It wasn't working hours yet, and most employees had just arrived at the company. Therefore, the power failure only caused a commotion but didn't affect their work in any way.
"Contact the staff downstairs, and ask them to check the circuit."
"Oh, thank God, I didn't start my work. Otherwise, my designs would have been gone."
A moment later, the employees were asked to take the day off because of the power failure. The entire building had no power supply.
Tiffany walked out of her office and clapped her hands to get the attention of the people who had just come to work, looking around with confusion. "We have just called the maintenance personnel to fix the problem. They said it would take a day to repair, so you all can go home. And considering the unexpected power outage, we are extending the deadline of the project. You can submit your design drafts tomorrow morning. The meeting will also be scheduled tomorrow."
All the employees clapped and cheered.
"Great! Then, I can go on a date with my boyfriend today!"
"Much needed day off! I need to go back home and sleep well. I have been working overtime for the past few days, and I am exhausted."
Everyone happily packed their things, ready to go back home.
Gerda nudged Janet's arm excitedly. "Hey, Lind, you are so lucky! You will have time to redo the design since we're allowed to submit the drafts tomorrow."
"Yeah. I'll go home and start working on it right away." Janet grabbed her bag, grinning happily.
