Face-Slapping System

After some thought, Roland found out that Butler Frank might not be the best person to ask about this matter.

After all, he came from another city and only moved here a few days ago. No matter how capable he was, his knowledge regarding the ins and outs of this city would surely not exceed those who lived here for at least a decade.

There was also the case of him having not much time to investigate, so he could only rely on the internet for some information.

Roland did not blame Butler Frank for this matter. He has already done enough.

After chatting with Butler Frank for an hour, Roland finally went to his room to sleep as it was already late.

His room has already been cleaned by Housekeeper Stella and the others. There was no longer any foul smell that lingered in the air, only a floral sweet scent that was gentle to one's nose.

Their efficiency was truly top notch. He wondered where the system managed to find them.

Anyways, after chatting a bit with Stacey, Roland drifted to sleep and as usual, he woke up before five and did his usual routine.

After performing a few sets in the gym room, he went outside to run ten kilometers again.

Now that he bought and consumed the Level 2 Physique and the Soul Enhancement Potion at the same time, Roland did not feel any kind of awkwardness when he woke up in the morning, unlike when he consumed the Physique Enhancement Potion for the first time.

Either way, exercising has already become his daily routine so he has no problem performing them at all. In fact, with the increase in his strength after consuming the level 2 potions, he even decided to do more sets than usual.

After doing the sets and after jogging, as usual, Roland received a good morning text from Stacey. This has also been a daily routine for them, greeting each other in the morning.

The two of them planned to go over to the mall right now so that Stacey could personally hand her resignation letter over. At the same time, Roland also wanted to inquire about that employee's situation so that he could understand what had truly happened for him to resort to such things.

After changing into some simple white shirt and black pants, Roland went downstairs to eat breakfast together with the other workers.

After he was full, he asked Janine to send him to Stacey's place as they plan to go there with her sedan.

On the way there, Roland could not help but notice that Janine was acting a little odd.

For some reason, she has not been talking to him.

"Is something wrong?" He could not help but ask her.

Janine was startled after hearing his voice. Due to what she realized yesterday, coupled with her mother's warning, Janine has been conscious about her actions towards Roland.

In order not to say anything unnecessary, she decided to stay silent. She just did not expect Roland to notice that she was acting this way.

Her heart fluttered for some reason but in the end, she just shook her head, indicating that there was nothing wrong.

Seeing her simple response made Roland even more certain that something was wrong. Usually, she would respond with some enthusiastic tone if she was alright, and a heavy sigh if something was wrong.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

This time, Janine nodded lightly and continued to stay silent.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Roland could just sigh in disappointment, "Alright, just remember that you can always talk to me if there's a problem."

Although he just met Janine yesterday, Roland actually likes her straightforward attitude a lot. It was only with someone like her that you would be able to see someone's true emotions.

With them around in your circle, you won't be worried about getting betrayed.

Janine nodded her head, in response to Roland's words.

After slightly just over thirty minutes, Roland finally arrived at Stacey's house. After bidding Janine a farewell, he texted Stacey with the messenger app that he was already outside.

It did not take long for Stacey to get out of her house, looking as pretty as ever.

She opened the gate for Roland before she tiptoed, wrapped around her arms on his neck, before her lips landed on Roland's.

"Good morning!" She said with a smile after kissing Roland.

Roland smiled in response before he kissed her back. Unlike yesterday, he was no longer as nervous when they were kissing.

It's not that he has already gotten used to it, but rather, his confidence and mastery about this stuff just slowly increased in real time, after all, Roland has a Level 2 Soul.

After flirting right in front of the gate, the two of them finally drove towards the mall.

They arrived at the mall around 8:30, just a ten minute ride from Stacey's home with a little bit of road traffic on their way.

As they have a clear purpose, the two of them went directly to the HR's office to pass her resignation letter. She had already informed the store owner of her choice a few days back when she decided not to work anymore. Fortunately, the store owner did not make it hard for her and only told her to pass the resignation letter directly to the HR.

After the HR' signed the documents, Stacey had now become officially unemployed.

After they left the HR's office, the woman, who entertained them earlier, dialed a number on her local telephone.

"Boss, she has already passed the resignation letter. And just like you requested, we settled it as soon as possible, in fact, she had already left just a moment ago."

Upon hearing that, the man, who she called 'boss', actually released a sigh of relief.

"Good! Good! Good! You guys did good this time. Alright, as a reward, I'll treat you guys to lunch later," His tone was light and seemed even a bit enthusiastic.

It was as if a huge boulder that had been weighing him down had just been lifted off his shoulders.

The woman who entertained Stacey and Roland earlier also noticed the tone of his voice. She could not help but ask, "Boss, as far as I know, her performance has always been good. Why does it seem like you're even more happy than her that she resigned?"
