My translation

Revised version

This morning, I was waiting for the train at the subway station, but it was delayed. I pulled out my phone to check messages and noticed my boss messaged me, asking me to go to an impromptu meeting right after I arrived at the office. I was concerned I’d run late and wouldn’t have time to get ready for it.
