Chapter #4The Big 4-0 by: BeeJay   A couple days after that, I noticed dramatic improvement. The lines on my face were fainter, as if I wasn't just a week or so away from my regular Botox treatment. No question about it, I thought, I definitely got the Rejuvix. It even looked like those troublesome spots where my roots had been looking awfully gray were the jet black that I worked so hard to keep them.
My mood buoyed by my daily inspection for the first time ever, I got supper going in the crockpot, then Dylan and I headed off to work.
At CreativeVision, the ladies complimented me, both for my improved appearance and my lighter mood. The men in the office didn't seem to notice yet; in time, I was sure, they would.
I was certainly right about that.

On the day of my 40th birthday, I looked nothing short of amazing. "For somebody who's turning 40," more than one person told me, "you don't look a day over 30."

"You look good, Holly," Mr. Foster, my boss, said.
"Thank you, sir," I replied.
"Come into my office Monday morning," he said. "I'd like to discuss an important client with you."
"I'll be there, sir," I replied, smiling. It worked. Looking more youthful made me look more capable.
