Greg House was annoyed and worried. It was hot, his leg had decided to be especially painful, and he had pissed Cuddy off at the party he was forced to attend at the hospital last night.
"Yeah…" he said to himself, "today is going to suck ass".
House's game plan for the day was to hide out in one of the exam rooms and not get his ass chewed out by Cuddy. However luck felt like being a bitch today. Just as House ducked into an empty exam room, he heard the voice that was sure to make his life a living hell.
"Dr. House, my office now!" yelled Dr. Lisa Cuddy.
"Fine, but I don't want people to think I'm sleeping my way to the top!" House roared back.
House watched as Cuddy ignored him and stomped off towards her office.
"She is so demanding", House stage-whispered to the nurse staring openmouthed at him. House then followed the path to his boss's office, and what he thought was his inevitable doom.
"So, Dr. Cuddy was sup?" asked House.
"Oh I just figured out how you're going to repay me for getting drunk at the hospital benefit party last night", said a smiling Cuddy.
"Dr. Cuddy I really don't think I can be more useful in the clinic than I already am", said a silently pleading House.
"Oh I have something far better than clinic duty for you House"
"What", said House wearily.
"Dr. House I would like you to meet the newest member of your team, Dr. Selena Cameron-Loren", said the ever-smiling Cuddy.
House just stood rooted to the spot and speechless as he was introduced to an exotic looking girl of about twenty or so years of age.
Meanwhile Dr. James Wilson was rushing to Cuddy's office, to take care of some important last minute paperwork for an oncology seminar he was required to attend in four days. He stopped outside Cuddy's office when he noticed his best friend already in there, probably getting chewed out by Cuddy. As Wilson continued to watch, he saw Cuddy introduce House to the woman that would turn Wilson's world upside down.
