Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 18 Chapter 18

Janice never anticipated what kind of role she would have at Prosper Stitch Group. She even brought along her set of crochet tools, assuming she would be seated at a workbench, stitching away on projects. Little did she know....

At this moment, the VP of the Product Division came to greet her. "Ms. Smith,” he said, "let me show you to your office."

This VP was also newly appointed just two days ago. Previously, both the CEO and VP positions in the Product Division had been vacant.

To avoid any discontent caused by parachuted leadership, Edward delayed the announcement and appointed both leaders simultaneously. This way, no one could entertain unnecessary thoughts.

After all, in the Product Division, skill was everything. If you couldn't produce top-quality crochet, even the most senior employees wouldn't make it into management.

Sunny led her into the office and gestured. “Ms. Smith, take a look.”

Outside the office's glass walls stood a neighboring high-rise, its height perfectly matching theirs.

"The office directly across from you belongs to Mr. Moore," Sunny explained. "There's a private wallway between the two buildings; it's just over 20 yards to their side, which houses the Business Administration Department. Meanwhile, this entire building is dedicated to Product Development.

"The first 30 floors are for seamstress workspaces. Floors 31 to 50 are for management, and the 51st floor is right here," she added.

Janice quietly marveled at the sheer opulence of Prosper Stitch Group, which owned not one but two towering buildings. By comparison, Refined Threads Co. only had one building. They had planned to construct another office tower by year's end, but without her crochet to help, she wondered if Simon could still afford it. "I heard Prosper Stitch employs over 50 thousand seamstresses. Can 30 floors really accommodate that many?" Janice asked.

"Our 30 floors are divided into five departments: Broomstick Crochet, Capital Crochet, Artisan Crochet, Riverside Crochet, and Double -Sided Crochet. The seamstresses working here are the elite, the rest work in factories.

"Most importantly, you'll be in charge of the Double-Sided Crochet Department moving forward. Later, the heads of the other four departments will come by to meet you. Here's their personal information."

Sunny placed a file on the desk after finishing her explanation.

On her first day, Janice didn't have much time to idle. After Sunny left, she dove straight into familiarizing herself with her duties, which were almost identical to her role at Refined Threads Co.

She was responsible for selecting seamstresses for the company and screening quality crochet to send to headquarters. The main difference here was the sheer scale—there were twice as many seamstresses compared to Refined Threads Co.

Once she completed her tasks, Janice pulled out her Fall Tournament entry, ready to frame it herself. Just then, a loud knock came from the door.

“Come in,” she called out. Setting aside her work, she looked up to see four women walking in. All of them were dressed uniformly, and their ages varied.

"Ms. Smith, hello, I'm Isabella Channing. I'm in charge of Riverside Crochet," said the first.
