Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 258

Edward kissed Janice's earlobe. "I'll be gentle."

Janice slowly closed her eyes and began responding to his kiss. That night, they stayed up later than usual.

Edward's mind kept replaying the way Janice had been different tonight. She wasn't like before. Tonight, she exuded a unique allure—especially passionate and eager. At one point, he had nearly lost control.

"Janice, you're acting differently tonight. Did something happen while I was away these past few days?" Edward held her hand, pressing it gently in his palm.

Janice turned her head, her eyes curving mischievously. "It's because I missed you."

As CEO, she was always concise and decisive in speech, swift and efficient in action. But in private with him, she would sometimes soften her tone and even show a playful side. Edward found it utterly endearing.

"By the way, the overseas price reduction plan I proposed—do you think it'll work?" Janice asked, shifting to business.

"Onley Group won't agree to it that easily," Edward replied.

Janice thought for a moment. "They must have spent quite a bit trying to force us into losses, right?"

"Easily over several hundreds of millions. Over there, people have no choice but to restrict our goods due to the pressure exerted by Onley Group. But fortunately, a few have reached out to me privately to buy from us," Edward said lightly.

But Janice knew this was no small matter. It wasn't just about not making money anymore; it was about taking massive losses.

"Give me a few days off. I need to go somewhere."

"For what?"

"If Onley Group can block our goods in their own market, why can't we stop them in ours? After working at Refined Threads Co. for years, I know plenty of store owners."

Janice didn't want Edward to keep throwing money to fight off competitors.

"Wait two days. I'll go with you."

"Absolutely not! You're the chairman of Prosper Stitch Group. How can you personally go around negotiating with store owners? I'll do it."

Her concern for him stirred something deep inside Edward. He fell silent for a long moment before saying, "I had Harrison order a custom-made display cabinet. You can put all the gifts you've received inside."
