The vast majority of small employees are often indifferent when there are high-level personnel changes in the unit.Until the day when things really happened, they would never have thought that the promotion of one of them might directly change the trajectory of their lives.

This is what happened to Mary.The first new policy introduced by Mr. Dresden after becoming the director of Dresden is about her. Of course, it is biased to say so. In fact, this new policy is aimed at all women in St. Mungo's Hospital staff.

Everyone thinks that the root of this policy is the Dresden dean's discrimination against witches, but the explanation he gave is that women can serve St. Mungo's service for far less time than men, heavy housework and childbirth. The children's tasks will also affect their work, so he has decided to drastically reduce the number of female employees, only retain a small number of ladies who come to see the doctor with special services, and many of the rest will be dismissed, and they are vacant More wizards will be recruited to fill the positions.

After the news came out, all the female employees of St. Mungo's, except Miss Dresden, quickly fell into the fear of losing their jobs, including Mary of course.Subsequent further news may have reassured some, but at the same time made her fear grow.

Since female employees are selectively dismissed, the selection criteria will soon become no secret. Female employees over the age of 35 who are married and have children meet St. Mungo's needs. There is no need to allocate too much time to take care of the family, and several unmarried female employees over the age of 40 will definitely be retained because they seem to be able to devote their entire lives to their work.

Therefore, an inexperienced young girl like Mary is almost the first choice for dismissal. When Charlie Dunn told Mary the news, he was very worried. He also said that according to Miss Dresden, the dismissal will be in the It will be carried out gradually in the next few years. In the first year, that is, this summer, the plan is to dismiss ten female employees.

The aforementioned reasons are all people's legends.In fact, in the final notice issued on July 7, no reason was given at all, but all female employees were notified that some of them would be dismissed. A report must be made to HR, and all remaining employees, including men, will not have their resignations approved without good reason.

"Mary, you have to think of a way." Charlie Dawn came to her that afternoon. "Several young ladies have asked someone to intercede with Mr. Dresden. Do you just want to sit and wait for death?"

"But, Charlie, you know," Mary smiled wryly, "I don't even have any relatives who are wizards."

"It may not be appropriate to tell you something now," he suddenly lowered his voice. "A few days ago, I got engaged to Miss Dresden..."

"That's great, Charlie," Mary said sincerely. It was a great thing for Charlie Dawn to marry the dean's daughter. His work in St. Mungo's would surely be smooth sailing.

"So I have asked Miss Dresden to intercede for you," he added, "After all, I have been your instructor before, and such a request is reasonable, but I told her that you asked me to do this." of."

"Thank you, Charlie." Mary understood that he was able to do this because he was taking care of her. She never forgot Buddell Knight's reminder. At this moment, it suddenly occurred to her that maybe it was Miss Dresden. I, want to force her out of her fiancé's sight.

So Mary looked at her former instructor seriously, "Charlie, you have helped me a lot, so don't mention me in front of Miss Dresden again, and don't worry about my business, I will figure it out myself."

What can Mary do?After Charlie Dawn left for a long time, she only thought of two people. One was Mrs. Hamilton. Although she had said those kind words, Mary felt that she and her were just an ordinary doctor-patient relationship. The temper of the old man may not be willing to find a favor.Instead, it was Baldur Knight, after all, she had worked so hard to take care of him for so long, or he really regarded her as a friend.

Mary had made an appointment with Sophie to go to Phipps Knight's wedding together.When such a bad thing happened, she actually didn't want to get involved in the happy atmosphere of the wedding at all, and Sophie didn't want to go either, but she had to go as a relative, and Victor was sent to France by his father to deal with some things, so it was She begged Mary to come and keep her company, and that the two of them could wait until the ceremony was over and make a quick exit.

Mary decided to find an opportunity on the wedding day to ask Buddle Knight for help in person-she always felt that such a thing was not polite to say in a letter, and he must be busy with the wedding.However, a day later, Charlie Dawn came over quietly and asked her if she had any ideas.

Mary told him what she thought. "I heard that Mr. Knight has a lot of background. If he can help, maybe he can really solve the problem," he continued to be serious, "However, Mary, what I want to remind you is that you must not wait until 8 After August 3, it is said that the list confirmed on August 8 will be announced."

Mary had to write the letter. She revised it several times, and thought she had explained the whole thing clearly within five lines, before sending the letter to Phoenicia.

It was still a working day, and the letter was sent out at noon. When she returned to the dormitory after get off work in the afternoon, she saw Phenicia waiting for her on the window sill with a letter in her mouth.

This is Baldr's reply letter. Mary hastily opened it, and there are only three lines in the letter:

Dear Mary:

After reading your letter, I realized that you are in such a big trouble. I think I must have a face-to-face meeting with you. When you receive this letter, I have already set off for London. I hope I will wait a while We'll meet you at the Grosvenor Street entrance to Hyde Park.

At the bottom is his scribbled signature, indicating that the time to write the letter was four o'clock in the afternoon that day. Mary looked at her watch, and it was already 05:30. Woolen cloth?

She washed her face as quickly as possible, changed out of her overalls, and simply tied her hair. Fortunately, Badr chose a place she was familiar with, so she could apparate into the nearest alley and then walk there.

When she arrived, he had also arrived, dressed exactly like a Muggle young gentleman, with a cloak in his hand, waiting under a tree not far away.

Mary walked over and seeing Baldr, she felt better at last, and was able to greet him in a relaxed and cheerful tone.

"Mr. Knight, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long," Mary said with a polite smile.

"I forgot that you still have to go to work, I'm so sorry," he gave her a very careful look, "Mary, are you really still working?"

Mary nodded with a wry smile, "I didn't see your letter until I got back to the dormitory. Otherwise, I would have left early. After all, maybe I can only work for two or three days in St. Mungo's."

"Tell me what's going on," he said in a commanding tone again, "I didn't know how bad it was when I saw you. You didn't lose much weight when you took care of me, but now you suddenly lose weight. It's too skinny."

They were at one of the main entrances of Hyde Park. Mary looked at the passing crowd and was worried that she would run into a colleague of St. Mungo's, so she tentatively asked him, "Shouldn't we take a walk?"

"Oh, yes," he said, as if he had just remembered, "find a place where there are no Muggles, and I'm going to put the cloak away."

The two started to walk into the park, and Mary told Bader from the beginning about Dresden Dean's New Deal.When it came to other young female employees asking someone to intercede with the dean, she hesitated for a while, but if she didn't tell him this, she didn't seem to have any other reason to bother him.

"Oh? Who told you?" Badr asked the question as expected.

Mary had no choice but to mention Charlie Dawn again, and by the way, it also stated that he was engaged to Miss Dresden.

She seemed to hear Badr snorted coldly, and when she looked at him again, he was still smiling, "Mary, although I don't hope it will be like this, in fact, the Dresden father and daughter I'm afraid this time is really going to make you leave St. Mungo's."

The look on Mary's face darkened, which might have happened soon enough, but Baldur Knight was indeed the first to say it in her presence.

She really wanted to ask him if he could help her, but she could write such a thing in the letter, but she couldn't say it in front of him. Although Badr almost never acted superior in front of her, she always felt that no matter what All kinds of requests have this meaning.

"Don't worry, Mary," he said again, "I have a solution."

Mary's heart relaxed, but Bader didn't continue talking. He finally reached a place where there was no one else around, immediately cast a space folding spell, and put the cloak into the pocket of his vest.

Mary stood on the side without saying a word, and Badr turned to look at her, and then smiled briskly, "Mary, the best solution I can think of is to marry you as my wife. , you don’t have to worry about work any more.”

Mary was completely dumbfounded. She thought she had heard wrong, but she didn't know how to deal with it. It seemed that the only thing she could do was wait for him to say another sentence that had nothing to do with it.

"Mary, don't be like this." Bader seemed to feel a little uneasy at last, he rubbed his hands, "I'm proposing to you, you should answer me."

Mary seemed to realize it now, "Mr. Knight..." She just murmured in a low voice, but couldn't say anything more.

"Oh, call me by my name," he stepped in, looking down at her, "Mary, I know this is a bit sudden to you, but I actually planned to wait until you gave me the scar removal treatment, and then Slowly tell you how much I love you, it should be easier for you to accept, but I have been thinking since I received your letter this afternoon, I must not put you in the old Dresden again. I don’t want you to be tortured by such things again, and if I marry you back home, I can also receive your treatment, which is probably much more comfortable than being in the hospital.”

"But, Mr. Knight..." When Mary was flustered, she couldn't change her words at once. She called him that, and as soon as she blurted it out, she was worried that he would be displeased.

"Well, Mary, go ahead," he laughed, "but the next time you see me, be sure to call me by my name."

Mary's mind was still in chaos. The only thing she was sure of was that Baldr Knight had just proposed, but why did he propose?Is it just to help her solve the big trouble of losing her job?

"Mr. Knight," her voice trembled, "how could you..."

She was about to express her doubts, but since he said "love" clearly, how could she question him again?
