Chapter 8 There Is Something Wrong With The Contract
Chapter 8 There Is Something Wrong With The Contract
It was until now that Shirley really knew what helplessness was. She was taken to this damned place
just because she had read a book. Not only did she not have families and friends around, but everyone
around her was on Karla's side. Now she just wanted to be alone.
But at this moment, the last voice that Shirley wanted to hear rang out -- Sam.
"Your current experience point has returned to zero." Sam's voice was as mechanical and cold as the
voice of a human service.
Just now, Shirley, who was still in despair, suddenly stood up and couldn't help shouting, "Why? ?"
Because the living room was very quiet, so there was even an echo.
When Samuel, who was working in the study, heard the cry of Shirley, he stood up instinctively and
wanted to go out to have a look. But thinking of the woman's attitude just now and thinking that she
was not worth it, he sat back. But he didn't know why, he always had an impulse to go out to have a
look. He tried to restrain this impulse and told himself again and again in his heart, 'you are not a real
couple. You are just using each other, so don't meddle in her business.'
But Samuel couldn't know that Shirley shouted this to Sam.
At this time, Sam's voice rang in Shirley's mind again. "Recently, you have been tricked by Karla for two
consecutive times and failed to humiliate the hero and the heroine, so your experience point is zero. If
you don't find a way, you have to stay in this world forever."
This time, Sam still reminded her cruel consequence with a relax tone. Shirley rolled her eyes in her
heart. Well, it was quite human, but could he not tell her the cruel reality in such a relaxed tone? Now
she wanted to die, but Shirley was so stupid that she even wondered if she would go back if she
committed suicide in this world.
But Sam stifled her thought again. "Let me remind you. Please stop thinking about it now. If you commit
suicide in this world, you will never be able to come back."
Shirley was speechless. I just thought about it casually. How could you hear me?
Sam replied, "of course, I know what you think. Please keep going and gain more experience points! "
Shirley had no choice but to continue walking forward. Thinking of her parents, she became motivated
in an instant.
She thought for a while calmly. At present, she'd better not start with Karla. Although she said she was
willing to act, Shirley knew that she had already refused her. Therefore, at present, he still had to carry
out the plan to discover a new actress.
She returned to her room and tried her best to be sober. She took out the contract to sign the new
actress, which was basically drawn up by the new actress's agent. Shirley read it from beginning to Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
end. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was. After all, she was not a
professional. If it was the original Shirley, she might have found it. But now she was just a university
student who had just graduated without any social experience. To be honest, it was the first time she
had seen a contract.
Shirley had no choice but to read it again and again. She surfed the Internet little by little to search for
relevant information. It had been already midnight without awareness.
Samuel finished his work in the study and found it was late. He was about to take a shower and go to
bed. However, when he passed by Shirley's room, he found that the light of her room was still on. He
ignored it and went straight back to his room. But somehow, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't
fall asleep, as if there was a force pulling him to see Shirley.
After struggling for two hours, Samuel still didn't fall asleep. He lifted the quilt, got out of bed and
opened the door. As he expected, the light in Shirley's room was still on. He walked to the door,
hesitated for a long time, and gently knocked on it. After a while, no one opened the door for him. He
was about to turn around and go back to his room, but when he thought of Shirley, he felt it necessary
to care about her.
Samuel slowly twisted the doorknob and pushed the door in. To his surprise, Shirley fell asleep on the
table. The computer was still on, and it showed that she was searching for information about the
contract.
He also saw a contract for signing actors on the table. Thinking of what had happened these days,
Samuel guessed that this might be a contract for signing a new actress.
Samuel picked up the contract on the table and read it from beginning to end. After reading the
contract, he really felt that Shirley was a stupid woman. She didn't find such a big loophole in the
contract. If the contract was settled, then something bad would happen to her. Stupid woman!
Shirley was awakened by the sound of paper turning. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw a
person standing beside her. She rubbed her eyes and saw clearly that the man standing in front of her
was actually Samuel, who was holding the contract she had just read. She suddenly woke up.
Shirley suddenly stood up and grabbed the contract from Samuel's hand. Samuel was frightened by
her sudden move and took a step back. Before he could say anything, Shirley shouted angrily, "who
allowed you to come in? How dare you touch my things! Get out!"
Hearing Shirley's shout, Samuel still looked calm. He turned around and left. As soon as he stepped
out of the room, he said, "There's a problem with the contract. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Hearing Samuel's words, Shirley turned a blind eye to it. She thought to herself, 'it's impossible. I've
read this contract several times. It's in the correct form and the requirements are all accurate. There's
absolutely no problem!'
But on second thought, Samuel must be very experienced since he had been in the business world for
many years. Besides, there was no need for him to lie to her, because they were partners. If something
happened to her, he would not get any benefit. However, she had yelled at him just now, and it would
be too embarrassing if she went to ask him now.
Wandering in the room for a long time, Shirley stamped her feet and decided to brazenly beg Samuel.
Dignity was nothing. She'd better solve the problem in front of her as soon as possible and return to the
real world!
Shirley tiptoed to Samuel's room and knocked on the door. "Mr. Samuel? Mr. Samuel? Are you
asleep?" There was no response inside, but the door opened by itself.
Seeing this scene, Shirley also went in. She found that Samuel was sitting at the table and looking at
the computer. She gritted her teeth and slowly approached Samuel.
"Mr. Samuel? I have thought carefully about what you said just now. I think it is necessary for you to
point out the mistakes for me." Shirley put the contract in front of him. Shirley really hated her flattering
look now, just like the eunuch in the ancient China. But what could she do? As long as Samuel was
willing to help her, she could do anything.
Samuel didn't say anything and silently took the contract.
"Thank you, Mr. Samuel!" After saying that, Shirley sat down on the chair next to him.
"I really doubt the value of your bachelor degree in finance and management. It's so obvious that you
are not smart enough to notice it." Samuel's words scared Shirley to sweat. She didn't have such a
high education, okay? Why did the author put such an excellent label on a supporting role?
"Yes, yes, yes. Please grant instruction." Shirley tried her best to be humble.
Samuel glanced at her indifferently and continued, "The problem is that although the contract stipulates
that the breaching party shall bear the loss, there is no specific standard. So once the other party
breaks the contract, you don't have enough evidence, and the court won't accept it. Because the
problem of breaking the contract can't be determined, then the loss or penalty will be meaningless."
Hearing Samuel's words, Shirley was suddenly enlightened. She quickly looked through the contract
and found that there was really no such terms as how much responsibility the other party should take if
it broke the contract. Therefore, once the actress wanted to terminate the contract, she would not lose
anything because of the lack of evidence. However, Shirley would be in trouble. She would have to
bear all costs including the training expenses of the actress. By that time, the Xia Group would be even
worse. It turned out that there was such a big trap. Fortunately, Samuel was there and helped her fine
it.
However, on second thought, she thought that this agent was so shrewd that she set such a trap for
her. Damn it, I still wanted to cultivate this actress well, but I didn't expect... As expected, it was not
easy to be a supporting role. It was too miserable to be a woman!
Samuel looked at Shirley, who was suddenly enlightened, suddenly thought about something carefully,
and suddenly gnashed her teeth as if she was going to kill someone. He felt it interesting. He didn't find
that this woman had so rich expressions. He didn't realize that he was looking at the woman next to
him with a smile.
All of a sudden, Shirley turned around and said happily, "thank you, Mr. Samuel!" Just as she turned
around, Samuel also turned his head quickly. He didn't expect that he would look at her for so long. He
coughed awkwardly.
Then Samuel changed back to his usual expression as soon as possible, "well... Well, go back now."
Seeing the strange look on Samuel's face, Shirley couldn't help but look at him a few more times. She
was so anxious just now that she didn't notice that Samuel was so... Sexy? Samuel was wearing a
night robe with a dark V collar. Through the collar, one could vaguely see Samuel's chest muscles. She
didn't expect that he had such a good figure. Shirley had never seen him dressed so casually before.
He was not as serious and cold as usual, but looked more relaxed.
No, No. It's not the right time for Shirley to be anthomaniac. She shook her head and told herself in her
heart, 'so many problems haven't been solved yet, but you are actually anthomaniac. You really should
be beaten.' What's more, in the novel, the supporting actress and Samuel have no emotional
connection. They just make use of each other. That's all.
After warning herself in her heart, Shirley became much sober. She stopped thinking and went back to
her room to sleep.
