60 Letter from hell (3)

"The ambulance arrived, I will now drop this call." The 999 Operator said.

"Thank you very much!" Josie said as she could hear footsteps on the stairs coming up.

The door was closed. When she opened it, she told the curious staff to head down and stay down. The waiter who directed the ambulance and the manager, all scratched their heads as they head down. The medical staff went inside the room with Josie.

"How long was she like this?" One of the emergency responders asked.

"I don't know. I came in roughly 10 minutes ago to bring in her lunch. I called 999, as soon as I saw her like this." Josie explained.

There was one man who check April and then another two with the gurney. They lifted her up and put her on the gurney.

Josie was biting her lips as she saw everything. When the medical staff came out, she brought April's purse and the medicine bottle. She didn't want the staff to see what happened, people might think that she wanted to commit suicide. Even she thought about it. So she closed the door and locked it.

Now wasn't the time to looked around, she had to go to the hospital with April.

The cafe staff saw their boss being hauled off to the ambulance. They were all worried and scared for their boss. She looked paler than ever, they couldn't help but murmured to each other.

Josie didn't bother with this, her hand kept dialing James over and over. He still didn't pick up.

Inside the ambulance, the staff asked more questions. Like her name, allergies and known illnesses. She told him about April's medical information and that she had a preferred hospital. She also handed her the medicine bottle that she believed April took.

It was only 30 minutes away, so they drove that way. As of now, April was on critical condition but it was doable. He was able to stabilize her breathing as well as checked her vitals.

This is the second time that Josie was in a panic. Why was James not answering his phone?! So she then decided to contact the Master. All hell would break lose if he picks up, she could only pray that James wouldn't lose his job.

-----

Alex was currently on a very important meeting with the board of directors and James was currently having a presentation.

Just then, his phone started vibrating inside his pocket. Their company had a certain law inside this conference room, was that he would never take a phone call nor does everyone else. The reason was, the call can always hold on and their meeting can't. Someone who get caught will be reprimanded.

Looking at his phone, the one calling was April. He hated to ignored it but he had to. He rejected the call and typed a text instead.

"Can't, Im on a meeting. Call you when its over baby. xxx" He sent the message.

Not long after, he received a reply.

"Sir, this is Josie. Madame April has fainted again, We are heading now to the Ridge Tree Hospital."

Alex instantly stood up, causing everyone to be stunned and shocked. Did James said something wrong? They all couldn't help but thought.

"This meeting is postponed until further notice. James." Alex nodded to him and run out from the conference room.

James was confused but none the less, spoke to everyone. "Sorry for this inconvenience. Something urgent must have happened. I will let informed you guys whenever the next conference is. Dismissed."

As everyone stood up confused, James then brought his phone out. Shocked to see that there was more than 10 missed calls from Josie.

"Something must've happened to April", he thought. Only April could make his boss flustered like that.

He sighed. He couldn't leave instantly, not like his boss. James decided to call his assistants and asked to help clean up this mess.
