Having known Simon for so many years, Janice was well aware of his tricks.
"Did Simon contact you?" Edward asked casually.
"Yes. We met." Janice was driving home as she spoke.
Edward did not say much more. "I have something to take care of. We'll talk later."
"Alright."
From the way he was dressed, he was probably heading out.
When she got home, Janice contacted the cemetery management and changed the registered contact number to her own. After that, she and Yvonne arranged the onboarding process for the new seamstresses.
At this stage, she planned to select a group of experienced seamstresses, along with those willing to work abroad, and send them to Prosper Stitch Group's overseas division. Transferring personnel was time-consuming.
By the time she was done with everything, evening had fallen, and Simon called again.
"Janice, are you busy? Let's have dinner together. I specifically reserved a table at your old favorite restaurant." His tone was filled with apparent goodwill. However, favors from him never came without hidden motives.
Janice's guard went up instinctively. "What time?"
"If you're free now, I can pick you up."
"No need. Just send me the address."
"That works."
After hanging up, she soon received a text from Simon.
"Are you going out, Janice?" asked Jacob.
"Yes. Simon asked me to dinner."
"Why are you still in contact with him?" Jacob's brows furrowed together.
"I haven't seen him fall yet. Of course, I have to stay connected. By the way, where's that special hangover remedy at home?"
