The program factory now has nine requests for various series. Some want to animate their favorite stories, others want to bring their favorite books to life, some desire comics, and so on. However, there's something all animators are eagerly anticipating—the arrival of the boss to give the green light. The word spread that Billy would be at the company, starting when Raimon loudly declared it for Anna Szymanska to hear and pay attention to. The rebellious woman, now with short hair, was Raimon's muse. This was heard by Sarah Kino, working on "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle," as well as Jozz Stokman with his series "Harman Slash," who wants to use Metallica's songs. Also, Paul German wishes to finalize the Meteor topic, and James Linkes wants to animate the stories of the Green brothers.

-He has arrived, - said Paul German on the phone from the first-floor cafeteria, where his BBQ burger and fries awaited.

-He's here, - said Craig McCraick in a hushed tone, as if it were a secret.

-We're insane, - said Shem Cohen, who, after working on the animated series "Billy and Mandy," dedicated himself to animation alongside Butch Hartam and Bob Schooley on "Samurai Jack," a work Billy asserted he would prefer to keep mute and follow a scheme elaborated by the comic.

-I don't blame you. I've also thought about some series that could be seen on the channel. I have some important ideas that seem very fun, - said Butch, thoughtfully.

-They are excited, but I don't think Billy has the money to invest in many series this fiscal year. I heard plans are already underway for a third movie, - said Shem Cohen.

-Well, we can only do our best with what we have, - said Joe Murray, captivated by the creative atmosphere in these rooms. Although the days sometimes seemed dark, his drawing had improved significantly, along with his technical and creative skills.

-The builders delivered the finishes a week ago, fifteen days earlier than expected. Currently, the furniture and material goods purchases are gradually arriving due to your requests. We're trying to stick with wooden furniture for the management lounge, - said Rachel.

The new Lux Animation building was gigantic, almost as large as one could expect from an animation building that would handle all pending animation processes for the company. The five floors, along with a colossal facade of almost 50 meters wide, were a demonstration of might.

The first floor would be dedicated to all administrative aspects, and even now, Jolie Carter was in charge of hiring the entire personal team. This action and money injection would spend a significant portion of the company's resources, with 25 new employees dedicated to Lux Animation's operations.

The second floor would house all the company's animators, the two animation divisions, and the 10 animation teams currently in the company, along with enough space for another division.

-This here is the third floor, responsible for the entire recording stage, production, and machine room, which will broadcast all our channels. There are also rooms designed for databases and information storage. The fifth floor is where your office will be located, while the fourth floor will house the future company you wanted to create, focusing on computer science, "Netflix," and internet platforms, - said Rachel.

They went up to inspect the building, dozens of times larger than the small factory across the street. But the time would come when the building would become too small due to the number of people eager to work at Lux Animation.

-What will you do with the comic factory? - asked Raimon.

-It will remain a comic factory. Maybe we'll start some new companies. I want to create another internet-based company and, of course, place RPG Platforms on the third floor. The creation of the Pokémon franchise and my ideas for Fate/series need more space to grow,- said Billy, sharing his thoughts.

-Bigger! - said Raimon, frowning.

-Yes, I have everything planned, and we're on the right track. The success of "The Lion King" will secure our future, - said Billy, organizing himself. Betting on "The Lion King" had been very brave on his part, investing a significant portion of the profits in the film. However, he already had plans to mitigate the damage even if the movie failed at the box office.

Even the nervous Rachel was amazed at Billy's strength. Needless to say, Rachel fell madly in love with her boss that day.

-Well, it's crazy. I thought you would stop with the animation company, - said Raimon, thinking about the company's uncertain future. Significant growth would occur, but in the coming months, stabilization would be a significant problem.

-Everything will fall into place. I have some ideas that will generate money, - said Billy.

-I'm glad you see it that way, - said Raimon, walking slowly. - Come, I'll show you your future office, although I would hate to be you; the staircase is not very friendly. By the way, a study was conducted with the best engineers; this baby would withstand a 9.0 earthquake, according to sources. What would finish it is the tsunami, - said Raimon.

-I don't expect one for a long time, - said Billy, following the pace. The fifth floor was for team leaders and the upper part of the company. Billy's office had a beautiful terrace, and mahogany shelves, much larger than his old office, and much more modern.

Anne skillfully organized the documents. These computer machines were remarkable manifestations. The new machines, operating under the Microsoft program, were undoubtedly excellent, cutting her workload in half since their incorporation.

-Billy has arrived, - Anne heard someone whisper. She was on her way to Mr. Gorman's office to organize something in the file cabinet. She paused but continued walking, though the thread lingered in her mind.

Why hadn't anyone informed her? Anne wondered to herself. Unbeknownst to her, she decided not to pay attention.

She continued with her work. During this time, Margot had left her a note sent by Rachel. Anne, who insisted that no one disturb her until she allowed it, had not delivered the note.

The little note remained in the small box designated for Margot, for non-urgent matters when Anne was occupied, as always, going unnoticed. Billy entered through the main door, followed by the talkative Raimon and a very nervous Rachel, who trailed behind him with her heart pounding in her chest.

-We'll talk later; I have to see Anne, - said Billy.

The waves of animators who were eagerly awaiting Billy's arrival marked both a beginning and an end; their series would be approved, each of the animators thought.

Billy opened Anne's office door, nearly startling her as she focused on some tasks. -I see you've arrived, - Anne said, a bit offended by the lack of notice.

-We notified Margot two hours ago; I haven't been here long, - Billy said.

-Nice to see you! - Anne said.

-Same here. The building exceeded my expectations. You didn't lie when you mentioned wanting an office as big as mine, - Billy said.

It wasn't a lie.

Is there anything important to say? - Anne asked, stealing the words from Billy's mouth.

-Nothing, just came to greet you. I've outlined how the company should be organized to avoid future problems, - Billy said, passing a sheet of paper with an organizational chart for the company.

-Just a small idea of how the company can be positioned in the business framework. You have the final say in the company's result, and we need to improve hiring filters, my esteemed CEO, - said Billy.
