"Wow, it looks like the payout amount is fantastic. But, uh, may I ask another question?" Luci scratched her head somewhat awkwardly.
Anxiety about her amount of payment seemed to have been erased though not completely. Earlier, Mr. John said that if Luci could do a good job, the fee would be very expensive, right? Very expensive for Evan could certainly mean having an infinite amount for Luci.
But what if Luci couldn't do his job well? What if Luci made the slightest mistake? Would Luci not be paid?
'Is Mr. Evan that stingy?' Luci thought again.
"Please." Mr. John invited her back with a straight face. Now Mr. John was picking up the papers that had just been printed. Mr. John set it on the table and then crossed his arms again to wait for the other paper to finish printing.
"Mmm, so," Luci muttered with agitated hands and head movements.
Luci wasn't sure if Mr. John would answer her and whether Mr. John would not be angry with her later. Because as far as Luci saw Mr. John was very good at keeping his mouth shut. Even Mr. John could shut Luci's mouth with ease. Mr. John was as strong as Evan.
"So when exactly will my mission be completed? I mean it certainly won't take long right?" Luci cleared her throat awkwardly and nervously.
This was embarrassing. Luci never asked her clients about small things like this because usually all these little things were already mentioned in the letter of agreement. But dealing with Evan… ah, never mind.
Hearing the question asked by Luci had made Mr. John's eyebrows rise. And that's also one of the gestures that Luci didn't like. The point was that Luci hated all gestures that seemed to sound and looked condescending to people.
Not without reason, Luci hated it. In addition to the fact that Luci's treacherous eldest adopted brother used to have that gesture. Another reason why Luci hated this gesture was that she had always been treated like she was being looked down upon by others.
Because Luci was poor and had nothing. The only thing that she had was a pretty face like a doll with a plump body that attracted attention.
"Master has not given details. Better you wait for his instructions beforehand. And this is most important, stop asking about anything. Our party will tell you what you can hear when the time comes," said Mr. John and then collected the printed papers from the printer machine.
Now all the documents had been printed because the printer engine had stopped rattling. In addition, Mr. John also seemed to have turned off the black engine. Then Mr. John reorganized the papers that had been just plain paper, but now they had turned into a document. Mr. John tidied it up very carefully.
Never forget Mr. John counted them one by one. Then checked if there was double ink scattered and faded. Checking the completeness of the document took about five minutes. And during those five minutes, Luci pondered deeply.
She was wondering if she should just run away? But what if there was a fine later? Wasn't that fine in the category of debt? Gosh, this was so complicated and troublesome.
Mr. John looked for a medium-sized paperclip from his drawer. Then he had time to put a stamp containing Evan's signature on the document because Evan refused to come out at this time.
Then Mr. John snatched a plush, liquid pen from his desk. Mr. John almost handed the things to Luci until he finally stopped because there was an incoming call.
The call came from Evan. Mr. John also delayed giving the document to Luci because he chose to pick up the phone first. The document later had to be read, studied, and signed by Luci.
"Yes, Sir?" said Mr. John with a very serious face. His voice was heavy and firm, even firmer than Evan's.
Luci didn't know what they were talking about, and who was calling Mr. John right now. But if Luci's guess was correct, Mr. John must be talking to Evan, and indeed the girl's guess was right.
'Especially? What else is that monster planning?' Luci asked in her mind. Now Luci had a new calling for Evan, which was a monster. That sounded very suitable for Evan because Evan was indeed very cruel and evil like a monster.
Mr. John frowned, for some reason. But for sure Luci had a bad feeling, even a very bad one. Unknowingly Luci was biting her lip.
"Are you sure, sir? This sounds very risky." Mr. John briefly glanced at Luci when the man said 'very risky'.
Luci, who had been looking at Mr. John because she wanted to eavesdrop, finally looked away after seeing Mr. John glance at her.
"All right, sir, I'll do it. Good." The call ended. Again Mr. John glanced at Luci, but she had stopped looking at Mr. John to eavesdrop on his conversation with Evan.
"Please read it and sign," Mr. John ordered and then handed over the document which amounted to at least a hundred pages.
Luci who received it swallowed hard with great difficulty. It would take all night to read all these documents. Did Evan's team want to torture Luci?
But Luci had no other choice but to read it. It's better if Luci learned everything first. If Luci found a loophole, who knew, she could escape from Evan. Luci couldn't give up. Correct! Luci couldn't give up.
While Luci was diligently studying the document in her hand, Mr. John secretly made another document. The document would be tucked into the document that had been signed by Luci. Mr. John knew this was a kind of trap, but Mr. John couldn't do anything because his boss was asking for it.
As Luci thought before, the document in her hands contained the consequences and punishments that she would get if she disobeyed the agreement she did. Just like the points of the agreement that had been signed earlier, this binding letter also caused a lot of harm to Luci.
But fortunately, the loss was not much. The binding letter also mentioned fines and the threat of imprisonment, but that wasn't a point that Luci was afraid of at the moment.
The only thing Luci feared was Hans' safety. Since the binding letter didn't mention that the service recipient could threaten the service provider by kidnapping or hurting other people, Luci wasn't worried about anything now.
After studying the binder for an hour, and some points that Luci didn't read, Luci finally signed her signature, albeit with a very heavy heart.
How come? In her previous job as a jockey, Luci was the party who would be the holder of control in the course of the agreement. Apart from that, regarding fines and compensation, Luci was also the party that usually submitted the points.
Basically, the client only received the finished file, then they would submit the revision. But now no, not at all. Luci couldn't help feeling anxious and afraid at the same time.
Finally, Luci finished putting in her signature. With a heavy heart, she handed the binder to Mr. John. Mr. John accepted with a very formal gesture. Then Mr. John was seen photocopying the letter into four copies.
Luci didn't have any suspicions at this point. And Luci did not know that she was being manipulated and deceived. She also did not know that one of the pieces of paper that she had signed earlier had been replaced by Mr. John.
The paper mentioned one point that had been replaced by Mr. John. The point was that the service provider (Luci) and service recipient (Evan) would be legally married if their relationship or contractual relationship could not convince the family of the service recipient.
