Chapter: 295
Ariana didn’t press the matter, but she could see the tell-tale signs of the cold on his ears, which were a bright shade of red. She took his arm and led him across the street to a cozy restaurant. “Let’s have breakfast. I’m starving,” she said.
“Okay,” Tyler readily agreed, following her obediently as they walked into the warm, inviting eatery.
After finishing their meal, Ariana led Tyler to the meeting room. She left him there and went to the HR department alone to retrieve the contract.
With the document in hand, she retuned to the meeting room and handed it over to Tyler.
Without much thought, Tyler grabbed a pen and was ready to sign the contract. But Ariana stopped him in his tracks, her eyes wide open in disbelief. “What are you doing? You can’t sign without reading it, or you'll get scammed,” she warned him.
Tyler looked at her with sincerity, his tone muffled but determined. “I trust you.” Ariana was taken aback. Her heart skipped a beat as if struck by a bolt of lightning.
“We've only just met, and you’re willing to trust me so easily, kid? Remember, the world is a dangerous place, and you can only rely on yourself. If you’re still so naive, | can’t sign this contract with you. Trust me, things are way more complicated than you think in this industry.”
Tyler cast his gaze downwards, staring at the contract lying on the table. With a heavy heart, he muttered, “I know.” Ariana sighed, seizing the document and commencing to clarify the clauses to him.
“It's a basic level B contract, valid for ten years. As you’re a newcomer, that’s the best | can offer you. Applying for a higher level is tough, and the chances are slim.”
Tyler’s face filled with remorse, and his eyes darted back up to hers. “I'm sorry,” he said, sounding forlorn. “I’ve put you in an awkward position and brought you trouble.”
“You're not entirely to blame,” Ariana responded soothingly, taking pity on him.
“The circumstances are intricate. I'll discuss everything with you later. Maybe I'll be the one who'll bring you trouble.” She attempted to perk him up with a small smile.
“Anyway, go through the contract first.”
Tyler quickly went through the contract and was about to sign it.
The boy still didn’t read it carefully. Ariana sighed, but she was happy that he had such unwavering trust in her. As he reached for the pen to sign, Donna’s sudden appearance burst their bubble of contentment.
Ariana’s mood soured as Donna posed the intrusive question. “Ariana, did you get my permission before you decide to sign a contract with him?”
Annoyance crept in as Ariana lamented Donna’s incessant interference.
With a swift movement, Ariana stepped forward and stopped Donna from tearing the contract to shreds. “Tyler is a talented man, she stated firmly. “We won't lose anything by signing him.”
Donna sneered, her lips curling up in disdain. “Him? He's barely a blip on the radar.
