After a long night, the morning at the Lumora Tech office was still rough. Sleep deprivation and stress were taking their toll on the team members. Victoria takes a sip of cold coffee — who knows how many cups she's had since last night — as she stares at the increasingly busy work schedule on her laptop screen. The escalation emails kept coming, and the pressure from clients mounted.
Nadine came in with a tired expression, her eyes slightly puffy. "I just got an email from CloudWave," she said quietly. "They're considering other options if we can't assure them this week."
Victoria's heart beat faster. "We haven't even started testing the system! If they pull out, the repercussions will be crazy."
Dave and the Software Engjneering Team were already complaining in the corner of the room.
