My Bossy CEO Husband

Wendy held on to the pen but did not sign her name on the contract.

"Miss Finch, is there any other problem?"

Secretary Cotton frowned, feeling a little nervous.

The CEO had told her to secure Wendy Finch's partnership with Glory Media no matter what the cost.

Although she was unaware of the reasons, she naturally needed to comply with her boss' orders.

"Miss Finch, is there anything you are not satisfied with?" she asked again, this time with a gentler voice.

"To be honest, this is the most favorable contract our company has drafted up for a beginner actress to date.No matter where you go, I'm afraid you'd never find an offer that would be more advantageous for you."

Wendy had already known that, of course.

She was hesitating exactly because the contract was much too favorable for her end.

She was the type who believed that all good things come with a price.

Wendy pondered some more before asking the secretary the most pressing question in her mind.

"Miss Cotton, may I ask why your company is willing to sign me on under such good terms?"

The other woman breathed a sigh of relief.

If that was all that was bothering Wendy, then it wouldn't be a problem.

Nevertheless, she had to give the actress credit; if it had been someone else, the secretary was sure that they would have signed the contract immediately.

Miss Finch, on the other hand, kept her head cool and rational in the face of a very tempting offer.

"When you participated in the audition, our CEO had personally witnessed your performance.He thought then that you had great potential, and asked us to draft the contract right after he returned to the offices."  

Was that so? Kane thought she had the qualifications, so he was willing to bet on her skills? But why was she still feeling uneasy about the whole arrangement? Wendy twisted the pen between her fingers.

"The penalty, though...It's a little too high, don't you think?"

It was, in fact, a massive amount of money.

But Secretary Cotton had already prepared a response for this question.

"Are you perhaps planning to break the terms of the contract at some point in the future?"

Of course not! For Wendy, there wasn't much of a difference between five years and ten years given that the rest of the terms were loose and considerate of her.

As for the stipulation forbidding her to fall in love, well, that was the very rule she would never be able to break.
