"What did you just say?" Bree burst out, disbelief written all over her face. "Why would Nathaniel do something like that? Zara, don't fall for her nonsense. I am certain she is trying to drive a wedge between you two."
She glared at Riya with open disdain before turning back to Zara. "Call him right now. Ask him to come here. I want to see how she keeps lying before Nathaniel."
Bree folded her arms and stood defiant as she stared Riya down.
"Go ahead, call him," Riya said with a nonchalant shrug. "But before that, let me share some good news. I'm officially the new face of Nicole's brand. She sent me the contract already—thanks to Nathaniel."
Zara's expression faltered. Something didn't add up. Why would Nathaniel suddenly go out of his way to help Riya?
Riya's career had been spiraling downward ever since she had lost her deal with Shay Walsh. One endorsement after another had been canceled. Nathaniel hadn't helped her at the time. So why now?
