The Most Loving Marriage: Don't Be Too Bad, Mr President novel Chapter 17

“Miss Xia, feel free to take a look. This is our employment contract, a period which shall not be less than two years in the course of which the employee is bound to work in the employer’s service, should the employee’s reason of dismissal is due to his/her personal reasons… then they will have to bear a penalty!”

Annabelle’s eyes widen gradually in a slow realization. She was too caught up to resign and neglected this crucial factor!

“Miss Xia, do you already have a decision?” Mu asked guilefully.

Annabelle stood helplessly in shock, her lips tightly pursed together. She was carefully thinking it through and balancing the pros and cons.

“I accept the penalty.” Annabelle spoke and her eyes still gleamed with hope and beautiful serenity.

Her response alarmed Mu!

He cocked his eyebrows in scepticism and with disbelief he applauded, “Twice the amount of contract breaching, Miss Xia you’ve wowed me with your wealth!”

“I believe the liquidated damages are still affordable.” Annabelle smiled humourlessly, while on the inside she was crazily cursing. Goodbye to all her savings all these years!

“Ok, if that’s the case then I shall bother you no more. Two million dollars. And I will approve your resignation once the amount is received.”

I beg your pardon?

WHAT TWO MILLION DOLLARS?!

Annabelle gasped with stupefaction, she difficultly gathered her breath and asked, “Two… two million dollars?”

“Yes. Have you not reviewed the contract carefully before you signed? And I was kind enough to omit the losses you’ve caused Yun Rui.” Mu now replied with a jolly tone.

Annabelle plodded hesitantly to his desk and took a good look at the contract.

Dear Lord! It’s true!

Those black and white had utterly crushed all her lingering optimism. After conversion, she had only managed to save up close to a million, where to get the other half?

Annabelle was left dumbfounded and her brain went into a hiatus.

“Yes Miss Xia? Aren’t you aware of these terms and conditions?” Mu asked pretentiously.
