Chapter 1316: Chapter 1042: So, do you... hate me?

She felt that Frank Parker now was too strange.

He seemed to become very nice to her all of a sudden.

Initially, Joanna Lawrence thought she got the MC endorsement because of Ashton Heath, but now her thoughts had changed somewhat.

Because Frank’s words just now...had gone beyond the scope of just saving face.

Especially the last sentence, it’s easy for people to misunderstand.

Joanna took a deep breath, trying her best to ignore the strange feelings in her heart. She placed one hand on the table, her fingers tightening, and slowly said, "Mr. Parker, I think you may have misunderstood me. The reason I terminated the contract with MC is not that I am unhappy with the price or the brand."

"The signing fee Mr. Parker offered is already very high. I have no reason to be dissatisfied. As for MC, it’s a cosmetic brand that I really like. When I found out I could sign with MC, I was very happy and honored."

"Then why did you･･"

"Mr. Parker, MC had previously sought to renew their contract with Sophie, right?" Joanna interrupted Frank’s words, "If it weren’t for me, a newcomer, the next season’s celebrity endorser for MC would still be Sophie. Her fame and fan appeal are countless times better than mine."

"I didn’t know in advance that MC had talked to Sophie about renewing the contract, so I signed with MC. The reason for the termination of the contract is that I don’t want to be seen as stealing her contract. Besides, with my current fame, I am not suitable to be MC’s celebrity endorser either."

Frank Parker squinted his eyes, "You decided to terminate the contract because you didn’t want people to misunderstand?"

Joanna nodded, "Yes. The termination is also a good thing for MC, as they can sign a more suitable celebrity endorser."

"It’s only because of this reason?" Frank Parker looked at her with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

"Of course･･" Joanna felt somewhat baffled by his questioning, as if Frank had an ulterior motive in his words.

Frank Parker licked his lips, hesitating in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he couldn’t help but ask, "So, did you decide to terminate the contract because you hated me?"

Joanna was taken aback by his question.

It took her a while to react.

"Of course not."

Even if she might have hated him before, the reason for the contract termination was not that.

Moreover, Frank Parker now was no longer that detestable.

No matter why he had changed, Joanna was now willing to communicate with him.

If it were his previous attitude, she wouldn’t want to talk to him.

"It’s really not?" Frank Parker seemed to care about this matter and asked again.

"Yes." Joanna didn’t know what he was thinking, but she didn’t hate him anymore, "I just don’t want people to misunderstand that I took Sophie’s endorsement opportunity. It has nothing to do with others."

Frank Parker stared at her intently for a while.

Only when he was sure that she wasn’t lying to him did he finally feel relieved.

"So, do you hate me?"

Thinking of all the things he had done to her before, he now felt extremely remorseful and regretful.

Her impression of him must be terrible.

He wanted to change, but didn’t know if it was too late.

Joanna was taken aback again, then shook her head, "Mr. Parker, I have never hated you."

"Not even before?" After asking, Frank Parker showed a nervousness in his eyes that even he had not noticed.

Joanna was startled again, then shook her head, "No."
