Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 87 Chapter 817 It sounded like Edward was in a car.

"Edward?" "Il be on a business trip for about a week," madward's calm vole cthrough from the other end of the line. "If anything comes up, don't hesitate to callJanice lowered her gase, "okay. Then... Take care of yourself." After Edward left for his business trip abroad, the reorganized crochet department gradually got back on track. Under Janice's leadership, the double-sided crochet team began growing at a noticeable pace.

Janice's days were packed with teaching and overseeing the team. Before she realized it, the first snowfall had arrived in Grendedor Edward had been pone for a full week and still hadn't returned The snow cearlier this year than usual, dusting the city in white even though it was only the beginning of November, "Ms. Smith, Mrs. Moore has arched at the company. She's asking to see you." During this time, Janice had barely seen Edward, but rumors about their relationship hadn't died down at all. Her dally commute in Edward's Rolls-Royce Cullinan had only fueled the speculation.

"Mr. Moore's mother?" Janice put down her pen, acontused look on her face.

Edward was on a business trip abroad and wasn't in the orice.

with that thought in mind, Janice figured Edward's mother, Barbara Thompson, was probably here for her. Janice stood up and then started walking out as she asked, "Did she calone? Sunny shook her head. "She cwith Ms. Ryan" Janice's are turned sharp as she headed toward the financial building. If this were a family introduction, she might have felt a little nervous.

But this wasn't that With Heidi tagging along. It was clear they were here to cause trouble.

Whether it was for her future or for the seamstresses under her, Janice knew one thing for sure- she couldn't back down.

"Ms. Thompson, she abused her authority and fired an experienced seamstress who had been working for Prosper Stitch Group for years. Now the outside world is accusing the company of being ungrateful and burning bridges. Doesn't this tamish everything Edward has worked so hard to build?" Heidi sighed. "Treally don't want to interfere in the company's affairs, but I can't stand by and watch Edward's efforts go to waste. The Winter Tournament starts next week. If they fail to qualify for the international event, won't all of Edward's work this year have been for nothing? You know how hard he always works." Hearing Heidi's words, Barbara felt sorry for her son and frowned she was a mother who supported her children in starting their own businesses, but any mother would find it hard to accept someone destroying her child's hard work If Sophie hadn't brought her complaints to Barbara directly, the latter wouldn't even have considered stepping into Prosper Stitch Group's affairs.

But Barbara wasn't the only one frowning. Marilda, who had just returned from abroad, also had her brows furrowed.

When she heard Heidi's words, she shot back, "Heidi, do you know Prosper Stitch Group that well?- Heidi smiled and replied, "I may not work at Prosper Stitch Group, but I've spent plenty of tin the crochet industry Seamstresses are the heart of a crochet business. It's Wrong to be deceitful or form cliques-these things are unacceptable anywhere." Matilda suppressed a sigh. If Heidi weren't so close to her elder brother, she would have already firedback ather. "Marida, you're too trusting of people," Heidi continued. "I grew up with you and Edward. Of course, I want what's best for Prosper Stitch Group. Don't let yourself get fooled by someone with ulterior motives." Matilda didn't even spare her a glance Just then, a polite knock interrupted the conversation.

Barbara took a sip of water, her expression calm and composed. She excluded an ale of listelleet and quiet confidence. "Cin." The door to the VIP reception room opened, and Janice stepped aside.

At first glance, Barbara was stunned by the young woman's appearance.

Janice was indeed exceptionally beautiful. She had a great presence, and there was nothing Seductive about her. The first impression was that she was sharp and composed, and she wasn't someone easily manipulated. It was no wonder Edward kept such a close eye on her.

"Hello, Mrs. Moore. I'm Janice Smith," Janke greeted Barbars and introduced herself.

Barra's lips curled into a sulle.

"Takrat. I know Edward ha't in town, but thappened to be passing byland thought id drop by to check on EPPY things, also wanted to hear how the double sidedcrochet initiative is progressing I'm personally quite fond of double-sided crochet pieces." Janice knew that wasn't what Barbara really wanted tu discuss. "If you're interested, I could bring you to look at the team's work area. The seamstresses are all present right now." a bat far. There's no pared to trouble Ma Thompson like that," Heidi inummediately refused un Barbara's behalf

Barbara furrowed her how slightly, then quickly changed the subject.

"Actually, I heard that you're om managing the crochet department, while Exward in abroad, Ma, Sanith. So, T- Thought I'd is it possible for Heidi to join the company? She studied crochet as well, and I believe she could be of help here, what do you think?!
