The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Nellie paused for a moment when Cassie asked for her help. Her emotions were all over the place, but she managed to keep them to herself. After taking a deep breath, she finally said, "Alright, I got it. I'll jot down the recipe and the steps for making the fragrance."

Cassie chimed in, "Thanks a lot, Nellie."

Cassie's voice had that youthful clarity with a touch of respect that made Nellie's throat tighten a bit. Before hanging up, Nellie added, "Try not to stick to Rea too much."

Cassie felt a twinge of irritation but didn't let it show. Instead, she asked, "Why not?"

Cassie felt a bit hurt and tried to defend herself, "Well, I'm not as good as her, but I do have my moments..."

"Can you dodge danger like she can?" Nellie's voice dripped with sarcasm.

Cassie scratched her nose, getting the hint right away. "So, you're saying I'm just dragging sis down?"

"Glad you get it," Nellie replied flatly before ending the call.
