The Alpha's Chubby Obsession. novel Chapter 210

Book 2:Chapter 3-1

Idara

One Tuesday afternoon, after yet another day of doing absolutely nothing, lunchtime finally rolled

around. The office had a cafeteria downstairs where employees could go eat, and honestly, it was

the only part of the day I ever looked forward to.

Eliot walked up to my desk with a bright smile on his face.

“Well, Idara,” he said cheerfully, flashing those white teeth of his, “why don’t we all go eat lunch

together?”

I nodded, relieved for the distraction.

But before I could even stand up, Faye laughed lightly.

“Seriously, Eliot,” she said, waving a hand dismissively, “we can eat alone like we always do.

Besides, it doesn’t look like Idara needs more food.”

She laughed again, like it was the most harmless joke in the world.

I froze.

I didn’t know if she truly thought what she said was funny, but I didn’t find it amusing-not even a

little. I was used to comments like that. Too used to them. And because of that, I knew exactly

when someone was insulting me and when they were pretending not to.

“Faye,” Eliot called out, surprise clear in his voice.

“What?” she asked, blinking innocently, as if she had no idea what she’d just done.

That was it.

I knew this pattern. I had lived it before with Marilyn. If I didn’t stop it now, it would only get worse.

“I know you don’t like me,” I said calmly. Both of them turned to look at me. “But if you insult my

weight, I’ll insult you too.”

My voice was firm, steady-no hesitation.

Faye raised an eyebrow and scoffed.

“With what?” she asked, clearly confident I wouldn’t dare.

“Hey, guys, no,” Eliot tried to cut in, already sensing where this was headed.

“I might be fat,” I said bluntly, “but at least I don’t have bent legs like yours.”

The words slipped out before I could stop them.

Clai

Eliot’s eyes immediately dropped to her legs, and the next thing he did was turn away, covering his

mouth to hide his reaction.

Faye stood there, completely stunned.

And it wasn’t like her legs were perfectly straight-her knees almost looked like they were trying to

kiss each other.

Without saying another word, she turned abruptly and walked away.

I exhaled slowly, my chest tight.

Looks like my big mouth has gotten me into trouble again.

That was when I heard a small chuckle escape from Eliot. I turned to look at him, and suddenly he burst out laughing, no longer bothering to cover his mouth.

“My goodness, Idara,” he said between laughs, turning toward me, his face full of smiles. “I really

didn’t expect that.”

“Yeah, but I just hope she doesn’t report me,” I said, letting out a breath.

He sighed, nodding slightly.

“Well, for one, she probably will.”

A bad feeling settled in my stomach immediately.

“But she did it first,” he continued. “You’ll just have to explain everything to Mrs. Lucy.”

Mrs. Lucy-the woman I met on my first day. The one who oversees most of us.

I nodded slowly.

“Don’t think too much about it,” Eliot added. “Come on, let’s go eat lunch.”

I cleared my throat, forced a small smile, and stood up. We began walking together.
