Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 159

Simone was not just doing it for Refined Threads Co. but also out of sheer spite

Prosper Stitch Group was monopolizing the supply and refusing to sell to him, so Simon was determined to show Edward that he could secure materials on his own.

Hearing that he had placed an order worth 40 million dollars, Janice could not help but smile. What an idiot.

Silk could not be stored in a warehouse for long. It would rot over time.

Simon, however, was emboldened by the fact that his bank account was about to be unfrozen. With 60 to 70 million dollars at his disposal, this amount was nothing to him.

Since the cost of raw materials had increased, the price of finished products would also rise. As long as Refined Threads Co. produced and sold their crochet pieces, he was bound to make a fortune.

After finishing the call, Simon put on a serious expression and acted as if he was making a grand gesture. "Janice, I'll pay you back. Your lawyer is here, right? Have him draft an IOU. I'll sign it."

He said this only to save his reputation. He did not want to appear as though he was living off her money, yet he did not care at all about the money she had already lent him. There was not a trace of gratitude in his words.

Janice tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and signaled to the lawyer. "Write one up for him."

The lawyer immediately took out a pen and paper and began drafting the IOU.

"I'm not lending it to you just to get it back, but since you are a businessman, everything should be handled properly."

Simon chuckled. "Of course. I always keep my promises."

With the IOU signed, he felt that any debt to her had been absolved.

Besides, he was certain she would never actually demand the money back. Her soft-hearted nature was something he knew like the back of his hand.

Once the IOU was signed and sealed, Simon said, "I'll get going."

She was used to his habit of leaving the moment he got what he wanted. "Alright. Make sure to pick up the goods in advance. Sign an IOU first, or there'll be nothing left."

Simon was slightly impatient. "I know."

Did she really need to remind him about something so obvious? Was he not smarter than her?

As she watched his car fade into the distance, a knowing smile played on Janice's lips. She thought to herself, "Simon, after six months, it's time for our positions to change."

…

In the evening, Janice returned home to have a New Year's Eve dinner with Jacob. Over the years, they had grown used to quiet holiday meals. It never felt dull.
