I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Elffire City, Pedrarruna Manor.

Theo was recording the electric guitar section of the song.

He noticed that the time to go to the restaurant was near, and he wouldn't be able to record the vocals that day.

'I guess I will have to do that tomorrow before I have to go to the Tokyo Studios.' He thought as he exited the recording room.

'Talking about the task I gave them. How are they going?' He said inwardly after remembering that the candidates had less than a day to finish the animations.

"Sylph, show me how the candidates are going." He asked her as he sat down in his working station.

"Yes, master!" She appeared on his monitor and said.

Shortly after, images of the teams working appeared in front of him.

He looked at all of them and he could notice that all teams were working frantically to finish their projects before the deadline.

He noticed that most of them had eyebags of sleep deprivation, but they worked without complaining.

Theo was not surprised by that, he knew that most of these people were used to working more than 16 hours per day.

What he appreciated was their commitment to delivering a great project.

Theo focused on one of the teams as they seemed to be in the middle of something important.

In Team 19 Workspace.

The team worked more than ever in their lives.

The team members only slept two hours during the last 3 days.

After they finished drawing the frames, they noticed the amount of work they had to do to animate their story.

That was due to the difficulty of animating a magical creature like a dragon.

To animate a creature like a dragon, the animating team had to follow strict rules.

And the difficulty only increased because the creature only existed in their imaginations.

The team had to be completely in sync to finish the job.

And another problem they faced was background design, they chose to use a volcano when they created the story.

But this was difficult work to do in so little time.

It was then that Bruno volunteered to work in the background.

This was his favorite part of the animation process, and he wanted to deliver an amazing work.

He has been drawing and animating the background together with another 8 people.

"Bruno, you had to finish this background before midnight." Urata said as he stopped by to see their work.

"We need to start putting together all pieces by midnight. This way we work until 2 pm to finish all procedures." He said with a worried voice.

That's right, team 19 planned to not sleep that night so that they could finish their project.

But they were not the only ones, the rest 34 teams planned to do the same thing.

It couldn't be helped, this was once in a lifetime chance.

They wanted to do their best to grab this chance.

Bruno lifted his head from his work and said in a tired voice, "Don't worry, leader. We will be finished by then. The only problem is that we need to coordinate with character frames to know where in the background they want the characters."

"We can solve that after we start putting the pieces together at midnight." Urata replied.

The two of them started talking about the details of their works.

Theo watched them with shining eyes, he noticed that the background work of this team was promising.

He was looking forward to seeing their final results.

Theo was very satisfied as he looked at all teams.

He already could see these people working to produce his animes.

They would be the backbone of his studio.

Theo looked at the clock and noticed that it was time to go to the restaurant.

He stood up and went to his bedroom.

He took a shower and exited his room dressed in blue jeans, black boots, an anime T-shirt of [Magic Girls], and a leather jacket.

With his godly face, silver hair, and silver eyes, he looked like a model wearing casual clothes for a photo shoot.

Even more with his anime shirt, if someone saw Theo they would never believe such a beautiful person liked animes.

But Theo was an otaku without any shame.

Theo drove his car to the restaurant alone.

Aurora stayed at home to study for her exams with her friends that were still in their house.

Theo hummed songs until he arrived near his restaurant.

He noticed that he was late for service, so after he parked his car he ran toward the building.

When he entered the kitchen, he saw that everyone else was already in their uniforms waiting for him.

"Sorry, sorry, guys. I will get in my uniform and we can start!" He exclaimed as he ran into the dressing room.

They laughed when they saw their boss doing that.

Theo was always perfect, so when they saw him doing a mistake they felt like he was human in the end after all.

Ayia laughed when she saw that.

The last time she saw Theo was last Wednesday, and she missed him so much.

She was a little nervous about seeing him again, but seeing his silly antics her nervous heart calmed a little.

There was nothing to be worried about, she noticed.

"Hey, guys! Sorry for arriving late." Theo said with an apologetic face when he exited the dressing room.

"Don't worry, boss!"

"Yeah, it happens to all of us."

"But we will remember!"

They laughed happily.

Theo could only smile wryly when he saw them laughing.

He turned his head and stole a glance at Ayia.

When he turned his head, his eyes met hers.

They both smiled at the same time when noticed that.

Both reached a tacit agreement to talk after the service ended.

"Come on, guys. Let's start this party." Theo smiled at all of them after they finished laughing.

"Yes, chef!" they shouted back.

The kitchen staff of 'The Spark' Restaurant started another night of work.

The restaurant celebrated 2 months since its opening last Thursday, and business couldn't be better.

Even though Theo's restaurant was not as famous as the Aether Starred Restaurants in town, 'The Spark' had a steady stream of customers that adored their food.

Theo didn't even want to compete with these restaurants, because he could only compete after getting his own Aether Star.

So, he just strived to deliver his best work every night he cooked.

The service that night went by without any problems, all the clients left the restaurant satisfied.

Theo checked the influx of clients with June after he finished cooking.

Afterward, he went into the dressing room to undress his chef uniform.

When he left the room wearing the clothes he arrived with, he saw Ayia waiting for him in the kitchen.

She was looking through her phone and didn't notice that he arrived.

But when he got close, she lifted her head and saw him.

She dressing black high boots, black jeans, a white T-shirt, and a black leather jacket.

She looked like a badass supermodel.

And when she smiled at him, her golden eyes shone.

Theo walked directly toward her and hugged the beautiful girl.

Ayia was not taken by surprise this time.

Hugging Theo felt natural to her.

They did not say anything, they just felt each other's scent and warmth.

​ "I missed you..." Ayia whispered.

"I missed you too." Theo replied in a low voice.

They let go of each other, they looked at each other and smiled.

They could feel each other's feelings.

They started walking out of the restaurant.

Their hands touched once in a while, but they did not hold hands.

'Maybe another...' they both thought.

"Do you wanna come to my house on Monday?" Theo asked when they got out of the restaurant.

"Yes! I would love to!" Ayia replied excitedly.

She wanted to spend more time with Theo, but she didn't know how.

Hearing Theo's invite, her heart warmed.

"That's great!"

"We don't have to worry about working so we can enjoy our time without any problems." Theo said with a smile.

Ayia nodded with shining eyes.

They hugged each other again when they arrived near their cars.

Theo walked toward his car and Ayia toward hers.

Ayia could see Shizuka smirking at her from the car, and her face became red when she saw her sister's expression.

But she was still happy.

She had a date with Theo!

She couldn't wait for Monday to arrive.
