Jessica made a raucous laugh, as she scrutinized Melody's body from head to toe. She then questioned, "Are you sure about not taking those pills? You have some extra weight on you for sure, and you'll earn more if you lose it. Men prefer skinny women, trust me, I've been working here for years. They like small women, and you're not small.

Melody felt humiliated as the words hit her like gunshots, causing her cheeks to flare up. She lowered her head in embarrassment.
"I'll think about it, thanks," Melody stuttered out a reply, and then stumbled towards the door.
As the sound of Jessica's laughter disappeared behind her, Melody stopped for a moment and took a deep breath, trying to process what had just happened.
