oral or written agreement that is enforceable by law. It creates rights and duties between two
parties; however, it can be voided if one party deals with a mistake. According to Koffman &
Macdonald (2010) contract is an agreement, which is valid and that means it is enforceable
because two parties have agreed or signed an agreement to commit the obligation. They also
added that contract is very important to individuals in dealing the society because there are
different types of contract and areas of law. In some cases, before having a contract offer has
been done. Offer is a proposal from one party to make a contract to another group of people or
individual. This can be done either in a way of writing or verbal. After the offer, an offeror will

one another a contract has been made already. Johnny cannot let Summer to face the contract
alone because he is the owner of the restaurant and he gave Summer a power to decide without
confronting him first. Johnny will be the one who could benefit the most from Li’s money that
