Chapter 314 "Small Opportunities" Opens
Bella reached out and held Anna's hand. At that moment, their hearts were tightly connected, as if all their worries and anxieties drifted away with the gently swaying leaves outside the window, leaving only an infinite hope and firm belief in the future.
Anna pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, her tone carrying a hint of concern. She turned to Bella, a worried expression on her face. "But speaking of worries, I think you might have more to deal with. Sterling is quite cunning and manipulative. Do you think he might have someone watching you? We should stay vigilant and be careful."
Bella's expression grew serious at Anna's words. She knew Sterling's character and methods well and couldn't afford to be careless. Taking a deep breath, she said, "You're right. Sterling might do something like that. But since we've decided to leave and start anew, we can't let the shadows of the past hold us back. I'll keep an eye out. Even if he has someone watching, he won't do anything to me. Don't worry."
They exchanged a smile, understanding that the road ahead was long and filled with unknowns and challenges. In this medium-sized city, Bella and Anna began a new chapter of their lives.
Putting aside unnecessary worries, Anna cheerfully suggested, "Bella, didn't you say you wanted to open a dessert shop? I think it's a great idea. We need an income to support ourselves. Let's do it together."
Bella looked at Anna, her eyes filled with a gentle smile. "Sure, but I might not have much to invest initially. We'll have to rely on your funds at first, and I'll gradually contribute more later."
Anna immediately pulled out her bank card and waved it. "Don't worry about that. My mom gave me this card, and there's enough money in it for our initial investment. Between us, there's no need to differentiate. Use my money for now. When you have more funds, we'll plan our future together."
Looking at the bank card in Anna's hand, Bella felt a surge of complex emotions. She knew this card symbolized more than just money; it represented Anna's trust and support. After everything that had happened over the years, Anna had always stood by her side unwaveringly.
"Thank you, Anna. We will succeed," Bella said, her eyes glistening with tears.
Anna gently hugged Bella. "Bella, thank you too. As long as you're by my side, I'm not afraid of anything. Let's start tomorrow. We'll find a place to learn dessert and drink-making skills, then look for a suitable storefront. I believe we can do it!"
They smiled at each other, feeling that all difficulties and challenges were insignificant at that moment. They held each other's hands tightly, as if transmitting endless strength and courage.
"To the future!" Anna shouted, her voice full of power and determination. Bella joined in, "To the future!"
The next day, Bella and Anna got busy. They asked around and finally found a reputable dessert and drink training institute. There, they learned various dessert-making methods and drink-mixing techniques, spending their days productively and happily.
They also started looking for a storefront, exploring every corner of the city. Eventually, they found a suitable location in a bustling area. Although the rent was high, they believed the investment was worth it due to the foot traffic and prime location.
In the following days, Bella and Anna began their intense preparations. They personally handled everything, from renovating the store to purchasing ingredients, meticulously attending to every detail.
They knew this was just the first step on their entrepreneurial journey, and there was a long road ahead.
Three months flew by, and the dessert shop "Small Opportunities," created by Anna and Bella, finally made its debut in the busy district, celebrating its grand opening.
Bella had chosen the name "Small Opportunities," symbolizing the chance for both of them and hoping every customer who walked in would find their opportunity.
Reflecting on the past three months, they felt both fulfilled and exhausted, but their hearts were happy. Every day, they dedicated a lot of time and energy to learning and practicing. From making desserts to mixing drinks, they strived for perfection in every detail.
Although the three months were tiring, seeing their dream come true made all the effort worthwhile. They believed their dessert shop would thrive in the future.
On opening day, the shop was packed with customers eager to taste Anna and Bella's handmade desserts and drinks, which received rave reviews. Seeing their customers' satisfied smiles filled them with pride and satisfaction.
The first day of business exceeded Anna and Bella's expectations, with the shop bustling with activity. The crowd included trendy young people and busy professionals from the office building across the street. Unprepared for the overwhelming response, Anna and Bella had to divide tasks and give their all.
Anna worked tirelessly in the kitchen, expertly handling tools and carefully crafting each dessert and drink, her focus and passion evident in every creation.
Bella took on the role of server, warmly greeting each customer, patiently answering their questions, and recommending the best desserts and drinks.
Due to the lack of staff, they couldn't handle delivery orders. Despite this, they dedicated themselves to serving every customer, hoping to leave them with the best memories.
As evening approached and the customers gradually left, Anna and Bella finally breathed a sigh of relief. They exchanged a tired but satisfied smile. Though exhausted, the day's success made all their hard work worthwhile.
That night, they sat in the shop, reflecting on the day's events. Anna remarked, "I never expected our shop to be so popular. We need to hire staff quickly, or we won't be able to keep up."
