Of all the benefits that she could enjoy, what caught her attention the most was that the employer would pay for the employee’s tuition and living expenses for four years of college. A breach of contract would require the employee to compensate the employer with thirty million for emotional distress.
“If there’s no problem with it, you can sign on the contract now,” Tobias piped up and took out a pen.
Instead of signing, Skylar put down the contract. “What a psycho. Why do I have to sign this contract? I’d rather work as a garbage collector than sign this crap.”
“I suppose no one would dare to recycle the garbage you’ve collected,” Tobias said composedly, knowing that she would reject him.
And they said a woman’s heart is vicious. Men can be as vicious as well once they set their minds on something.
Nonetheless, Tobias was not in a hurry for her to sign the contract. Thus, he leisurely got up to his feet and went over to the counter to get a coffee.
At the same time, Skylar thought about the contract long and hard.
She was aware of her situation now—penniless and homeless, like a stray.
If she were to disagree, given the man’s stubbornness, she wouldn’t know how she would be threatened by him again.
There was no escape this time.
Without much choice, Skylar picked up the pen and scribbled her signature on the contract.
She had thought that would be it. But to her surprise, Tobias picked up the contract and tore it to shreds in front of her eyes when he came back.
“I’ll print a new one for you. Your handwriting is too ugly. You even got your name wrong.”
Skylar’s little game was ruthlessly exposed.
At this moment, Tobias’ phone rang. “I gotta go,” he said after answering the call.
“Is your fiancée checking in on you?” Skylar mocked. “Are you trying to make me a homewrecker?”
