just started reading (& i like fictional enemies to lovers so don't take this too seriously lol, honestly think i'll like the series a lot) but it's kind of crazy the whole setup is that the mc is being punished by his employer for reacting against clients who sexually assaulted him in violation of the agreed terms of service & that after again having a client who assaults him and then tricks him into an unfavorable contract (which was not what he had been led to believe were the terms from the employer who assigned him this client) which the contract is then treated as inviolable (in such a case since you have signed but were misled & there is no notarization yet, he literally could have destroyed the contract then and there, immediately revoking delivery & thus they have no relationship). not the most fucked up guideverse i've read, but the icky genre conventions of like blatant labor and often sexual exploitation are strong here lmao
