Theo and Ayia sat across from each other in the cozy living room of his manor after finishing their breakfast, the morning sunlight streaming through the large windows, casting a warm glow over the space.
The conversation had started casually, but as Theo shared his thoughts, it quickly became something much more significant.
"What is it?" Ayia asked curiously, noticing the spark of excitement in his eyes.
"Yesterday, while we were watching the musical performances, I had an idea," Theo began, his voice tinged with enthusiasm. "I already released a solo album. But while watching those kids, full of passion for music, I realized that I want to be able to find talents like them and promote them to the world. I want to write songs for them so they can achieve their full potential."
He paused, his eyes shining as he spoke. Ayia could see that this idea wasn't just a passing thought; it was something that had struck a chord deep within him. At that moment, Theo could almost already see these bands and singers performing amazing songs from his past life on grand stages worldwide.
Ayia was taken by surprise by his declaration. She knew Theo was always brimming with ideas, but this was something new and exciting. "Do you want to open your own Record Label?" she asked, her tone a mix of curiosity and admiration.
Theo had so many companies working in different fields already, so Ayia had to admit that she was surprised he wanted to dive into another venture, especially one in a completely new industry. But as she thought about it, it made sense. Theo had already proven his talent in the music industry with the success of his solo album. It wasn't hard to imagine that he had other incredible songs in his archive, waiting for the right moment to be released.
"Hmm, it's more like an entertainment company, but you're basically right," Theo smiled, feeling a surge of excitement at the thought of this new challenge.
Theo didn't know why, but ever since he started his new life in this world, he was taken by the enormous drive and excitement to challenge himself to work in fields he had never worked before.
In his past life, he was just a simple menial worker, but in this life, he had already delved into so many areas, and he wanted to dive into even more new areas of entertainment!
Now, he wanted to open his own music company. A decision that might seem crazy to someone who has no experience whatsoever in the field. But now Theo was an expert in music theory, plus he had people here who would make the process much easier.
Ayia's eyes lit up as she began to grasp the potential of Theo's idea. "That's an amazing idea," she said, her excitement growing. "But will you work in the company as Moonlight, or will you keep Moonlight hidden?"
"I think I'll leave Moonlight hidden," Theo said thoughtfully. "If a white-haired person suddenly opened a music company and Moonlight was an artist in it, people would quickly catch on that they are the same person."
"That's true," Ayia giggled, imagining the media frenzy that would ensue if Theo's dual identity were revealed.
They both fell silent for a moment, each lost in thought. Theo's mind was already racing with possibilities-finding raw talent, writing music that could inspire and move people, and creating something that would last far beyond his lifetime. He imagined the artists he could discover, the songs they could create together, and the impact they could have on the world.
Ayia broke the silence, her voice filled with excitement. "You know, this could be something really special, Theo. You're not just creating a company; you're creating opportunities for people to shine, to share their passion with the world. It's like... you're giving them a stage to stand on."
Theo nodded, his heart swelling with pride at the thought. "Exactly. I want to find those hidden gems, the ones who have the talent but maybe don't have the means to get noticed. I want to help them, guide them, and see them succeed."
Ayia smiled, her admiration for Theo growing even more. She could see how much this meant to him, "You'll be amazing at it, Theo. You have such a good eye for talent, and your passion for music is contagious. People will be lucky to have you as a mentor. But, I have to admit that it will be hard at first."
Theo reached across the couch and took her hand, squeezing it gently. "Thank you, Ayia. Your support means everything to me."
"But you're also right, it will be hard. Thank goddess I have Sam to help me." He laughed.
She squeezed his hand back, her eyes rolling. "You're lucky to have Sam to manage your companies otherwise I don't know how they would work normally with your laid-back attitude."
Theo laughed, "Indeed, I had a lot of luck when I hired Sam to manage my companies. Plus, after working in opening in several companies for me, she already knows the necessary to open an entertainment company as well."
Ayia nodded in agreement, she knew that it was only with Sam's help that Theo was able to open his animation studio, charity organization, and others. As someone who graduated from the most prestigious university in the world with a business management degree, Ayia had to admit that Sam was much better than most of her college degree colleagues. Even she wasn't able to promise to do much better than her, and that was high praise because Ayia was an absolute genius in everything she did.
They spent the next hour discussing the details-what kind of artists Theo wanted to sign, the kind of music he wanted to promote, and how they could keep Moonlight's identity a secret while still making the company a success. With her specified knowledge, Ayia offered ideas and suggestions, her mind racing with possibilities just like Theo's.
As they talked, the excitement in the room grew. This wasn't just a business idea; it was a shared dream, something they could build together. And as they looked out at the stunning views from the manor, they knew that this was just the beginning of something incredible. The conversation eventually shifted to more practical matters-how to structure the company, who to bring on board, and what their first steps should be. But through it all, the excitement and passion never waned. They were creating something new, something that had the potential to change lives, and they were doing it together.
Ayia even volunteered to work as the Agent Chief of the company, after working as Moonlight's manager, she started liking managing artists.
By the time they finished, the sun had climbed higher in the sky, and the time that they had to leave for the festival neared. Theo and Ayia sat back, both of them feeling a deep sense of satisfaction and anticipation for the future. They had a lot of work ahead of them, but they were ready for it.
"This is going to be amazing," Theo said, his voice filled with determination.
Ayia nodded, her smile wide and bright. "It already is."
