Go to work and leave your clone at home

By now, Sophie 2 has the good mind to check the clock.

Sophie 2: "Ohmygod I'm late for work! Stacy's gonna butcher me!"

Sophie 1: "Relax! I'll cover for you, since I'm already dressed. You just call Stacy and tell her you'll be a little late today, and I'll drive to work. You can spend the day at home. Maybe clean the ol' house a little while I'm gone?"

Sophie 2: "Nice one. I believe I'll be sitting on my gorgeous haunches all day long watching TV."

Sophie 1: "Yea whatever."

You rush out the door and drive off. Meanwhile, Sophie 2 makes the phone call to her manager, Stacy.

Sophie 2: "Hiya Stacy! Just calling in ahead to tell you that I'll be a little late today. My alarm didn't go off."

Stacy: "Where the hell have you been Sophie?! I've tried calling you a dozen times."

Sophie 2: "Yea sorry I didn't have time to pick up the phone, I had to make a bit of a mad dash for the door."

Stacy: "And mad dash you should. We've got a dumptruck of new potential customers coming in. There's an industrial zone being built in Austin and they're sending over a bunch of representatives. We need you to introduce them to the proverbial corporate third base."

Sophie 2: "I wish you didn't call it 'corporate third base'."

Stacy: "Noted. Now get your company honeypot butt over here! The representatives are coming in 10 minutes."

Sophie 2: "I'm already on my way."

Stacy: "Wait a minute! Are you calling on a cellphone while driving?"

In a moment of brilliance Sophie 2 realizes that this would constitute as unsafe driving, and if the original Sophie got into a car accident, the insurance company could pin the blame for it on you and not pay you anything.

Sophie 2: "No, I'm standing in traffic lights actually."

Furthermore, since there's no engine sounds on the phone call, it's actually somewhat credible to claim that you're standing in traffic.

Stacy: "Nice. See you in a minute. And for fuck's sake, keep your cellphone plugged during the night, you're kind of essential to our functions!"

Stacy hangs up. Meanwhile, you're making great time towards your office, and swerve into your parking space only a few minutes after the phone call ends. You quickly scurry up to your office floor, high heels clacking. Stacy is camped out in front of your office door, menacingly. You pay this no mind - she always looks ready to **** a cunt.

Stacy: "Good, you made it in time."

You keep walking, open your door and start organizing your papers as you speak.

Sophie 1: "Remind me again what I was doing today, again?"

Stacy: "I just told you literally two minutes ago on the phone!"

Sophie 1: "I was listening, I totally was! Just uh, give me a rundown of the details."

Stacy: "Ugh. There's a new factory complex opening up in Houston, Texas, producing tractor parts to China, India and Nigeria. They're looking for a supplier of gears and cogwheels. Twenty representatives are coming in, eleven of them from the Houston complex and three from the retailers in each of the target countries. I need you to hold a presentation for them. They need to be swayed to pick us as suppliers."

Sophie 1: "I can do that. Don't you worry about a thing."

Stacy: "The meeting starts in 7 minutes."

Sophie 1: "Ah nevermind, fuck my life."

Stacy: "Just give 'em the basic bitch rundown of our processes and you'll do fine."

Sophie 1: "Alright but I should remind you that I woke up 20 minutes ago."

You adjust your necktie, hurry over to the presentation room to insert your PowerPoints into the laptop, and then run downstairs to meet the representatives, who have luckily only just arrived. You greet them and lead them to the presentation room.

Sophie 1: "Good morning, dear representatives from industry and retail alike. During the following hours I will aptly inform you not only why you should choose us as your supplier, but also why our competitors are incompetent hacks that you shouldn't give the time of day to."

The presentation takes all morning, and includes an extended tour of your production line. After all is said and done, you indeed manage to strike a deal with the representatives.

Now you simply have to get lunch. As you slink up to your office, exhausted, you open the door only to find another Sophie sitting at your desk.

Sophie 1: "What the-... what are you doing here, you were supposed to stay at home!"

Sophie 3: "No you were supposed to stay at home!"

Sophie 1: "...wait a minute. I need to call myself."

You dial your personal phone, which you left at home. Sophie 2 answers it, popsicle in mouth, wrapped in a blanket.

Sophie 2: "Yello?"

Sophie 1: "There's another clone of me here at work. Have you noticed any additional Sophies around?"

Sophie 2: "Nah. Oh, can you pick up more ice cream on your way back? We're fresh out."

Sophie 1: "You greedy-! Th-... oh, alright."

You hang up the phone. Looks like now there are three of you.
