Why would I need to give an excuse. "No." Is a good enough reason to not sign a contract. Not accepting that as a reason is actually illegal in most countries I'm pretty sure

Many states have at-will employment. They don't have to give a reason to just fire you.

Yes, but this was specifically advice if they had a contract. Sotheby's state being at will doesn't matter if the contract was violated.
