2. ““ ‘A true implied contract is an agreement of the parties arrived at from their acts and conduct viewed in the light of surrounding circumstances, and not from their words either spoken or written.

Such a contract differs from an express contract only in the mode of proof.’ Western Oil Refining Co. v. Underwood, 83 Ind. App. 488 , 149 N. E. 85 .” (Italics ours.)”
