She would have congratulated this good friend of hers if Paris didn’t do those nasty things. Now, she only wanted to slap this bitch across her face.
And that bastard… That bastard needed to be taught a serious lesson as well.
“What the fuck, 201?!” Cody suddenly thundered.
Thea was startled. Her head whipped around, and she saw her hands were on Cody’s crotch.
“Sorry! Mr. Cody… I mean Bradley… I’m so sorry… I was distracted.” Thea stuttered, “Do-Does it hurt? I really didn’t mean to… I’m sorry, Sir.”
Cody’s face was flushed in humiliation. Why was this woman so dumb?
“What can I do to make up for… Whoa! What’s that?!” Thea pointed at the mounted thing on Cody’s crotch and screamed.
****
“I don’t care!” Cody clenched his teeth, “Fire her! Now!”
“But I don’t think she made any mistakes during her work. We could get sued if we end the contract without a valid reason.” Zoey was confused, “What-what did she do, Sir? You look so angry and upset.”
Cody went blushed. He found it hard to tell this woman that the new nurse she hired yesterday almost gave him a dick massage, “I don’t care. If she’s gonna sue us, just give her the money and get it over with. I don’t want to see her face again!”
Zoey frowned and folded her arms across her chest, “Sir, I know you probably don’t like her, but if we break the contract, she would be the 201st nurse we fired. Your parents will get worried once it reaches their ears.”
“I’m gonna be stuck with that idiot forever?” Cody wanted to pull his hair off.
“Not forever,” Zoey coaxed gently, “It’s just one year. Besides, you can fire her when she genuinely made some mistakes.”
Cody didn’t say anything as he stared out of the window blankly. He tightly clenched his fists.
“Come on, sir,” Zoey sighed, “You know your parents will get worried and bring therapists again if you kick the girl out.”
Not therapists….
Those doe-eyed and um-hmm experts made him feel handicapped. Getting a mentor to coax him into accepting his “disability” was the last thing he ever needed.
“Fine!” Cody said, biting back some cruel words through his clenched teeth.
Thea was waiting nervously outside the door.
She was quite gleeful as Zoey told her that she wasn’t fired.
“What have you done to piss Mr. Bradley off to such a degree?” Zoey was confused, “I mean… He’s not the easiest person to get along with on this earth, but he seldom gets mad, Thea.”
Thea cleared her throat, “Nothing. Really. I guess he just hasn’t gotten used to my company.”
Zoey shrugged, “Anyway, you need to be really careful after this time. I can’t save you again if he freaks out.”
“I will be careful, Zoey.” Thea chirped happily. “Thank you so much.”
Zoey thought for a while, “You should go clean Mr. Bradley’s room now.”
“Now?” Thea’s jaw hung loose, “I’m not trying to be lazy, Zoey. But I don’t think Cody wants to see me inside his room.”
Zoey shook her head, “No, Thea. You got to see him sooner or later. Just go. Whatever the misunderstanding is, you need to see him and talk to him. You still have to work here for a whole year.”
What Zoey said actually made sense. Thea sighed deeply and went to grab the vacuum.
Cody was sitting before his desk and staring at the screen.
Thank god he was busy with his work. Thea let out a long breath and started to vacuum.
Cody was half humiliated, half pissed off. He couldn’t tell if this woman did that on purpose. But he felt molested. The feelings just lingered whenever Thea showed up around him. No, she definitely needed to pay for grabbing his crotch. Most women needed to go through a war to get it.
“Water,” Cody clenched his teeth as he ordered.
“Sure.” Thea put away the vacuum and ran downstairs to fill a glass of tap water and brought it up.
“Here, sir,” Thea was smiling as she handed the cup of water. Zoey said she should try to fix her relationship with this man, right?
Then she was gonna fix it.
Cody stared at the glass, frowning, “Where’s ice?”
“Ice!” Thea ran downstairs immediately and got some ice.
Cody took a sip from his ice water and winced, “Why is this so goddamn tasteless?”
“Well… It’s water,” Thea blinked, “What do you want to taste from it?”
“My previous nurses would at least have the sense to drop an effervescent Vitamin C into it before bringing it up to me,” Cody’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Of course, Your Highness,” Thea curtsied dramatically, “What flavor of Vitamin C do you want? Strawberry?”
Cody held her steadily with his cold gaze, “Whichever is on the top of the shelves.”
What a piece of work! Thea snatched the glass of water away and stomped out of the room.
“Don’t spit in it because I’ll make you drink first,” Cody’s voice called behind her back.
Thea resisted the urge to let out a string of curses.
When she brought the Vitamin water back, Cody was reading the news online. He looked like he was in a good mood.
“You know what, I suddenly realized that I’m not as dehydrated as I thought I was,” Cody suddenly felt extremely happy after finding his new power, “I have a sudden craving for Pepsi. Would you fetch me a bottle?”
“I didn’t spit in your glass, sir,” Thea pulled a face.
“Why would you spit in my glass, Thea?” Cody’s voice was cheerful, “You’re gonna drink the glass of good Vitamin water yourself, after all.”
Thea’s eyes fell on the glass of water in her hands nervously. Was this jinx a wizard?
She didn’t expect him to really ask her to drink the water she had brought.
She just spat in it before she brought it into this room.
This was awful!
“Why are you not drinking it, Thea?” Cody’s smile was cruel, “You couldn’t just have added something weird in it, could you?
“Sir, what did you say you craved, Pepsi?” Thea sprinted to the door, “I’m getting it for you right now.”
Cody glared and snapped his laptop close.
