Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 241

"Deal!"

"You'll be my secretary, then," Edward added.

Although it was a secretary position, working closely with Edward would mean he would get to do far more than basic tasks. He would stand to gain invaluable knowledge.

Jacob was ecstatic. He jumped to his feet and raised his glass to Edward. "Thank you, Edward! I promise I won't let you down. If I make any mistakes, don't hesitate and tell me straight. That's the only way I'll get better!"

With that, he drank his glass in one go, his excitement practically radiating from him.

He knew that Edward was offering him this chance because of Janice, and he couldn't let her down. He had to make the most of this opportunity.

Janice, however, was still in disbelief. "That's it? You're not even going to interview him?"

"Prosper Stitch Group doesn't have shareholders," Edward said casually. "My decision is final."

No one had the power to challenge his choices. That was the authority of an absolute executive chairman.

Unlike Melody & Loops Creations or Onley Group, where boardroom politics often slowed down progress, Prosper Stitch Group operated without interference.

Edward detested bureaucracy. He preferred handling everything himself, and he'd take full responsibility without others stepping in. This had been his approach for 30 years, but with Janice, things had changed. Over time, he learned to trust his team and delegate more effectively.

After dinner, the three of them chatted for a while before Jacob retired to the guest room to rest.

Janice remained on the couch, deep in thought. Suddenly, Edward stood up and effortlessly scooped her into his arms.

"Edward!"

Standing nearby, Laura couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

"What's with the fluster?" Edward asked, completely unfazed. "We're going to spend our lives together. You should start getting used to it."

Janice's cheeks flushed. "Used to what?"

"Not you—them."

They would need to get used to the fact that the man of the house would always carry his wife.
