Xena heaved in relief when she knew Fane could not d o anything to her, even if he was upset.
Ben and Fiona took her side and defended her. This left Fane no choice but to give up even if he wanted to murder her.
Fane was calculative, though; he did not poke her bubble of lies right then and there. It seemed that this guy would be extremely difficult to deal with. Xena thought to herself that she had to be careful in front of him in the future. Otherwise, she would be giving the game away.
"Let’s move. It's getting late, and we’ve already made reservations at the hotel diner," Master George chortled and announced.
Right as Master George spoke, Sasa walked out of the house.
"Fane, I just can’t thank you enough! The pill was so effective!"
Sasa rushed to Fane when she spotted him.
"Oh my goodness! She..."
Selena clasped a hand over her mouth as she found it hard to believe her eyes. "Miss Sasa has lost a lot of weight! You're only around 80 to 85 kilograms now, right? You look fitter now! If you lose another 15
kilograms tomorrow, you'll look even better. Not only that, but judging by your features, you'd be a very stunning lady after you lose weight!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Sis!”
Sasa blushed. "If only I was half as good-looking as you after I lost some weight."
"You’ll look good, no doubt about it!" 1
Selena managed to squeeze an awkward smile, even though she had an internal battle when Sasa called her 'Sis'. Last night when Sasa proposed to Fane, she announced that if she ever got married to Fane, she would treat Selena like her dear sister.
Of course, Selena was older than Sasa by a few years. She was not sure if she was oversensitive about this situation.
"The result is pretty good. Today's just the first day, and the result is most obvious and effective on its first day!"
"The outcome will be a little less effective tomorrow, weaker on the day after that, and so on."
