Chapter 1519: Chapter 1336: Wanting to Get Close to Him, But Also Fearful of Him

"So, it’s because of Joanna Lawrence. Does she carry such weight?"

"I remember when Joanna Lawrence went public with her boyfriend, Mr. Parker also started following her boyfriend and even re-blogged his posts. I guess she and her boyfriend must be quite close with Mr. Parker, and that’s why Mr. Parker knew she was here, so..."

"From the looks of it, Joanna Lawrence is pretty important to her boyfriend. Even personalities like Mr. Parker take her seriously."

"Her boyfriend and Mr. Parker are good friends, so her boyfriend must have quite an impressive background. I’m so envious of her. She’s a real-life Cinderella, and once she marries into a wealthy family, she’ll be a wealthy wife."

"I’m really curious about who her boyfriend is."

"Anyway, he’s connected to the Heath family. Even if he’s from a side branch of the family, that’s still a pretty impressive status."

Joanna Lawrence entered the dining room, noticing that Frank Parker was already seated at the dinner table.

The long table was filled with delicious food.

"Mr. Ashton, Ms. Joanna has arrived."

When Frank Parker lifted his head and saw Nina following Joanna, he briefly furrowed his brow before quickly returning to normal.

He smiled lightly, "I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I had the kitchen make a variety of things. Take a look and see if there’s anything you fancy. If not, we can have the chef make a few more dishes."

Joanna scanned the table and then retracted her gaze, "I’m not picky, anything is fine."

"That’s good."

Frank Parker gestured for her to sit down, "You can relax. We’ve known each other for a while now. Is this young lady your assistant?"

"M-Mr. Parker, hello. I’m Joanna’s assistant, my name is Nina." Upon being addressed, Nina looked up at Frank Parker. Before she even had a chance to swoon over his looks, she was taken aback by his cold gaze.

She only looked at him for a second, before quickly diverting her gaze.

Oh my, Mr. Parker is indeed very handsome, on par with top-tier pretty boys.

But this kind of beauty is only meant to be admired from a distance.

Even if Nina was drawn to his looks, she wouldn’t dare to approach such a man.

After Frank Parker asked Nina one question, he didn’t speak to her anymore.

After Joanna and Nina sat down, more people gradually trickled into the dining room.

With the arrival of more people, the room immediately became more lively.

A hint of displeasure showed on Frank Parker’s face. Normally, he would have had these intruders thrown out for disturbing his peace.

But at present, he needed these people in order to have a legitimate dinner with Joanna.

So, despite his internal dissatisfaction and distaste, he kept it to himself.

The crowd that had been invited into the dining room immediately noticed Frank Parker sitting at the center of the table as they entered.

His appearance was so outstanding that, even though they were used to seeing beautiful men and women in the entertainment industry, they were still stunned.

A few female employees couldn’t help but feel a flutter in their hearts upon seeing this handsome and noble man.

Frank Parker’s reputation amongst the children of influential families in Closia was not very good.

Even though his family background was impressive, and he was incredibly attractive himself, his nearly perfect persona was overshadowed by something he had done in the past. As a result, many people were wary around him.

Women were both eager to get close to him and afraid of him.

After all, it was rumored that his illness was still not completely cured. Even if it was currently under control, it didn’t mean that it wouldn’t flare up in the future.
