raising an eyebrow You're going to offer your skills? How can you possibly help him, Bella?
leans in closer, speaking softly Look, Happyur, I know we're friends, but remember, I grew up with pigs.
laughs Pigs? Are you serious, Bella?
whispers Yes, pigs. But let me explain. Growing up with them taught me a lot about resilience, adaptability, and resourcefulness.

laughs Well, color me impressed, Bella. You've got quite the entrepreneurial spirit. Who knew pigs could be so handy?

laughs You're full of surprises, aren't ya, Bella? Alright, I'm starting to see your potential. What's next?
claps her hands together excitedly Next, we need to gather our team and start the construction immediately.
