Chapter 28

At first, Herman didn’t get it. He was holding a mask, looking at Anastasia with a puzzled expression.

Anastasia helplessly said, “You’re too good–looking. Those girls don’t even dare to approach you, how am I supposed to do business?”

Realizing her words could be misconstrued, she quickly added, “Honey, I’m not complaining about you. In fact, the more wonderful something is, the more people tend to respect it and not dare to be disrespectful If your handsome face attracts other girls‘ attention, then I’m the one at a loss!”

This was the first time Anastasia had voluntarily called Herman “honey” except when necessary.

Feeling delighted, Herman put on his mask and said, “Alright then”

Anastasia smiled contentedly and then turned to the passersby saying, “Ladies, take a look. These accessories are one–of–a–kind, made by my own

hands.”

“Miss, I also take custom orders. Whatever you want, just tell me. All these accessories are handmade..”

Anastasia was very enthusiastic when attracting customers. Her sweet talk quickly drew the attention of some girls. Every piece of jewelry Anastasia made was very delicate, unique, and interesting, with various styles. Whether it was earrings, hair clips, or rings, they were all very beautiful

To showcase her jewelry, Anastasia also wore some of her own creations on her head and hands. She was very beautiful, with lovely brown hair and smooth skin. The jewelry on her only added to her beauty, attracting a lot of customers.

Girls loved these unique accessories, and Anastasia’s prices were quite reasonable, 30 dollars for one, and 50 dollars for a more complex design.

Even the simplest piece took Anastasia an hour to make, while more complex pieces required half a day. Her selling point was handmade crafts, and coupled with the good designs, these female students who were not short of money were willing to buy

from the side, calculating the cost of Anastasia selling jewelry. The materials for these pieces were not
