Wilson just sat down at House's desk and began to study Dr. Cameron's folder, when she came in. He heard the door open and looked up, his eyes meeting hers. He was instantly taken aback by her beauty. It was like nothing he had ever seen before. If he had to chose one word to describe her beauty it would be incomparable. Wilson could not turn her away now. He had to hire her. Not for himself, but for House. Maybe she can chizel away at his icy heart. Hopefully, she has backbone to put him in his place.
"Dr. House?" Cameron made her way towards the desk.
"N...No, I'm Dr. Wilson. I'm head of the Oncology Department here. Dr. House had an emergency and asked me to fill in."
Wilson got up to shake her hand and motioned for her to sit down. Cameron's eyes sunk into her eyelids.
"If you
don't mind me asking, you seem sad. Are you alright?"
"First
of all, that's none of your business. Second, of all I was expecting
to meet Dr. House, so yeah, I'm a little disappointed." Perfect.
"Sorry, for intruding...I was just a little concern..."
"No, no, I'm sorry. That was really rude of me. Great first impression huh? I just really wanted to meet Dr. House. I've studied some of his cases and he seems like he's a brilliant physician."
"That he is. He just lacks what you call "people skills". Other than that, he is the sun that melts the morning dew."
"So, I've heard." Cameron began to giggle. When she laughed, her lips drew back, exposing little glimpses of her white teeth. Wilson was captured by her irresistible smile. He had a hard time thinking of what to say next. He was so engrossed with her, that he had forgotten what she said. Then it hit him...
"Indeed it does. Anyway, let's get this over with. Hmmm..." Wilson glanced over the file as Cameron fidgeted in her chair.
"Well, I'm not going to lie to you. You have impeccable references. You're previous employers have nothing but wonderful things to say about you. And to top it off, you did an internship at the Mayo Clinic. I think you're more than qualified for this job. I just have to ask you one question."
"No problem. Go ahead."
"Are you willing to work with the likings of Dr. Gregory House?"
Gregory? Oh, that name. Why here? Why now? I wish you were here. I need to tell you something.
"Dr. Cameron?"
"Oh yeah, sorry about that. I just stared off for a minute. What was the question again?"
What's with people spacing out today, jeez. "I asked if you would be willing to work with the likings of Dr. Gregory House?"
"Dr. House doesn't scare me, and I'm more than willing to put up with him." She's going to be better than I thought.
" Well, let me be the first one to congratulate you. I think you will be a wonderful addition to House's team."Wilson lifted himself from the chair and reached over the desk to shake hands with a more than excited Cameron.
"Thank you so much for this opportunity."
"Your welcome. You start tomorrow morning at 8:30. It was nice meeting you."
"You too, Dr. Wilson. I hope I get to see you around."
"You will. Trust me. As long as there's a Dr. House at this hospital. I won't be far behind."
"Well, thank you again." Cameron turned her heels to head out the door, when she was stopped by Wilson's voice.
"Ummm...Dr. Cameron before you go, I hope this doesn't seem impolite, but would you like to join me for a drink tonight?"
"As a matter of fact, that would be great."
"Good. You know where Flannigan's Tavern is?"
"Is it the one right one Olive and Sunrise?"
"That's the one. Meet you there at 9?"
"Sounds like a plan. Bye, Dr. Wilson." With that, Cameron made her way out the door and left the hospital for the rest of the day until tomorrow morning, when she would be returning to start her new job.
