After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 53

Isabella paused for a moment, then smiled. “Honestly, everyone these days is obsessed with short videos. Watching a whole drama feels like a full-time job, but a mini-series? Each episode is just two minutes long. You can binge a hundred episodes before you even realize it.”

“And the best part is, there’s no filler. Every episode is packed with twists and drama, everything moves so fast. It’s like the fast food of TV shows, which is exactly what people want right now.”

“That’s why I thought I’d get in early and invest before the market gets crowded. Once these short dramas take over, everyone will want a piece. By then, it’ll be way harder to make money.”

That’s how business works. You need to catch the trend at the right moment if you want to cash in before the competition shows up. When everyone else piles in, it’s time for the early birds to move on before things go downhill.

Ethan watched her quietly for a while, then finally asked, “I heard you’re looking at storefronts. Are you thinking of buying or just renting?”

She was making things up, but he didn’t bother calling her out. Whoever convinced her to get into short dramas, that was her problem. If she made money, good for her. If she lost it all, well, that was her own doing. He’d already given her that ten million.

But that was it. If she lost that money, he wasn’t about to hand her more. After that, she’d just get a little allowance every month and settle into being his wife at home.

Isabella said, “I’ll rent for now. Buying a place would cost too much, and I need a big space. I want to open a coffee shop and a bookstore together. One side for books, the other for coffee.”

“You could grab a book, order a coffee, and just chill. Cafes and bookstores are always so peaceful. I think that would be really nice.”

Ethan replied, “You won’t make much from a shop like that, but if you’re just looking for a little income to cover your expenses, it’s not a bad idea.”

A guy like him would never waste his time running a shop.

Isabella shrugged. “I’ve never done business before, and I have no idea what else would actually make money. At least with a shop, as long as I can pay the rent and get by, I’ll feel good about it. Having that freedom is what matters to me.”

“Ethan, what kinds of projects is your company investing in now? Could you let me try investing with you? Maybe I could earn a little extra?”
