Tranquility - Chapter 10

---- Chapter 10: Seizing the Opportunity The pace at which internet trends shift was incredibly fast. Once Beatrice and Shawn had promoted their affectionate daily life for a period, the excitement slowly faded away. They didn't have many other options because, in reality, both of them only had superficial skills. It's like the saying goes, "When you ride the wave of the current trends, even the unlikely can succeed." However, that kind of success wouldn't last long. Nevertheless, during this time, they earned quite a lot.

"Shawn, | like this car~" Beatrice pointed to a car on her phone, playfully asking Shawn to buy it for her. Shawn's gaze evaded her, and he chuckled, "Dear, this..." It was only at this moment that Beatrice realized something was wrong. After some pressing questions, Shawn reluctantly told her the truth. ---- "While | did sign a contract with the company, they take a significant portion of my earnings. Additionally, the company provides a separate payment for essential expenses such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation." Beatrice was stunned.

After she came to her senses, Beatrice asked Shawn for the company's address and rushed over in a hurry. However, when she reached the office and pushed open the door, she was surprised to see me sitting behind the desk. Beatrice was taken aback. "Lily? What are you doing here?" | crossed my legs and leaned back, introducing myself, "Hello, Ma'am. I'm Lily Cross from West Light Media Limited Company. May | ask what brings you here?" Beatrice nearly laughed in frustration and forcefully tossed her bag onto the table. "Lily, what's the deal here?" ---- | chuckled.

"Don't get worked up; you've probably figured it out. I'm the manager of your boyfriend and this is our contract. You can take a look." | took out the contract that Shawn had signed and presented it to Beatrice. | even circled the important clauses in red especially. "Beatrice, | know you're too lazy to read everything, so just focus on clause eight. As per the agreement, during the contract's duration, in the first three years, Party A - that's me, and Party B - your boyfriend, Shawn, will share income in a 9:1 ratio.

"| was lenient with this profit-sharing ratio because of our sisterly bond. Other companies use this ratio for the first five years." While that was what | told Beatrice, the actual reason for not locking Shawn into a five-year contract was my awareness that he lacked the talent to sustain popularity for such an extended period. As | looked at my foolish sister trembling with anger in front of me, | couldn't resist adding a little more sting to my words with a smile.
