Nicole was surrounded with scandals as of late, but her assistant and manager were worried that the bad press would influence her emotions and prevented her from reading the news online. It was only now that she was aware of the fake Cooper incident, which made her pleasantly surprised.

“He’s now an Internet sensation?” Nicole exclaimed. “With the possibility of entering show business?”

She snatched the cell phone from Sophia and replayed the uploaded video of the Cooper lookalike. The more she watched it, the more excited she became.

Sophia reiterated the news that was announced a few days ago. “Talk about coincidences. Your crush has been hanging around at the film studio for a few days. He must have been handsome for someone to have taken a picture of him and uploaded it on social media. Taylor and Lord Winston must have seen it and reshared it too, leading him to become an overnight Internet sensation. Look, this video was only uploaded three hours ago. A famous director has already assigned a role to him. Who knows if you might run into him at one of the filming sites? Here’s your chance!”

An initially elated Nicole played the video several times, but her happiness soon fell into disappointment. “He’s just a lookalike. He’s not the one.”

“Huh?”

Sophia couldn’t believe what she heard.

Nicole thought Sophia had misheard her and repeated, “I appreciate what you’ve done, but this person is not him. He just looks very much like him.”

Before Sophia could respond, Nicole added, “I met him five days ago. The man in this video isn’t him, but a doppelganger. Look at him and watch how he speaks. The one whom I met speaks fluently without any accent.”

She continued to compare the video and Cooper’s photograph, picking on every single detail. “He doesn’t have an arched eyebrow and canine teeth. Even his hairline isn’t the same. I spoke to him five days ago. He still remembers me and this person isn’t him.”

 

Sophia, who was still in disbelief, inquired, “Are you really sure?”

Nicole replied calmly, “I’ve been looking at his photographs every single day for the past seven years. I can’t be wrong.”

 

She pulled out more photographs of Cooper from the album to study them one by one and pointed with her finger.
