Since Lola arrived earlier than she should've, she was told to wait in the drawing room while the Lancasters finished their family drama. Lola wasn't alone, though. Hiding in the drawing room was Caullen.
"Lola, why do you even bother with that piece of shit?" Caullen scoffed at her, watching her munch on cookies to calm herself down. "Also, now that I think about it… did you lose weight?"
Lola stopped mid-chew, giving Caullen a flat look. "Caullen, we've seen each other a few times already, and you're only asking me now if I lost weight?"
Wasn't it obvious?
Lola used to be chubby because of her slow metabolism. On top of that, when she got depressed, her coping mechanism was eating. She couldn't be sad and starving at the same time, right? But even then, her weight had just been one more thing people ridiculed her for.
"I'm trying to break the ice," Caullen frowned. "Just pretend we're having a nice conversation."
