She's been worried ever since witnessing the obvious chemistry between Zende (Rome Flynn) and Sasha (Felisha Cooper) as they worked together, and now, Nicole (Reign Edwards) will make sure her friend doesn't get the chance to steal her man from her on The Bold and the Beautiful.

After the pair's successful photo shoot, Rick (Jacob Young) gave them the chance to work together and a conditional promise that they may both be hired as the new Forrester photographer and a model, respectively. However, this didn't sit well with Nicole; she has now gone to Rick behind their backs to make sure it doesn't happen.

"If she were modeling and working with Zende all the time, she may take an unfair advantage," Nicole says in a preview clip for the Friday, January 15 episode. "I know her, and she's not above it."

When Rick then expresses concern she's doing this though because she's afraid Sasha could tempt Zende away from her, Nicole will stand her ground.

"There's nothing wrong with protecting what's mine," she says.

And since Nicole is doing a huge favor and carrying a baby for he and Maya, Rick will feel compelled to do as she asks and make sure Sasha isn't given the chance to model.

"I don't think you modeling for us is going to work out after all," he says in the clip.

The Bold and the Beautiful airs Monday-Friday at 1:30 p.m. on CBS.
