Once Simon had successfully rebuilt his company, Helena was determined to make him kick Elsie out. She saw her as nothing more than an insolent bitch who didn't know her place.
…
"Mrs. Moore?"
For the past few days, Janice had been even busier than Edward. Barbara made it a point to deliver lunch to her every day, taking extra care to look after her.
Janice was deeply grateful for her thoughtfulness.
At noon, her phone rang—it was Barbara.
"Hey, Janice, are you busy? Would it be alright if I came up to see you?"
"Sure. Please come up."
"Alright."
Before long, Barbara arrived with her driver, carrying yet another delicious meal.
"Mrs. Moore, you really don't have to keep bringing me food. My workload has lightened, and I can just eat at the company cafeteria."
"I have nothing better to do anyway," Barbara reassured her. She enjoyed watching Janice relish the meals she made.
After they finished lunch, Barbara said, "There's something I need to talk to you about."
Janice wiped her mouth and replied, "I'm listening."
"The Historical Artifacts Conservancy has recently launched a new project—an exhibition focusing on the clothing culture from various historical periods, with a dedicated section on crochet. They're currently looking for a team leader, and I was wondering if you'd be interested. Would you allow me to recommend you?"
"Me?" Janice quickly waved her hands. "Mrs. Moore, I'm not in the field of artifact restoration. I don't have the expertise."
"It's not about restoration," Barbara explained. "What they require are replicas of the crochet pieces. We can't display original pieces in a global exhibition like this. They'll provide images of the originals, and your task will be to recreate them."
Barbara paused briefly before adding, "Of course, we won't expect you to do this for free. Your name will be listed as a creator of the exhibition. And also… I heard you're planning to establish an independent division under Prosper Stitch Group.
"The Historical Artifacts Conservancy would consider promoting it for you—completely free of charge."
