Maria's growth might have been stunted from poor nutrition and frequent farm work when she was young. Even after joining the Donovan family, she never grew taller.
Maria's skin wasn't actually bad. She just lacked awareness about sunscreen and skincare, which left her skin a bit tanned from the sun.
Maria sighed. "I wouldn't say I care too much, but in my line of work, it feels like I should be thinner and have lighter skin. Clothes and jewelry just look better that way."
Athena nodded. "That's true. Nowadays, beauty standards favor being fair and slim. It's completely normal to want lighter skin and to look better in clothes."
She paused for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, I've got something good for you."
She went into her room and came back with two bottles in hand.
"This is a fullness pill. Take one before eating, and it will increase your sense of fullness by 30%. Basically, you'll feel full after eating only two-thirds of what you'd normally eat, and you won't want to eat more. This fullness pill has no side effects, and you shouldn't take more than 5 pills in a day. In short, weight loss should be gradual. Don't rush it. Staying healthy is the most important thing."
Maria picked up the small transparent bottle, gazing at the rice-sized pills inside, and exclaimed, "Athena, you're not secretly a fairy from heaven, are you? Bringing magical pills from heaven that don't exist in the human world?"
Athena laughed at her remark. "No, no, these are just the results of scientific research."
She introduced the other large jar of ointment. "This is a skin-whitening and smoothing cream. Just follow the instructions, and it works really well."
Maria twisted open the jar of white cream and was greeted by a faint, pleasant blend of natural floral and herbal scents. Just by the smell, she could tell it was something good.
She thought for a moment but couldn't resist asking, "Athena, is this cream... very expensive?"
Athena laughed and said, "It is pretty expensive. It's better if you don't ask the price. I'm afraid if you knew, you might be too scared to use it."
This jar of cream was worth as much as a car.
She hadn't taken it out before because she didn't think anyone in the family needed it.
"Athena..." Maria was so touched that she hugged her arm. "You're too good to me. I don't know how to repay you."
Athena had heard that a lot recently.
She patted Maria's head and pulled out a gym membership card from her bag. "This is a VIP card for a chain gym. You can join group classes or personal training sessions. You should go and work out whenever you have time."
Maria carefully took the exquisite black card and asked, "This card must be expensive, right?"
Athena smiled and said, "It is indeed expensive, so you should go often, or else it would be a waste."
Maria hugged her arm again. "Thank you, Athena. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."
Athena patted her head again and said, "Alright, I'm leaving tomorrow. Work hard, and when I come back, I want to see your progress."
After saying that, she went to bed without any more sentimentality.
During the National Day holiday, while everyone across the country was celebrating, Athena donned a mask and winter gear to lead a team of more than twenty people into the uninhabited wilderness of the Surban primeval forest for an archaeological expedition.
Although all team members had passed assessments to qualify for participation, they still underwent a week of specialized training before officially entering the primeval forest.
Joy's performance in all aspects was outstanding as if she had received long-term professional training.
This naturally caught Athena's attention.
Athena remained composed and teamed up with Joy, and they were gone for more than a month.
