Chapter 229 Signing An Unfair Agreement
“Don’t you make breakfast for our kids every day? What’s the difference?” he snapped.
Arissa gritted her teeth. That’s true, but doesn’t he have his servants to cook for him? Besides, Edwin’s cooking skills are a lot better than mine! This guy’s definitely doing this on purpose!
“Then what about the one that states I need to follow you wherever you go?”
“What do you expect? Do you think I should find another woman when I already have you?” he asked sinisterly while raising his brow.
Arissa furrowed her brow in response. How rude!
“If there’s nothing else, you may sign the paper now,” he said after glancing at her. The next moment, he sat up straight and took the paper once more.
“What about the things that you promised me?” Arissa asked with gritted teeth to emphasize her part of the deal.
“If you sign this, I’ll do what I need to do,” he said while lifting his head.
How dare she question my words? No one dares to do that!
She looked at him for a while and said, “If you lie to me, I won’t let you off!”
Benjamin huffed in disdain.
There was something written on the last line: If Party B fails to perform the above contents, Party A will have the right to punish Party B, and Party B shall bear for all consequences.
Party B’s me, huh? Well, the tasks are pretty easy, and it didn’t mention anything about compensation.
After a few seconds of consideration, she took a pen and signed the paper.
As soon as she put down the pen, Benjamin took a stamp pad and put it next to her hand.
“Stamp it,” he said indifferently.
Arissa clenched her teeth and pressed hard against the stamp pad before stamping a perfect fingerprint on the paper.
“Are you done now?” She glared at him.
Can you not be so mean?
“Yeah,” he replied happily as he took the paper to look at it before keeping it.
“Where are you going?” Benjamin asked in a languid voice when she turned to leave.
She turned around to look at him. “I’m going back to my office. Where else could I be going? You’re not asking me to stay here and watch you work, are you?”
“I wouldn’t mind if you want to do that.” He looked at her intently.
“Uh! No, thanks! I mind!” She shivered and turned to leave.
Benjamin didn’t stop her this time. His lips curved upward as he looked at the agreement in his hand.
Let’s see where you can run next time.
He walked to his safety deposit box and locked the agreement in it. After that, he continued to go through the other documents.
When Arissa got back to her department, her colleagues were overjoyed and went to talk to her.
“Ms. York, you’re finally back!”
“Ms. York, we thought you’re not coming back!”
“Are your kids okay, Ms. York?”
“Yeah. They’re great. I was absent from work because I’ve been spending the last two days with them. I’m so sorry to have worried you. How’s work? Did you face any problems?” Arissa smiled.
“Everything was smooth except that Mr. Graham gave us extra tasks to finish. The last two days were like going to a battlefield! We only slept for a few hours!”
“I haven’t slept in two days. I wouldn’t be able to stay awake right now if I didn’t have any coffee.”
Arissa empathized with them when she listened to their complaints and looked at how weary they were.
“Is it the same for the other departments?”
“No. Ours is the busiest!”
Arissa was surprised. Could it be that Benjamin’s punishing the IT department because of me?
“Tell me, what were the extra tasks? Since I’m back, I’ll do all I can to help you, so that you’ll be able to go home and rest earlier,” she said.
Everyone became more energetic and started filling in everything she had missed.
Once she understood the whole picture, she reassigned the tasks and took quite a big chunk for herself. After that, she started to work.
Meanwhile, at the CEO office, Benjamin was there with Jonathan. The latter sat in front of Benjamin.
“Why did you call me here today?” asked as he took a sip of the coffee.
