After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 854

Isabella gave him a warm smile. “Most men might not have a sweet tooth, but not all. Everyone has their own taste, nothing to be shy about. Each pastry we make has its own special flavor. York, you should try them at your own pace.”

York grinned. “Then why don’t you pick a few for me? If I like them, I’ll be back often. Once my company is up and running, we’ll need snacks for the staff every afternoon. Maybe you could supply them for us.”

His suggestion made both women pause. Why hadn’t they thought of that before? They could do more than just serve walk-in customers. Partnering with companies to supply afternoon tea and treats could really open up new opportunities.

“Thanks for thinking of us,” Isabella said with a soft laugh, but she didn’t promise anything. Who could say when York’s company would actually open? And even if it did, would he really choose to work with them?

She honestly didn’t know much about him yet. Was he trustworthy, or was there something darker behind that charming smile? Supplying food to a big company meant taking on a lot of risk, especially when it came to food safety. If someone wanted to cause trouble, it wouldn't be hard to tamper with the food and blame her. Even if she could clear her name, that would take time, and her reputation—and business—could be ruined in the process.

With all that on her mind, Isabella decided she wasn’t ready to take on corporate clients just yet. The shop was doing well enough. After covering costs and paying her staff, she was already turning a profit. She didn’t want to get greedy and end up bringing trouble on herself, especially now that she had rivals like Natalie and Nadine watching her every move.
