Is the usage of "get" correct in this in a sentence? How to use get properly in a sentence especially with free time?

You could end it at "free", but if you do mention "office", it needs to be "the office". Simply "get free" is less specific, which is fine if you don't feel you need to tell them exactly what you 're currently entangled in. As for "get free from the office", I think AmE would more likely be "..,get out of the office" or "...get off work".

"Get free from the office" implies that you are imprisoned there. Get free should refer specifically to what is keeping you "tied up". It would be more correct to say something like, "get free of this assignment that is keeping me at the office".

"Get free" is the idiomatic expression meaning to rid yourself of entanglements, i.e., through your own efforts.
"Set free" is when someone else does it for you.

Welcome to EL&U. This doesn't provide much of an answer, as it doesn't explain the usage, and to boot uses non-standard capitalization and punctuation that may confuse someone learning English. I strongly encourage you to take the site tour and review the help center for additional guidance.
