Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 237

"This is from Greg—a set of four vintage vases for your training institute," Myra said. She then instructed the bodyguards, "Make sure to handle them carefully when taking them out."

Janice wasn't a collector of vintage items, but she could easily recognize their considerable value. These had to be worth a fortune.

"They're too valuable. I can't accept them—"

Myra quickly cut her off, saying, "You saved Barbara. For that alone, these gifts are nothing. Once your business opens, we'll bring more. It's the least we can do."

Janice felt genuinely touched by their kindness. She couldn't resist joining everyone in organizing and cleaning the three storefronts.

"We can hang some antique crochet pieces on the walls. I have a few at home. I may not know much about crochet, but they'll look great here. Plus, they'll showcase traditional Cruznian craftsmanship. At least we'll have some standout pieces to give the place character," Greg suggested thoughtfully.

As they worked and chatted, time flew by, and before they realized it, it was already 5:30 pm.

"Is that Edward's car?" Myra asked, spotting a vehicle pulling up outside.

As the Bentley came to a stop, Edward stepped out and walked toward the store.

"Here comes my nephew, the chairman himself!" Myra teased.

Edward greeted the group, "I'm here to pick up Janice for dinner. Would you care to join us?"

Since everyone was already there, it seemed natural to dine together.

"Let's go, then," Barbara said. "Everything's nearly finished. Just make sure to send a cleaning company for a final touch-up."

Everyone started making their way out.

Walking alongside Janice, Edward took her hand and flashed a warm smile. "Thank you for all your hard work, Ms. Smith."

The training institute was Janice's personal project.
