Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 293

"Not at all. Showcasing the designs to the world is also a way to contribute to the country," Janice said with a smile.

"Ed, when you have some free time, take Janice out for a change. Don't just focus on work all the time," Barbara reminded her son.

It was easier said than done.

Edward barely had time as it was. Ever since Janice shot to fame, his workload had more than doubled. There were times when they didn't even see each other for a whole week.

After a moment of thought, he said, "Once I return from this business trip, I'll take you out. It coincides with the Labor Day holiday, and the company will be closed then."

Prosper Stitch Group might be a crochet company, but the employees worked around the clock. That said, they never required anyone to work overtime on holidays. Of course, seamstresses who chose to work on their projects during the break were compensated for their extra hours.

"You're going on another trip?" Barbara frowned. "Where are you going this time, and how long will you be gone?"

"It's in Cruznia. I'm planning to acquire and merge some smaller raw material factories to create a dedicated supply chain for Prosper Stitch Group. Having our own factories will ensure we're not at the mercy of suppliers. I also need to negotiate with some exclusive distributors."

Edward wasn't exaggerating-his schedule was packed. The day after he mentioned the trip, he had already left.

Janice couldn't stay idle, so she went to the company.

Marie was scheduled to deliver a report from Refined Threads Co. in the middle of the month. She usually dropped it off and left, but this time, she stuck around.
