The meeting was adjourned but James followed Lena to her office. They still had yet to sign their contract.
Lena handed him the contract so he can look over it. The terms and conditions were reasonable. However, what struck James was that the pay was a bit higher than what Shen Mao paid him before. With a quick glance, Lena could tell that was what James was hesitant on.
"Are you questioning the pay rate?"
"I am sorry, but I don't think I deserve this much."
"You are worth that much, even more, if I could offer you the proper amount. It's because you will be with me more when I am handling more personal things. I cannot promise that protecting me from now on will be less risky than before. I am going to be responsible for your life as much as you are going to be with mine."
"Has Miss. Shen found the person who wanted to harm you?"
"Not exactly. That's why I need you even more."
