Affairs of the Heart // All Aboard

Hello everyone! In the previous episode of All Aboard, our poor Chloe has suddenly had a heart attack in the middle of a meeting and now she has been taken to hospital.

(As a disclaimer, I didn’t do any research for this storyline at all, so just pretend I know what I’m talking about.)

“That’s it. I’m dead. I’ve died and this is the afterlife.”

Chloe can’t believe it. She was expecting a bit more fanfare.

“Ms Woods, I assure you that you are alive and well. You’ve had a heart attack, but everything seems fine now. Are you in any pain?”

Chloe looks up at the doctor. Well, I guess I’m not dead after all, she thinks to herself. Hooray.

“No, I feel pretty good, all things considered. How did I have a heart attack? Aren’t they for, like, old people? I’m only thirty!”

“It’s actually more common than it appears on TV, Ms Woods,” the doctor explains. “Are you under any stress at the moment? Have you been dealing with any sudden life changes, for example?”

Chloe ponders that for a moment. Well, she did just move in with her boyfriend recently, and became the unofficial stepmother for his six-year-old daughter. And then she broke up with that boyfriend. And now she’s had to fire one of her models, which means she has to do a whole new casting session… Oh, and there’s the magazine editor thing, of course…

“No. No stress at all. Nothing has been happening.”

Jessica and Nikki are at the hospital as well.

“Chloe, I really think you should go on holiday or something,” Jessica suggests. “Don’t worry about Ello Models Inc -your assistant, Janessa, can take care of everything! And of course, Nikki and I are happy to help out. The casting process will go fine without you.”

Chloe isn’t sure about leaving her assistant Janessa in charge of things, but a holiday does sound nice… Maybe somewhere warm and sunny, like Bali? Or Hawaii! Oh, the options were endless!

“Alright then, I guess I will go on a holiday. Sometimes breaks are good, right? I’ll give Janessa a ring tomorrow.”
