Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon)

Edward said, "I'm thinking of sending you back home first."

"You want to send me home?"

Janice slowly sat up. Her wounds stung a little, but the pain was manageable.

Her eyes, subtly enhanced with makeup, looked even more striking. They were deep and piercing. "Edward, hiding won't solve anything with people like them. I might not be able to deal with them abroad, but since they're heading to Greenfield City, we must ensure Onley Group knows who runs the crochet industry there."

After hearing Cortez's information, Janice immediately figured out the reason behind the sudden changes in the international crochet competition.

Onley Group planned to make a name for themselves first, then they would capitalize on the momentum to enter the domestic market and secure a foothold. After all, the world's biggest buyer market was in Cruznia.

"What are you doing?" Edward asked.

"I need to grab my laptop," Janice said.

He stopped her. "Just tell me what you need. Stay in bed."

She smiled. "So, even the mighty Mr. Moore is going to take orders from me?"

"You're the only one who can boss me around."

"What about Mrs. Moore?" Janice pressed.

Edward handed her the laptop. "My mom has maids for that."

He set up a small lap desk for her, adjusted her pillows, and ensured her water

and fruits were within reach on the bedside table.

"Do you want to watch a movie? I'll search it for you," he offered.

Janice blinked. "Who said anything about a movie? I have to finalize some designs, print them out, and start crocheting as soon as I return. I need to make the first move and show Onley Group who they're up against."

Otherwise, Onley Group would come after Prosper Stitch Group. So, why not take the initiative and make the first move?

Before she could do anything, Edward took the laptop away.

"Hey!" Janice snapped.

"You're supposed to be resting, not working," he said firmly.

She sighed. "In that case, will you do it for me?"

Edward thought about it briefly, then leaned back against the headboard with her.

She pointed at the screen. "Add a little detail here."

Although he had never studied art, he knew his way around Photoshop. With Janice's guidance, he made the necessary adjustments to her design.

"You're smarter than I thought," she remarked.

Edward chuckled. "No 'thank you"?"

"Thank you, my wonderful boyfriend." Her face lit up with a bright smile.

"That's it?"

Janice blinked, then leaned in. But Edward beat her to it and closed the distance first to keep her from. moving too much. That small gesture made her heart soften. noveldrama

She kissed his cheek. Her lips were soft and warm.

Edward pressed his tongue against his cheek chuckled, and continued working on the design. Once done, he took his laptop and moved to the couch beside the bed to continue his work.

Onley Group's vice president, Louis Jovarek, was on a phone call. "What do you mean?"

The head of the International

Crochet Union said, "Sorry, Mr. Jovarek. We appreciate your

generosity, but we believe it's best to keep things fair and impartial."
