The matter could be traced to thirty minutes ago.
Gerald was in the middle of dealing with some paperwork, he planned to bring to Sonia once he was done reviewing, when he started receiving calls directly from the managers in charge of several factories.
[Secretary Gerald, we are at our end's wit here. We don't even know what we did wrong but the suppliers are all clamoring to terminate their partnership with us. They are even eager to pay the penalty.]
He was taken aback by that news when he heard it.
"What do you mean? Did they state their reasons?"
[That's the problem. They are not saying anything, and they want to terminate as soon as possible. What should we do?]
As if that call wasn't enough, more managers called, reporting the same thing again.
