I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Chapter 715: Last Minute Change of Plans



Theo had just left the restaurant's dressing room after changing out of his Dolma chef clothes.

"Tomorrow's your day off, right, Theo?" Max asked as he also left the dressing room.

"Yeah, it's my day off. Ayia and Shizuka will be heading to the kitchen tomorrow." Theo replied as he picked up his bag.

"I heard you will be going to Sakura City?" Gwen asked, "So, is tomorrow morning's training canceled?"

"That's right," Theo replied, "I'll send a message later in the group chat to warn everyone about it."

"I never imagined that I would say something like this, but it's a pity that we won't be able to work out." June laughed.

"Same." Gwen giggled.

Theo shook his head as he laughed as well, "If you miss it then we'll have a special training Saturday." He said with a mischievous smile.

"Oh, no! You won't make us kick each other around a thousand times like you did last week, right?" June asked in despair.

After training with Theo for months already, they already knew what Theo thought was a fun training session meant that it would be a despairing training session for them.

"Maybe." Theo said laughing.

Theo and others after changing out of their work outfits, headed to the parking lot next to the restaurant together.

"What are you going to do in Sakura City anyway?" Kumiko asked.

"Officially, I'll be going to check the animation studio and publishing house performance at PrimCon. But actually, I just want to have fun at PrimCon." Theo said with a happy smile.

Everyone laughed when they heard that.

"Oh, wait, does that mean that Ryoko-chan will be going as well?" Lauren asked.

"At first, she was supposed to go as well. But she has been busy with a task lately that made her pass this little work trip. So, I'll be going alone." Theo replied.

Just like that, Theo and the others chatted until they arrived at the parking lot, where each one of them entered their vehicles after bidding farewell to each other.

A few minutes later, Theo arrived at his manor at Pedrarruna Forest.

After parking his car at the underground garage, he found Aurora watching a TV series in the living room with the two kitties.

"Tadaima." Theo smiled at her when he saw her.

"Okaeri." Aurora said with a sweet voice as she paused her show.

"What time is your flight, big brother?" Aurora asked shortly after.

"I think it is around 11:55 PM." Theo replied, "So, in less than 2 hours, I'll be boarding my flight."

"I was thinking..." Aurora said with shining eyes, "What if I went with you, big brother?" Theo frowned before saying, "What about your classes tomorrow?"

"I already did all my homework. Also, I already studied tomorrow's class content. So, even if I don't go I won't miss much. Plus, I never missed even one day of class before, so if you explain to them that I just couldn't go to tomorrow's class, they won't care." Aurora explained as if she had been thinking of this excuse for a long time already.

"I see you've been thinking for a long time on this," Theo said as he sighed, "Okay, you can go with me. It's just one day anyway."

"YAY!" Aurora screamed happily before running toward Theo to hug him.

"Thank you!"

"Okay, okay," Theo smiled, "Go get ready then. Don't pack too much though, we'll be taking the return flight tomorrow night."

"I'm on it!" She exclaimed before running toward her room.

Theo smiled as he shook his head before heading toward his own room as well.

"Oh, Sylph, buy a ticket to Aurora on the same flight as mine." Theo asked.

"Yes!" Sylph, his AI Butler/Assistant, replied promptly.

With Sylph taking care of it, Theo didn't even have to worry about minor tasks like these. With that task taken care of, Theo began gathering his things. Packing lightly, he selected a few essentials for the quick trip. He grabbed comfortable clothes, his music sheet, and some equipment for rehearsing at the hotel in Sakura City. His mind was already wandering to the days ahead at PrimCon, a mixture of work and pleasure awaiting him.

As he zipped up his small suitcase, Aurora poked her head into his room. "Ready!"

"That was fast," Theo said, raising his brows in surprise.

"Well, I didn't pack much. Plus, I wanted to make sure you didn't leave without me!" Aurora teased.

Theo shook his head with a laugh. "Alright, let's head out. The car should be ready."

They headed toward the underground garage, the soft glow of the lights guiding their way as the Jeep's headlights blinked in welcome. Theo threw their bags into the back and slid into the driver's seat, with Aurora hopping into the passenger side. A light drizzle began to fall, tapping against the windshield as they drove off toward Redwell International Airport.

The city skyline was illuminated in the distance, the rain casting a misty sheen over the towering buildings. The drive through Elffire City was smooth, with minimal traffic on this late Thursday night. Theo kept the conversation light, and Aurora, as always, had plenty to say about her latest thoughts, from new trends at school to what she hoped to see at PrimCon.

"Sakura City's PrimCon is supposed to be huge this year," Aurora said, looking out at the lights blurring past. "I heard they're unveiling some groundbreaking new animation tech. I bet Sayuri's company will have a massive presence there!"

Theo nodded. "That's part of the reason why I wanted to check it out. Even though I'm officially going for business, I want to get a feel for what's coming next in the industry."

The airport soon loomed ahead, its sleek architecture cutting through the night sky. Redwell International Airport was bustling even at this late hour. Neon lights glowed in the rain as Theo parked the Jeep in the long-term lot and grabbed their bags.

They walked toward the terminal, the raindrops falling lightly on their jackets. Inside, the airport hummed with activity. Business travelers, vacationers, and families hurried past them, all part of the constant flow of travelers moving through the city's gateway.

Aurora scanned the flight information on the large digital board as they headed toward security. "Our flight's on time. No delays!" she said with relief.

"Good," Theo replied. "I'd hate for us to be stuck here waiting."

They moved swiftly through the check-in process. Sylph had taken care of everything, so they only had to go through security, where Aurora cheerfully chatted about what she hoped to seen/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

at PrimCon.

Their gate was moderately crowded, with groups of passengers clustered near the boarding

area. Some had their eyes glued to phones or tablets, while others chatted quietly among themselves. Theo and Aurora found seats nearby, settling down as they waited for the

boarding call.

The overhead announcement crackled to life a few minutes later, calling for the first boarding group. Theo checked their tickets. "Looks like we're next," he said.

Aurora smiled, standing up and adjusting her bag. "I can't believe this is actually happening. Our first anime convention! PrimCon, here we come!"

Theo stood up as well, the weight of his bag shifting on his shoulder. As they stepped into line for boarding for first-class seats, he couldn't help but feel a sense of calm wash over him. The last-minute decision to bring Aurora along felt like the right one, and now, with both of them heading toward Sakura City, he knew they were in for an unforgettable experience. The boarding line inched forward, and soon they found themselves stepping onto the jet bridge, the faint hum of the airplane's engines growing louder. Aurora's excitement was palpable as she looked up at Theo, her bright smile a mirror of the anticipation they both felt. "I'm so excited!" Aurora whispered as they moved closer to the plane's entrance. Theo smiled down at his sister, her energy contagious. "Yeah," he agreed, "me too."

And with that, they boarded the plane, ready for the adventure ahead.
