Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 173

Tonight, Edward took Janice to an exceptionally upscale restaurant. It was one of the most exclusive spots in Greenfield City and was nearly impossible to book.

Since it was peak dining hours, they ran into several groups of people as they walked in.

"Mr. Moore!" someone called out in surprise.

Another group greeted him as well, "Mr. Moore, you're here too?"

Then, all eyes shifted to the woman holding his hand. The moment they got a clear look at Janice's face, realization dawned.

Edward, as calm as ever, simply said, "My girlfriend."

Girlfriend.

The chairman of Prosper Stitch Group just confirmed it himself.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the others immediately turned to greet Janice.

Some called her "Ms. Smith", while others even greeted her as "Mrs. Moore". She responded with ease, not showing the slightest bit of nervousness. She maintained the perfect facade of composure and grace.

But just as she was handling the small talk, Edward suddenly pulled her into a private dining room and pressed her lightly against the wall.
