Plump, Hated, And Bullied

Got an email

Staying at home all day is going to be so boring for Lilian, especially as Lisa is not around to keep her company. Getting involved with the other maids in the mansion is like going on a suicide mission, and that is the last she would want to experience. 
Staring at the screen of her phone as she stands on the balcony, she thinks of calling Nate but decided against it on a second thought. They're not even that close, so why should she call him? 
Unlocking her phone, she checks out the gallery, going through the heap of pictures in it, and seeing her picture with her dad when she was still a kid, she can't help but miss the man. It has been a couple of weeks since she last saw him. How was she supposed to see him, since she now lives with Ren who wouldn't let her out of the house for some reason best known to him.
Talking about Ren, she can't help but wonders why he has been acting so weird since days ago. Not that it's her business anyway. 
"Maybe going to the hospital today won't be a bad idea," She mutters to herself thoughtfully. Ren is not around, so it'll be easy to move around freely until the devil comes back home again. 
Walking back into her room, she changes into a casual dress before she leaves for the hospital. 
The drive to the clinic took pretty much time since it's kind of far from Ren's house. At least she arrived an hour later. It has been a while since she was last here. 
Walking down the lobby minutes later, she makes her way to the ward where the poor man is, and as expected, he's still in a coma and on life supporting machine. 
Her heart sinks into her stomach as she drags her feet toward the chair beside the bed, sitting on it afterward. She was supposed to be there for this man who did everything for her while she was growing up, but it was also nobody's fault that he was unfortunate enough to get married to a wicked woman that cares only about herself, right? 
Taking his hand slowly, she plants a kiss on it as a drop of tears slid down her cheeks. She has so much to say to him, even as he's still in a coma, but where will she start? She just hopes that he'll eventually be fine and wake up again. 
After spending a few minutes with him, she went to see the doctor before she finally exits the hospital after about two hours after arriving. 
Stepping out of the hospital, she stops on her track when she sees her stepmother alight from a shiny car, smiling brightly at whoever is in the car, but it's obvious to her that the person is a man and not a woman. 
Slowly, she clenches her fists beside her and grits her teeth in anger. She watches as Felicia leans over the car window, kissing the man that just dropped her off. This bitch is cheating on her dad? That's ridiculous. Standing there and wondering what she'll probably say when she realizes that she saw everything, Felicia finally turns around to head to the hospital after the man drives away, but she stops on her track and her face holds a blank expression when she sees Lilian standing there. 
"Are you cheating on my dad?" Unable to control the anger that keeps eating her up, she strides to her and asks, while having her finger clenched beside her like she's trying so hard not to punch her in the face. Not that she has the balls to do that, anyway. She grew up being scared of this woman, so that'll be pretty impossible. Not that she can do anything to her now, but she's not as bold as that. 
"It has been a while, Lilian. You still haven't lost weight. What a pathetic life," Felicia says instead, ignoring her question, and she gulps down nothing. She was expecting this, anyway. She would bully her as always. 
"Answer my question, are you cheating on my dad?" She asks for the second time, determined to know the truth. Although she saw everything clearly, she still wants to be cleared about this whole shit. 
"Cheating on your dad? Why would you think that?" Felicia shrugs, even though she knows why Lilian asked her that. She just fucking saw her kiss another man, how the hell does she still dares to ask her that stupid question?
"I saw what you did with that man. You two were..."
"Kissing? I didn't know you saw that. Maybe I'll introduce you two next time. He's my boyfriend," Felicia blurts out shamelessly, rolling her eyes. How she dares to spill those shameless words is still crazy to think about. 
Lilian furrows her eyebrow in shock. The fact that she even admits the man is her boyfriend makes her so angry, but too bad that there's nothing she can do. She can't even fight for herself, let alone fight for her sick dad, so she's eventually going to let this slide. 
"What's with that look? Don't tell me you're angry on behalf of your dad. That's crazy, Lilian. I'm doing you and your dad a favor, so you should be grateful. At least, I'm still here to take care of him," Felicia shrugs, and she gulps down nothing angrily. Yes, she's right. She shouldn't be angry if she doesn't want her dad to suffer later, but she would've been here to take care of the man, if not for the woman that gave her out to that bastard, right? 
"Anyway, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be busy going to the gym, than rather wasting your time coming over here?" Felicia speaks sarcastically, crossing her arms on her chest. 
"I'll be on my way now," Fighting her tears back, because there's no way she's ever going to shed a tear in front of this witch, she says to her, and without waiting for another second, she scurries away. 
Standing at the roadside a few minutes later, she finally let her tears fall freely down her cheeks, as she awaits a cab to come take her home. Of course, she would've loved to order uber, but does she fucking have the money to? Where's she supposed to get the money from? 
She wipes her tears as she's already getting attention from people passing by, but more keep coming, so she eventually gives up wiping them. 
After waiting for another five minutes, she finally flags down a cab and hops in. Going home now will be like going from hell to the pit of it, so clearing her head somewhere would be just nice. 
"Sky-gate tower," She says to the cabby as she stares out through the window. She has no idea what she's going to be doing there, but she feels like going there will make her feel much better, anyway. 
The drive to the place is somewhat silent as both she and the cabby minded their businesses, and she's quite happy that she wasn't unfortunate enough to end up boarding those parrots of drivers. 
"Thank you," She says to the man after she hops out of the car, and pays him his money. 
The car zooms off afterward. 
Staring at the building in front of her, many thought rushes through her mind as she stares up at the peak of it. What does it feel like jumping from there? Death! Should she just climb this damn tower, jump off it, and end everything once and for all? Besides, she's not living a happy life, nobody loves her, and the only person that does, is in danger, and she can't even do anything to help her. What the hell is she living for? 
Her phone suddenly beeps, pulling her from her train of thought, just before she proceeds to the big iron gate, and she stops abruptly, reaching out lazily for the phone. It's an email from a company. 
'Miss Lilian Sanchez, it is with excitement to let you know that you are going to be hired as a secretary in Bradford's empire. We'll be expecting you at the company first thing tomorrow morning for the final interview. Best regards, Chris Arnaldo' she blinks her eyes rapidly as she stares at the message for the umpteenth time. This message can't be meant for her, but her name is fucking there. What's this supposed to mean?
