18 THE MOST PAINFUL THING IN THE WORLD (1/2)
”What did you just say?” Hua Zhendan gave Xuan Tianyi a quizzical stare.
”I said I'm not doing it,” Xuan Tianyi replied, self-importance reverberating in his voice. ”What happened to the Coca-Cola Ad?”
”They don't need two models anymore, so I gave that one to Tan Yao.”
Xuan Tianyi's temper rose at the last two words. He stood up and banged the desk. ”Give this one to your boyfriend because I'm not doing it.”
Hua Zhendan raised a brow at the outburst. Is Tan Yao his boyfriend or Xuan Tianyi's? How was this accusation bred? Sighing, Hua Zhendan said, ”Unfortunately, you don't have a choice. You work for me, so you take any job I give you.”
”Actually, I do have a choice,” Xuan Tianyi replied cockily. ”I quit. I don't want to work for you anymore.”
”Oh dear!” Hua Zhendan said, amusement resonating in his voice. He added, ”When I said you didn't have a choice, I meant 'you didn't have a choice.' You can't quit?”
”What do you mean by I can't quit?” Xuan Tianyi tried, with difficulty to control his now, fast-beating heart. He was frightened.
”I mean you can't quit until your contract ends. That's in your contract.”
Hua Zhendan cursed inwardly the minute he comprehended that Xuan Tianyi didn't read the contract. ”I asked you to read the damn contract.”
”No one reads that kind of stuff,” Xuan Tianyi said with nonchalance. Trying to seem less intimidated.
”A contract is an artiste's life. Literally, everyone reads it. Word for word.”
”Well, I didn't read it, and I'm not doing the job.”
Hua Zhendan chuckled.
”What's so funny?”
”The fact that you think you have a choice here.”
”I don't. Want. To. Work. For you anymore. Just let me go.”

”If you break your contract, you have to pay back the company any money you could've made them before the contract ended. Or go to jail.”
”That's ridiculous.”
”And clearly stated in the contract. Which you didn't read. Since I'm absolutely sure you can't pay back that money, I might have to call the cops on you. You should've just read the stupid thing.”
”Big brother,” Xuan Tianyi stood up. ”I'm leaving. And I'm not paying a dime.”
Hua Zhendan stared at Xuan Tianyi's retreating back and shook his head. His hand lingered over the phone on his table. Sighing, he picked up the phone and called security. Xuan Tianyi had to learn how to behave. He couldn't treat him more special than everyone else because he was in love with him. It wasn't like they were dating or something.

”Pretty Pretty,” Xuan Tianyi spoke into the phone as the elevator took him down to the last floor of the building.
”Xiao Shuai,” Xuan Tianmei said from the other side. ”How are you doing, better now? I'd have come check on you yesterday but I was swamped with work. Went home straight cause I thought you'd be there. You weren't.”
