He sipped at his coffee as he waited for Delilah to tell them what she wanted to talk about. All sorts of horrible scenarios went through his head.

As Delilah Carter smiled at her employees, she wondered if they were aware of the looks on their faces. Both of them looked quite scared, but that wasn't necessary, for they were about to get promoted. "No need to worry," the Department Head said quietly. She knew that this kind of thing should probably take place in a office, but in almost a year of working at the Ministry, Delilah still hadn't managed to get her office organized. For the time being, she was doing most of her work at home, carrying it back and forth each day.
"I'm sure the two of you are aware that most of the Ministry's departments have Division Heads to help out the Head of the department." She paused, glancing at the faces of both Edward and Louisa to make sure they were following. "I've been thinking about this, and I would like to offer you both promotions." She smiled widely now. "You would be like an Assistant Head to me, helping out with your department." Delilah went on the explain some of the duties that would come with the job, as well as the pay raise that would come with the job.
