Chapter 1 Rite Of Passage

“Irene Nagel? Were you bullied in school and called Bagel Girl?”Andy Fisker eyed her from where he sat in the nurse’s station before finally rising to his feet to shake her hand. He was well-over six foot, without the need to lie about his height on dating apps, and muscles that strained against his scrubs. He had a boyish smile on his face, taking away from how intimidating he was. But Irene was sure Andy rose to the occasion when particularly difficult patients needed to be handled.“No, they didn’t. Because its pronounced Nagel… like the company.”Andy nodded in understanding, unperturbed. “Well, I will be your guardian angel and fountain of knowledge from now on,” he introduced himself with his hands pressed over his chest. “Welcome to the hellhole. For the next couple of weeks, I will train you to survive alone, and occasionally send your treats when you cry.”Irene hoped and begged that he was joking. She was almost sure he was but hospitals with their glaring whites and rushed

Chapter 2 The Initiation

All it took was one phone call. Scratch that… multiple calls.Steve and Irene had been dating for over three years when she got the first call. At first, it sounded like a prank call: the heavy breathing with no one speaking on the other end. Only to be interrupted by the hanging up of the phone. When she dialed back, wondering if there was an emergency at the hospital, she found herself blocked.The second call played out the same way.But the third call changed everything. What she thought was a series of prank calls turned into an extremely angry man. She was alone in her apartment, tired after a day of work, and caught off guard. She had suspected it was a girl Steve was screwing on the side, but as it turned out, it was the side-piece’s husband.“Who the hell is this?” he demanded angrily. “And why does my wife keep calling you?”Irene felt a pang of irritation at his tone. She wanted to think it was a wrong number. “You called me! Who are you?” she pressed, unwilling to give in.

Chapter 3 Meeting Dr. Warren

She spoke to the doctor before she actually saw him. At the time, she only heard his irritating voice and had no idea about how gorgeous the man in question was. Had she seen him first, she might have brushed away his obnoxious attitude. Perhaps, she would have been too distracted by how good he looked to even fight him in the first place.“Andy keeps saying he is the best preceptor. Is that true?” Talia used her foot to roll her chair over to Irene as she absentmindedly went organized the charts.“He’s not failed at the job yet,” she assured. “I definitely know who to avoid.”Talia’s eyes snapped to hers. “Did he talk smack behind my back?” she questioned suspiciously.“No. He said you were cool. Why?”Talia relaxed immediately. “He has a nasty habit of spreading crazy stories about me and getting people to avoid me like the plague.”Amused, Irene perked her chin on her palm. “Like what?”“It’s different every time! Once he told a guy from admin to protect his crowned jewels from me

Chapter 4 Cocky Nerds

“Oh god, Sine, I am so sorry,” she apologized. She heard the other’s assurance as Irene stepped out and shut the door.She sat down at the table they ate lunch to wait, but it didn’t take Sine long. Her eyes were still red and she avoided Irene’s gaze.“You can go in now,” she said with her head lowered.“Are you okay?” Irene couldn’t help but ask. She was the new girl and Sine didn’t know her, but it was rude to pretend like everything was fine when Sine was clearly upset to the point of tears.“I’m fine,” she said as her eyes began watering once again. “I’m just sensitive… People say I need to learn how to take criticism,” she allowed a dark chuckle.“Did someone criticize you?”Sine looked at her pointedly. “It’s nothing.”“Well, it has to be something because you look upset over it.”Irene was persistent. It was a flaw.She waited for Sine to tell her off, but instead, she sighed and tabbed at the corner of her eyes with a tissue. “Dr. Warren can be an asshole.”The curse sounded

Chapter 5 Not Your Slave

She theorized that it was all an act.He spoke to the patient for several minutes before something happened. The glimmer of opportunity peaked through, delighting her. He gave her the opportunity to correct him. Most nurses would ignore it, but Irene was keen on the discussion because she had the best intentions for the patients.Of course.The devil on her shoulder cackled incessantly.“I’ll change your pain meds,” he said. “You can have one to two tablets every six hours if you need it. Just ask your nurse. Do you need something for the pain right now?”The patient nodded. Irene cleared her throat but Dr. Warren ignored her.“Miss…”“It’s Irene,” she said, her voice saccharine. ‘He forgot my name after all. Fucker.’He gave her ‘the look.’ “Irene. Will you get her something for the pain, please?” he asked coldly, dismissing her. It was a stark difference from the tone he used with his patient.Irene didn’t leave. “Dr. Warren, I don’t think your choice of pain medicine is a good idea

Chapter 6 Thriving Social Life

Irene didn’t see Dr. Warren for the rest of the week. Not that she had actively looked for him. It was an innocent observation. However, it was apparent Andy knew about their heated conversation in the hallway.He greeted her one morning with a devious, knowing grin. “I hear Dr. Warren and you did a mating dance in the hallway the other day.”She couldn’t hide the gasp of surprise. Kiki, who was eavesdropping as usual, threw a dirty look in her direction.“How did you hear about that?” she demanded, keeping her voice low in warning. She was certain Talia was the only person who had seen them. And she had promised to keep it to herself. Had she ratted Irene out?Andy’s answer was simple. “He told me.”“He? Who is ‘he’?”“The man in question, Dr. Warren, of course. Come on, Mon, its bright outside. Wake up!” He waved his hand in front of her face and she smacked it away in irritation.‘He spoke about me? Oh dear… That can’t be good.’“You talk to him?” she asked. She found it pathetic t

Chapter 7 Mistaken Blind Date

“Hey, Talia, do you know the guy?” she asked.“He is friends with Andy, apparently,” she replied as if that ended all scrutiny. “Andy must think he is cool, and I wouldn’t worry about him being a serial killer. You still have another week of orientation left and Andy would miss his work mule if you went missing.”That was oddly reassuring.She set up a secret emergency code with Talia in case the date was a bust and she needed to get out. She would text code black and then wait for Talia’s call to usher her away for some imaginary emergency.She didn’t know how it worked because her poor acting skills would give it away. She had never been on a blind date before and spent the entire night strategizing ways to get a read on the guy before she actually met him at the restaurant. If she got off-putting vibes from him, she would turn back and never attend the date. Years of nursing experience gave her the ability to read people and rate them on how dangerous or lecherous they were.The pr

Chapter 8 Match Made In Heaven

She was too honest, but he wasn’t surprised. He had suspected the same. “Well, it worked,” he started. “But can I ask why?”“Because you were being an arrogant jerk.”His face darkened and she could tell he wanted to argue but their server chose the moment to present them with their food. They sat back and waited while Dr. Warren scowled and blew the man off before he could ask if they needed anything more.The confusion on the server’s face diminished when Irene smiled sweetly at him.Once he was out of earshot, Dr. Warren leaned forward and whispered angrily, “Do I know you from somewhere? You had met me a minute earlier and you decided to jump to conclusions?”“I spoke to you over the phone the other day, actually,” she hissed. “You were just as much of an ass then as you are now. Also, you made my coworker cry after you humiliated her in front of her patient. Doesn’t feel good, does it?”Surprisingly, Dr. Warren didn’t respond. He leaned back and pinched the bridge of his nose, lo

Chapter 9 Hot When He Curses

She nodded.Out of nowhere, the image of her riding him while screaming Dr. Warren popped into her mind. Mortified, she ducked her head, hoping to hide her heated face.He frowned. “Are you okay?” he asked, worried.She cleared her throat and nodded. “I’m fine.”She chugged her drink down, finally starting to relax. The alcohol gave her the bravery to sneak look at him and admire his face. She tried to be sly but he wore the knowing smirk. She had a feeling he knew what she was up to.Brenden was still eating when she finished. She had nothing to do, so to keep herself busy, she nibbled on a piece of bread. He kept glancing at her the same way she did. But she was agitated by the silence and sighed.She had to initiate the conversation again.“How long has you been a doctor?”“I finished my residency two years ago. And my fellowship last year,” he informed her. Indeed, he looked younger than she expected.“And how long have you been a nurse?” he asked.“Five years.”“Where are you fro

Chapter 10 Set Up With Her Archenemy

Irene tried really hard not to think about Brenden Warren at work the next day. She should call him Dr. Warren according to her resolve to stay professional at work. They might have been technically dating… well, not technically, but she still needed to keep things professional.She hadn’t seen him. And he didn’t say he was working that day, so it didn’t come as a surprise. She could survive one day without her eye candy because that was all he was. Eye candy.Dr. Stone was covering the shift and she was nice to everyone except for Andy. It was funny considering what she had found out. Once Dr. Stone left, Irene went to the secretary on duty to comment on how nice she was, even though she knew Andy was sitting a few feet away, getting irked by every work.He deserved it.Andy’s joke, while it helped her amend things with Brenden, wasn’t appropriate.He showed up for work that morning looking eager for gossip. And if there was one thing Irene had learned about Andy in the week they had
