Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 158

Janice was applying a face mask, and her tone was unhurried. "Bank transfers tend to be delayed around the end of the year, especially for such a large sum. What's the rush?"

"I need to buy raw materials now. I urgently need the money."

The seamstresses had been bombarding him with calls for the past two days, demanding payment. Today, his phone had nearly exploded from all the calls.

He had promised to pay them before New Year's, but Janice's money still had not arrived.

When she heard about the price increase, she instantly guessed what Edward was up to.

She cooperated and asked, "How about this? Go ahead and place the order. Just sign an IOU with the supplier. The funds I transferred will definitely arrive within three days. Securing the materials is the priority."

Simon hesitated. "Are you sure the money will be here in three days?"

"You don't trust me?"

"It's not that. But even with five million dollars, there might not be enough left to pay the seamstresses after placing the order." Simon hesitated for a moment. "Janice, why don't you lend me another one million dollars?"

The wages would not require a full one million dollars, but he needed the extra to cover his personal expenses. He was completely broke.

His account had been frozen for months. Unless Janice vouched for the legitimacy of his funds, that money would remain locked forever.

Thinking of this, Simon made up his mind and said, "Janice, I'll come find you. Let's talk in person."

He had expected her to refuse. To his surprise, she agreed without hesitation, "Sure. I'll send my location. Come find me."
