"I'll make sure you regret making me kiss a girl as low as you," Evan snarled after he finished signing his autograph.
Mr. John cleaned up all the files. Three copies of the file were kept in a safe in Evan's office. While one file was handed over to Luci.
Whereas usually, Luci was the one who should provide a copy of the agreement to her client, not the other way around. But dealing with Evan would be very difficult if there were too many protests and unwillingness to comply.
"Master John, why are there so many copies?" asked Luci. Maybe this seemed impolite because she asked for the number of files that had been signed. But Luci had to do it because after all, Luci's life also had an effect here.
Luci didn't want Evan to abuse this newly signed agreement. Abuse could take many kinds. One of them was the abuse of authority to gain full power over Luci. In other words, Evan could have taken whatever Luci had for Evan's sake, including Luci's precious crown, virginity.
Luci wouldn't let that happen no matter what Evan threatened to do. But hard work alone without tactics wouldn't be enough against Evan. Maybe Evan could just throw Luci into prison just because Luci didn't want to give up her body someday, but that wasn't what Luci was most afraid of.
There was one other thing that Luci was very afraid of, namely the safety of Hans himself. Evan might jeopardize Hans' safety if Luci wouldn't be able to fulfill the entire agreement with Evan this time.
Evan was typically a persistent person, who often looked for the opponent's weakness to paralyze him. And Luci's only weakness was Hans. If Evan had 'held' Hans, then Luci would not be able to move.
Therefore, before it was too late, Luci had to know Evan's plan as early as possible. So that in the future Luci already had a way to beat Evan. Because even though Luci had already plunged into the battlefield with Evan, there was no place and time to back out now.
"You don't have the authority to ask that, Miss." Mr. John replied with a curt following with a straight face. His chin was raised again even though he was standing, while Luci was sitting.
"This is not the transparency I want. Asking for a copy of the document is certainly within my jurisdiction, Mr. John. Because after all, I'm signing here anyway. And I want everything to be transparent, openly. Otherwise, you can cancel the agreement." Luci answered no less curtly.
Luci didn't want to show that she was a weak party that could be trampled on. Just because Luci was poor and only a jockey, then these rich people could do whatever they wanted.
Outside of that, Evan, who was just watching, finally giggled especially after hearing Luci's answer. But Evan's giggle didn't sound like a giggle because Evan was feeling funny or amused, and so on. Instead of Evan's giggles sounding in a disdainful tone, the CEO was belittling Luci.
"Excuse me, anything funny, sir?" asked Luci who she directed to Evan. But Evan didn't answer. Instead, Evan looked sharply, but not at Luci but forward, at the screen that had just been turned off.
"You are not in a proper position to speak to Mr. Evan. Please take care of your attitude, Miss!" snapped Mr. John loudly. His face began to glow red, as red as the fire that wanted to burn Luci's body and courage.
Luci glared when she saw the human statue which was none other than Mr. John, who had looked pale and motionless and began to turn red and burn.
Luci's fear was heightened when she saw Evan's sharp and cruel face, which seemed to be waiting to end Luci's life as soon as possible. Luci swallowed nervously.
"I – I – ahem, I just want transparency, openness," Luci answered with a bit of worry. The girl's beautiful face was already wet with sweat. Not to mention that the gray shirt that Spider bought earlier also started to get wet with sweat.
Of the many clients that Luci had handled, only Evan was the most arrogant and willing. Even when they met at the park, Evan was so kind and friendly.
'It must be a mask. Don't believe the mask he's wearing!' Luci thought.
"There is no form of transparency like you asked for. You just have to run the errands, and you're done." Mr. John made that annoyingly disciplined tone again. Even though Luci hated that kind of tone of voice.
Luci wanted to throw Mr. John down with a rotten sock in her flat. Surely Mr. John would pass out and would not wake up forever. Then was he dead then? That was Luci's goal.
"Sorry sir, this is beyond my limits. I can't be Mr. Evan's pretend lover in this way. If you can't fulfill my request for openness, then you'd better find someone else." Luci almost got up to leave.
Luci no longer cared about prison, prosecution, and so on. Let Luci be imprisoned or punished, it didn't matter. After all, now there was a Spider who could take care of Hans. If Luci was imprisoned, there would still be Spider who would replace Luci's duty to take care of Hans.
And for the hospital fees, Luci could borrow money from Spider. If Luci was out of prison then Luci could repay her debt to Spider.
'Right, better that way than me being stuck with this psychopath,' thought Luci.
In the agreement, Evan mentioned that Luci must be Evan's pretend lover. Well, it was just like her other clients' requests, and Luci wasn't surprised by that. But Evan didn't mention specifically why the CEO wanted to hire Luci's services.
She meant, did Evan want to break up with his fiancé and cheating boyfriend? Or did Evan want to thwart an arranged marriage? Evan didn't explain a single reason here.
That alone (the reason why Luci was hired was not clear) was very contrary to Luci's way of working, which must know all the facts and events that happened to her client.
In other words, Luci must know in detail the chronology and background of why Luci was required to be the pretend lover of potential clients. Because after all, Luci needed all that info for smooth surveillance, disguises, and so on.
But if Evan wanted to hide everything like this, how could Luci work then? Even if this continued, Luci would feel exploited and framed.
"I wouldn't have the courage to cancel this agreement if I were you. We…." Mr. John started talking again.
"I do not care. You can sue me if you want, just like what you threatened me earlier. But I'm not going to take this job." Luci almost tore up the agreement letter that was in her hand.
Luci wanted to tear it into pieces and then Luci would throw the torn agreement letter in Evan's face. Haha, that would be Luci's golden opportunity. At least that's the only way Luci could vent her frustration on Evan.
Luci's hand, which was about to tear the agreement letter, finally stopped after Evan got up and pulled Luci's body so that her body fell on the sofa. Evan squeezed her body while his face was getting closer to her.
