Jasmine leaned back in her chair, closing her eyes as a wave of dizziness washed over her.

The room felt unusually warm, and her heart raced uncomfortably.

Had she been pushing herself too hard?

A faint smile touched her lips as she thought of Alex.

Perhaps this was the perfect excuse to reach out to him.

She picked up her phone and dialed his number.

"Alex, I need your help," she said softly,

"I suddenly feel unwell," she admitted.

"My head is spinning, and my body feels... off. It's like I'm overheating, and my breathing is heavy."

Alex frowned, his mind racing. "Did this happen suddenly? Did you eat or drink anything unusual?"

She glanced at the half-empty coffee cup on her desk.

"I just had some coffee, but it tasted different-not like usual."

"Don't drink any more of it," he advised urgently. "It might be contaminated. Are there any other symptoms?"

Jasmine hesitated. "I feel flushed and a bit disoriented."
