Late into the night, within the office building of The Times, Editor-in-Chief Kangles put down his work and stretched wearily.
It couldn't be helped, to ensure the timeliness of news, overtime was the norm in the newspaper industry.
By the time news collected from various places was organized, typeset, and verified, it was already late at night. After overnight printing, it was almost dawn.
Generally, the time news editors finished work was when ordinary people started their day.
Kangles had clawed his way up in this industry for more than a decade, from a basic proofreader to a news editor.
Time spared no one; the long-term reversal of day and night successfully made Kangles part of the balding ranks.
The most critical issue was that his body was struggling to keep up; after working just two or three hours, he felt tired.
He made himself a strong cup of coffee and was about to enjoy it when a familiar voice sounded.
"Mr. Kangles, we've just received some big news."
