Ruby naturally brought the contract, though Jay did not even read a single page before pushing it to Zoe. "Your call."
Zoe was left gritting her teeth—it was such a cheap move on his part!
To anyone else, this would look as if he respected her, even spoiled her.
But he was obviously trying to paint her as the villain!
Still, Zoe restrained herself and opened the contract, reading every clause carefully… until her eyes sparkled when she reached the part of monetary rewards.
It really was eight figures… she was going to be rich overnight even if she had to split it with Jay!
And she was unaffiliated, so she did not have to pay anyone aside from the tax people, and she would still keep a lot.
She would be able to afford a house immediately!
And with her interested, there was just no way she would say no.
"What do you think, Ms. York?" Ruby asked politely. "We can amend any clauses you find inappropriate. My lawyer is waiting downstairs."
Ruby was certainly sincere about this, and Zoe would be tactless if she said no at this point.
And she was never going to reject it when they paid her so much!
"I think it's fine. Why don't you take a look, Jay?" Zay said, holding the contract out at him.
"Don't need to. I trust you." Jay smiled.
Zoe did a double take.
Did he really? Did he not care that he was going to act lovey-dovey with her on screen?!
Maybe he needed the money too?
