Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 769:

Lost in thought for what felt like forever, Silver Fox couldn’t figure out if her actions tonight were pure genius or a total disaster. The mental back-and-forth was exhausting. Feeling stuck, she decided it was time to reach out to Marissa for advice.

Marissa, her only friend who was both clever and much more decisive, had always been her go-to whenever a problem popped up. Sharp, decisive, and brutally honest, Marissa had a knack for cutting through Silver Fox’s confusion like a hot knife through butter.

So it was no surprise that tonight, after making a life-altering decision that still left her feeling like she was walking on shaky ground, there was only one person she could turn to. Silver Fox grabbed her phone, her fingers hovering over the screen for a second before typing out a message. “Black Snake, I need your advice on something.”

Usually, Marissa was lightning-fast with her responses, always ready with advice, even in the middle of the night. But this time, her reply was different. A lot more… snappy. “It’s the middle of the night, and you sent me a message? Do you think I’m a robot that can stay awake twenty-four seven?”

Ouch. Someone was definitely not in the mood. Silver Fox felt a pang of guilt and slumped her shoulders, suddenly feeling like she’d just woken up a sleeping dragon. She timidly typed back, “But you’re still awake, aren’t you? Since you’re up, why not help me out?”

After a brief pause, a less-than-enthusiastic response pinged back. “What is it?”
