Why don't you call me?
The director spoke softly, looking at Primrose with a kind gaze. Primrose thanked him softly, then jotted down the work that needed to be completed this week.
"Also, the customer has reviewed the project we proposed, but there are a few points they are not satisfied with, as noted in the project version. You review and edit; if possible, please resubmit it today."
Primrose nodded to show that she understood. Her morning work is almost complete, and in the afternoon she will probably start editing this project again.
"Then you go back to your seat and have lunch; it's late; don't let your body get tired. Sorry for discussing the project so much today, affecting your lunch break."
The director of the department did not pay attention to the time when working, and when she looked at the clock, she knew that it was time for lunch a long time ago; perhaps the staff in the room had already gone out to lunch together. She looked at Primrose apologetically, and Primrose shook her head freely.
"It's okay; I still have time to have lunch and rest for now. Furthermore, work matters."
After saying that, Primrose said goodbye to her and returned to her seat.
By this time, Nancy had returned from lunch with two exquisitely packed lunches in her hand. She saw Primrose sitting dumbfounded in a chair, walked over, and patted her gently on the shoulder, placing the lunch box on the table.
"I know you and the director are busy working, so I'm afraid you won't have time to eat lunch, so I helped you buy it. A normal lunch and a salad if you don't feel hungry. Eat quickly. Even though work is tiring, you still need to take care of yourself."
Primrose happily thanked her, and only then did Nancy leave satisfied. Primrose opened the box of food and suddenly felt that she did not want to eat; she already ate this morning and is now just tired and wants to rest. She put the food box back in its original place, sighed, got up, and went to the restroom for the staff to rest, intending to wake up hungry this afternoon. She will have lunch to make up for it.
In the end, however, Primrose was still unable to eat the lunch box Nancy had bought her for the afternoon because, not long before she reached her room to rest, the phone rang, slowly waking her up. It was Nancy calling.
"Primrose, I need to see a client this afternoon, but Brave is in the hospital right now; I need to take care of him."
The panic in Nancy's voice brought Primrose to his senses. After a few conversations, Primrose learned that Brave performed an operation on his patient from last night until this morning, then continued to perform another operation until noon. Because of working for a long time, always having to stay awake, and having not eaten since noon the previous day, Brave felt dizzy after coming out of the operating room.
Finally, when he was not careful going down the stairs, he fell down the stairs; his injured leg had to be bandaged, and he was hospitalized in the hospital where he worked.
Primrose sighed and said she would help Nancy come to the client today to reassure her, give her a few more words, and then hang up. After that, she skillfully helped Nancy ask for an afternoon off work, then told the department manager about the incident and asked to postpone the completion of the project until tomorrow. The director also freely agreed; at this time, Primrose stretched out, got up, rearranged the documents, and then, based on the information Nancy provided, met the customer.
Primrose's customer meeting was also considered favorable; the opponent was an elderly man who was very polite and respectful of women. At first, he was surprised by Primrose's appearance, but after hearing her explain Nancy's situation, he was also very sympathetic, and he then continued with Primrose to talk about the unfinished project.
"The rest of the contract and signing will be done after Nancy returns to work; today has been hard for you."
He spoke softly to Primrose as he closed the project plan, and Primrose breathed a sigh of relief. Today, she originally only came on behalf of Nancy to discuss the project and answer related questions, so her work here is over.
Primrose took a sip of water, nodded gently, and stood up to bow. Suddenly she was a little dizzy, lost her balance, and almost fell; fortunately, the person next to her reacted quickly and caught Primrose in time.
"Are you okay? Your face is already a bit pale; do you need to go to the hospital to check?"
The person opposite looked at Primrose's face and politely asked. Primrose used his strength to stand up and shook his head. Perhaps this afternoon she still hadn't had time to eat anything, so she had a lack of energy, not serious enough to need to go to the hospital to check.
"It's okay; if the work is done, I go back to the company first. Thank you for taking the time to discuss the project today. Happy cooperation in the future."
Primrose tried to smile, shook hands with his partner, and left his company. On the way back, the condition gradually stabilized, making Primrose much more comfortable and soon putting the unusual reaction behind her.
She still has a lot of work at the company, so after returning to the company, she reported the situation to the department manager and returned to her seat. She wants to take advantage of the rest of the afternoon to edit half of the project so as not to slow down the work progress and also not to feel too hungry, so she has no intention of eating the lunch that Nancy bought for her at the time. This.
Primrose is a typical workaholic who, once focused on work, will no longer pay attention to the things around her, completely paying attention to the part of the work she needs to do. So, for the next few hours, Primrose just sat up straight, eyes fixed on the computer screen, quickly editing the necessary documents.
About two hours later, when a colleague reminded Primrose of today's before-hours department meeting, Primrose stretched, slowly looked away from the computer screen, and turned to stand. However, perhaps because of a tiring day at work without having lunch or because the state was not so good, Primrose's eyes suddenly became dark, and the surroundings were suddenly so quiet that she could not hear the sound. What.
Primrose was so dizzy that she fell to the ground and faintly heard someone screaming her name next to her, but at this time, her eyelids were already heavy and couldn't be blurred, her ears were also fluttering and could not be heard, and the person had no strength.
What happened after that, Primrose did not know. It seems that when she fainted from fatigue, a colleague discovered her, and then someone picked her up, perhaps taking her to the hospital.
When Primrose woke up, it was a long time later. She dreamily opened her eyes, saw a relatively close female colleague at the company, Lela, arranging food boxes on the table, and then quickly helped her peel the fruit.
"Where am I? What happened?"
Primrose's voice was somewhat hoarse, and he was also tired and had no strength. When Lela saw Primrose awake, she put down the apple and knife in her hand, softly reminding her.
"You've been working so hard; you haven't eaten enough meals, so your blood pressure has dropped and you've fainted; now you're in the hospital."
Then, as if understanding Primrose's thoughts, she continued.
