He suppressed his discontent and muttered softly, “I treated you as my wife, and you actually want to be my sister?”
Summer chuckled. “Aren't you the one who proposed that?”
Nico was confused.
Did I say that?
Why don't I remember anything?
Summer quickly interrupted his thought and pushed him toward the door. “Oh, come on! Let's not dwell on this small matter. Don't you realize what time it is? Aren't you supposed to go to the laboratory today to clean the toilets?”
It was only then that Nico snapped back to his senses and promptly checked the time.
He was almost late!
“Alright, I'll head out now. I'll skip breakfast. Get Logan to send you to work later.”
“Save the trouble. I can drive.”
Nico and Charles arrived at the laboratory almost at the same time.
Since it was an open-air parking lot, they parked their cars in the opposite direction. However, they met each other at the entrance of the laboratory.
Charles took several glances at Nico before recognizing him.
After briefly sizing Nico up, Charles silently gave him a thumbs-up. “Impressive, you're even doing makeup now. It seems like you take cross-dressing very seriously, even if you're only here to clean the toilets.”
Nico remained silent.
Nico was filled with grievances but had nowhere to vent. Snorting arrogantly, he took the lead in entering the laboratory.
He never wanted to take cross-dressing seriously.
If possible, he would rather do nothing all day. He hoped Zendaya and Benedict would lose all interest in cross-dressing him and focus on Charles instead.
Unfortunately, Cedrick made him dress up because of his own desire to win over his rival in love.
This is too much!
Charles watched as Nico walked with an oddly masculine stride in his super-short skirt and dark face. He couldn't help but chuckle and followed Nico into the laboratory.
Since it was still early, Benedict wasn't sent to the kindergarten for his intravenous drip yet.
Following the schedule they had fixed yesterday, the two started to clean the toilets.
With the experience from the previous day, they worked much faster today.
By the time Benedict arrived at the laboratory for his intravenous drip, they had already cleaned two toilets.
Since it was a holiday today, Zendaya didn't have to go to kindergarten. She came along to keep her brother company on his intravenous drip. She also wanted to check on Charles and Nico.
“Wow!”
Zendaya's exaggerated exclamation echoed across the building.
Nico felt his legs went weak. “Keep it down, Zendy. Save me some pride.”
Excited, Zendaya approached him and hugged his leg. “Uncle Nico, you look as beautiful as a fairy today!”
A wry smile tugged at the corners of Nico's mouth. “Fairies are supposed to be delicate. Have you ever seen a fairy who is as tall and big as I am?”
“Hehe...”
Zendaya took out her phone and eagerly started a photo session.
“Uncle Nico, lift your hands!”
“That's right. Lift your legs too. Stick out your booty too. It'll look better!”
Nico was speechless. Every time he was being photographed, he wished he could just die on the spot.
After almost half an hour, Zendaya was finally leaving.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Nico said, “Go find your Uncle Charles. Take more photos of him and make sure he strikes more alluring poses. He has to be better than me!”
“Okay!”
Zendaya happily skipped away and headed on her way to torment Charles.
Soon, noon arrived.
Nico was scrolling his phone during lunch break when he unexpectedly discovered that Zendaya had once again uploaded Charles and his cross-dressing photos. Not only that, the photos went viral due to the consecutive updates, and he ended up on the trending topic.
His maid outfit with makeup garnered more attention than Charles'.
Many people on the internet were calling him a fairy.
Nico covered his face. He never expected he would become a trending topic because of cross-dressing.
The competitiveness he had developed from the military training days had vanished instantly. He only felt like slacking off now.
