Chapter 593 A New Contract
“Do I have to pay so much in compensation?” Eric was somewhat incredulous.
“What do you think? Your money was either given away as donations or spent on food, drink, and entertainment. You simply can’t pay it back now.” The agent sighed.
After some calculations with his agent, Eric realized that he would only be able to pay the penalty fee if he sold his current house.
“Let’s sell the house, then.”
For him, houses and cars were insignificant assets.
“You must be joking!”
The agent paid him no mind and began to seek out the companies that had previously expressed a willingness to collaborate..
However, those companies had also caught wind of the news and sensed that trouble was brewing for Eric. They all agreed to wait until he had resolved the issue before discussing any further collaboration.
Finally, when the agent approached Imminence Corporation, there was, at last, a different response.
“We are willing to offer you a three–year contract, and our company can take care of all negative news about Eric on the internet,” Mason personally answered the phone call.
Without consulting Eric, the agent agreed to the contract.
He also looked up Imminence Corporation, noting that its recent development was quite impressive, marking it as a rising platform.
Eric had no clue that the person behind Imminence Corporation was actually Nathaniel. When his agent agreed to the contract, he had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.
“Let’s check out Imminence Corporation today.”
“All right.” Eric nodded, showing signs of impatience.
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Imminence Corporation, Mason informed Nathaniel that they had already discussed and agreed upon a partnership, signing a contract for three years.
In other words, Eric, the toy boy, was going to work under Nathaniel for as long as three years, serving as a subordinate for that entire duration.
Nathaniel, with a stern expression, closed the file in his hands. “When is he coming over?”
“This afternoon.”
“Do you know what to do?” Nathaniel asked solemnly.
“Yes.” Mason nodded. How dare that toy boy get involved in rumors with Mrs. Rainsworth? He’s truly playing with fire. Coming to work now, he’s surely going to be in for a tough time.
Meanwhile, inside the hospital, Cecilia was on the phone with Eric, asking him if there was a need for her to step in and clear things up.
Eric comforted her, saying, “Don’t worry. It’s normal for celebrities to be caught up in rumors. In a few days, there will be fresh news, and our little issue will quickly fade into the past.”
Cecilia was no fool. Given the significant impact this news had on him, there was no way it could just pass in an instant.
“If you need me to clarify anything, you must let me know,” Cecilia said.
“All right, I’m fine. I need to get back to work now. See you next time.
“Okay.”
Only then did Cecilia hang up the phone.
After she hung up the phone, she headed back to the doorway of Elliot’s ward. The bodyguards and housekeeper were tidying up, getting ready for his discharge at noon.
Cecilia lingered outside, not daring to go for a meal until noon when Nathaniel came to pick up Elliot.
“Nathaniel,” Cecilia called out as he passed by her, seeking to clarify something. “What Eric and I discussed yesterday was purely about music. It’s nothing like what the media has been. suggesting.”
Nathaniel’s steps faltered slightly. “Why did it have to be at night? Isn’t there a better time to talk?”
“We were just talking at the restaurant. It’s not like we went to a hotel.” Cecilia thought he was being utterly unreasonable.
“So? Do you want to talk at a hotel?” Nathaniel’s voice suddenly deepened.
In the past, Nathaniel was domineering, but at least he was reasonable. At that moment, he didn’t. even bother with reason.
Cecilia really couldn’t be bothered to explain any further. “I want to see Eli.”
Nathaniel didn’t respond to her. After having someone bring the child out, he said to her, “Let’s go. Get in the car.”
The child was in Nathaniel’s care, leaving Cecilia with no choice but to follow him into the car.
Once they got into the cars, Cecilia and Nathaniel shared one while the housekeeper and Elliot
Throughout the journey, an exceptional tranquility filled the car.
Suddenly, Cecilia received a voice message from Vivian.
Cecilia was curious to see what it was, but she didn’t lower the volume. Vivian was heard saying, “Ceci, hurry up and tell me. Is that young man, Eric, as handsome in real life as he is on TV?”
