10:24 Wed, Oct 7 The Villainess' Reborn Diary Chapter 353 Caught Red-Handed The phone buzzed over and over in his pocket. In the elevator, it was impossible not to notice. Seren said, offhand, "Someone's been blowing up your phone." 89 Finished Once the elevator reached their floor, he held the phone out to her. "Not messages. It's basically a recruitment pitch." "Hm? Recruiting you for what?" Seren took the phone and glanced at it. The first thing she noticed was the crack running across the screen, one line up top, one down below. Her mouth twitched. "Do you really have to be this cheap?

Just get a new phone." "In a few days. Switching phones is a whole hassle." Kieran pushed the door open as he said it. Seren trailed behind him, glancing down at the chat log. The message thread was nothing but white bubbles from someone with a grim-reaper profile picture. "Hey, underclassman, what do you usually like doing?" "What are you into these days?" "Anything giving you trouble in life? Talk to your senior about it." "I minored in psych. I can be your sounding board." "... What is this person even doing?" Seren asked, baffled.

She took the water glass from him and had a sip, looking around. "...

Your place is so cozy." The apartment wasn't huge, but the whole thing was done in warm yellow tones, the lighting was great, and the throw pillows on the couch were somehow each cuter than the last. Even the cup she was drinking out of right now was one of those round-bellied cartoon-bear mugs. It clashed a little with what she'd pictured. "I figured your place would be one of those cold, sterile bachelor-pad kind of setups." "My mom's the one who's into this stuff," Kieran said.

Seren thought about it for a second, and asked, genuinely curious, "Then how'd you end up this?" The boy paused, turned his head, his expression unreadable. "Like what?" Seren opened her mouth, then thought better of it. like Like what, obviously ? Like this - sweet -talking me one minute and giving me the cold shoulder the next .
