intrude-irrespective The invisible pair

When Bill learned how to become invisible he began to intrude on everyone's business.

But he wasn't too inventive and people often felt an irregularity in their rooms,

as if they were being watched. Some even stood up to investigate.

One woman's intuition was so good that she almost stepped on Bill's toes,
有個女人的直覺特好, 差點兒就踩到了比爾的 腳趾頭。
which would have invalidated the irresistible attraction of spying for sure.

But Bill was lucky and he began to turn his gift into an investment. He took inventory of the belongings of several rich people,

and slowly began to take invaluable items home for himself. But he never took invoices

Bill said he had purchased. Irrespective of her very intuitive concerns, however,

Now she couldn't accept sudden riches in her own home! She had to know what was going on.

when she understood the implications of being invisible. She even had an inverse reaction
