After taking a photo, the two women left with smiles on their faces. Just before walking away, they secretly snapped a photo of Edward and Janice strolling side-by-side.
To them, it was clear that Edward and Janice of Prosper Stitch Group were definitely a couple. They were even grocery shopping together.
As the two women walked off, they started whispering.
"Edward is so young and handsome," one of them said.
"Money really changes everything, huh?" the other replied with a touch of envy in her voice. "I'm jealous of any woman who's got a boyfriend like that."
"And Janice looks even better in person than in photos," the first woman added.
…
Edward and Janice left the mall after finishing their grocery shopping. Edward was driving, with bodyguards in a car trailing behind.
"I'm taking the next two days off," he said, his eyes on the road.
Janice raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You're really taking two days off?" she asked with a hint of disbelief in her voice.
With a company as big as theirs, there was always something going on. The chairman was often busier than the employees, and even rest time had to be squeezed in.
"To spend time with you," he replied.
Edward rarely drove himself. Janice watched him as he drove, her gaze softening with tenderness.
She had a thing for tall men, men who looked good when they were driving, and men with great singing voices. Of course, those were just her preferences. She didn't expect her partner to have all of them. But so far, Edward met the first two.
"We haven't really had any time to rest since we got together," Edward said. "How about we go shopping or watch a movie?"
A simple life was what Janice had always longed for. But now, it felt like a luxury.
Noticing her silence, Edward glanced at her. "You don't have a choice; you need to take a break. Your boyfriend needs some attention too," he said.
Janice sighed. "But I have so much work to do—"
"Are the people you're paying just sitting around doing nothing?" Edward cut her off. "If you have to do everything yourself, what's the point of having them?"
"Alright, alright!" Janice laughed, finally giving in. "The boss has spoken. How can I say no?"
Before they arrived home, Janice forwarded Barbara's crochet designs to the supervisors. She instructed the seamstresses on the specially formed National Museum crochet team to start working on them right away.
