From Stand-In To Riches

Synopsis

After my sister went abroad, I became her stand-in. Dexter Phillips' friends joked with him, asking if he ever wondered whether one day he might fall in love with the stand-in after staring at my face every day. He warned them, "She doesn't even come close to Olivia." He was so certain that I must have deep feelings for him, whcih was why I agreed to be the stand-in. What he didn't know was that I was a highly paid professional stand-in, walking with my wallet, not my heart. Later, when Olivia returned to the country, I simply left. But Dexter, drunk, called me, his voice slurred, "Sienna, you better come back and apologize, or you can kiss your stuff goodbye." On the other end of the line, there was a man's soft laugh. "Apologize?" I couldn't stand it. I reached out to cover Patrick Cook's mouth, pouting playfully, "Stop it..." Dexter's voice, filled with rage, came through the receiver. "Who's that? How many men do you have, really?" I couldn't even respond, as Patrick answered for me. He pulled me into his arms, gently brushing my hair, "Not even worth much, so go ahead and throw it away, ex-husband."
