Oliviа оwns а smаll event-planning business in Califоrnia. Her lоngtime friend, Marcus, recently left his job and told Olivia that he was considering moving out of California to look for work. During a conversation over coffee, Olivia said to Marcus: “If you stay here and help me with my event business for the next few months, I’ll pay you $6,000.” Marcus responded, “Okay, I can do that.” Over the next three months, Marcus worked regularly for Olivia. He helped coordinate events, communicated with vendors, assisted at weekend events, and handled administrative tasks during the week. Olivia relied on Marcus’s help to keep her business running smoothly. During this time, Olivia did not pay Marcus but frequently thanked him and told others that Marcus was “a huge help” to her business. Marcus turned down a job opportunity in another state because he believed Olivia would pay him the $6,000 as promised. At the end of the three-month period, Marcus asked Olivia for the $6,000 she promised him. Olivia explained that she believed that she was “just helping a friend” and that Marcus had volunteered his time. Marcus seeks to enforce Olivia’s promise. Was a valid contract formed between Olivia and Marcus? Discuss fully. Assume that a court finds no valid contract. Can Marcus enforce Olivia’s promise under the doctrine of promissory estoppel? Discuss fully.
