Her heart was filled with excitement as the cab drives her home. At least, she's finally going to be leaving the house for work even if it's just for q short moment. Arriving at the front of the gate later, she hops out of the car and pays the man, but turning around to head to the building, she stops abruptly when she spots Nate standing with his hands tucked into his pockets. She hasn't stopped to think about what happened yesterday. How he's suddenly now her neighbor is what she hasn't brought herself to digest. "I have been calling you, but you didn't answer your phone. Where did you go?" He asks once she stops in front of him. "I went out. Why did you call me?" She asks, and he shrugs. "Well, I wanted us to hang out together, and maybe go shopping. It has been a while since I last shopped, and you know, I just moved in here, and I still need to get some things," He explains to her, and she slowly nods her head. "So, in summary, you're asking me to go to the mall with you to

Chapter 23Her heart beats rapidly against her chest as she stares at the building in front of her. She has just arrived at the restaurant where the dinner appointment is supposed to hold. 'What if she goes in there, and gets bullied again as usual? Will she be able to handle it? What if they don't want to see her because they feel like she's ugly?' She thinks to herself. As much as she wants to turn back because she feels she can't do this, on second thought, she knows she has to do this if she wants to earn a living for herself. It's her first job opportunity and letting her insecurity make her lose it is the last thing on her mind. "You have to accept whatever you see in there," She whispers to herself, then takes a deep breath before she walks elegantly toward the entrance door. Although she's fat, she's still smart enough to walk elegantly. She struggles with her heels as she walks into the spacious and classy restaurant, enduring the excruciating pain she's feeling in her fee

Chapter 25Three days later... The sound of the blaring alarm pulls Lilian out of her deep slumber, and she groans tiredly as she tosses on the bed. It's finally Monday, the day she's supposed to start work at Bradford's company. Standing up from the bed sluggishly, she drags herself to the bathroom and slams the door close as soon as she walks inside. Staring at her reflection in the mirror after she washed her face, she sighs deeply. Yes, she's resuming work today in the company she has always been dreaming about, but she's not feeling too happy about it. The thought of the insults she may receive later is already discouraging her, but she knows that she has to do this. She really needs this job, and now that she got the opportunity, she should be happy, right? "Don't think about it, Lilian. Just stay focused," She mutters to herself, before she strips out of her clothes, and hits the shower to have her bath. Taking forever in the bathroom, she finally walks back into her room

Chapter 26"Just stop it, Ren!" Angry, she yells at the top of her voice before she can control it. Of course, she knows that she just made a mistake, but she can't take this anymore. Not when he's bullying her again. "Did you just talk back at me?" He blinks his eyes, puzzled. Where the hell is the audacity coming from right now? "I'm talking to you, Lilian. Did you just fucking yell at me?" He yell at her this time, making sure to scare the gut out of her, and she gulps down nothing nervously as she takes a step away from him, having a terrified expression on her face. Now, she regrets her action. She doesn't have the nerve to stand up and defend herself, even if she so much wants to do it. She's scared of everything. "Re... Ren... Don't touch me... Don't come close to me," She stutters nervously, stepping away from him as he take a step toward her. Her heart beats rapidly against her chest like it's going to force its way out of her anytime soon. She gulps down another lump as s

Chapter 28 Nate POV My head hurts as I try to force my eyes open, and I close them back again as I slowly touch my forehead. After I dropped Lilian off yesterday, I drove to my apartment and suddenly started feeling sick. I guess it's fever, and I can't even lift a finger right now. With all the strength left in me, I drag myself up to my feet and walk sluggishly into the bathroom, slamming the door behind me. I lean over the water closet and empty my bowel inside, walking back into my room afterward. "Shit!" I curse under my breath as soon as I step into my room and realize that I forgot to close my window yesterday. That might've been the reason I woke up feeling sicker this morning. Throwing myself on the bed, I lazily reach out to the phone that's lying on the bedside table, and I press the power button, turning the screen on. I almost cringe when I see the tons of missed calls from a few people, and my mom happens to be one of them. Why did mom call me? My
