Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 239

Over the past two weeks, Prosper Stitch Group had been swamped with orders from department stores and boutiques. Demand was skyrocketing, leaving the factories with no choice but to work overtime to keep up.

"This isn't my decision to make," Edward said simply. He had always respected Janice's choices.

If she wanted to take on the project, she could. If not, it didn't matter who was asking—she had every right to decline.

…

Meanwhile, Janice was still in bed when she got a call from Sunny, who told her that the coal tycoon's daughter had personally requested her to crochet two bridal gowns.

"By fall? Two sets?" Janice's legs throbbed with pain, and they shook at the slightest movement.

Propped up against the headboard, she admitted, "I don't think I can make the deadline."

Now that her work was gaining recognition, she knew she should seize every opportunity to create new pieces. Especially since One in a Million Collective had originally been envisioned as a bridal couture line.

"I can do the bride's gown, but I don't have time for the groom's," she said after deciding. "If they're serious about it, they need to pay in full upfront."

"In full?" Sunny asked, confirming her terms.

Janice rubbed her sore legs. "Yes, full payment. Private commissions don't come with installment plans."

"Understood."

After ending the call, Janice noticed a WhatsApp message from Edward.

Edward: "Let me know when you're awake. Laura made you some chowder."

Janice: "You bastard…"

Last night felt like a storm, and she had been swept up in it, utterly disoriented.

Edward's love had come at her like an overwhelming force, each surge of passion lifting her soul to the clouds. Her body, however, couldn't keep up with such indulgence. Her back ached, and she was sore all over.

Edward: "Sorry, I'll be more careful next time. I'll come home early tonight to have dinner with you."

Next time?

He was nothing but an insatiable wolf. Janice didn't want a "next time" for the rest of the month.

Setting her phone down, she stood and stretched to relieve the tension in her body.
