Even Luci was not allowed to propose revisions to the points of agreement between them. What kind of game was Evan trying to play right now?
"Sorry, but you seem to have misunderstood here," said Luci who wanted to explain the rules and code of ethics when working with Luci.
"I should have submitted all the points of the agreement first. And if it is felt that there are points that are not following the wishes of the prospective client, then they can propose some changes," continued Luci as politely as possible.
Dealing with someone as arrogant as Evan could not be done in a tough way. Even if necessary, Luci would have to be very humble and crawl to soften Evan's heart.
"What makes it different then?" replied Mr. John.
Throughout this conversation about the cooperation process, Evan did not speak at all. The CEO just sat back on the sofa with his very neat white shirt. The collar was opened by two buttons and does not wear a tie. Evan just sat motionless while occasionally glancing at Luci and listening to the course of this discussion.
Not surprisingly, many businessmen were reluctant to speak to Luci the first time they met, or when they discussed the points of this agreement. Prospective clients would usually ask a representative to speak, as if they were mute or as if they had another undetected language from an extraterrestrial planet.
For people who understand the business world, treatment like Evan and other elite dignitaries was natural. Elite officials often carried the principle of strict social strata, especially in the world of work. They had a structure and work rules that couldn't be broken.
This could be seen at this time, namely, Evan preferred to remain silent and watch the discussion progress. If Evan didn't agree later, Evan would talk to Mr. John, then Mr. John would talk to Luci.
But if you did business with Luci, all those rules would not apply. Luci was against the communication policy with that level order system.
Luci didn't like communication with intermediaries, because Luci and prospective clients were in the same level and strata condition when they were going to work together. So the use of a third person to convey points of cooperation like this angered Luci.
"Excuse me, Mr. John, could you tell your boss to speak here? If you want to work with me, it's best if communication can be done directly and in two directions." Luci glanced and sneered at Evan. But the CEO didn't respond at all.
"As long as the agreement has not been signed then the rule will not be used here." Mr. John explained in his strict and disciplined tone.
Luci looked flatly at the two men in front of her. One man stood like a statue and only moved his lips when talking to Luci. Another man sat like a mute greedy king. The two of them were very annoying, not to mention the tone of Mr. John's voice which Luci didn't like very much.
"Sorry, but I'm the rule here. Because after all, you asked me for this service. If you don't agree with my rules, then you can look for someone else, Mr. Hudan. Excuse me." Luci got up and almost left. But before that happened Mr. John had said something.
"I wouldn't go if I were you," said Mr. John curtly. Then Mr. John was seen taking a remote from one of the nightstands in that place. The remote turned on and a large screen popped up from the wall.
Evan's technology for things popping out of the wall was also owned by Evan. So you can say that Spider is almost as great as Evan? Wow, unexpected.
The big screen was lit by Mr. John. And how surprised Luci was when she saw what was playing on the screen. It turned out that what was playing was a CCTV recording last night when Luci almost hit Evan because Luci ran a red light. But at that time Luci was daydreaming, nothing more. However, it was still a violation of the law.
Then Luci was also seen approaching and feeling something in the car. At that time Luci was trying to help Evan unbuckle his seat belt. But then Evan got out of the car and kissed Luci instead.
Even though when the kiss happened Luci was still thinking about the CCTV around the street which might later give Luci a problem.
But it turned out that Luci's prejudice was proven right. Now the CCTV footage was playing here in Evan's office and Luci was asked to watch.
Then the next thing that happened on the CCTV was Luci hitting Evan until the CEO was knocked back.
'Damn, why did I hit him then? I'm sure I'll be attacked in layers at this rate,' Luci thought frantically.
What happened next was Evan pulling Luci's body so that half of the girl's body got into the car. From the outside, it didn't look like anything else apart from Evan, who looked like he's on top of Luci.
However, when another round of recordings was played, namely the camera loop on the dashboard of the car, it was then seen that Evan was kissing Luci at that time. And after all the videos finished, the big screen in Evan's office was turned off.
"With the tape, I can see that you have no other reason than to agree to our agreement, otherwise we can sue you." Mr. John said again to further clarify the threat that Evan was trying to make.
Luci froze with her body shaking violently. If you have dealt with Evan especially regarding the law and prosecution, then there is no point in denying it. Even when you're completely innocent. Evan can prove it and can twist it like you're guilty. Therefore, Luci already knew that she had lost this time. And it's all over.
Luci turned around with a face made as calm as possible. Luci didn't want to show Evan that the CEO had won. No, Luci had to act like she was a strong girl and wasn't afraid of Evan. So in the future, Evan would have no intention of using Luci excessively.
But, if you look at the points of the agreement, everything is too much. Moreover, Evan will be free to touch Luci in any part of her body and at any time.
"Where should I sign?" asked Luci with a straight face as she turned to Evan. But the CEO didn't look back at Luci. Evan was enjoying the big screen which was currently dead.
"Over here." Mr. John moved to arrange the files for Luci to sign.
Luci grabbed the document and started to sign her signature on the space that had been affixed to the seal. Four copies must be signed, whereas usually there were only two. She didn't know what Evan was planning this time. But if Luci wanted to back out it would be too late anyway.
Evan co-signed the document that had been signed by Luci. Every stroke of Evan's pen felt like a knife that tore apart Luci's life and freedom.
"I'll make sure you regret making me kiss a girl as low as you," Evan snarled after he finished signing his autograph.
