I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Chapter 31 Arai Shizuka

While Ayia was having multiple thoughts, Theo was thinking about her proposition.

'Hmm even though it is not my ideal situation, if they can learn fast and avoid repeating mistakes, this can work.' Theo decided in his mind.

"Okay, but I want to meet them beforehand to assess their skill" he said seriously.

"Of course! I will talk with them and Monday they can come to meet you" she said excitedly that he accepted her suggestion.

They finished their talks about the restaurant and the three of them went to the couch to watch an anime while eating pizza.

The anime was great, and they loved it. Theo liked it as he didn't see this anime in his last world.

'It would be awesome if I could learn some directing and editing skills before I buy an anime studio company.' Theo dreamed.

When it was 10pm Ayia said goodbye to them and went home.

Ayia was in her sports car feeling happy as she recounted her night. She loved spending time with Theo and Aurora.

She arrived at the gate of an enormous property.

The security guard seeing it was the young lady, hurriedly opened the gate.

She parked her car in her underground parking lot. It could be seen several sports cars in the parking lot.

And the craziest thing was that all the cars were hers alone, and the only cars in this city. Because she had several other cars in the other mansions of her family.

She took the lift and went to her room. When she was entering her enormous bedroom, she noticed someone by the door and immediately assumed a fighting stance and defended the attack of the assailant.

Her opponent was good and didn't stop attacking even if Ayia defended the first blow.

The 2 people started exchanging blows at high velocity. It was noticeable that the two of them were masters of Martial Arts.

When suddenly Ayia stopped and complained

"I am tired, Shizu-chan!!!" Ayia threw herself on the ground.

Arai Shizuka was the maid/bodyguard of Ayia.

But Ayia considered her more like a sister than her maid. Shizuka was the same age as Ayia.

She was an orphan girl that was adopted into work as Ayia's maid when she was 4 years old. But the family grew attached to the little Shizuka and treated her like she was part of the family.

Because of that, Shizuka didn't have the work that usually maids have. Her only job, as she insisted to have one, was to watch Ayia and take care of her.

Ayia treated Shizuka as her older sister and they were really close to each other.

But Ayia had one thing that she didn't like about her, Shizuka was too serious about her job of taking care of herself.

As Shizuka herself said 'I am going to repay this family for adopting me and I will take care of Ayia-chan even if you don't give me any job!!' she stubbornly said to the family when they suggested finding a new maid for Ayia and relieve her from her job.

And Ayia, who loved to play and have fun outside the mansion without any supervision, had to constantly escape Shizuka's watch.

"I see you didn't forget how to fight, Ayia-chan" Shizuka said seriously while stopping fighting too.

"How could I forget if you keep attacking and surprising me so often??" Ayia complained.

"I have to test you for your wellbeing, Ayia-chan" Shizuka said with her usual serious voice.

"Father and grandpa are still overseas?" Ayia asked.

"Yes, they will take at least one week before coming back" Shizuka replied

,m "When is mama coming home, then?" Ayia asked.

"She will arrive in 2 weeks from her cruise with her friends" Shizuka replied again.

They were silent for a while when Shizuka asked a question that made Ayia freeze.

"Ayia-chan, what were you doing in the south district of the city again today?" Shizuka asked with a serious tone.

Ayia didn't know how to reply, the south district was where Theo's apartment was located.

"How did you know? You saw the tracker of my car? You know that I don't like you doing that!" Ayia stood up angrily.

"I didn't know and didn't check the tracker either, I am knowing now. I asked the driver where he picked you up last time and today, I presumed you went there again, and you simply admitted going there again" Shizuka said everything as if it was something obvious.

Ayia looked baffled, she fell for Shizuka's trap and admitted she has been frequenting the same place.

Ayia didn't know what to say.

'Maybe it is time, to tell the truth. If I keep hiding she will be more upset' Ayia made a decision.

"I made a few new friends some weeks ago when I was at a restaurant. They were buying food to take for an orphanage, and I tagged along with them and visited the orphanage too. And I loved playing with the children. We were planning to visit again so after everything was over, we exchanged contact numbers. And since then, we have been meeting in their apartment." Ayia explained how they met.

Shizuka didn't say anything as if knowing Ayia didn't say everything.

Ayia didn't meet Shizuka's eyes as she found a way to tell the rest.

"Hmm and when I learned that one of them was opening a restaurant. I asked for a job as a cook in the kitchen of the restaurant. So, I will work as a cook in the restaurant, and we have been talking about the plans for the restaurant" Ayia weakly said.

"So that's why you have been smiling at your phone constantly. And I assume this 'person' you have been talking to is a boy, isn't it?" Shizuka asked.

"Yes…" Ayia mumbled.

"I want to meet him. And if I find something strange, I will have to talk with father" Shizuka said seriously.

"Please, Shizu-chan, don't tell him!!" Ayia pleaded.

"He will never allow me to work in a restaurant that I or the family do not own" Ayia whined.

"I will think about it. But I want to meet this boy and assess him." Shizuka said while looking at Ayia's eyes.

"Shizu-chan, please don't go overboard when you meet him. He doesn't know who my family is, and I don't want to scare him." Ayia pleaded with tears in her eyes.

Shizuka lifted her eyebrow in surprise but agreed, nonetheless.

They talked the rest of the night about the Gray siblings as Ayia knew it was better to explain everything she knew so that Shizuka knew the context.

Meanwhile, all that was happening, Theo was in his room sleeping like a baby.
