"Why does it feel like there's something different about you?" Janine could not help but comment while taking a glance at Roland.
Although he looked the same, she had just this feeling that something about him had changed.
Was it the way he moved, or was it something ethereal such as a person's aura?
Like Butler Frank, Janine could also not pinpoint what kind of change Roland has experienced.
However, both of them were positive about their guess or intuition. It's just that unlike Butler Frank who later learned the truth, Janine still has no idea on what the change was.
Roland turned to look at Janine. Ever since earlier, Janine has been taking a side-glance at him from time to time with a rosy face.
This time, she could no longer hold her curiosity so she finally decided to ask.
However, Roland was also not fully aware of what truly happened.
All he knew was that it was brought by consuming the level 2 potions, and as for the change that Janine was talking about, he thought that it might be due to the fact that he was already quite thinner compared to himself this morning.
However, he could not tell the existence of the potion to her, can he? So, Roland decided to feign ignorance about the matter.
"What changed? I'm still me," he said with a shrug of his shoulders.
Janine turned to look at him and she ended up just shaking her head as she rolled her eyes at him, "There is truly something different about you, alright?"
Roland touched his chin and lifted it up as he looked at the mirror and said with a light tone "Oh, you actually noticed that I have become even more handsome?"
However, for Janine, Roland has always been handsome in her eyes. She shook her head and said, "That's not it."
Roland was a little downhearted hearing that.
'What do you mean that's not it, do you mean I'm not actually handsome?'
His face has always been his greatest asset. Even before the System came, this was the only thing that he could be proud of aside from his good grades.
And for Janine to say that he was not handsome, Roland's ego was actually hurt a bit.
However, before he could try and retort Janine, the latter actually nodded her head as if she realized something, "Right, that's it. I know what has changed for you now."
Roland stopped on his tracks, curious at what she had comprehended.
"What?"
"Your skin. Your skin was not this smooth this morning. What kind of soap or beauty product have you been using?" She said with a sense of envy as she looked at Roland's almost flawless skin.
Roland was startled from her words. He immediately looked at his skin and noticed that they were truly flawless.
Roland did not notice it earlier, but after those black goo's were removed from his body, his entire well-being has already changed.
His skin became more flawless and perfect, while his body became thin but firm and was brimming with strength.
And with his soul getting enhanced by the blue potion, this kind of change from his inside out did not feel strange as he was able to adapt to it in an instant.
When Janine asked what kind of products he was using, Roland could only smile wryly in response, not knowing what to say to her.
Beauty products? There was nothing of that sort at all.
In fact, he did not even use soap earlier because he thought that he already smelled nice enough.
Right now, Roland could still even smell his scent with his enhanced smell brought by consuming the red potion.
Seeing that Roland has no intention to answer, Janine could only pout her lips in regret as she continued to drive the Ramborghini Sian forward.
After almost an hour and a half later, they finally arrived at the Fore City's Airport.
"What are you going to do here, anyway?"
As per Roland's order, Janine doesn't have to talk to Roland formally if they were not in the villa.
Although Roland told the destination, he actually did not talk much about it and Janine has been curious about his agenda here in the airport.
"I'm meeting a friend of mine. I'll call you later to pick me up, alright?" He answered with the truth.
Stacey has her own sedan so Roland doesn't feel the need to bring his own car to fetch her up. And besides, only two person could fit at the Sian at a time, if Roland wanted to, he could have just brought the Ronda Civic along and not the Ramborghini Sian.
Janine pouted as she asked, "Is it a girl?"
"Yeah," answered Roland.
"Alright!" Janine pouted even more upon hearing that but Roland just ignored her even though he saw her reaction clearly.
"Take care," Roland said before the Ramborghini Sian drove away from him.
Roland finally turned to look at the huge aerodrome.
Stacey's flight would land at the international area so Roland went there to wait.
The area was filled with people waiting for their loved ones abroad while others were there to wait for their friends.
Some of them were holding signs while some just patiently waited.
Roland belonged to the latter.
A few minutes later, Stacey texted that her flight had just landed.
Roland waited for a few more minutes before he saw Stacey getting out of the boarding area.
Stacey was wearing a yellow dress and a yellow hat paired with a black glasses.
She was gorgeous as ever as she pulled the bag behind her.
Roland waved his hand and Stacey's face immediately brightened as she waved back to him in joy.
Roland saw her smile even from afar, and he could not help but smile too.
He received her a while later and helped her pull the heavy bag.
Stacey's car has been parked in the airport for more than a few days.
Roland and Stacey went there as he decided to drive to let Stacey take a rest.
As per Stacey's suggestions, they decided to go to Auntie Estela's restaurant.
It just so happened that Roland also wanted to go over there to talk with Auntie Estela about something.
