I am the Entertainment Tycoon

"Dinner is ready!" Theo shouted with a big smile on his face.

"Yay!" Everyone was excited about dinner.

"Someone help me bring the dishes to the table." Theo asked as he picked up a steaming hot pot filled with ramen broth.

"Leave it to me!" Max exclaimed as he jumped out from his seat to help Theo.

"Me too!" Kin chimed in.

"That's the least you can do! You lazy boys!" Lauren snorted loudly.

The girls laughed when they heard that.

Theo, Max, and Kin were the only boys in the group.

And because the girls could not find any fault in Theo, poor Max and Kin suffered the most at the hands of these girls.

Especially Max, because his girlfriend Lauren had a high strong personality and liked to boss him around.

But deep down he liked being bossed around, so he did not complain.

A while later, the food was placed on the table and everyone got in their seats.

The table was enormous and everyone was able to seat at the wooden table.

Theo was seated at the table head as the owner of the house.

Aurora was seated on his immediate right and Ayia was seated on his left.

Shizuka was seated beside Ayia and June was seated beside Aurora.

Sam, Sayuri, Kimiko, Shoko, Lauren, Max, Gwen, and Kin were seated in the other seats.

Almost every cook from his kitchen had come.

Only Hideko and Tim didn't come, but that was not because Theo didn't invite them.

Theo did invite them, but Hideko and Tim refused because they both had spouses and children.

They wanted to enjoy their day off with their family.

Everyone looked at Theo as they waited for him to say something before they started eating.

"Why is everyone looking at me?" He asked with an innocent face.

His act would be perfect if he was not swirling the wine cup that he was holding.

"Stop pretending!"

"Yeah, you can't fool us!"

"I'm hungry!"

The others started throwing accusations at him.

Theo laughed when he saw their antics.

"Okay, Okay. I will talk!" Theo shouted over their loud voices.

They shut up when they heard his voice.

Theo gave a wry smile as he saw that.

"First of all, I would like to say thank you to each one of you for coming here on this snowy night." Theo started with a brilliant smile on his face.

"I can say for me and Aurora that we both appreciate your visit to our house." Theo declared as he gave Aurora a look.

Aurora nodded her head and smiled when she heard that.

Ever since their parents died, it has been only her and Theo.

She loved her brother more than anything in the world, and she could spend eternity with him.

But sometimes the two of them wanted to interact with other people.

That's when their friends entered.

Over the last months, Aurora and Theo made friends with these people.

And little by little they became friends and then close friends.

It all started when they all met each other at Aurora's birthday party.

That night their friendship was bonded over alcohol and stories.

Even though Theo was an introverted person, that didn't mean he was uncomfortable with having more friends.

The 11 people who came that night were people that Theo appreciated.

The first he met was Sam, he met her when he received his first mission from the system.

He had just transmigrated and he did not know much about this word when he met her.

Theo changed the course of Sam's life.

Without Theo, she would still be trying to save money to pay for her college degree.

But now, she didn't even have a college degree and she was already the boss of a big company.

That showed the amount of trust that Theo had in her.

The second one he met was Sayuri.

Their meeting was by chance as Theo dreamed of having his own manga publishing house.

The company was about to declare bankruptcy when Theo bought it.

And with this awful history, Theo trusted the company on her hands to manage.

He trusted in her, the person who almost broke the company, to lift up the company.

Sayuri would always be grateful for his trust in her.

The third one was another chance encounter.

Theo met Ayia when he was buying food to take to an orphanage.

What if they never ran into each other?

Their lives would be completeçy different as it would be unlikely for someone like Ayia to associate with a normal person like Theo.

After all, her family was one of the founding families of the country.

Her status was so high that she could be considered a princess.

Ayia did not even like to imagine this scenario as she could not imagine her life without Theo, Aurora, and the others.

The fourth meeting was June, the manager who was hired by Theo to take care of his restaurant.

Theo could not ask for a better manager for his restaurant.

And the way that June took care of Aurora when the girl wanted to help in the restaurant made Theo like June even more.

The fifth meeting was with Ayia's sister, Shizuka, the forever calm girl that took care of Ayia since they were little.

At first, Shizuka suspected that Theo had other intentions with Ayia when she heard from him.

But when she met him she had to admit that he was the complete opposite of what she thought.

He never once looked at Ayia or other girls with lust.

His eyes were always clear and crystalline without any ounce of dirt on them.

He always looked people straight in the eyes.

Which was an amazing feat as Ayia and Shizuka were used when talking with men for them to glance at their chests.

The two girls had amazing bodies, so they attracted the attention of every man.

But for the first time, they met a man who looked into their eyes without looking at their chests.

And girls kne]w when guys looked at their chests, so they were beyond impressed when they never once felt Theo looking at their breasts.

And when they ruled out the possibility of Theo being gay, girls also have an acute gaydar, they were even more shocked.

That was one of the reasons that made Shizuka not oppose Ayia pursuing Theo as a romantic partner.

The sixth meeting was with the 4 friends that came to Elffire City after an internship in Theo's kitchen.

Kimiko, Shoko, Max, and Lauren arrived hoping for small roles as interns.

But they got something that they never dreamed of.

The possibility of working as full-time professional cooks!

The four of them would forever be grateful to Theo for the opportunity.

And the last encounter was with Gwen and Kin.

The time Theo knew the two of them was shorter, but Theo enjoyed their company nonetheless.

And the two cooks were beyond grateful to Theo for the opportunity given to them.

Theo looked at the people seated at the table with a smile that exuded warmth and joy.

They looked at his smile and they could feel that Theo was happy.

The girls blushed a little when they saw his smile.

It could not be helped, Theo was too handsome and when he smiled so warmly, his smile was capable of warming the hearts of everyone who saw it.

And the impact was even bigger on people who were in love.

In other words, Ayia.

Ayia blushed hard when she saw his smile.

"I thank the universe and the destiny for bringing each one of you into my life." Theo declared with an unusual serious voice.

Only he knew how serious he was.

He knew that everything was given to him by the universe.

And he would never be able to say thank you for all the things he received.

"Now, let's eat! I'm hungry!" Theo laughed.

The others also laughed when they heard that.

A lovely dinner between friends who knew each other for only months started.

But even though their time together was short, the bond they shared was strong.

Sometimes time doesn't matter when the bond was that strong.

Friends, delicious and warm food, a fireplace, and a raging snowstorm.

All the ingredients for an unforgettable night were ready.
