I am the Entertainment Tycoon-Chapter 95 Ayia And Shizuka Comes Back

[BONUS CHAPTER]

The next day, Theo continued working on his light novel.

He could not predict when he would finish, but he was giving his all to write something good.

This was his first work without copying works from his past life, so he was a little nervous about it.

But he brushed these thoughts away as he wrote with his heart.

That afternoon he arrived in the restaurant earlier than usual, he had to interview the candidates for the two openings in the kitchen.

June already hired the new employees to implement the rotating schedule of rest days, Theo also needed to hire two new cooks for the rotating schedule to be implemented in the kitchen too.

After hiring these two new employees, all kitchen staff would have two days of rest per week.

Arriving there, he saw that the whole staff was already waiting.

They wanted to participate in the interview just like before when Gwen and Kin were hired.

"Good morning, guys!" Theo said with a gentle voice.

"Good to see you again, Ayia, Shizuka!" Theo smiled brilliantly at the two girls.

"Yeah me too!" Ayia replied with another smile, but if you looked closer it would be evident that she was blushing.

After not seeing Theo for more than five days, she was dying to run and hug him.

But she managed to control herself at the last minute.

Shizuka nodded at Theo after she heard his greetings.

They started talking as they waited for the candidates to arrive.

"How was the trip to Sakura City?" Theo asked the girls. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

"It was fun! We celebrated with our family and I was able to see the fireworks from the Rainbow Festival." Ayia said with an excited voice.

"It must have been a stunning sight!" Theo said in admiration.

The Rainbow Festival was the biggest and most famous Autumn Festival in the Sakura Abode Country.

Every year, thousands of tourists from all over the country and overseas arrived at Sakura City to attend the festival.

Even though the Flame Festival was amazing and with stunning sights, it could not compete with the Rainbow Festival in popularity.

But all citizens of Elffire City would say that they preferred the Flame Festival if someone asked them.

The fireworks show of the Rainbow Festival was famous worldwide, the skies of Sakura City would be painted with rainbows made of fireworks.

It was said it was a stunning sight.

"Yeah, it was amazing!" Ayia said with enthusiasm as she started describing what she and how her celebration went.

"And you guys? What did you do these days?" Ayia asked them after she finished her tale.

"The restaurant has become even more famous in the days after you left!" Shoko said excitedly.

"Yeah, the Ravioli Lasagna has become a hit, and our profile in the Raingram has reached more than 100k followers!" Lauren said as she showed 'The Spark' restaurant profile in the Raingram.

"Wow! That's almost double what he had last week!" Ayia replied as she went through the profile of the restaurant.

She could see that the last picture posted was of the Ravioli Lasagna.

It was June who managed this account, after seeing the popularity of the new dish, she decided to upload a picture of it on the Raingram profile of the restaurant.

And it was a hit!

The picture got more than 100k likes.

Theo was very satisfied with June's work after he saw the results.

"Yeah, we got busy with all the work and we didn't do much." Kimiko said.

"But we did have a little party after the service ended on Sunday." Max said suddenly.

"How could we forget about that?" Lauren exclaimed.

"I think it's because some people had to be carried over to their houses of how drunk they were." Shoko said in a low voice.

They were silent for a while until they suddenly started laughing hard.

Hahahahahahaha

They only controlled themselves when they heard Ayia's voice.

"I can't believe you guys got drunk without me!" Ayia said as she faked anger.

But she could not hold on for long and started laughing too.

"Tell me everything!!" Ayia said afterward with avid eyes.

"There was a green-haired girl that got so drunk that she started dancing in the middle of the party!" Lauren exclaimed with a playful smile.

"Lauren!" Kimiko exclaimed as her face turned red when she remembered what she did.

"Oh my god!" They laughed even harder.

"It's not like I was the one who started singing pop songs, very badly by the way." Kimiko exclaimed back.

Theo could only laugh as his employees started throwing in the circle what they did Sunday night.

Even though he was tipsy when he left that night, he was the soberest among them, except for Aurora who did not drink.

His employees had fun without restrictions that night.

Max and Lauren started crying loudly saying that they should marry that very night.

Gwen started dancing with Kimiko.

Kin was even crazier, he said he knew how to fly and wanted to jump from the top of the building to prove to them, fortunately, they stopped him in time.

Ayia had lots of fun as she heard about their crazy night.

Even Shizuka was smiling as she heard the stories.

"What about Theo? What did he do?" Ayia said as her curiosity reached the max.

"Theo was totally unfair! He drank as much as we did and he was just tipsy!" Lauren said with a snort of annoyance.

"Yeah, he only started laughing at us when we started going crazy!" Shoko complained.

They started to complain about Theo's lack of craziness.

"It's not my fault you all are weak to alcohol!" Theo laughed.

"Nonetheless, I had lots of fun watching you all. I even remembered to record you…" Theo said with a playful smile.

When they heard his first sentence they wanted to complain, but when they heard the rest they became flustered.

"I want to see!" Ayia exclaimed as she jumped on Theo wanting to see what he recorded.

"No, boss!" Shoko managed to say.

"Please, boss?" Max said pleadingly.

"You look especially handsome today, boss! How about we forget about that?" Kimiko asked as she looked at him with pleading eyes.

They all started to ask Theo but Ayia was faster.

She was super close to him and started pleading with teary eyes for him to show her the videos.

"I'll send the videos in the chat group." Theo smiled deviously.

He took his phone and sent the videos.

Ayia could not wait anymore, she opened the chat group and saw that Theo sent a bunch of videos.

The rest of them looked defeated, but they opened the chat group too.

They did not remember much of that night, so they were curious to see the videos.

As they watched, they laughed even harder.

One thing was hearing what happened, another thing was seeing what happened.

Ayia was a little regretful when she saw how much fun they had without her.

But she was a mature woman already, so she did not dwell much in these thoughts.

Although she made all of them promise to have a party with her too.

She wanted to see them drunk, and maybe get Theo drunk too.

Even though it would be difficult, according to the recent findings, she was up for the challenge!

As they talked and laughed while watching their drunk videos, the candidates started arriving.

At the agreed time, all candidates arrived.

What followed was the same procedure Theo applied for the selection of the current kitchen staff.

Two tests, one individual and one group test.

With the increasing fame of the restaurant, there were much more candidates today.

A total of 30 aspiring and experienced cooks.

But only two would get a position in the kitchen.

The first phase eliminated 12 candidates, they committed small mistakes but it was not left unnoticed by the trained eyes of Theo and his employees.

Only 18 people were left to dispute the last challenge.

Theo divided them into three groups of 6 people each.

Each group had to cook together a dish of Theo's choice.

The competition was fierce and full of twists.

In the end, one group was disqualified because they could not deliver a dish. They committed a grave mistake and because of it, the dish was not ready at the end of the time.

The two new employees would come from the remaining two groups.

Theo and the rest tasted the dishes from the two groups and started discussing who they thought should be hired.

After an intense discussion that lasted more than 15 minutes, they concluded.

Theo informed them of their decision and announced which ones would be hired.
