From his observation, Roland guessed that Miss Stacey had a considerable position in this store.
He assud that Miss Stacey just wanted to make up to him for the rude behavior of the sales lady. He asked that question, as he was afraid that he might trouble her.
"No worries at all," Miss Stacey replied simply, not willing to divulge more information.
"Alright then," Roland shrugged his shoulders, not intending to decline her.
He thought that it would be rude and besides, he was really not familiar in the mall, and it just so happened that Miss Stacey was one of the managers here and that she offered to be his guide so why would he decline the offer?
Just as he was about to go with Miss Stacey, he suddenly rembered that he was still wearing dirty clothes.
He bought the clothes earlier for the sole purpose of spoiling himself as well as to get a change of clothes while he was at it. Now that he already has the clothes, he figured that he should change into them first.
"Can you wait for a mont? I'll change my clothes first," he inford Miss Stacey.
Miss Stacey simply nodded her head before Roland walked away to change his outfit in the store's fitting room.
anwhile, after his figure disappeared from their view, Miss Stacey's smile gradually disappeared as she looked at the sales lady coldly.
"How many tis must I tell you that you should not look down on anyone else? You did it to before when I just beca the manager and now you did it again to a wealthy custor no less."
"I really don't know what's going on inside that small head of yours. Sooner or later, you will offend soone you could not afford. Perhaps, it would be better if I fire you instead?" Miss Stacey did not hold back her words as she glared at the sales lady coldly.
This ti, they almost lost a valuable custor just because of this girl's useless and narrow mindset. How could she not be mad?
'It's truly a good thing that I have been reading novels since high school and learned not to look down on anyone, especially those with ssy appearance. Or else, my mindset might have beco as narrow as this girl.' Miss Stacey secretly thanked her past self as she shook her head.
Speaking of novels, she also truly did not expect to et soone like Roland today.
All this while, she has been fantasizing about eting a person with a secret identity like in the novels she read. For example, a girl that was secretly a hacker, a teen who was secretly a mafia boss, and many other hidden identities that she has read about.
She fantasized about eting at least one of them the mont she started reading those kinds of novels.
That was also the reason why she trained herself to beco humble and respectful towards others as she was afraid of offending those bigshots. She wanted to befriend them, not offend them.
This ti, she thought that it would be just a normal day. However, she did not expect that one of the store employees was actually arguing with a dirty looking person. Fortunately, she managed to stepped-in on ti and managed to et him and even saw his actions of waving the 1000 Global Dollar bill as if it was nothing.
At that mont, as if a fuse had lit up inside of her, Miss Stacey imdiately knew that perhaps, her fantasy of eting a 'secret CEO' would beco true.
This was also part of the reason why she wanted to accompany Roland as she wanted to befriend him and know him better.
The thought of Roland being the secret boss excited her to no end that her face actually flushed red without her knowing.
The sales lady, the cashier, and the security guard looked at her with a strange gaze.
It was only a mont ago that she was reprimanding the sales lady, why did she smile all of a sudden?
The three of them looked at each other, secretly thinking to themselves, "Does the manager, Miss Stacey, actually have screw loose?"
At this point, Miss Stacey finally noticed that she was acting strange.
"Ehemm. You're lucky that I'm in a good mood today or else…" She said to the sales with a threatening gaze.
The sales lady bowed again in sha as she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She was actually scared shitless earlier when the manager said that she would fire her. Fortunately, it seems that she managed to dodge a bullet this ti.
"Thank you, Miss Stacey," the sales lady bowed again and again as she expressed her gratitude.
"It's ti that you change your attitude already. Rember there won't be next ti. The sa applies to the two of you, understand?"
The three of them nodded their heads.
The cashier was confused at first but after putting the information she heard so far, she more or less figured out what had happened.
"Alright, go back to work," Miss Stacey waved her hand gently, seeing them nod their heads repeatedly. She only hopes that this incident won't happen again in the future.
Shortly after the guard and the sales lady left, Roland ca back with confidence strides, looking nothing like compared to himself earlier.
Seeing him, the cashier and Miss Stacey's jaw dropped to the ground in shock.
…
Going back to the mont earlier when Roland walked away to change.
Inside the changing room, Roland looked at himself in the mirror and could not help but shake his head in disappointnt.
He had a scrawny body and had disheveled hair. His cheek was sunken, and his eyes had black eye bags below them. He has a high nose and good face, perhaps enough not to make a girl repulse on the first date. His complexion was a little pale, almost comparable to a corpse.
Looking at his miserable appearance, only now did he realize just how he abandoned taking care of himself these past two years.
He slowly took off his shirt and saw his ribs almost poking out of his body. His chest barely and arms barely have any muscles on them and abs? They were nowhere to be seen.
Seeing his pathetic body, Roland could only sigh as he blad his past self for neglecting it. He promised to himself that from now on, he would try to take care and love himself more.
Just as he was about to take off his jeans, he suddenly recalled the Physique Enhancent Potion in the Face-Slapping Store and wondered what kind of effect it would bring to this scrawny body of his.
Thinking about that, he summoned the System screen and proceeded towards the Face-Slapping Store.
After hesitating for a mont, he finally bought the Physique Enhancent Potion for 50 Face-Slapping Points.
Ding!
[Congratulations. You bought the Physique Enhancent Potion for 50 FS Points. Please check the handbag for the item.]
Upon reading that, Roland did not hesitate and imdiately checked the handbag that the cashier gave earlier.
There, he saw a small red bottle sitting at the top of the folded clothes he bought earlier.
