Lucy's expression also softened.
"Alright, if there are no issues, let's sign the contract." Lauren was straightforward and spared no words.
I nodded and looked at Lucy. "What do you think?"
Even though I was the one footing the bill, Lucy was my partner, and in the future, she would be the manager, so I wanted her approval.
It was a matter of respect, and I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable over trivial matters.
Sure enough, she smiled and said, "It's up to you."
"Alright, Ms. Carter, let's sign the contract," I said.
Lauren nodded and took out the contract she had on hand.
Having a background in marketing, I made sure to carefully review the contract before signing my name and stamping it with my seal of approval.
The project had a one-month deadline, with a penalty of one percent of the project amount for each day delayed!
The project payment would be split into three installments. I added her as a friend and transferred thirty grand to her in person.
