"Rose's Diary - September/2005"
Chubby was brilliant! She promised to help me with my revenge, and she was keeping her word. Ever since that old devil fired me from the dairy, I had been planning my revenge against him. He discovered I was taking money from the company's cash register and made a huge scene, humiliated me, and threw me out of the dairy. But I didn't regret what I did - that company made tons of money, and I only took a little because I deserved better than what that stingy old man was paying me. Besides, I wasn't the only one - Chubby was also taking her share. Then, after I left, he put his son there to watch everything and ruined our scheme. Before that, his son only stayed at the farm and rarely came to the company - I never even saw him there.
And Chubby didn't waste time either - she quickly became interested in the old man's son, Orlando. He was handsome indeed, but what really interested Chubby wasn't him, it was his money. He was the old man's only son. Chubby tried to hit on Orlando as soon as he started coming to the company, but he showed no interest in her. So, she decided to write anonymous letters to Orlando's wife saying he was having an affair. She wanted them to fight so she could have the opportunity to comfort him. Poor guy! He was a saint who never looked at other women, but his wife believed she was being cheated on, and they fought - the poor thing even left home.
Chubby, being no fool, took advantage of their separation and pursued Orlando again. This time he fell for her sweet talk, and they were together a few times, but he ended things with her, saying it wouldn't work because he was in love with his wife. Chubby went crazy. A few days later, he went back to his wife, discovered she was pregnant, and was over the moon about becoming a father again - their other child was already ten years old, an annoying, spoiled boy full of quirks. I didn’t like that kid.
Then Chubby found out the old man's son needed a maid at the farm and got me the position. I didn't know how she did it, but she managed to get the old man's son to hire me as their house maid. I hate being the house maid - his wife was a pain who wouldn't leave me alone, always following me around, ordering me to do things. I was not here to work, I was here for revenge. According to Chubby, this woman was the old man's favorite - he adored his daughter-in-law, especially at that time that she was pregnant again, he was always fawning over her.
I was afraid the old man would recognize me, but Chubby gave me an idea. I dyed my hair and changed the cut, got these horrible bangs that fall into my eyes they're so long, but they worked to hide my face. I bought some large glasses without prescription and also got one of those dental prosthetics. I became unrecognizable - the old man had't realized who I was, but then again, whenever he came around, I hid as much as I could and always walked with my head down.
Chubby had discovered that Orlando was going to a neighboring town this week to close a deal. Yesterday she gave me some medicine, saying that when Orlando left and I was alone with his wife, I could find a way to make her take it. Chubby said it would induce labor, and the baby would be born prematurely. I found this strange, but Chubby said to trust her. And when the woman went into labor, I was not supposed to call the doctor, but to let her know, and she would send a midwife here. From what I understand, she was going to make Orlando's wife feel labor pains. I did't think this was such a big deal, but I promised to help, so I had to do it.
Oh, I needed to stop calling Rita "Chubby", she hated it, but it was so funny to see how angry she got. But then again, she was chubby when she got this nickname from a boy she was interested in when we were teenagers. Poor thing got rejected - the boy said they were just friends and that she was too chubby for him. Everyone started calling her Chubby, and she got very irritated by it. But afterward, she decided to go on a diet and lost a lot of weight, it was like she had divided herself in two, got really thin, but the nickname had already stuck, and everyone was already calling Rita "Chubby." Later, she was getting more bad-tempered every day, so I thought it was better to stop calling her Chubby because I didn't want to fight with her.
