In the CEO's office of The Burton Group, Sellers' desk phone and mobile were ringing incessantly, a chorus of urgent tones that grated on the nerves. He had no intention of answering any of them.
His brows were tightly furrowed as he looked at the contract termination files his assistant had brought in. "What's going on? Another partner has canceled on us?"
"Yes, sir," the assistant said quietly. "This time it's one of The Burton Group's most important partners. The two companies have been working together for five years…"
Even if Sellers were a fool, he would have realized something was deeply wrong. "Go find out who's pulling the strings behind this. Now."
The assistant hurried away. Not long after, Sherman knocked and entered. His face was grim. "Uncle, The Burton Group's stock price has suddenly become extremely volatile. It's dropped by several percentage points."
For a top-tier conglomerate like The Burton Group, a drop of a few percentage points could mean tens of billions in evaporated wealth.
"Our stock has always been stable," Sherman said. "We rarely see fluctuations this dramatic. A sudden drop like this could cause a market panic. If we can't stabilize the situation, we could see a massive sell-off from shareholders. If that happens… our stock price could plummet to rock bottom."
It was a terrifying prospect, and Sellers knew it. "Have you found out what's causing this?" he asked in a low voice.
