Mavis stared blankly at the document on the coffee table and took it slowly.
The first page was printed in large characters. [Marriage Agreement]
The Callahan family was a wealthy and aristocratic family with a big business. If there was any pre-marital property certificate that needed to be clearly divided, Mavis can understand.
Thinking of this, she tuned the page.
There were a lot of terms and conditions, which she did not expect at all.
The term of this agreement was one year.
The agreement roughly meant that for a year of private marriage, she needed to cooperate with Anthony to pretend to be intimate at any time. In private, they did not interfere with each other.
When the one-year marriage deadline was up, Anthony will give her a corresponding reward, and the divorce fee will be very generous.
The reward column at the bottom was blank.
It seemed Anthony left it to her on purpose.
She looked at this thick marriage agreement in shock and felt so ironic in her heart.
No wonder Anthony was so indifferent to her tonight. It turned out that he had this idea from the very beginning. He wanted to use her...
One year contract couple.
In the past, she thought this kind of thing would only be seen on TV, but she didn't expect it to happen to her this time.
But why was she... not happy at all.
When her expression was complicated and her heart was full of mixed feelings, Anthony sipped his cigarette and said lightly,
"As long as you sign this agreement, you don't need to go back to your previous small apartment. I will let people help you carry your luggage and come to Callahan Residence."
"In addition, if you don't want to go to work, I will give you 100,000 dollars of pocket money every month this year, enough for your daily expenses."
"You just need to cooperate with me at the right time and perform to be affectionate."
"As for the property division of the divorce after one year, I will leave it to you. I cannot give you the shares of Callahan Group. Except that, I have other real estate, shares of major subsidiaries, gold, and cash. How much do you want? I can satisfy you."
The room was filled with a faint smell of tobacco. Anthony's expression was covered in smoke, and there was no gentleness, only alienation and indifference on his face.
Mavis looked at him. The tip of her nose was a little sour, and his eyes were faintly red.
She had fantasized, longing for a sweet love with him, and even a happy marriage. Now it seemed that she was thinking too much.
A one-year marriage agreement.
They would divorce after a year. After that, they had nothing to do with each other. They were strangers.
She looked at the column about the divorce compensation for her with some sarcasm, "If I fill in here, I just want to get you, your body, and your heart, and you will give it to me too."
Anthony frowned. His expression was a little serious, and he was not angry, "Emotion is the most empty thing in this world. I can't give it to you."
He said it very firmly, without hesitation at all, as if the possibility of falling in love with her was basically zero for him.
Mavis bit her lower lip. The slight tingling on her lip was awakening her sanity.
She pushed the document back, "I'm sorry Mr. Callahan. I'm not going to sign it. You can... find someone else to be the wife of the agreement."
Anthony stared at her and had an ironic smile as if he had expected it.
"Okay, I won't force you. It's fine if you don't sign it." He lowered his eyes and looked at the time on his watch, "It's very late. I'll have a bodyguard take you home. You can take it has never happened."
"No, I have money. I can take a taxi back by myself."
"Callahan Residence is a manor on the outskirts. There is no taxi within a radius of ten miles. How do you get back?"
"I don't need to bother you. I will handle it myself."
Mavis stroked the folds on the skirt, stood up slowly, and bowed politely to him, "Thank you very much for taking care of me after I was drunk. I'm very happy with today's date."
She spoke calmly, with a smile on her face that seemed to hide her sadness.
Anthony noticed, and felt uneasy for no apparent reason.
"Goodbye, Mr. Callahan."
Mavis bowed slightly again and walked towards the door.
