Chapter 32: Ignoring the terms and conditions
Jeslyn had thought she was thinking that in her mind until she heard a snicker.
She paused her fingers on the document and raised her head slowly to look at the man in front of her. She blinked and blinked again.
’Huh? I thought I heard him sniffle a laugh. Why is his face still looking like a robot’s? Perhaps I was thinking too much.’ She shrugged her shoulders and continued to flip the pages without reading anything.
Jeslyn sighed again. All her contracts were handled by Maya and Christine. She dislikes reading these ’tiny’ words filled with clauses, party A, party B, rights, and so on.
Don’t these lawyers get tired? She sighed again. She picked up the pen on the table and just when she was about to put down her signature, Maverick pulled the contract off the table.
"Jeslyn Lee, you haven’t read the terms and conditions, you don’t know what your duties are, you haven’t read what you should expect of me, how you should treat my son, what to expect of him–"
"Mr. Somebody I don’t know his name, I hate reading–"
"Maverick," he interrupted her with narrowed eyes.
"Eh?" She looked at him in a stupor. Those narrowed eyes sent goosebumps crawling under her skin. She swallowed as her heartbeat took another beating tune.
