Actually, regarding the "Market Research Report" due this Friday, due to an unexpected trouble, I have been forced to re-aggregate the data.

Eh, re-aggregate? That sounds like it will take time. What exactly was the trouble?

Actually, a significant data loss was found in a part of the survey results submitted by the external contractor.

If so, isn't it the contractor's mistake rather than your responsibility? Have you contacted them?

Yes. Although I requested an immediate correction, they seem to be struggling to recover from the system error.

Yes. I exerted my best efforts, even thinking of staying up all night, but to produce accurate figures, it seems unlikely that I'll have enough time as it is.

Hmm, there's a meeting first thing Monday afternoon, so I'll be in trouble if it's not done by then.

Understood. I am terribly sorry, but could you please extend the deadline until next Monday morning? I will submit it immediately as soon as the report is completed.

Alright. If it's by Monday morning, we can manage somehow. However, please don't let the same thing happen again. It's trouble for me if you consult only when it's last minute.

Yes, I will keep that in mind. Thank you for your flexible response despite your busy schedule.
