00:00I did to become a sugar baby
00:01when a phone fell out of thin air and knocked me flat.
00:03Turns out, I'm living in a Metflex series,
00:05but the comments were what really shocked me.
00:07Is Zoe seriously this stupid?
00:09She's actually going to meet that disgusting old man?
00:11Meanwhile, her roommates used her photos
00:13to catfish rich, cute boyfriends.
00:15Chloe's the real charmer.
00:16They all end up falling for her,
00:18not even caring who was in the photo.
00:19So that explains it.
00:20No wonder the three of them are living in luxury.
00:22Zoe, pose for me.
00:23I did as said.
00:25Wow, Mia sent that photo to Ryan
00:27and he wired her 10 grand on the spot.
00:28Rich kid behavior.
00:3010 grand for one photo?
00:31I was burning with jealousy.
00:33But then Mia suddenly screamed
00:35and the other two rushed over to her.
00:37Chloe shot me a look.
00:38Zoe, weren't you just leaving?
00:40What are you still doing here?
00:41Obviously, she was trying to get rid of me.
00:43Oh, right, on my way out.
00:53What do I do?
00:54Ryan says he wants to see me.
00:55This is the third time.
00:56If I turn him down again,
00:57he's definitely get suspicious.
00:57Then say yes for now.
00:59When the time comes,
00:59tell him something came up and you can't make it.
01:01We'll cover for you.
01:01Okay, I'll text him that.
01:02Thanks, Chloe.
01:03The comments went wild again.
01:05Leave it to Chloe to solve it.
01:06She's the MVP for a reason.
01:07She's basically their savior.
01:09Without her,
01:09those two would never be living this kind of life.
01:11And that confirmed it.
01:12Chloe is the main character of this series.
01:15And me?
01:16I'm just a stepping stone on her path to a perfect life.
01:19From the comments,
01:20I pieced everything together.
01:21My roommates were catfishing the campus elite.
01:25Ryan's the quarterback, not just handsome, but a trust fund baby from an old money family.
01:30Justin is a pop star who debuted at 15.
01:33He's barely ever on campus.
01:34Nicholas, a star alumni and heir to the wealthiest family in the country.
01:38And the craziest part?
01:39They were cousins.
01:39Well, whatever.
01:41This was a soap opera after all.
01:42My roommates had made at least several million off those boys.
01:45Growing up, my mom always told me,
01:47You're a beautiful girl and that's wonderful.
01:50But you must never sell yourself for money.
01:52But now my mom can't afford her medical bills.
01:54While these girls are using my face to scam millions.
01:57Then these boyfriends?
01:58I'm taking every single one of them.
02:04Following the comments, I got a job at the coffee shop where Ryan was.
02:10This was where he'd arranged to meet Mia.
02:12He'd already been waiting for three hours.
02:14I accidentally spilled coffee all over him.
02:18Ryan glared up at me, furious.
02:20But the moment he saw my face, he froze.
02:25Babe, you're finally here.
02:27I think you've got the wrong person.
02:30Babe, it's me. Ryan.
02:33Sorry, but I really don't know you.
02:35He froze, his expression turning ugly as the realization seemed to dawn on him.
02:39Just then, my phone rang.
02:43Ryan reached out to wipe away my tears, but his hand froze mid-air.
02:46Do you have a car? Can you drive me to the hospital?
02:54What's going on? Is there anything I can do?
02:57I can't ask for any more help.
02:59We're strangers. You driving me is already a huge favor.
03:01It's fine. I like helping people.
03:06My mom has leukemia, and the hospital bills are insane.
03:09If I can't make a payment today, they're going to kick her out.
03:12Is that so?
03:13Mia had copied my backstory word for word.
03:16Dead father, terminally ill mother, and a poor girl, me.
03:20Same face, same story.
03:22There's no way Ryan wouldn't put two and two together.
03:25Don't worry. I'll pay for it.
03:28No, I can't let you do that.
03:31Ryan didn't say a word.
03:33He just stepped on the gas.
03:38The staff looked at the screen.
03:41One million dollars?
03:42That should cover treatment for quite a while.
03:44Spare no expense.
03:45Get her into a VIP suite.
03:54Here's an IUE. You have to take it.
03:56That's not necessary.
03:57You must.
03:58We just met, and you've already done so much for me.
04:00I have to pay you back.
04:03You really don't know who I am?
04:04I just shook my head, putting on my most innocent expression.
04:07I guess so.
04:08You're completely different from her.
04:11The comments popped up again.
04:13What is Zoe doing?
04:14Don't tell me she's into Ryan now.
04:16Ryan's not answering Mia's messages.
04:17She's freaking out.
04:18Of course I'm going after Ryan.
04:20Mia was never shy about spending his money.
04:22She'd often ask for things outright.
04:24He probably didn't think much of it before,
04:26but with Mia as a contrast,
04:29Mia must seem downright greedy.
04:31Ryan drove me back to the coffee shop.
04:33Before I left, he stopped me, pulling out a photo on his phone.
04:36This is you, right?
04:38When was this taken?
04:41Why do you have a picture of me?
04:44Wait.
04:45Are you?
04:52What is it?
04:53You know something?
04:55My roommate Mia took this yesterday.
04:58For some reason, she has this weird thing about taking my picture.
05:01Even though all three of them were using my face to catfick people,
05:04each had her own method.
05:05Mia was always clumsy about it,
05:07using lame excuses to sneak photos of me.
05:10Emily stole pictures straight from my social media.
05:13But Chloe?
05:14She was on another level.
05:15She used AI to create fake photos and videos.
05:18She could even video chat with her boyfriends.
05:20Ryan's grip tightened on his phone.
05:22So, Mia.
05:23Got it.
05:24I blinked at him.
05:25What's wrong?
05:26Do you know her?
05:27Was she the one who sent you my picture?
05:29It's a long story.
05:30Look, it's not safe for you in the dorms.
05:31You should stay at my place.
05:31I recoiled, feigning shock.
05:33Why would you say that?
05:33We just met.
05:36You're right.
05:36I'm getting ahead of myself.
05:37But please, listen to me.
05:39Stay away from Mia.
05:39And whatever you do,
05:40don't let her take any more pictures of you, okay?
05:42I gave him a skeptical look.
05:43Alright, I will.
05:44Thanks again for today.
05:45Bye.
05:48Find out the name on the account I've been wiring money to.
05:55Mia shrieked suddenly.
05:56What?
05:57Ryan is breaking up with me?!
05:59He wants every penny he ever spent on me back.
06:01Every.
06:02Single.
06:02Penny.
06:03Or I'll be hearing from his lawyer!
06:04How could this happen?
06:06Mia finally snapped.
06:08This is all your fault!
06:09I wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't pushed me into this whole catfishing scheme!
06:12I'm broke!
06:13I already spent it all!
06:15Chloe forced himself to stay calm.
06:17Okay, just calm down.
06:18We can figure this out.
06:19Mia wasn't listening.
06:21Easy for you to say!
06:22You're not the one who just got dumped!
06:25I have your boyfriend's names and numbers.
06:28So either you give me the money to pay Ryan back, or I'm taking everyone down with me!
06:36Standing outside the door, I had to stop myself from laughing out loud.
06:41This was just the beginning.
06:44Their downfall had only just started.
06:53The room was eerily quiet when I walked in.
06:57Mia glared at me, a mix of hatred and fear in her eyes.
07:01But Chloe quickly put on her usual friendly mask.
07:06Zoe, my aunt told me your mom's hospital bill was taken care of?
07:10I nodded.
07:11So, did you go see Mr. Lawson?
07:13He's a generous guy, isn't he?
07:15Mr. Lawson was the sugar daddy she'd tried to set me up with.
07:18I shook my head.
07:20No.
07:21A friend lent me the money to cover it.
07:22Chloe obviously didn't believe me.
07:24That much money?
07:25Who would just lend that to you?
07:27Besides, you have to pay it back.
07:29You'd be better off with Mr. El-
07:31I cut her off.
07:32Speaking of money, Chloe, your boyfriend gave you a lot, right?
07:35Why don't you lend me a little?
07:38Well, it wasn't that much.
07:40And it's mostly gone now.
07:45She practically fled back into her room.
07:50Emily let out a long sigh of relief.
07:52Thank God.
07:54Justin has never asked to meet me.
07:57No.
07:57You're celebrating far too soon.
08:06The campus was buzzing with preparations for homecoming, and I had signed up to volunteer.
08:11Chloe gave me a curious look.
08:13No work today?
08:15Took the day off, I said.
08:17A friend asked for my help with something.
08:24Today.
08:25If Zoe shows up, won't her cover be blown?
08:29Too bad for them.
08:30No matter how much the comments panicked, Chloe and Emily were completely in the duck.
08:34Normally, I was too busy working to even think about events like this.
08:37But since the comments mentioned Justin was coming, I signed up.
08:40A celebrity like him was bound to be in the VIP lounge, so I staked out a spot nearby.
08:47Just as I started to lose my patience, someone came up from behind.
08:55He let out a soft laugh.
08:57Babe.
08:59Surprise.
09:07I quickly stepped back to see who it was.
09:10It was Justin.
09:11And damn, he was just as handsome in person.
09:14Whoa.
09:15Sorry.
09:15Didn't mean to scare you.
09:17Babe, it's me.
09:17Justin.
09:19He reached out to hug me.
09:21I shoved him back.
09:23Get away from me.
09:24I don't know you.
09:25Touch me again and I'm calling the cops.
09:29But this is you.
09:30Babe, are you messing with me?
09:32That's when Justin finally realized I wasn't joking.
09:35He lunged forward and grabbed my phone.
09:37I frowned.
09:39What is it with random guys lately claiming I'm their girlfriend?
09:45Justin dialed a number.
09:47You're on campus, right?
09:48I came all the way back just to see you.
09:50I even brought you a gift.
09:53As expected, the person on the other end shut him down.
09:57His expression soured.
10:00My bad.
10:01I guess I had the wrong person.
10:02You're a volunteer, right?
10:03Can you take me to the VIP lounge, please?
10:09He followed me down the hall, grilling me like an FBI agent.
10:12Finally, he couldn't resist any longer.
10:15So Zoe, you're saying this isn't the first time someone has used your pictures pretending to be your boyfriend?
10:20Yep.
10:22Just the other day, some guy came up to me out of nowhere and called me Babe.
10:25It totally freaked me out.
10:29So, it sounds like someone stole your photos.
10:31I nodded.
10:32Exactly.
10:33You were catfished.
10:34You should report it.
10:38Justin just shrugged, completely unbothered.
10:41Can you blame me?
10:42You're gorgeous.
10:44The moment I saw your picture, I was hooked.
10:47And you know what?
10:48You look even better in person.
10:51I looked down, pretending to be shy while secretly rolling my eyes.
10:56God, this guy was laying it on thick.
10:59At the end of the hall, Chloe and Emily were coming toward us.
11:02Zoe!
11:04And who is this?
11:08I made a quick introduction.
11:12The moment Emily heard his name, her whole body jilt.
11:16Emily, what's wrong?
11:17You know him?
11:19No!
11:20I don't!
11:22Chloe discreetly tightened her grip on Emily's sleeve, stepping in smoothly.
11:27We're huge fans of your music.
11:29It would be amazing to hear you live sometime.
11:31The comments got lively again.
11:34Wait, is Justin checking out Chloe?
11:36Totally love at first sight.
11:37I ship it.
11:39Are you done here?
11:40If so, let's go to the lounge.
11:42I glanced at Emily's averted eyes.
11:45Well, I'll take him over then.
11:50Am I that scary?
11:51Your roommate looked terrified of me.
11:53I played dumb.
11:55Not at all.
11:55Maybe she just has something on her mind.
11:57Emily's intruded, but she's brilliant.
11:59Gets the merit scholarship every year.
12:01I added with a smile, and she's been on a roll lately.
12:04With school and her love life, she and her online boyfriend are getting pretty serious.
12:09Justin gave me a long, searching look, then went inside.
12:14Seeing them there was no surprise at all.
12:21Her face was a mask of panic.
12:25Did Justin say anything weird to you?
12:29What counts as weird?
12:31Chloe jumped in to cover for her.
12:34Emily's a huge fan.
12:35She's just being a curious fangirl, that's all.
12:38Oh, really?
12:39A fangirl?
12:40Emily's voice was desperate.
12:41Yes!
12:42I need to know everything that happened in there!
12:45Fine.
12:45He thought I was his girlfriend, realized his mistake, and that was pretty much it.
12:50Chloe let out a hollow laugh.
12:52Lots of people have doppelgongers, it's no big deal.
12:56Just then, I got a notification for all volunteers to gather.
13:00I turned and left.
13:02Emily is freaking out.
13:03It's all Zoe's fault.
13:05Justin wouldn't be suspicious if it weren't for her.
13:07And Chloe's still trying to hold everything together.
13:09Poor thing!
13:10What kind of idiots are watching this show?
13:20When I got back to the dorm, Emily was sobbing uncontrollably.
13:24What happened?
13:25The administration just told her they're revoking her scholarship!
13:31Why?
13:32They didn't say.
13:33Just that it was revoked.
13:37The rumors are already flying.
13:39People are saying I must be some guy's sugar baby and someone reported me!
13:44A small smile touched my lips.
13:46Then why not ask your boyfriend for help?
13:48Isn't he rich and handsome?
13:49All he has to do is show his face on campus once, and all these rumors will be put to
13:53rest.
13:54That's true.
13:55Maybe I should.
13:56Emily's crying slowed.
13:57A flicker of hope in her eyes.
13:59Zoe, you've had a long day.
14:00Go take a shower and relax.
14:02Chloe quickly pulled me aside.
14:04Are you insane?
14:05If Justin finds out it's you, he'll trace it back to Zoe in a second.
14:08The whole thing will be exposed!
14:09Chloe's voice was a harsh whisper.
14:12This is all Zoe's fault!
14:13If she had never met him, I could have kept him in the dark!
14:16The nerve.
14:17Blaming me for her own mess.
14:20Just then, Ryan texted me.
14:26Went to see your mom at the hospital today.
14:28She asked about us, so I told her I'm your boyfriend.
14:33I nearly dropped my phone.
14:35Then came the confession.
14:36That online relationship I mentioned?
14:38It was your roommate, using your photos.
14:40And I'll admit, I had my own reasons for helping your mom.
14:42So Zoe, be my girlfriend.
14:44Whatever I gave the impostate, I'll give you ten times more.
14:47A hundred times more.
14:48A transfer notification popped up.
14:51Five hundred thousand dollars.
14:53Note.
14:54Gift for Zoe.
14:54Honestly, I was dying to accept it.
14:57But I had to stick to my persona, the strong, independent type.
14:59So with a heavy heart, I sent the money back.
15:02Five hundred thousand.
15:03One million.
15:04Two million.
15:05Yes!
15:08Ryan, you sure know how to play the game.
15:10Time to reward myself with a cake.
15:19It was Justin.
15:20He held the necklace up to my throat.
15:22Just as I thought.
15:23Perfect on you.
15:24This is a thank you for showing me the way.
15:27I immediately shook my head.
15:29I can't accept that.
15:31I was just doing my job as a volunteer.
15:35I went all over town for this.
15:36You're not going to break my heart by saying no, are you?
15:40I tried to take it off, but he caught my wrist.
15:44Don't.
15:45Or I'll have to kiss you.
15:46I put on a blush.
15:48Faking it, of course.
15:49You're impossible.
15:51Justin looked smug.
15:53When you like a girl, you have to be relentless.
15:55We've only met twice.
15:56This isn't love.
15:57It's lust at first sight.
16:01Fair enough.
16:02You like cake?
16:03Come on.
16:03I know the best spot in town.
16:05This guy was a real handful.
16:14Lately, I couldn't be happier.
16:16Ryan was incredibly generous with his money.
16:19Justin was blowing off his gigs to stick to my side on campus.
16:22As for my roommates, they were miserable.
16:25Especially Emily.
16:28Justin had already blocked her.
16:30That wasn't dating.
16:32Charity.
16:33That was charity.
16:36Emily, who was already sensitive, was a complete wreck now that the rumors were flying.
16:41So, Zoe, what's with you and Justin?
16:46He fell for me at first sight.
16:49That fast?
16:51I guess he just has a thing for my looks.
16:53Speaking of which, who is this boyfriend of yours?
16:55We should all go on a double date sometime.
17:08Chloe didn't say a word, of course.
17:10Not that it mattered.
17:11I'd already learned the truth from the comments.
17:14A month ago, I had already secured a summer internship at Nicholas' company.
17:23Today was my first day.
17:29But when his eyes swept over me, there wasn't a flicker of recognition.
17:33So the comments were right.
17:34He really was the final boss.
17:36The first two were hooked the moment they saw me.
17:38Why was he so immune?
17:44So that's why.
17:52So that's why.
17:53Nicholas already knows the girl in the photos isn't Chloe.
17:56Chloe came clean a few days ago, telling him it was all a stupid bet she made with Zoe.
18:02I just need to know.
18:03Do you like me?
18:04Or just the girl in the photos?
18:07You.
18:07Nicholas rubbed his forehead.
18:10I almost smashed my phone.
18:12No wonder.
18:13That little snake played me.
18:16So what if she did?
18:17All I needed was more time with him.
18:19Sooner or later, he'd fall for my charm.
18:21And then I could drop the truth bomb.
18:23After that, I threw everything I had at him.
18:25The coffee run.
18:25The file delivery.
18:27The accidental bump in the hallway.
18:29The coincidental solo elevator ride.
18:31I even tried the oldest trick in the book.
18:35But nothing fazzed him.
18:36The man was a block of ice.
18:41It was so frustrating!
18:42I even started breaking out!
18:50Is Nicholas really into Chloe for who she is?
18:54No way in hell.
18:56I will not let Chloe use me as a stepping stone.
18:59I'm taking him from her.
19:02I was stressing over my complete lack of progress when the secretary called my name.
19:06Zoe, someone's here to see you.
19:09I was puzzled.
19:10Who on earth would be looking for me here?
19:14So, you really are the intern here.
19:16There was a flash of triumph in her eyes.
19:18It hit me instantly.
19:20She was here to rub it in.
19:22Take me to Nicholas?
19:26She said it as if she was my boss.
19:29Unwilling.
19:30But I still took her.
19:32She wore a smug look on her face the entire walk there.
19:36Chloe opened her arms, moving in for a hug.
19:39Before the door swung shut, all I saw was Nicholas's blank expression.
19:49Damn it!
19:50Of all the times for the comment section to go dead, it had to be now.
19:54I was still stewing in my frustration when the office door opened.
19:58About that celebration dinner tonight, Nicholas said I should come along.
20:05The whole group headed for the hotel.
20:07I planted myself in a corner, in no mood for small talk.
20:11But of course, Chloe had to come over, drink in hand, and sit right next to me.
20:16Just so you know, Zoe, I'm your boss's girlfriend.
20:19So if you ever need anything, feel free to ask.
20:22I can put in a good word for you with Nicholas.
20:25Humor me.
20:27She offered the glass to me.
20:29Did Chloe spike the drink?
20:33I took the glass and downed it.
20:41I made an excuse about the bathroom and slipped away from Chloe.
20:46Soon after, I knew something was wrong.
20:49My head was spinning.
20:50My legs felt like jelly.
20:53My whole body was on fire.
20:57That bitch.
20:58But this was my chance.
21:00I knew from my internship that Nicholas kept a permanent suite at this hotel.
21:05Excuse me.
21:06Let me pass. I need to get upstairs.
21:08Where do you think you're going?
21:10Come to our room.
21:11We'll make sure you have a real good time.
21:15Just as their hands reached for me, a sudden kick sent them sprawling.
21:23Get out.
21:24And don't ever show your faces again.
21:28The guards scrambled to their feet and fled.
21:30I couldn't hold myself up anymore, my knees giving out.
21:34Nicholas' arms shot out, steadying me.
21:36Who drugged you?
21:38I gripped his sleeve, my breath coming in ragged gasps.
21:41Just take me somewhere safe.
21:46I buried my face in the hollow of his shoulder.
21:49He smelled so good.
21:50Oh God, my mind's a total blur.
21:53I'll call a doctor.
21:54No!
21:55It's too humiliating.
21:56Please, don't call anyone.
21:58Then what do you want?
22:00You.
22:03Zoe.
22:04Do you have any idea what you're saying?
22:06I was in too much misery to think straight.
22:08I just know that I want you.
22:10Right now.
22:14A single thought drifted through the haze of my mind.
22:17Chloe, thank you for this generous gift.
22:26I woke up to every inch of my body aching.
22:30The moment I remembered what happened last night, my courage evaporated.
22:36Back at the dorm, the very first thing I did was write my resignation email.
22:40It was mortifying.
22:41I had to get out of there.
22:43But then again, it wasn't a total loss.
22:45I'd slept with the one man Chloe desperately wanted.
22:48By any metric, that was a win for me.
22:52So, how were those guards?
22:55I leaned back in my chair, giving her a cold look.
22:58Why did you drug me?
23:03Because Ryan and Justin couldn't keep their eyes off you!
23:05I don't know how you found out we were catfishing them with your photos,
23:08but Nicholas is mine!
23:09Don't even think about it!
23:14Let's see if you're still this tough for the cops.
23:22Who was Chloe?
23:23The classroom went dead silent.
23:25Every head turned towards her.
23:29I'd never felt better.
23:31Did Zoe actually get Chloe arrested?
23:33So vicious!
23:35Me vicious?
23:36Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Chloe the one who set me up to be gang raped?
23:38And Nicholas didn't stop there.
23:40He's suing Chloe for fraud.
23:41She's definitely going to prison.
23:44So Nicholas had piled on.
23:46Brutal.
23:47I like it.
23:48With Chloe gone, the other two were scared witless.
23:51Good.
23:52It was about time they learned to be afraid.
23:55After that, Nicholas kept trying to contact me, but I ignored his calls and texts.
24:00Ryan and Justin weren't letting up either.
24:02Between the three of them, the constant messages were giving me a headache.
24:05Fine.
24:06Time to pick a lucky winner.
24:10Wait a minute.
24:11What are all three Chine of them doing here?
24:19And then it hit me.
24:21Oh, right.
24:22They're cousins.
24:24I hadn't promised to be anyone's girlfriend.
24:26What was there to feel guilty about?
24:27See?
24:28She's here for me.
24:29Guess that makes me the favorite.
24:31Babe, care to explain?
24:33If your mother hadn't mentioned it, I'd never have known Justin arranged her doctor.
24:35So my girlfriend has other boyfriends now.
24:37Is that it?
24:38Who's your girlfriend?
24:38I'm not with any of you.
24:44What's all the drama about?
24:46I'm her actual boyfriend.
24:48Says who?
24:48Who?
24:52He stated calmly.
24:54First, she pursued me.
24:57And second, I've already had her.
25:07I need those comments.
25:08Stat.
25:09In the original story, how did Chloe manage to placate all three of them at once?
25:13So...
25:14Well, I'm.
25:15So, please.
25:15How did you do this?
25:16My、 my mom says, how was rápido?
25:17I'm going to talk one last week.
25:17The rigorous fight's going to happen.
25:17How you were born so offering a bachelor's bourgeoisie andư?
25:17Could you play and be surprised?
25:17You
