Over the next two days, every one of Charlotte’s scheduled surgeries was inexplicably reassigned. Then, without warning, she was transferred out of her department and assigned to the ER.

Clutching the transfer notice, Charlotte marched straight to Director Fontaine’s

office and knocked on the door.

When she heard his reply, she entered and got right to the point. “Director Fontaine, what’s the meaning of this unauthorized position change? Last I checked, I don’t report directly to you.”

Director Fontaine paused in his work, barely glancing up at her, a smirk curling at the corner of his mouth. “The ER’s short–staffed, and you’ve had a light schedule lately. I moved you to help out–do you have a problem with that?”

Charlotte opened her mouth to argue, but just then a nurse burst through the door. “Director, it’s bad–Dr. Sinclair collapsed in the OR. The patient’s in critical
