The scenario described does not accurately reflect the legal authority of an agent. In most cases, an agent does not have absolute and unconditional power to act on behalf of their principal without their explicit consent or authorization. Therefore, Wayne would not have the legal authority to sign a contract on Sarah's behalf without her prior agreement or instruction.
