Substitute Model

Chapter 2: Meting Out Justice to the Deceitful Duo

...

Thus marked the initiation of the downfall of a renowned supermodel, but as it appeared, Sophie's tale was far from over.

Truth be told, Sophie, herself, hadn't realized the extent of her audacity - she had actually wedded a man she barely knew! But what was done was done, and she would never rue her decision.

Sophie got back to her Cadillac. As she was just about to ignite the engine and navigate back home, a call from Nathan interrupted her.

"Sophie, where are you presently?" he asked.

"Outside the local civil affairs office, about to head home," Sophie replied, keeping her emotions guarded.

"Amber has an important event lined up. I need you to stand in for her immediately. I'll instruct the stylist to arrange a disguise for you - nobody will recognize you," Nathan directed, asserting his superiority.

"Since Amber's injured, you'd have to bear the inconvenience a bit..."

"Wasn't it reported that Miss Amber sustained injuries on stage? By now, the media must have been informed about her hospitalization."

"I've already arranged for someone to spread the rumor that she'll be attending despite her injuries... I told you to be there, so just be there," Nathan seemed flustered, not accustomed to Sophie's back talk.

His audacity was appalling. Sophie had already undertaken numerous such absurd tasks for Amber in the past.

It seemed she was just being manipulated, but she wasn't going to let this continue!

Sophie maintained her composed demeanor and nodded. "Alright, send me the details. I'll head there immediately."

"Sophie, we're on the verge of getting married. Assist Amber in boosting her career a little, it's on the upswing right now."

"She'll definitely get a boost, alright..." Sophie retorted, her words layered with hidden intent and a smirk playing on her lips.

"I'll hang up then. We'll dine together later," Nathan ended the call, oblivious to the fact that the situation was not in his favor any longer.

He was probably sitting by Amber's bedside at this moment, tending to his lover.

Sophie ended the call and dialed her manager's number next.

Her manager was infuriated, "Nathan wants you to fill in for that second-rate model? Is he out of his mind? If you hadn't decided to step down from the limelight, she wouldn't even stand a chance in the industry."

"Lisa, I've agreed to it..." Sophie responded, her voice calm as she collected her stuff.

"Are you really going there...?" Her manager almost choked on his disbelief.

Sophie and Amber were both signed models under Global pictures entertainment , but because of Sophie's decision to retreat , her manager was dragged down with her and ridiculed.

Sophie knew her manger wanted to stick up for her injustice.

Reassuringly she responded "I won't be that stupid anymore, I will not let them use me !"

After hearing those words from Sophie, the face of her manger lit up, "so are you saying , you've a plan ?"

"Lisa, from now on I can only trust you, can you help me do something ?"

"Speak." Her manager was loyal to her, after all they shared the same objective.

"Amber is so desperate to convince the media that she's attending the show even with her injuries because she doesn't want to impact her eligibility for the top 10 model awards.' I'm going to the Rosewalk Hospital , will meet you there."

"I see, What you're getting at. Obtain evidence that she was still at the hospital during her show and reveal it to the public." The manager smirked excitedly.

"No, I've a bigger news , She's pregnant and the child is Nathan's.Also help me prepare a statement stating that Nathan has used me multiple times to substitute Amber during the shows. As for which shows ? I will need you to help me find evidence for that."

Lisa was surprised at first, but quickly understood why Sophie's attitude had changed . Such a shameless cheating couple ! Not only did they cheat, but they also used Sophie - ordering her around like a puppet.

They clearly deserve what's coming up for them, "Don't worry Sophie, I will help you do all these things." Assured Lisa. Sophie did not respond. She felt unusually calm. She was going to treat them like they had treated her!

After clearing her thoughts, Sophie quickly gathered her things and drove herself over to the venue for the show to meet up with Amber's assistant, John was a married man with a strong and bulky physique and cunning personality.

He was reasonably polite with Sophie. Even though she was no longer famous the Monroe family was still not one tobe looked down upon.

"What took you so long ? Quick..... Come and get your makeup done... "

"What type of show is it today ?" Sophie asked as she was hurried down the hallway in her high stilettos.

"Nothing special." The assistant replied.
