[HP] Mrs. Snape

Three weeks later, Alia showed up in the obstetric examination room of the hospital on time. Listening to the faint heartbeat of "thump, thump" coming from the instrument placed by the doctor's ear, Alia suddenly felt that she had been empty all along. The heart was filled, and she burst into tears at that moment.

Now that she has decided to have this child, she has to rearrange her life.Just like what Lin taught herself, once you have decided, take action and don't regret it!

In the company before, Alia has been working very hard for performance, and working overtime is common.But now everything is considered for the children, try to reduce the workload, go to work on time every day, leave work on time, and increase the food expenditure as much as possible. In order to save money, Alia can eat potatoes for a week, but now she can’t, she has to eat for the children .

Fortunately, her company was close to a vegetable transfer station that supplied supermarkets. Two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of brandy successfully allowed Arya to enter the transfer station with her work card, and then secretly picked out some substandard vegetables that could not be put on the supermarket shelves.Every week, Alia goes to the pier, where there are some fresh and cheap aquatic products. She can't afford steaks, but she needs meat, and she must have a balanced nutrition!

For staple foods such as bread, Aaliyah bought flour and tried to take the time to make it herself, which is healthy and saves money.

But even so, she is still living in poverty. It's not that her salary is not enough, it's just that the money she saves every month is not enough to cover her living expenses during childbirth and breastfeeding.

After careful consideration, Alia decided to sell the stocks and securities given to her by the big Joe while going back to school to go through school leaving procedures and receive a university diploma. Now that Joe's company is in the limelight, the price It will be fine if there are no accidents. According to Alia's estimate, there should be about [-] pounds. This money plus the large and small investments made under Lin's guidance when I was in school, and the salary I saved, There should be no problem coping until the child is about one year old.

After dealing with these things and returning to London, the first thing Arya did was to sell all the jewelry Joe gave her.

According to the financial knowledge taught by Lin, put all the sold cash into the financial market!

When Alia was young, Lin began to teach her some financial knowledge. When Alia was 15 years old, she began to let Alia invest money in the stock market. "Although stocks are unstable, money comes in quickly!" Lin said at the time In this way, she asked Alia, who was not familiar with finance at the time, to memorize some stocks, and then told her which ones should be held for a long time and which ones should be short-term...

So when she was in college, when other classmates were poor and even heavily in debt, Arya seemed to have become a little rich woman, but it was unknown.

As the weather got hotter, Arya's belly grew and even her loosest clothes couldn't cover it. Arya found that the company's backs were whispering to her more and more. More and more, at the beginning she didn't care about these gossips, people are like this, they always pay side attention to people or things that are different from themselves, this has been deeply experienced by Arya since she was a child, when she decided to have this child She was mentally prepared.

What's more, she is not alone and helpless in the company. Since joining the company, Alia has consciously developed a few friends, just like she did in boarding school. Her sweet appearance and elegant speech and behavior can always make her gain some people. A deep friendship, like that of Charles and Liz.

"Alia, Alia," as soon as Alia entered the company early in the morning, Liz, secretary to the general manager, held out a hand to Alia mysteriously holding a thick stack of documents, signaling her to come over quickly.

As soon as Aliya saw Liz's expression, she guessed that she might have got some news, and the news was closely related to herself.

The two avoided the crowd and quickly walked towards the stairwell. Seeing no one around, Liz wanted to close the safety door in the corridor, but Alia opened all the doors first, raised her eyebrows at Liz, and patted her high belly. Jokingly said: "He needs oxygen."

"He? Is it a boy?" Liz was indeed distracted, touched Arya's belly devoutly, and said in surprise.

"Yeah, the doctor told me during the prenatal checkup yesterday, isn't it great?" Lowering her head and slowly stroking her stomach, Alia's originally beautiful and eye-catching face glowed with a maternal soft light.

Liz couldn't help but smiled along with Aaliyah, but soon her expression became a little more serious. Thinking of the news she was going to tell Alia, she didn't know how to say it.

Arya saw that the news Liz brought might not be so good, she encouraged Liz with her eyes, and signaled her that it was okay and she could hold on.

Liz turned his head and peeked behind him. No one noticed here. He approached Alia and whispered, "The boss had a conversation with the HR department yesterday afternoon." He paused, trying to find a suitable wording, but this kind of No matter how euphemistic the wording of the news is, the despicableness of the facts is unavoidable, so I simply said directly: "I heard the general manager tell the HR department to find a way to get you to resign voluntarily. Employees, but they can't take the initiative, so they can only force you to resign, Ellie, you must be careful recently."

Alia's heart sank. Sure enough, the most worrying thing happened. Although the law stipulates that pregnant women cannot be dismissed, some small companies often try their best to make pregnant employees resign themselves in order to save money or reduce burdens. After thanking Liz for the news, Arya hid her figure in the dark of the stairway and stood quietly against the wall. The darkness helped her think.

Alia thought of Charles, who was an assistant in the personnel department, and decided to go and chat with Charles now, and by the way, decide on dinner in two days.

The boss may have made up her mind, but before finally deciding to release, Arya wants to fight to get the best result for herself.

Charles is a sensitive person. He likes to collect Barbie dolls. Among them, the blond and blue-eyed ones are the most popular among Charles. As soon as Aaliyah, who has blond hair and blue eyes and soft skin without pores, enters the company, Charles expresses his love to her. Great interest.

For friendship, Arya naturally would not refuse.

The dinner was great, especially the dessert, which both Aaliyah and Charles couldn't say enough about.

The two had a full exchange of opinions, and Charles told Aaliyah that his superior had hinted that he wanted to transfer Alia from the most profitable and highest-paid sales department, but now there are three vacancies in the company, one is the front desk , one is a warehouse some distance away from the company, where there is a lack of a warehouse manager, and the other is the finance department, where a tax officer is missing.

Among these three positions, the warehouse manager not only has a low salary but also has a poor office environment, which is the least worthy of consideration. The tax officer is the core department of the company. Although the salary is high, not only relevant qualifications are required, but since the last tax officer After changing jobs in January, many people are staring at this position; according to Charles, his supervisor most wants to arrange Alia to the front desk. Although the salary is not as high as it is now, at least the work is easier, answering the phone, Just send a file, and Alia is very beautiful, even if she is a pregnant woman, she is also a beautiful pregnant woman, it is enough to be the face of the company.

Hearing what Charles said, Alia breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Charles' superior, Mr. House, didn't want to kick him out of the house like the boss did. He also left some leeway for the pregnant self, or he would arrange for him directly Going to be a warehouse manager.Thank God, thank good Mr. House.

But Arya didn't want to be a vase. Since there are more vacancies worth looking forward to, why not the best one?

"What?" Charles was so surprised that he didn't even know that the soup in the spoon had dropped, and raised his voice as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him with his eyes wide open, "You want to join the finance department?"

"Oh, my dear, keep your voice low." Arya quickly smiled and apologized to the disturbed people in the seat next to her.

If it wasn't for Charles who was across the table, he would have almost thrown Arya on top of him. He threw away the spoon and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure? You know it's the Finance Department? They need certificates and degrees!"

"Oh, I know, dear Charles, of course I know what the Finance Department needs, but how do you know I don't? You know not all blondes don't like studying, and I happen to be pretty good at math. " Said and winked mischievously at Charles.

"Oh," Charles reacted, sitting up straight, pointing at Arya and letting out a knowing sigh, "cunning girl, but I like it. You know, I'm literally in love with you, baby. I like being ambitious girls, especially such pretty girls."

"Really, dear? Then your Robert will be so sad." Arya slowly biting a spoonful of cake, smiling charmingly at Charles, Robert is Charles' boyfriend.

Facing Aaliyah's smile, Charles held his chest and shouted mischievously: "God, what should I do, I feel that my heart has been taken away, oh, dear Robert, forgive me, what is left of my heart Half of it is still yours."

Arya clutched her stomach and Charles laughed.

"Oh, beautiful angel, for the sake of the baby in your belly, I can help you a little." Charles said slowly, holding his wine glass and shaking it slowly.

"Huh?" Alicia asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Mrs. House is also pregnant. Every other day as long as the weather is fine, she will go for a walk in Regent's Park. I wish you good luck, smart blonde girl." Charles winked and toasted Arya.

The two clinked glasses tacitly. Alia saw Sylvia's little follower in Charles - the shadow of the girl named Sally. She is a smart girl who is good at collecting all kinds of information. She not only provides information to Sylvia Via, as long as the reward is the same, she can provide it to anyone. Arya has bought news from Sally several times behind Sylvia's back to avoid Sylvia's revenge.

She doesn't know what Charles needs now, but since he can provide him with various information and small help without harming his own interests, then there must be something Charles likes in him, and all Arya can do is wait.

The weekend sun was particularly bright, even slightly hot, but Arya didn't care at all, and went out with only a sun hat. Sunshine is especially precious in the UK, isn't it?

Regent's Park is huge, but Aaliyah has no trouble finding the group of pregnant women where Mrs. House is.

Charles had shown her a picture of Mrs. House, who, like Aaliyah, was blond and freckled, with some new ones from pregnancy, sitting with a group of pregnant women, looking at The children playing in the distance let out hearty laughter from time to time, and it can be seen that they should be cheerful people.

Alia didn't rush over, she walked along the path in front of the group of pregnant women, walking leisurely with her waist supported on her feet, and when she passed in front of Mrs. House's group, she met a red-haired young woman. Come on, the corners of Arya's mouth raised, and she nodded affectionately to the group of pregnant women who had the same tall belly as her. The red-haired young woman looked at Arya's tall belly and smiled at Arya. Laughed, then turned to talk to the woman next to him.

Alia didn't stop, and continued to move forward, turning along the path to the shade of the tree, took out the tissue in the bag and wiped off the sweat, then looked at the children playing in the sand not far away, watching with great interest The children's childish little games, covering the corners of their mouths from time to time, let out bursts of melodious chuckles.

After staying in the park for a long time, she didn't go to see Mrs. House except after taking a long look just now, but when she was about to go home, she "coincidentally" met Mrs. Mrs. House was buying ice cream for the two children at the exit of the park.

Arya walked over, stood beside Mrs. House and her child, took out the money, and said, "I want a lemon ice cream."

"Oh, I saw you just now. Did you take a walk in the park too?" Arya's enthusiastic voice sounded in her ears. She raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Mrs. House in surprise, as if she was a little at a loss, and said : "Oh, yes, yes, may I ask you?"

"On the side of the sand pile just now, remember? How many of us are there? You even greeted Elizabeth." Mrs. House said happily.

"Oh," Alia suddenly realized, "yes, yes, I remembered, oh, so her name is Elizabeth, isn't her hair so beautiful? I couldn't help but take a few more glances, since I was a child I dreamed of having Pretty red hair, like Anne of Greenwall Mountain. Hope she doesn't mind."

"Of course not. She must be very happy to hear that Elizabeth has always been very proud of her red hair. How long have you been pregnant? We seem to be about the same." Mrs. House said, stroking her stomach.

"It's 25 weeks, and the doctor advised me to go out and walk more, which is good for the child."

"Oh, yes, this is the time to take more walks, so that you have strength. An hour a day is fine, preferably when the sun goes down, so it won't be too hot. Oh, I hope you don't mind, I just..." Mrs. House seemed to feel that she was meddling in her own business, and apologized quickly.

"Where is it?" Alia quickly waved her hand, "How could it be? I wish you could tell me more. You must know that I am pregnant for the first time, and I have no experience in many things. I am always worried that I will do it wrong. I don't know how grateful I am for your advice... Is this your daughter? She is such a beautiful girl..."

The two chatted very happily. When they broke up, they had already made an appointment to take a walk together at four o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow.

After being introduced by Mrs. House, Alia officially joined the pregnant women's group in the park. Everyone is pregnant, and the ones who talk the most are either the children in the belly or the children who have grown up. Leaving aside work matters, just talking with Arya felt that she had benefited a lot from the chatting between the Mrs. House.

The first pregnancy, for a little girl in her early twenties, no matter how sensible she was, she would still be at a loss. The morning sickness that usually lasts for several months, Alia only healed in a week, so she was very concerned about the child at first. The estimate is still very optimistic. As the child gets bigger and bigger, he will even move around in her stomach, which makes Arya very novel.

But besides the novelty, she was also a little scared. She was alone, and no one had ever told her what to do when she was pregnant, and what would happen in a few months. All the knowledge was learned by Alia in the past few months. Yes, once the child moved so much that her stomach hurt for a long time, she was so frightened that she sat on a chair and dared not move. She sat upright and looked at her stomach for an hour before she dared to move.

There were also a few days when the baby who had been active in her stomach suddenly stopped moving and was throbbing in pain. Aaliyah was so frightened that she cried alone in the small bedroom. She stayed until Monday and hurriedly asked for leave In the hospital, she was relieved after the doctor told her that everything was normal for her child.

Now with everyone's personal guidance-several pregnant women have given birth to several babies, Alia showed the energy she had studied in school, and even took a notebook with her to write down some key points.

Moreover, when these pregnant women knew that Alia was living alone, they all suggested that she pack her things in advance as much as possible, and it was best to go to the hospital in advance. Even if she stayed for a few days, she should not be alone at home. It was too dangerous. When she was planning to work until October and didn't consider taking maternity leave, she blamed her because Alia's expected date of delivery was around NO.15 in October. According to the original plan, it was enough to ask for leave two weeks in advance, but it was popularized by everyone. Premature birth, what is the expected date of delivery ahead of time, Alia was a little frightened, and the sense of professionalism that had surged up before also subsided a little.

After all, children are the most important thing, right?In the end, Alia decided to accept the company's transfer and work at the front desk. The finance department often has to travel outside, and overtime is even more common. She can force herself to continue working, but what if the child in her stomach refuses to agree?

The friendship with Mrs. House was not in vain. When she was invited by Mrs. House to have dinner with Elizabeth and his wife, Alia was "surprised" to find that Mr. House turned out to be a colleague of the same company!

And Mrs. House praised Aaliyah even more, so after the transfer, Alia found that her salary was still the original salary in the marketing department, not reduced at all. It is said that it was because Alia was still an employee of the marketing department , It's just a "temporary secondment" of the front desk.

I don’t know what Mr. House told the boss. After Alia worked at the front desk, Mr. House secretly told Alia not to worry about her salary during maternity leave. “Everything will be done in accordance with the relevant laws.” Mr. Si's original words.

At this moment, Alia breathed a sigh of relief. During the one-year maternity checkup, as long as she had an income, she didn't have to worry about starving herself and her child, but she was always short of money to raise the child by herself.
