A fic I wrote and posted on another site, made changes to, and am now posting here. Enjoy, and please review.
Prologue
House was in his office, searching through resumes and feeling really annoyed. He looked at the clock, which read five-thirty. This meant he had two hours before he could go home. He sighed and continued reading.
Three weeks ago Cuddy had called him to her office to say that due to recent funds and the increase in patients, he had to hire another person. He asked why she couldn't do it, and with an evil look, she said she had other matters to occupy her and any decision she makes he was going to be unhappy about so she might as well let him do it.
This annoyed House to no end. Didn't she think he had better things to do? Besides, how was he going to find someone? He was lucky to find three brilliant young doctors as it was, and the person had to be interesting and hopefully screwed up. House couldn't stand to see people around him less miserable than himself. That's why he hired an abandoned half-orphan, a widow, and a former car-thief. The last thing he needed was someone to come and simplify things.
He had just interviewed four people, and they were all either stupid or boring. He had one more person coming in, and he wasn't feeling very optimistic. Then again, he never was.
House was interrupted in his deep thought when he heard his door open, and he looked up. A woman in her mid to late 20s had walked in. She was well dressed and attractive, and she looked very put together and clean. She walked with confidence and pride, and her expression was serious and ambitious. She was golden haired with stunningly large green eyes and she was tall and trim.
"Are you doctor House?" her voice was low and sexy, with a trace of an accent.
"Can you read? My names on my door."
Without missing a beat she hands House her resume and replies, "I'm here for the job application."
House looks at the name at the top of the sheet, and mentally immediately knows she's got the job. He can tell she is just as interesting as the others.
"So," he says "why are you interested in working here, Dr. Chase?"
