It was clearly not the case.
The weather was scorching hot. Despite the short distance from the gate to my house, I ended up sweating profusely and was feeling sticky and uncomfortable all over. After placing my luggage, I headed straight to the bathroom for a shower.
I felt much better and was feeling lazy after the shower. I had planned to continue my work at Crystal House, but after a busy morning, I felt really tired and didn't feel like doing anything. I decided to take a nap instead.
A refreshing shower and taking a nap in a comfortable air-conditioned room was indeed a great pleasure in life.
I ended up coaxing myself to sleep.
I might have slept until dusk if it weren't for the blaring of my phone.
Andrew's nervous and panicked voice came through as soon as I answered the call. I could feel his panic even through the phone. "Luna, can you come over? Queenie's bleeding. There's a lot of blood. She passed out. What should we do?"
What? I jolted upright in shock, covering my rapidly beating heart.
"Where is she bleeding from? Did she suffer any injuries? Andrew, explain it clearly. Where are you guys? Where can I find you? By the way, have you called 911?"
Hearing that something had happened to Queenie, my sleepiness vanished instantly. I hurriedly got out of bed and changed into a set of sportswear. I was struggling to get dressed as I was trembling.
"At the company, we're still at the company. I've called 911, but there's a traffic jam. It might take a while for them to arrive." Andrew's voice trembled, making my scalp tingle.
Traffic jams always seemed to happen at the worst times.
"I'm coming right now. Keep in touch." I picked up my bag, grabbed my phone, and dashed out.
