Anthony echoed, raising his eyebrow. He turned back to the first page of the contract and carefully read the title.

“Are you sure this is a contract for an artist, and not for a beggar?” Bill was so taken aback that he couldn't hide the shock on his face. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

“How could this be a contract for a beggar?" Bill asked with a guilty conscience.

Anthony coolly threw the contract into the trash can nearby before turning back to Bill.

“One movie and one web series in three years and not even main roles, only to get a total remuneration of one hundred thousand dollars before tax? I'm sorry. This is indeed not a contract for a beggar, because even a beggar's income would be higher than this."

Anthony's words embarrassed Bill. But he still believed that he was not in the wrong.

This contract was finalized after he agreed to Julie's request and had discussed various aspects of it with Patricia repeatedly.

Was it inadequate to make one hundred thousand dollars in three years? Bill didn't think so.

He vaguely remembered that when he was young, the average annual income of the people of the small and remote village he came from was Less than ten thousand dollars.

Maria also hailed from the same remote place. She could now start off with an annual salary of thirty thousand dollars. How could she possibly think that it was not enough?

If it weren't for his kindness, would she be able to earn that much on her own?

Bill smiled awkwardly, “Young people shouldn't be in a hurry to make a fortune. The most important thing is to gain experience. If Maria gets a high paying job but cannot deliver, then she will be constantly reprimanded for being inefficient."

“What?" Maria scoffed.

Just as she was about to refute Bill's statement, Anthony swiftly pulled her by the hem of her dress and secretly brought her in front of him.

Maria was taken aback.

She then felt Anthony writing on her back with his right index finger. She managed to figure out what he wrote.

“Let me help you.”

Anthony's hands were steady and powerful. Although he was writing across her thick clothes, when his fingertip touched Maria's back, her heart began to race inexplicably and her pretty face was covered in a blush.

In fact, there were several times when Anthony's fingertip touched the strap of her bra and almost undid the hook. Whether he did it intentionally or not, nobody knew.

Seeing Maria not respond, Bill was proud in his heart.
