the loan ceiling earnestly/repeatedly

[keannu]

*Dialogue at a bank between a boss and a subordinate

Manager Kim : Mr. Lee, how did the ABC Automotive’s loan case go yesterday?
Chief Lee: I’m still screening/evaluating its loan eligibility.
Manager Kim: You need to finish the screening quickly and submit for approval..
Chief Lee: The company has a low credit rating and the loan limit is unlikely to be high.
Manager Kim: Dear, they asked me to raise the loan ceiling earnestly/repeatedly.
Chief Lee: We have to follow the rules, so I don't think we can do anything about it.

Are the underlined parts correct?

It's an exclamation to express surprise, concern, irritation, etc as below.

dear! I think I’ve lost my purse!

You mean "Oh dear!" Without "Oh", it's an endearment.

Use "Oh dear" or "Dear me".
