Contract Quote by Emma Chase

“We’re going over my contract. I don’t have to sign the $50 million NDA like every single other person who’s even remotely involved, but I do have rules. Sodding rules. Everywhere I look, there are do’s, don’ts, musts, and for fuck’s sake nevers. Doesn’t anyone know how to have fun anymore?” quote by Emma Chase
