Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 257

"Did she notice your skills and assign you any special tasks?" Louis' voice was sharp with impatience. "Let me remind you. You're not just there as an ordinary seamstress. Your job is to get close to Janice and gather intel on her work."

"I know."

"So?"

Audrey glanced at the design blueprint in her hand, then calmly set it down. "So, no. She hasn't assigned me anything special."

"Are you completely useless or what?" Louis snapped.

Audrey lazily propped her chin up with one hand. "Mr. Jovarek, I'm just a regular seamstress. If I start snooping around too much, won't that immediately expose me? Janice isn't stupid. She's already wary that some of the new hires might be spies from rival companies."

Louis' expression darkened. "Is that true? She's that sharp?"

Audrey shrugged. "I'm laying low for now. I'll update you when there's something useful."

She hung up her phone without waiting for a reply. For a moment, her expression remained blank. Then suddenly, a bright smile spread across her lips.

She picked up the design blueprint again, walked over to her desk, and got to work.

A person with talent hoped to be valued and appreciated, not wasted and used.

…

Edward had returned from his business trip early that morning.

He didn't even have time to rest before going straight to the company. After hours of back-to-back meetings, he finally wrapped up his work at nightfall.

Knowing that Janice was still waiting for him, he headed straight to her office.

"Finally, I get to see you! Just in time!"

Janice immediately put down what she was doing and pulled Edward inside, shutting the door behind them.

Outside, Harrison exchanged glances with the bodyguards. Did she really miss Edward that much?

Inside the room, Edward raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?"

Janice rested one arm against his waist. "I need a favor."

It wasn't often that she asked for help.

Edward leaned in slightly, listening carefully.

"There's this woman called Audrey. Look into her for me—especially her family. If she has any relatives, quietly relocate them near Prosper Stitch Group," she said in a lowered voice.
