‘Shivam, stop showing off your charm!’
Isha calmed herself down and said, “So she revoked my qualification as JinXi’s brand ambassador because you rejected her?”
“I’m sorry for causing trouble to your work,” Shivam said in a low voice.
“It’s okay. I’ve signed a contract with JinXi. Fanny can’t break it. She can’t possibly control things as she wishes. If she does, she is liable for breach of contract,” Isha said while looking for her copy of the contract.
Shivam helped her take out the contract, and they read it together.
The contract was in English, and the contents were full of various technical terms. Although Isha had stayed in the United States for a few years, it was still a little difficult for her to fully understand it.
On the other hand, Shivam read it smoothly and naturally.
When he raised his head and looked at her, he saw the surprised look on her face. He smiled and said, “I often go to Europe and the United States with Mr. Rudra. Sometimes I have to help him deal with things, so I am familiar with the language and some technical terms.”
“Shivam, you’re amazing!” Isha stood up to make coffee for Shivam. But she would glance at him sideways from time to time. She found that he was focused and earnest while reading the document.
No wonder she always felt that he wasn’t just a driver. Before, she thought that his temperament was only cultivated by Pratap Group.
But now, it seemed that it was entirely because of his own ability to deal with a lot of things.
Hearing Isha’s praise, the corners of Shivam’s mouth slightly curved up, and his eyes brightened.
Isha brought the cup of coffee to him and said, “Shivam, here’s your coffee.”
Holding the thick contract in his hands, Shivam didn’t take the cup of coffee. If he did, she would sit across from him to read the other contract after giving him coffee.
However, now she sat next to him, leaned over, and read the contract in his hand. Her hair would occasionally fall down and gently brush his face.
Shivam could feel that Isha had always been avoiding him. Perhaps five years ago, he was too arbitrary to get the marriage certificate. So she had to accept the role of his wife at the age of eighteen.
Maybe it was because of GunGun’s existence that she always had some misgivings about their marriage.
So he tried his best to protect her. He didn’t want her to feel insecure and leave him without thinking twice.
Since Shivam didn’t take the cup of coffee, Isha had to hold it.
“Isha...” He motioned to her that he wanted to drink the coffee.
Isha hurried forward and brought the cup to his mouth.
Shivam took a sip. It was just the instant coffee in the hotel, but he felt like it was the best coffee he had ever tasted. He smiled satisfyingly.
Seeing that he was busy, Isha had to hold the cup of coffee and let him take a sip from time to time.
After drinking up the coffee, Shivam also finished reading the contract. He then said, “As the contract states, you are one of JinXi’s brand ambassadors this year. Now that Fanny has replaced you for no reason, the company needs to pay you twice your talent fee as liquidated damages.”
“That’s great then! Twice! Then I’d rather have her revoke my job and get the money than continue with the endorsement.” Isha calculated it. If she was fine and healthy, of course, she would choose to be one of JinXi’s brand ambassadors. After all, it was a good chance for her to have a promising future.
But because of her illness, money was more important to her now.
Shivam looked at her slowly. “Are you short of money?”
Shivam noticed that Isha cared about money so much and even spent it very carefully. She had a car and a house. And her personal expenses were not that high. She wasn’t short of money.
But she seemed to be very persistent in making more money.
“Ha-ha! It’s because I have to earn more to raise my little bun,” Isha said casually. Abhay was still a small boy. She thought that she should at least leave him a sum of money enough for his college education.
Otherwise, when she died, he wouldn’t be able to go to school. She could imagine how hard it would be for him.
Thinking that she was referring to GunGun, Shivam felt guilty. GunGun had nothing to do with her, but she was working hard to raise him.
She herself was just a child who had just grown up. But she had to shoulder the burden of raising a child for himself.
He reached out his hand and stroked Isha’s hair gently. “Don’t worry. I will work hard to earn money. I won’t let my son suffer with me, and I won’t let you suffer either.”
Tempted by his gesture, Isha couldn’t help saying, “Shivam, don’t be too nice to me. Don’t you know that it can make people fall for you? No wonder GunGun’s mother liked you so much that she wanted to get pregnant with your child.”
Her words made Shivam’s hand freeze. He then whispered in an aggrieved tone, “I’ve never touched even a single strand of other women’s hair.”
Isha smiled brightly. “Even if you don’t touch other women’s hair, they still fall for you. How much more if you touch it?”
“Well, that makes sense,” Shivam agreed with a nod. It turned out that touching a woman’s hair could make a woman fall for him.
So, would Isha also fall for him?
While Shivam was still thinking about this question, Isha had already turned her attention back to the contract just now. “Fanny has total control of the business in Asia. So even if she fires me for no reason, we can’t fight against her. If we file a lawsuit and ask her to compensate, I’m afraid that we may not be able to win in the case even if we stay here for half a year.”
It had to be said that Fanny also thought this way. A small-time model like Isha and a mere driver like Shivam were not enough to shake or affect her position.
She knew this, so she thought she had more control over the situation.
“No. Directly send a copy of the contract and the lawyer’s letter to the legal department of their company and let them deal with it by themselves. We will stay out of this. I believe that JinXi won’t ignore any employees who abuse their power.” Shivam didn’t even need to act against Fanny by himself.
He asked Lovely to come over and handed her the copy of the contract and the printed lawyer’s letter. “Send these directly to the legal department of JinXi. Also, go and see what Director Baizen has said about this.”
His tone was calm and authoritative. It was as if he was a boss giving orders to his subordinates.
Lovely didn’t refute at all. She took the documents and said, “Okay.”
She only came to her senses when she walked out of the room. She realized that as a professional agent, she was ordered by Shivam, who was an outsider.
Just now, he spoke so naturally that she didn’t even notice that something seemed wrong.
After sending the documents to JinXi, Lovely came back and told Shivam and Isha, “Director Baizen is very dissatisfied with Isha’s replacement. He has been suppressing his dissatisfaction to the extreme. So he has used his own means to report the situation to the senior executives of JinXi.”
“The lawyer’s letter from us and Baizen’s objection will work together to alert them. Isha and I will hang out in the city these two days. Lovely, let us know if anything happens.”
