Ronald then passed two contracts to Mr Adams. Looking at the contracts, one was written ” the model” and the other” blue ocean entertainment.” Not quite understanding why they were two he voiced his question.
” Mr Ronald, why do I see two contracts? I thought it should be a single one?”
Ronald who had been busy admiring the queen of his heart was irritated hearing the question. He wondered whether the CEO was ignorant or plain stupid.
” Different contracts for different parties. The agency has a different contract from the model’s” He explained impatiently.
” Why should I have a different contract? I am signed under blue ocean so we only need to sign one.” Ava complained but Ronald remained quiet. He just glanced at the CEO, his gaze was deep as if telling him to control his models.
Mr Adams shivered in his seat. He could feel a thick cold sweat run down his back. Even after being in the industry for so long, it’s the first time he encountered such a scary man. He himself wasn’t one to be trifled with, after all you needed an iron fist to have a footing in the business industry. But it was his first time to meet a man who could scare you by his looks alone. The man’s Aura was as strong as an alpha male’s.
Without doing much , he chose the safest way to silence Ava, he passed the contract to her and took out his pen and without reading, signed the contract.
” What a wise move Mr Adams!” The devil praised him but he was in no mood to accept his compliments. All Mr Adams wanted was to get this over and done with so that he could leave the place as Soon as possible. He regretted accepting the man’s offer but who was he kidding, it was never an offer but a demand. He could only blame his bad luck for crossing paths with him. Mr Adams was sure that if he continued existing in the same space with this man, he was bound to faint due to lack of oxygen. His breathing was shallow and controlled, he dared not breath loud and attracted the man’s gaze on himself.
Ava who was reluctant to look at the contract finally picked up and opened. She braced herself to find ridiculous terms inside and just as she thought, the clauses of the contract were out of line.
” What? I will be working exclusively for the company for six months?” She read out loud.
” This is completely insane!” She said angrily but insane was what the rest of the clauses spelt. It was right to say that only the first Claude itself was reasonable.
Clause 2: The model will not only work exclusively for the Johnston company, she will be the CEOs personal secretary and an office shall be set for her in the company.
Clause 3: The model is not supposed to have a romantic relationship with anyone and in case of an existing one, it MUST end with immediate effect.
Clause 4: The model will have to move into the CEOs Private Villa for work efficiency purposes.
Clause 5: The model shall report everything she’s doing to the CEO whenever she’s not at the company, this includes at night.
Clause 6: In case the model doesn’t sign the contract, the earlier signed contract by the CEO should take effect immediately and the agency will compensate their client with one billion us dollars.
” Ridiculous! This is utter nonsense. What do you think I am huh? A commodity you can buy over a contract?” Ava questioned angrily. She couldn’t believe the nerves of the guy. How dare he?
” Calm down Miss Adams, a contract is a contract and I just offered my terms to which of course your CEO already signed. This is pure business, don’t make it look personal.” Ronald said, an evil smirk painting his face. He was damn sure she’ll react this way but that did not stop him from poking her boils. He also knew that this could draw them apart but he was willing to risk it all to make her his. This was part of his grand scheme to woo her and make her fall in love with him just how he was in love with her for years.
” Business my ass, I am not signing this!” Ava declared, picked up her purse and left the room.
August, who had been a spectator of the whole fiasco, also sprung to her feet and followed her artist outside. Even she found the terms ridiculous. She had peeked, skimming through while Ava went through them and what she read left her flabbergasted, Short of words. She had never seen such ridiculous terms in all the years she worked as a manager.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Back in the conference room, Ronald looked at Mr Adams with his eagle-like eyes. The CEO trembled in his seat involuntarily. He could sense the killing intent emanating from his body.
” I’ll give you 48 hours, make her sign that contract otherwise you can kiss your company goodbye.” What he dreaded to hear the most was what greeted his ears.
” I’ll try my best.” Mr Adams could only promise.
” No trials in my assigned tasks, you either do it or wait to face the consequences. You don’t want your two little girls living like street children, do you?” Ronald said calmly but Mr Adams was no fool not to hear the threat in his well uttered words.
” Okay.” He replied and remained seated, not dating to move even a finger.
” You can leave now.” Ronald dismissed him, taking that as the current to momentarily save himself, Mr Adams scurried away not daring to look back. He could only start devising ways to coerce his model to accept the offer. He himself knew that Ava had all reasons to decline that offer, but this was no longer about his model, it was about his life, his company and his family.
He had to somehow make her sign that damn contract, it was the only way to save everything at stake.
