"Hey guys, what's up," Liam asked the group as he placed his lunch in the staff refrigerator.
"Not too much, Helen and I were just game planning today," Elizabeth responded professionally.
"Also on the job, Elizabeth. Don't work too hard, Rebekah."
"Don't worry about that," Helen joked.
"What about you? Did you enjoy your weekend," Liam asked Rebekah.
Rebekah just scowled at Liam and rolled her eyes. "Brent cheated on me, so we're going to say 'no'." Her slender arms were crossed over her chest, and her freckles were turning an even darker shade of brown as her cheeks reddened. Liam admittedly thought Rebekah was very cute, so her ex must have been an idiot to do something so impulsively stupid.
"Whatever, you were being a bitch to him at the party," Jade chimed in, rolling her eyes as she popped her gum. "I know I wouldn't have stuck around if someone was nagging me like that."
"He was telling me I didn't have big enough... you know what? I'm not having this conversation. Let's just say that my proportions are just fine. I'd rather be thin than be carrying around a bunch of extra weight. I mean, people that look like that should be ashamed of themselves, or at least just try a little harder to take care of their bodies. Seriously, just because I'm thin, I should feel bad for myself?" she drifted off as she realized Helen was looking at herself self-consciously.
"See, you're being a bitch again," Jade responded as she raised an eyebrow, popping her gum one more time, "Poor Rebekah, woe is her," she ended with a tinge of sarcasm.
This got the wheels turning in Liam's head. Was Rebekah really that vain? Did she always walk around making others feel bad about themselves? Any attraction Liam had for her quickly went away when he realized that she propped herself up by making others feel worse about themselves. Maybe it was time for the TSAR to make an appearance...
