My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2916 - 2446: Is it because of Ms. Joanna?

When the office door opened, his assistant brought in a young-looking girl and respectfully said, "Mr. Parker, Maria is here."

Frank Parker glanced at her and said indifferently, "Hmm."

The assistant looked at the young girl beside him, then at Frank sitting on the black leather chair, didn’t say anything else, and wisely turned around and left.

The office door closed again.

The room was quiet, and no one spoke for a while.

About a minute passed.

"Mr. Parker, what can I do for you?" Maria raised her head to look at the handsome and noble man in front of her. Her already apprehensive eyes fell on his emotionless handsome face, making her even more uneasy.

This was the first time Frank Parker had actively sought her out.

And he had asked her to come to his company.

Normally, Maria would be very happy.

But at this moment, she couldn’t feel happy.

Because before she came, she had guessed the purpose of Frank’s invitation.

She knew this day would come sooner or later.

But deep down, she still harbored a glimmer of hope that she could change something.

Turns out, it was all just wishful thinking.

Frank Parker pointed to the sofa beside him: "Sit."

Maria stood still for a few seconds, then obediently walked over and sat down.

She placed her hands neatly on her knees, sitting upright, looking very well-behaved.

In Frank Parker’s eyes, she indeed was a well-behaved and obedient girl.

During the time she had been by his side, she had always been quiet and not causing any trouble.

So, Frank thought that as long as she didn’t make any excessive demands, he could satisfy her.

"I’ll have the house you’re now living in transferred to your name, and here’s a card with ten million dollars in it. The password is six 1s. If you have any other requests, speak now, and I’ll try my best to fulfill them."

Frank’s slender fingers held a bank card, which he placed in a conspicuous position on the table.

Maria’s posture stiffened for a moment.

After a few seconds, she slowly turned around, a tearful quiver in her soft voice as she asked, "Mr. Parker, are you no longer allowing Maria to stay by your side?"

Frank looked at her and said, "You can make a request. Other than what I just said, what else do you want?"

Maria’s eyes immediately reddened.

"Did Maria do something wrong that made Mr. Parker grow tired of me? You can tell me, and I’ll change." Even though she knew it was useless to plead, Maria didn’t want to leave.

Because she knew very well.

Once she left Frank Parker, there would be virtually no chance of seeing him again.

They belonged to two different social classes after all.

Had it not been for her appearance, she wouldn’t even have had the opportunity to stay by his side.

She knew she was a stand-in.

But she thought that even as a stand-in, as long as she could stay by his side, she would be content.

With her humble status, what else could she dare to ask for?

"It has nothing to do with you." Maria’s pitiful look did not evoke even a trace of pity from Frank Parker. He averted his gaze and said coldly, "You can now negotiate terms with me. After this opportunity, there will be no more."

"Is it because of Ms. Joanna?" Maria detected that there was no room for negotiation in Frank Parker’s words. She accepted the reality quickly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at him with reddened eyes, "Is it because of Ms. Joanna that you’re asking me to leave?"
