Chapter 330
Anastasia had a feeling that Gianna had been deceiving her from the very beginning. But she shrugged it off, thinking, why would Gianna have any reason to fool her? So without giving it much thought, Anastasia hopped into the car.
Gianna drove Anastasia to a restaurant and parked the car outside. She gestured towards the row of shops across the street.
“Anastasia, what do you think about those shops?” Gianna asked.
Anastasia glanced across, then surveyed her surroundings, “There are a lot of office buildings here, so ány shop in this area is prime real estate. It’s a great location, why do you ask?”
“I bought one of them. I’m planning on opening a coffee shop,” Gianna said with a smile, “Do you want to invest with me?”
“You bought one?” Anastasia was taken aback. A shop in this location would cost at least a few million dollars, “Where did you get so much money?”
Although Gianna came from a wealthy family, it wasn’t like they could just fork out millions on a whim.

“I sold two of my parents’ houses. They are currently living in one, and the money from selling the houses is now with me. I used it to buy this storefront, with the intention of opening my own coffee shop. This way, I’ll have income in the future to support myself.”
Anastasia couldn’t quite understand Gianna’s train of thought. “Why not just rent out the houses? Why open a coffee shop? Joey was eyeing those old houses. Aren’t you worried he will cause trouble since you sold them without his knowledge?”
Gianna snorted, “I wish he would.”
Anastasia furrowed her eyebrows, sensing something more behind Gianna’s words.
“Let’s go in and grab a bite” Gianna changed the topic, leading Anastasia into the restaurant. From their window-side table on the second floor, they could still see the shop across the street.
“Anastasia, would you consider investing? You can help me run the coffee shop. The money you make from working one year won’t compare to being a business
owner.”
Gianna was unaware of Herman’s true identity, or else she would not have suggested this.
Anastasia/shook her head, “No, thanks. I’m not familiar with running a business. I’d rather stick to my job.” She really wasn’t interested. Moreover, doing business with cousins often led to disputes, especially when it was about profits. She and Gianna had just recently mended their relationship. She didn’t want to risk ruining it again.
“You’re worried about not having enough money to invest? Don’t worry about it. You don’t need to put in a dime. Just help out in the shop, and we can count it as a labor share, 20% for you and 80% for me. How does that sound?”

Not a single penny to invest, yet a 20% share in the business? Anastasia looked at Gianna in surprise, “Are you feeling okay?” Was she so rich that she was literally throwing money at her?
Gianna laughed, “I’ve just realized that you can only rely on siblings. Spouses can turn against each other, and parents won’t be with us forever. I’m an only child, and without siblings, I have no one to lean on in times of trouble. Anastasia, I hope we can be the closest of sisters. If you help me, I’ll help you in return. It’s only
natural.”
Her eyes full of sincerity, Gianna’s words touched Anastasia. She smiled, “I appreciate your kindness, but I really can’t get involved with the coffee shop. Herman wouldn’t agree to it either.”
She had agreed to learn business from Herman and was due to join Elysian Technologies next month. She didn’t have time to run a coffee shop.
“Why wouldn’t your husband agree?” Gianna asked, “Both of you are working hard for your money. With Pattie’s education costs coming up, surely the more money you can make, the better? I believe he should have finished work by now, why not invite him to join us for dinner?”
“Well…” Anastasia was at a loss for words. After a moment of hesitation, she said, “Herman has started a company, and I’m supposed to help him out next month.”
“What kind of company has Herman started?” Gianna asked curiously.
Anastasia explained, “Elysian Technologies. He started it.”
Gianna was stunned. Even those who had never worked a day in their life would have heard of Elysian Technologies. It was one of the top companies on the Fortune 500 list and belonged to the wealthiest man in Riverdale.
Gianna laughed, “Anastasia, you must be joking.”
