‘Termination of contract? If I remember correctly, Xavia is actually fond of the live streaming work. Also, she does have a good ability in her line of work. The last time when I was there, she seemed like she was working hard and poured in a lot of good effort. That girl even personally told me that she wanted to make a career out of it, and yet she wants to terminate her contract now?’
Zivon’s hand regained its mobility as he continued to sign his name on a document before asking, “What is her reason?”
As expected, Young Master Burton did recognize Miss Lockhart the last time he saw her.
Nathan lowered his head and explained, “The person-in-charge said there was no reason. However, Miss Xavia seemed very determined. She is waiting at the company right now, and she wants to leave by tonight.”
‘She’s leaving by tonight?’
Zivon raised his eyebrows while looking quite profound.
He had drawn a clear line with Xavia. The two were no longer affiliated with each other. Her departure had nothing to do with him. It was just that...Maison still needed her. He needed Yulia too.
So Xavia mustn’t leave for the time being.
“Tell her that the company will not allow any artist to terminate their contract for the time being,” Zivon instructed.
Er... Didn’t that mean that Young Master Burton was too domineering?
Of course, Nathan didn’t dare to say so. He could only nod. “Certainly. I’ll pass the message to the person-in-charge now.”
On the other side, within Dallas Entertainment’s office, Xavia and Dolly were sitting on the sofa and waiting apprehensively.
Before Xavia decided to leave, she had a few moments of reluctance and uncertainty. However, after she voiced out her will to leave the company, she desperately wanted to go. She finally made a correct appraisal of her situation.
Only through leaving the company could she reset everything in her life and restore her peace.
The phone on the desk started ringing.
Dolly pulled her back and rebuked the person-in-charge, “The contract is clearly written in black and white. If you disagree with our request, we can also forcibly terminate the contract. We can even hire a lawyer too. I think a big company like Dallas Entertainment doesn’t want to have any disputes that would affect the company’s image, right?” Her words were calm, and she had a sense of reasoning.
Upon hearing those words, Xavia finally found her courage again and added, “That’s right. We can get it terminated through a lawsuit.”
However, the outcome was...
The principal replied lightly, “Miss Sweetie and Assistant Jarlett, you can have the lawsuit if you like, but I have to remind you two kindly. Remember, in the last clause of the contract, our company reserves the right of the final interpretation.”
That clause basically covered way too many things, as well as changes that might be involved! This...this f*cking company was an illegitimate company to start with!
Xavia was both exasperated and speechless. Why hadn’t she read the contract properly at the beginning and ended up signing herself over to the company? Now what? If she couldn’t terminate the agreement, then she had to remain with the company? Even if she agreed with it, she doubted that Jenna would permit her to stay there.
Given the situation, Dolly also chickened out.
