~Matilda office room
“Matilda, Happy Birthday. Today is your birthday, might your wish can be granted this year. From me, thank you for always supporting me, Nightingale, and everyone here, also here some gift for you”, Chief give congratulation and gave her a new agenda notebook that looks like Nightingale usually used. “Thank you, Chief. This Notebook looks familiar like Miss Nightingale used”, said Matilda with her bright eyes, seeing a dark chocolate notebook with a detailed page frame that was waiting to be filled in.
“You’re welcome, Hope you like it”, said Chief. Matilda with her straight forward response and serious face “Thank you for your blessing, Chief. I will still continue to stand by your side and serve you in the future - As for today, I will conscientiously complete my work with your blessings in mind, as it has given me powerful motivation”.
Chief sighs and wants Matilda to take a rest on her birthday, “You should take a rest, Matilda, it’s your birthday, why not try to enjoy your day today? Or maybe you have a wish that I can grant?”. “I can’t, Chief, The work is still not done, it will slow down your work too, Chief”, Matilda resists Chief's request. “How about I allow you to work together with Nightingale today? Not only by looking at her nor following her around, but by hand as her assistant today?” Chief tries to get Matilda's attention, while feeling guilty about Nightingale. I’m sorry Nightingale, I will grant your wish too , thought Chief to herself, before notify Nightingale the situation. Matilda looks surprised with Chief's suggestion, “it’s really okay, Chief?”, she responded with enthusiasm. “Yeah… as long as you can enjoy your day today.” Chief responded a little awkwardly. “I will contact you again, after I arrange time with Nightingale”, Chie replies and walks away from Matilda.
Chief walks out from Matilda place and walks to Nightingale place.
~Nightingale office room
“Nightingale, sorry for the sudden visit. May I get your time today? I promise Matilda to let her work together with you today. Because today is her birthday, would you accept this sudden request”, Chief begged Nightingale. While Nightingale just can sigh, “Then I will wait for you to grant my wish as reward, Chief". Chief nodded, “I owe you, Thank you Nightingale” and hugged her as a reflection. “Chief…”, Nightingale responded shyly and her ear was a little red.
“I’ll inform her when you available”, Chief says it to Nightingale, but Nightingale seem have different thinking, “Chief, better I told to her personally, so both of me and her can handle and reducing your work schedule”. Chief looked at her and walked to give her another hug, “I the one should say “Thank You”, that you always help me and guide me to finishing a lot of work”. Nightingale stayed still with her red ear, “It’s my job to support you, Chief”.
~Matilda Office Room
“Knock Knock”, the sound of knocking doors can be heard. “Please come in”, Matilda responded. Nightingale walks into the Matilda Office Room. “Matilda, as Chief requested, today we can work together hand in hand. It’s not like we not work together, but as requested, let’s work together”, Nightingale smiles at her.
“It’s my pleasure, Miss Nightingale, to work together with you and learn for you, also being like you is one of my dreams”, Matilda said with bright eyes. Nightingale just can't give a sigh, “just don’t overwork yourself”. Not long after the door opens and can hear the voice “That quite lovely”, Langley's voice hears out.
Nightingale's mood gets worse when hear Langley voice, ”Why are you here? The work in the 9th agency is so little so you can walk around freely?”. Langley just smiles, “I plan to reduce work from your lovely Chief, with this Miss Matilda help and You helping hand, can reduce that Rookie to work more efficiently”. Still in bad mood, Nightingale responded with high tone, “If only her direct supervisor not dump every work to Chief, she won’t end up sleep in her desk every night” “That why I plan to trim unnecessary part in the workflow and assign the more tasks to other department. To reach that, I need both of you to make it happen, isn’t that great”, Langley smiling.

Langley called her staff. 9th agency staff walks out from the shadows, “You called, Ma’am? What can I do to assist you?" said the 9th agency staff. “Find one or more people that can help that Rookie to handle this kind of work, I will check if they are reliable to handle work here”. “Understood, Ma’am”, the 9th Agency staff responded, and back to the shadow”.
