Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 268

"Mhm." Janice set down her pen, looking utterly baffled. "Do you think there's something wrong with his brain?"

"He's just jealous you built a factory in Yewford Town," Edward said, hitting the nail on the head. "He probably thinks that if he sweet-talks you enough, you'll go back to working for him."

"As if!" Janice smacked the table. "If Yewford Town didn't have so many skilled seamstresses and business owners, I wouldn't have come back at all."

Hating a place because of one person was completely possible.

But back when she was a kid, the neighbors had helped Seraphina. And there were so many talented seamstresses here, women who couldn't leave home even if they wanted to.

That was why she was willing to manage this factory herself.

Edward shifted the topic. "The location for the next factory has already been decided. Do you want to check it out yourself, or should I send someone?"

"I'm going myself."

"If you do, use Refined Threads Co.'s name during recruitment," Edward suggested, once again giving Refined Threads Co. a boost.

Just like how the Yewford Town factory—capable of employing 2,000 seamstresses—was publicly known as a Prosper Stitch Group investment, but in name, it was still a Refined Threads Co. branch.

When Edward said he would support Refined Threads Co., he wasn't just saying empty words.

"You already let me borrow the name once. That's enough. The other factories won't carry the Refined Threads Co. brand. I never planned on expanding the company too much. I just want to focus on high-end products."

Edward chuckled. "Refined Threads Co. does high-end products while Prosper Stitch Group does mass production. Isn't that the perfect balance?"

Something about his words softened Janice's heart. She leaned in slightly toward the screen. "Edward, you're seriously so generous."

"You mean the fact that I'm not mad even though Simon won't leave you alone?"

Janice fell silent.

"First of all, I trust you. In a relationship, trust is the most important thing. Just like how you never question what I do when I'm away. As for Simon clinging to you? That's his problem. I have no reason to take it out on you. As long as we're good, none of that matters."

His voice had a way of easing the exhaustion in her nerves.

"Edward, you're amazing."

He laughed. "Oh? You think I'm amazing?"

"Super amazing!"
