What is the name of this potted plant with large, dark green, waxy-looking leaves?

Question

I have bought it from an old lady that said it is a rubber tree. It doesn't look like a rubber plant from what I've seen on Google so far. Can you tell me what it is?

Are you sure? No woody stem, could peperomia? – kevinskio Dec 02 '16 at 17:20
Well, it looks like Peperomia obtusifolia. Thank you. – Alina Dec 02 '16 at 17:48
