Chapter 1529 Louie’s Request
Louie stood up. “All right. After this meal, we’ll talk about the termination of your contract.” Soon, the food was served, but Eva clearly did not have any appetite and picked at her food, only eating the vegetables.
He looked at her somewhat thin body and frowned. “You don’t need to go on a diet.”
However, Eva wasn’t going on a diet; she had simply lost her appetite because she was so furious with him. “Let me cancel my contract. We can still be friends, and I’ll work with your company if needed in the future.”
It had been a long time since Louie saw her chatting with him so calmly, and there was a smile at the corners of his mouth as he held his wine glass. “As long as you’re willing to renew your contract, you can take 90 percent of the profits while the company only takes 10 percent. What do you think?”
Eva was taken aback for a moment. His proposition was unprecedented, and it did sway her a little.
“What I need now isn’t money. It’s freedom.”
“I won’t interfere with your life. You’re free.”
“I want absolute freedom.” Eva craved even more than that. As long as he was there, she would always feel as if she were enshrouded in his shadow.
Narrowing his eyes, Louie shook his head. “I won’t let you go.”
This was the only thing he couldn’t comply with. He was unwilling to let her go as he knew that once she left his company, she would be like a kite on the loose, and he wouldn’t be able to hold onto her.
“Then, tell me what you want! As long as I can do it, I will oblige, but only if you agree to terminate my contract.” Eva slightly raised her eyebrows, knowing that she had an advantage in terms of negotiations.
After all, the favored ones would always be dauntless. Besides, she knew very well that this man was partial to her, and she could be impudent to him.
Louie’s dark eyes instantly narrowed a little, and they were filled with greed as he asked in a hoarse voice, “Can I ask for anything?”
Eva nodded. “Go ahead!”
“Sleep with me for one night.” Louie bluntly went straight to the point. This was something he yearned for desperately—to get her.
At his words, Eva’s face flamed red. She didn’t expect him to have such a request. The reason she had been able to stay safe and sound in this circle and was not taken advantage of was that he was protecting her. Hence, she didn’t expect that he would be the one who wanted to take advantage of her.
Eva pursed her red lips, wrestling with herself, but she raised her head after a moment and said, “Okay, I agree, but you have to sign the contract termination agreement first.”
Louie had mixed feelings. He didn’t know whether to be happy or disappointed about this. He used the most despicable means to obtain her, and she actually agreed to it. This meant that freedom was what she wanted most, and he was the one she wanted to get rid of even if she had to abandon her dignity. He regretted it. I shouldn’t have promised her. But deep down, he craved her so longingly.
“In three days, your original contract should arrive here, and I’ll sleep with you that night.” Upon saying that, Eva downed the wine in her glass and looked at the flowers on the couch. As she liked flowers, she took them with her when she left.
Louie finished his wine and picked up his phone, making a call to his subordinates. “Prepare Eva’s contract termination agreement and deliver it to me by tomorrow afternoon.”
“Yes, President Gilmore.”
After hanging up, he looked at the night sky from the window with a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn’t deny that he wanted to have her even more than to let her go.
Meanwhile, in the hospital ward, Jessie stayed with Julian on a small bed next to him, feeling satisfied and content. She thought, It’s a blessing to be able to take care of Julian when he’s sick!
Outside, Lisa had also watched the video sent by her fans right after filming and learned that Julian was in the hospital. Naturally, she would not miss this opportunity to shine, so she showed up with her assistant while carrying a bouquet. However, Bethany stopped her at the door.
“Miss Powers, Young Master Julian is currently sleeping. Please don’t disturb him.”
“I’ll just go in and take a look and leave after putting down the bouquet, okay?” Lisa was pleading with her, but she had an ulterior motive. She wanted to go in and take a few pictures so that she could gain some popularity from it.
Bethany was aware of what she was up to and firmly blocked her way. “I’m sorry, Miss Powers, but someone is already taking care of Young Master Julian. It’s not a good time for you to disturb them.”
