, observed the direction where Allen had disappeared. Confusion etched her features as she contemplated the unexpected twist in the narrative. As far as she knew, Allen operated as a freelance model at the agency. The standard procedure involved him using a guest ID and being ushered around by a staff member during his visits. However, the conspicuous new employee ID hanging around his neck suggested a deviation from the norm.

'Did he decide to join the agency as a permanent model?' Sophia pondered. 'Or did the agency snap him up?' Her speculation seemed to be grounded in the reality of the situation. Allen's debut photoshoot had achieved notable success, with a surge in requests for his appearance. The allure of a rising model, built on the success of just one photoshoot, made it entirely plausible for the agency to extend a more permanent offer.

Sophia's contemplations hinted at a nuanced understanding of the industry dynamics. The sudden popularity and demand for Allen's presence had undoubtedly put him in a favorable position, with agencies eager to secure his services.

'Well, I'll find that out later,' Sophia thought, shifting her focus forward and resuming her brisk walk. Despite the curiosity bubbling within her and the subtle pangs of jealousy she felt imagining Allen's interactions with Vivian during the photoshoot, Sophia decided to play it cool.

In her mind, a strategic plan unfolded. 'Let him chase his career and rise even more. That way, the deal will be an offer he can't refuse,' she mused. Her thoughts transitioned to the potent aphrodisiac tucked away in her bag. The plan was set in motion—she intended to drug Allen and orchestrate a 'chance' encounter at his apartment. Under the influence of the potent substance, she hoped Allen would act impulsively, providing her with incriminating footage. It was a manipulative scheme, reminiscent of her tactics with Liam and Darren. Sophia aimed to record Allen's actions, creating leverage that she could later use to coerce him into returning to her fold.

The dark undercurrents of Sophia's intentions revealed a calculated and cunning side. Her desire to control and dominate those around her manifested through elaborate plans that involved manipulation and the exploitation of vulnerabilities.

Sophia continued her stride through the bustling corridors, her mind delved deeper into the intricacies of her plotted scheme. The prospect of Allen's burgeoning career as a model cast a more alluring glow on her manipulative plan. She envisioned a future where Allen's rising stardom would amplify the impact of his actions, making him increasingly susceptible to her machinations.

'If Allen's modeling career continues to soar and his fame grows, my actions will carry even more weight,' she mused with a calculating glint in her eyes. The web of influence she intended to weave around him seemed all the more enticing. The more successful he became, the harder it would be for him to resist the pull of her orchestrated tactics.

Her train of thought ventured into the darker realms of consequence. 'If he declines, and the video gets out to the public, his entire fanbase will redirect their attention towards him. The backlash will intensify, leading to a surge of disapproval, with fans holding him accountable for every action,' she contemplated internally. The looming threat of public scrutiny and the potential backlash from his fan base added a layer of inevitability to her scheme. If Allen rejected her terms, the jaws of legal consequences and public condemnation awaited him—a meticulously crafted trap.

Sophia reveled in the perfection of her plan. 'If he still refuses, the jail will be waiting for him. It's a perfect plan!' she concluded with a smirk dancing on her lips. The eagerness to set her stratagem in motion coursed through her, but she reminded herself to be patient. The careful execution of her manipulative design required timing and finesse, and Sophia was ready to bide her time until the opportune moment presented itself.

On the other side, the door swung open, and Allen stepped into the vibrant hubbub of the photoshoot studio. The atmosphere buzzed with energy as everyone hustled to bring the envisioned concept to life. Props adorned the room, meticulously placed to complement the planned aesthetics, while the background awaited its moment to enhance the visual narrative.

"Good morning, everyone!" Allen greeted the bustling crew with a warm smile, acknowledging their collective efforts.

The room transformed into a hive of activity as the staff instantly shifted their focus towards Allen. A unanimous chorus of greetings and affirmations filled the air, signaling his arrival. Makeup artists, recognizing the urgency of the situation, swiftly ushered him into the changing room. The urgency was palpable, given the intricacy of the costumes that awaited him for today's photoshoot.

Inside the changing room, Allen found himself caught in a whirlwind of fabrics and accessories, all meticulously curated to embody the essence of the villainous theme. The staff worked with precision and speed, ensuring each element of the attire aligned seamlessly with the overarching concept.

"Quick, Allen, we're almost ready!" urged one of the makeup artists, her hands deftly applying the finishing touches. The urgency in her voice matched the ticking clock, emphasizing the need for swift transformation. In the midst of the controlled chaos, Allen's anticipation grew, eager to step into the role and contribute his part to the visual spectacle they were about to create.
