Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 240

The person Janice had appointed to oversee the training institute was none other than Marie.

In Greenfield City's crochet industry, very few people had met her, and no one knew about her connection to Prosper Stitch Group or Janice.

Janice spent the entire day resting and working remotely from home.

By the afternoon, Sunny sent a message confirming that the client had agreed and the payment had already been processed.

Since the young lady was so decisive, Janice knew she couldn't afford to delay. Creating a complete bridal ensemble was a detailed and time-consuming process.

She reached out to the client to discuss any specific design preferences or crochet styles.

The young lady on the other end was bright and cheerful. "Hello, Ms. Smith! I don't have any particular requests—just as long as the set is personally crocheted by you!"

"Do you have any preferences for Artisan Crochet, Broomstick Crochet, or Capital Crochet?"

"Whichever you think is best!"

"Understood, Ms. Westwood."

Janice jotted down her contact information and immediately began sketching. Designing required both artistic flair and technical expertise.

"Janice?"

Janice looked up in surprise, her face brightening. "Jay? Why didn't you tell me you were coming home?"

"It's Memorial Day."

Was it really Memorial Day already?

Realizing how quickly time had passed, Janice asked Laura to prepare dinner early and even requested two of Jacob's favorite dishes.

"Are you sketching designs?" Jacob glanced over. "You've just recovered. Don't sit for too long. Let me help. Just tell me the key elements you want included."

Though Jacob studied finance, he had years of sketching experience from childhood, making him surprisingly skilled at design illustrations.

"Flames. I've already mapped out the framework, so see where they'd fit best."

Jacob examined the design carefully. "A red and green color scheme? It has a certain olden vibe to it. I've always found old-school bridal gowns to be so elegant. Adding a train would make it even more striking."

While Jacob refined the wedding gown sketch, Janice sat next to him, focused on designing the matching veil.

They collaborated seamlessly, with Janice occasionally glancing over to ensure their designs were in harmony.

"Jay, you still have two or three years left in grad school, right?" she asked.

Hearing this, Jacob looked up and paused for a moment. "Janice, I'm thinking of doing a part-time graduate program. That way, I can start working with you sooner and help lighten the load. I don't need a salary; I'm mainly looking for experience. I've got enough savings."

The reason he said that was because Jacob knew Refined Threads Co. had been transferred to Janice's name, and he was certain Edward had played a part in it.

Given that Edward didn't mind Janice's past with Simon and had even helped her take revenge, Jacob thought it was only right to acknowledge him this way.

The sudden address left Janice momentarily speechless.

Edward was also briefly taken aback but quickly regained his composure, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Hello, Jacob. When did you get here?"

"This morning," Jacob replied, standing up. "I'll leave you two to talk."

"I was just stopping by to check-in. Go ahead and continue your discussion," Edward said, exiting the study first.

He had already asked Harrison to keep an eye on Jacob's academic progress to ensure that Janice wouldn't have to worry. Edward knew Jacob was nearing graduation and had chosen a part-time master's program.

At dinner that evening, Edward asked, "So, Jacob, are you interested in joining Prosper Stitch Group?"

Janice looked up. "What?"

Jacob's eyes brightened. "Edward, would that be too much trouble?"

The warmth in his voice was music to Edward's ears. If he couldn't even help Jacob with a job, how could he call himself Janice's protector?

"Come if you want, but you'll start as a secretary."
