I would take it to a shop figure out the approximate cost to fix and reach out the the OEM and see if they are willing to cover the costs or pay you back.
In the end if you are biking to work get a second bike for this very situation so you can have one in the shop and one rideable bike. Or find a different way to get to work which is super easy these days and there are so many options out there it is staggering (even if you may not love all the options they can work for a few days or a week)
In terms of bike I would look at something common and easy to fix. Campagnolo is cool and Ekar is a nice step forward for the big C but it is not as common in shops where Shimano or SRAM might be or get a single speed/fixed gear (you can build something nice that performs well). In the end it will help out greatly and most people have space for an extra bike despite pleas of not having space (with all the various racks and mounting options you are hard pressed to not be able to have two bikes)
