Isabella: whispering with a sneer Look at you... Ain't life kicked you in the teeth?
Life hasn't kicked me in the teeth, but you sure have.
Isabella: fidgeting with a diamond necklace, speaking softly Oh, I'm sorry, darling. You know how I am—always saying what I think.
You've never had an issue saying what you think before.
Isabella: crosses arms and huffs Well, maybe I've changed. Can't hurt to show a little kindness, right? softly touches Holland's arm
You have changed. Not for the better, but it makes a difference.
Isabella: smirking, leans in closer to Holland Well, I'm always open to change. Especially if it means getting rid of this loser vibe you've been giving off.
If you wanted to get rid of my vibe, you wouldn't be here talking to me.
Isabella: rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! Don't act like you're so important. You're just a nobody, begging for scraps.
And yet you chose me as your husband over your billionaire boyfriend.
Isabella: laughs sarcastically Chose you? Please, don't flatter yourself. I married you because... pauses, looking around nervously
You married me because...
Isabella: leans in closer, whispering Because you were the only one willing to put up with me. I mean, can you imagine actually being married to that boring billionaire guy? Yikes!
What's the matter, Isabella?
Isabella: speaking softly, fidgeting with her necklace The thing is, I've been thinking... Maybe this marriage isn't so bad after all.
Isabella: grinning mischievously I've been thinking about our future. And guess what? I have a brilliant idea to turn things around.
Isabella proposes starting a business selling handmade jewelry to help financially support themselves and give Holland a sense of purpose.
Isabella: claps her hands excitedly Yes, a business! We'll specialize in handmade jewelry. Think about it—unique pieces that people will drool over.
Isabella: pulls out a notebook and pen, scribbling down ideas We can source materials from local craft fairs and sell online.
Isabella: flips through her notebook, speaking rapidly Yeah! We can use social media to showcase our products. It's modern, it's trendy, and people love unique stuff. Plus, selling online eliminates the hassle of brick-and-mortar stores. We can do this on a shoestring budget, really. All we need is some initial capital to get started, and we're golden!
Shoestring budget? You mean my monthly stipulation for room and board?
Isabella: grabs Holland's hand, eyes sparkling with determination Oh no, darling! Your monthly stipend is barely enough for you to survive, let alone for us to start a business.
So, how much money do you need to start this jewelry business?
Isabella: paces back and forth, biting her lip nervously Well, we'll need some initial capital to buy materials, rent a small workspace, and maybe hire some help.
Isabella: waves her hand dismissively Oh, don't worry about that! We won't need anyone else for now. We can do everything ourselves, right?
Isabella: nervously taps her foot Well, technically, we could do it ourselves, but think of all the extra work it'll take!
Isabella: quickly scribbles on her notebook Exactly! But hey, don't worry. We can divide the tasks evenly. You can handle the rough work, like gathering materials and setting up the workspace, while I take care of the design and marketing. We're a team, right?
Isabella: grabs a pen and starts crossing items off her list Great! Now, let's figure out how much we need for initial capital.
