Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 632:

Marissa’s extensive experiences had sharpened her senses to a fine point, so even in moments of apparent leisure, she remained highly vigilant and aware of her surroundings. While exchanging messages with Xander, Marissa suddenly felt a piercing gaze from the side.

On instinct, she turned to look, but as soon as she did, the person casting the gaze turned away and disappeared. He was too far for her to discern his features clearly, and his rapid departure allowed her just a fleeting glimpse of his back.

Though the encounter was brief, the man left a strong impression on her. He was tall and carried himself with an unmistakable aura of power. If his presence hadn’t been so commanding, Marissa might not have detected him so swiftly.
