Sonia pondered for a few seconds. “For now, go negotiate with the presidents of these banks and see if they’re willing to change their minds. Also, use that as an opportunity to get a grasp on whether Titus is the one pulling the strings.”
“Okay,” Daphne answered. Seemingly having thought of something, she asked, “Should I report this to President Lane?”
“No.” Sonia shook her head. “Charles will be busy running his own company. I don’t want to bother him.”
“Alright.”
After Daphne left, Rebecca from the finance department came. “President Reed, what’s going on? I got a few calls from multiple banks. They’re urging us to repay our loans immediately. Haven’t we just gotten them? Why are they telling us to pay when it’s not even time yet?” Rebecca questioned as she walked up to Sonia’s desk.
Sonia pinched the bridge of her nose. “Can’t you see that we’re being targeted?”
“By who?” Rebecca slammed her palm on the desk.
A chilly glint fleeted across Sonia’s gaze. “I suspect Titus is behind this, but I have no evidence yet.”
“That will have to wait. We need to prioritize solving the crisis regarding our capital. The main funds that are supporting the operation of Paradigm Co. consist of the loans from those banks. The company will fall into bankruptcy the moment we return the money to the banks.” Rebecca sounded irritated.
