I am the Entertainment Tycoon

169 Ayia, the Manager

After Theo bade goodbye to Aurora, who was going to school, he walked toward the recording studio of the house.

He had already chosen the next song that he would produce.

The love song from Ed Sheeran that he wrote for his wife, 'Perfect'.

Theo loved this song.

It was one of his favorite love songs.

So, Theo had to put this song on his album.

And it was a relatively simple song to record.

Even though it was composed of acoustic guitar, electric guitar, keyboard, drums, bass, main vocals, and backing vocals, it was still simple to record because the chords played were simple.

Theo started by recording the acoustic guitar track.

As the main instrument of the song, Theo wanted to record it first.

After all, who didn't know that Ed Sheeran's songs were mostly based on the acoustic guitar.

Theo remembered that Ed's concerts were just him alone with an acoustic guitar.

Theo had to admit that it was a cool look, but he didn't yet if he would follow Ed'd steps when he presented at concerts.

Theo wanted to live all experiences that an artist could live, therefore he wanted to sing in a concert!

He wanted to know how was the feeling to sing for thousands of people.

What would he feel? Would he be nervous? Would it be exciting?

Theo was looking forward to the experience.

But he didn't know any trustworthy people in the musical industry.

It was a common sense there were bad people in the industry.

He wanted a band composed of talented and trustworthy people to accompany him in his concert.

That's why he didn't know if he would go solo or with a band.

Theo focused on recording the tracks throughout the day.

When he had just finished recording the drum track and was exiting the recording room, he heard his phone ringing.

Theo picked it up and saw Ayia's name.

"Hey, what's up?" Theo answered with a gentle voice as a smile appeared on his face.

"Hey!" Ayia replied with her usual lively voice.

"I called to warn you that I will register the copyrights of your songs. I will need you to sign some documents." Ayia exposed the reason for the call.

"Oh, right! I had forgotten about that!" Theo exclaimed after Ayia finished speaking.

He could not believe that he forgot something so important.

Because if someone copied his songs later, this action would only be illegal if he owned the copyrights of the songs.

Theo was relieved that Ayia was so trustworthy and started doing that for him.

"I imagined it when you didn't mention it." Ayia giggled.

Ayia's business management degree was not for show.

After she deeply studied the ins and outs of the functions of a musical manager, she became a skillful manager.

She could be considered a top manager with her skills.

So, it was obvious that she knew everything that Theo had to do before launching his album.

"You are a life savior! You are such a great manager!" Theo didn't save the compliments for the girl.

"Of course! I'm amazing!" She bragged.

But even though this was what she said, Ayia was blushing hard at her house.

"I know." Theo laughed.

"You can bring the papers to the restaurant and I will sign it." Theo said after a while.

"I will do that then. And as you finish the next songs, I will do the same thing." Ayia replied with a professional voice.

"Do you wanna meet the crew when they arrive?" Ayia asked when she remembered that they would arrive tomorrow.

"Hmm, I can meet them, but I will wear a mask. You know I want to keep my identity a secret." Theo replied with a thoughtful face.

He thought it would be more efficient if he explained to them face-to-face what he envisioned for the music video.

"Sure, it will be your appearance as Moonlight." Ayia giggled excitedly.

She had promised Theo that she would only tell Shizuka about his identity as Moonlight, and Shizuka also had to promise to not tell anyone else.

So, Ayia couldn't even tell her cousin Arthur who Moonlight was.

But she accepted his condition without any hesitation, she wanted to show him that she was a trustworthy person and that he could tell her anything.

And she was also excited she would be one of the few who knew his secret identity.

"Do you think you can launch the album before the end of December?" Ayia asked suddenly.

"Hmm, I think I can." Theo pondered.

"Why?" He asked.

"There will be a Winter Music Festival here at Elffire City on January 8th. So, I was thinking about getting you a spot for you to sing." Ayia exposed her idea.

As his manager, she had the responsibility to find gigs for him to expose his work to the people.

It was in this way that most artists started, so she wanted to know if Theo was interested in performing live at that festival.

Even though the Winter Music Festival of Elffire City was not the most famous throughout the country, some good artists use to play in it every year.

Ayia thought it would be a huge opportunity for Theo.

"Oh really?" Theo exclaimed in surprise.

It would indeed be a huge boost for him if he performed at this festival.

But Theo had other things planned for that day.

A promise that he would never break.

He promised to take Aurora on a vacation.

"Hmm, it would be awesome to perform there. But I don't have a band yet, so you should hold back scheduling any concerts before I find a band." Theo replied after thinking for a while.

"And I will be busy on that whole week. So, I definitely cannot perform at the Winter Music Festival." Theo added.

"Okay then, you should tell me when you are ready for performing live." Ayia replied with her professional voice.

She understood his reasons, it would indeed be hard to find a band out of nowhere to help perform at the festival.

"But what do you have planned for that week?" Ayia asked with a voice full of curiosity.

"I told you about the vacation in January at the restaurant, right?" Theo started.

"No, you didn't!" Ayia exclaimed.

"Well, yesterday June and I decided to implement 12 days of vacations in January for all employees." Theo laughed as he heard her excited voice.

"Oh, that's very nice. I bet everyone will jump on you in excitement when they get to know that." Ayia giggled.

"That's a possibility." Theo chuckled.

"Then what this vacation has to do with it?" Ayia could not contain her curiosity.

"In those days Aurora and I are planning to travel out of the country." Theo replied with an excited voice.

"What? That sounds fun!" Ayia exclaimed.

"Yeah, it will be our first time traveling. So, we want to go somewhere that has warm weather and beaches. We want to see the sea!" Theo exclaimed excitedly.

"That sounds so much fun!" Ayia said with shining eyes.

An idea was starting to form inside her head.

"Can I tag along?" Ayia asked hesitantly with a nervous voice

Ayia had already traveled half of the world, but there was something that sounded so fun about traveling with Theo and Aurora.

But she didn't want to seem like she was intruding on their vacation.

That's why she was nervous to ask that.

"Of course! The more, the merrier." Theo replied with a gentle voice.

And he truly thought that, after all, the thought of enjoying vacations with Aurora and their friends seemed even more fun.

"Yay!" Ayia exclaimed happily.

She was already thinking of ways to fool her family about this trip.

"Let's call everyone to come with us!" Theo said excitedly.

"I was thinking about the same thing!" Ayia exclaimed back with a giggle.
