When Wendy heard Xavia's words, she asked in surprise, "Miss Xavia, didn't you say that the wages for the event and the basic salary were two completely different matters?"
Xavia curled her lips as she said, "Wendy, you must really be daydreaming! Let me tell you something. Mr. Lawry said that in the future, all of our hostesses would have to be paid monthly. So, starting from today, you will have to continue working hard and steadily for the company. As long as you fulfill twentyeight events for the company every month, you will receive a basic salary of five thousand dollars on the 15th of next month!” 2
Wendy suddenly had a very awkward and embarrassed look on her face as she said, "Miss Xavia, I should get paid two hundred dollars for each event. S 0, if I were to participate in twenty-eight events, I should be receiving five thousand and six hundred dollars. However, if the company is going to pay me only a monthly salary of five thousand dollars, wouldn't that mean that I will be working three events for the company for free every month, then?"
After that, Wendy said embarrassedly, "I have been relatively tight on cash lately. So, I cannot accept this kind of monthly payment either. Maybe I will not sign the contract, then..." 2
"What? You do not want to sign the contract?" Xavia sneered as she said, "Wendy, do you honestly think that you are very great and independent now after working as a hostess for a few days?"
Wendy shook her head as she replied sincerely, Miss Xavia, that is not what I mean. I simply think that this cooperation method is just not suitable for me..."
Xavia snorted coldly before she said seriously, " Wendy, let me tell you something. You have already signed the contract. If you are going to go back on your word and break the contract at this time, you will have to bear responsibility for the breach of contract, then!"
At this time, Wendy realized that she had already been deceived. So, she hurriedly asked, "What is the penalty for the breach of contract?" 3
Xavia waved the contract in her hand as she sneered and said, "It is clearly written in black and white in this contract. You voluntarily signed this contract with the company. If you take the initiative to voluntarily breach the contract, you will have to pay the company a penalty of five hundred thousand dollars. Otherwise, the company has the right to sue you and bring you to court!" 3
As soon as Wendy heard this, she was stunned. After that, she hurriedly pleaded, "Miss Xavia, I rely on the two hundred dollars that I get paid every day to support my family. Please help me on the account that
I still have two patients who are paralyzed on the bed a t my house now. Can you kindly void the contract?" 2
"Void it?" Xavia replied sarcastically, "Are you still dreaming? You can make this contract void if you want to, but first, you have to pay up the five hundred thousand dollars penalty!"
