"I asked, Director Lowell said you just need to submit your ideas and preliminary drafts to her before next Wednesday."
Assistant Fletcher placed the last two files in front of the two designers behind him, then turned to Mingyue and said, "So, you don't have to work overtime today."
"That's great news."
As they spoke, another designer came over: "Tomorrow's Friday, Assistant Fletcher, has Director Lowell seen the drafts I submitted? I've made plans with friends to go out this weekend, and I'm a bit worried Director Lowell will work overtime reviewing drafts and drag me into it too."
"Don't worry about that," Assistant Fletcher took a sip of coffee handed to him by a colleague and smiled at her, "Director Lowell has plans to go hiking with friends this weekend, she won't have you working overtime."
"Director Lowell is going hiking?" Another designer joined in, "Are you going with her or is she going with President Norris?"
"You guys, why are you always so gossipy?"
