Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62 

“Janice, you’re not still into Simón, are you?” 

“No www. I’d love nothing more than to see him sutler,” replied Janice as she shrugged off her reat. What happened to her was the perfect example of love turning into hate 

Jacob said, “Well, just think it over. I’ll stand with you in whatever choice you make.” 

He had meant to ask ii talward was into Janice, but he held back. Some things wouldn’t have to be asked out loud because no one would pretend to date someone they disliked just to appease their family. 

Even if it wasn’t love, Jacob was certain of one thing–Edward only had positive feelings for Janire. 

Janice fell asleep in exhaustion without bothering to take a short, she woke up the next morning at 9:30 am, freshened up, and changed before rushing to the office. 

There was going to be an important meeting today. She was surprised to find Edward attending the meeting as well 

the seemed vnfared as he calmly reviewed the data and Extened attentively. 

Pushing all her thoughts aside, Janice lensed entirely on her role as the presenter. Her clear speech and commanding preamer radiated a unique charm and decisiveness. 

“This crochet design doesn’t meet the standards. Take it back,” she said as she returned the artisan crochet. 

Sophie frowned. “How does it not meet the standards? 

“The style. The market is currently shifting toward a more authentic look. This feris too conventional like it’s printed on. You’re sill crocheting fish, birds, and flowers. Prosper Stitch Group nast diversity its crochet styles to cater to market demands.” 

Janice held up another piece of crochet design and identified it immediately, “This is broomstickerochet, in tit? Take a look, this plece meets the standards in both style and technique. Ms. Torres, bring in the seamstress who made this and have her fix the minor flaws if there’s anything she doesn’t understand, guide her.” 

For Emediately nodded. “Got it, Ms. Smith.” 

Being overshadowed by broomstick crochet for the Losttime, Sophie’s expression darkened. She retorted, “Artisan crochet has always dominated the crochet industry. As to broomstick crochet- 

“Crochet itself has no tier or hierarchy, Janice interrupted. She leaned forward to prop her hands against the table and pointed her pen. “Artisan crochet has led the market for years due to its craftsmanship, but sticking to the same patterns will lead to visual fatigue among customers. 

“Are you expecting people to wear cardigans with the same floral designs for decades? There will only be one outcome if you can’t reform and align with market trends.” 

And that would be elimination 

“I’ve reminded you, but you submitted pieces with the same old styles,” Janice said as she fixed her gaze on Sophie, who lowered her head and said nothing 

She didn’t think sticking to tradtion was bad. On the contrary, she saw it as honering tradition 

“You have a month and a half before the Winter Tournament. There will be two rounds to the tournament, one being acrochet contest and the other for double–face crochet. I’m gding you a month and a half. If you can’t deliver, I’m sorry, but broomstick crochet will have to take the lead.” 

Fiona glanced at Sophie and felt a spark of excitement. There was finally someone willing to look beyond artisan crochet and give broomstick crochet a chance. She was determined to prove herself 

“As for double–face crochet, we need to ensure……..” 

A phone rang 

Janice frowned. “Whose phone is that?” 

They all exchanged glances. All their phones were on mute. 

“Apologies, Ms. Smith ” 

The group turned to look at the source of the voice and widened their eyes in shock. Then, they quickly looked down and pretended not to have noticed. 

It was Edward. He apologized night away and immediately silenced the call 

Janice was deeply shocked to see that Edward was showing her respect. Now that the boss had silenced his phone during meetings and apologized for the disruption, who would ever dare act pass around in the meeting? 

Janice card her throat and braced herself to say, “I–I’m letting you off just this once” 

Edward nodded with a smile. “Thanks, Ms. Smith.” 

She was utterly speechless 

The meeting lasted two and a half hours. Once everyone else leti, Edward stayed behind. Only the two pertained in the coom.
