CHAPTER 732
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. This is from .
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.
He was forced to cross-dress and get caught up in the trend.
He was sick of it.
Feeling utterly discontented, he decisively dialed Cedrick’s number.
“What’s up?”
On the other end of the call, Cedrick’s voice remained as composed as ever.
Nico stayed silent.
He had prepared himself mentally to be scolded and even planned to give Cedrick a good piece of his mind.
However, his courage quickly wavered when he heard Cedrick’s seemingly casual but commanding voice.
Laughing awkwardly, he flattered Cedrick as usual. “Cedrick, did you see the trending topic?”
“Yes. You did a great job.”
That was it?
Was a half-hearted compliment all Cedrick could say?
Nico felt dissatisfied. “Cedrick, you’re enjoying the show, but I’m suffering. I’m a straight guy, but I’m not sure if I will still be one in a few days.”
Cedrick, who was typing on his keyboard, chuckled lightly. “You’re already married. Can you suddenly become gay?”
Nico was speechless. That wasn’t what he meant.
He tried to hint. “Cedrick, this cross-dressing thing started only because you wanted to beat Charles. Now that we’re seeing some results, shouldn’t I get some compensation as your poor pawn?”
As he spoke, his voice became weaker.
“How about Jenson Group giving you a bonus from the annual profit?”
“Amazing!” Nico instantly regained his confidence. “Well, Cedrick, you can get back to work! I’ll continue cleaning the toilets! I just love labor work!”
Cedrick was speechless.
Nico and Charles spent another whole day cleaning toilets.
Soon, afternoon arrived, and the two guys had become skilled in cleaning toilets. They finished their job an hour earlier than expected.
After receiving a phone call, Nico took the initiative to approach Charles.
“We got a task at the bureau tonight and need someone to be the mole. Up for the task?”
Charles calmly declined. “I can’t do it.”
“You have to! You lost the bet, so you’re my sidekick,” Nico pressed in a firm tone with a cigarette between his lips and a provocative gaze. With his outfit, he looked like a sassy lady.
Charles fell momentarily silent. “What do I need to do?”
“It’s simple. You’ll disguise yourself as a woman and go to a bar. I’ll be in contact with you remotely. You need to find a specific table and keep an eye on a suspect. He’s very cautious, and Federal Bureau of Investigation has tried to catch him three times, but they couldn’t get any evidence. I need you to take the risk and get close to him. Try to find some incriminating evidence on him before he becomes aware.”
Having been the former head of the Central Intelligence Agency, Charles understood the task after Nico’s brief explanation.
However, Nico kept sizing Charles up after he finished speaking.
Confused, Charles asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Your outfit doesn’t suit the bar, and your chest is too flat. It’s not sexy enough. We need to dress you up.”
Charles was really speechless.
He covered his chest and gave Nico a cold, fierce glare.
He could only comply with Nico’s orders because he lost the bet.
Night fell.
The bustling nightlife of the city came to life.
Nico removed his makeup and changed back into regular men’s clothing. Then, he took Charles out for shopping.
Assuming they were a couple, all the shop assistants along the way were staring at them.
Charles was wearing a mask and a hat. Hence, no one recognized him, although he was trending on the internet recently.
Half an hour later, Nico carefully selected an outfit and bought him a set of sexy clubbing attire.
The super short, gold-colored, sequin-studded mini skirt complemented Charles’ fair skin perfectly.
He looked like a different person now.
After making their choices, the shop assistant entered each item into the system and softly said, “Sir, your total comes to eighty-eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight bucks. Will you be paying with a credit card?”
Nico subconsciously touched his wallet in his pocket.
Realizing that he wasn’t buying clothes for Summer, he decisively frowned and turned to look at Charles, who was trying to walk in high heels. He waved at him. “Come over here and pay up.”
