Chapter 6094

A few days ago, Charlie accompanied Tawanna on her tour across several cities, supporting her as she successfully concluded her performances in China. In truth, after the shows in Eastcliff, Charlie regretted taking on the responsibility, but he didn't change his mind. He explained to his wife that he wanted to be Tawanna's Feng Shui advisor throughout the entire journey and couldn't abandon her halfway. Thanks to the twenty concerts, Bruce Automotive has gained significant popularity both nationally and internationally. Although Bruce Auto has yet to release a single model, Charlie understood that launching a business required one essential principle: to become well-known as quickly as possible. Internet celebrity Rebs had already generated buzz prior to launching Xiaomi Auto. He was willing to risk his lifelong honor to promote it, drawing attention to the company's cars and resulting in impressive sales. Bruce Auto is named after Charlie’s father, so he is determined to make this brand truly successful and a source of pride for the Chinese national brand. Tawanna's twenty concerts have significantly benefited Bruce Automotive. As the world watched the concert, it also learned about this formidable car brand. Charlie firmly believes that when Bruce Automotive launches its first model next year, it will create a remarkable sales achievement in the domestic car market. As the performances drew to a close, Tawanna's mood visibly declined. After the last show, she was preparing to return to the United States. Initially, after her concert in Tokyo, she had intended to take a vacation and spend time with her family, but now that plan had been postponed by a month. Her family missed her greatly, and the families of her team members also longed for their loved ones, yet she hesitated to leave. Charlie had caused a profound shift in her perspective of the world and she had fallen deeply for this reserved and strong Chinese man. Previously, music was the center of her universe, but now she often daydreamed that if Charlie wanted her to run away with him, she would abandon all her resources and status in the music industry without a second thought. Unfortunately, she was acutely aware that this Chinese man did not share her feelings. At the celebration banquet following the final performance, Tawanna downed an entire bottle of red wine. As the alcohol blurred her vision, her gaze remained fixated on Charlie, her eyes lingering on him. Having spent considerable time together, her team members recognized that Tawanna was smitten with Charlie and they shared a silent understanding of it. Tawanna had always treated her team well, cultivating loyalty among them. Even if she and Charlie had truly become intimate during the tour, they would certainly keep it a secret. It's a shame that Tawanna felt she lacked the allure needed to truly capture his heart. Aware that Charlie would be heading back to Aurous Hill after the meal, she realized that their next meeting was uncertain. So, after excessively drinking, she approached Charlie, disregarding her team nearby, tugged at his sleeve and asked with teary eyes, "Mr. Wade, will we have a chance to meet again in the future?" Charlie smiled reassuringly and replied, "As long as you continue to collaborate closely with Bruce Automotive, we will certainly have many opportunities to meet again." Tawanna responded, "When your car models launch, you must invite me to be the global spokesperson and I won’t ask for any payment." Charlie nodded, responding, "Being a spokesperson is definitely an option, but we will pay you what you deserve. Also, since you’re so talented at writing songs, you could compose one for Bruce Automotive when the time comes." "Absolutely!" Tawanna eagerly agreed, stating, "If you need me to release an album for Bruce Auto for free, I’m on board." Charlie smiled and said, "It’s wonderful to have you on our side." Tawanna then inquired, "By the way, Mr. Wade, do you have any plans after you return to Aurous Hill? The Chinese Lunar New Year is approaching, aren’t you going on vacation?" Not wanting to reveal his true plans, Charlie smiled and said, "I don’t have any concrete plans yet, we can discuss it later." Tawanna sighed, expressing her reluctance, "I really don’t want to go back to the United States. But my family insists on my return. I was contemplating whether I should choose a vacation spot to meet them there."

Charlie sounded puzzled, asking, "Why don't you want to go back to the United States? Isn’t it nice to return home and be with your family, especially after being away for so long?" Tawanna felt awkward; while she certainly wanted to reunite with her family, the reason for her hesitation was simple, she didn’t want to see her boyfriend, Trevor Kennedy. Their relationship had undergone significant changes and now, someone who had a change of heart would naturally want to maintain distance and limit contact. Ideally, a period of no communication would lead to one of them proposing a breakup, allowing her to end a relationship she had long wished to dissolve without facing him. Thus, Tawanna hoped to delay her return to the United States or find a reason to leave shortly after arriving. However, she couldn’t fully share her thoughts with Charlie, fearing he would see her as a woman who rushed into emotions without thought. So, she feigned exhaustion and explained, "It's really hard to get proper rest when I go back to the United States. The media and paparazzi will constantly pursue me and even at home, they linger nearby. To avoid that, I would much prefer to find a peaceful place for my vacation." Charlie nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "That’s a good approach. If that’s what you want, then do it." Then, he informed her, "Oh, by the way, I've booked a morning flight back to Aurous Hill for 6 o’clock. It’s past 1 AM now, so I’ll be leaving in two hours. I wish you a safe journey back home in advance." Tawanna looked surprised and disappointed, exclaiming, "Mr. Wade is leaving so soon, why not take a later flight to rest?" "No." Charlie chuckled, "I miss my wife and want to get back to her as soon as possible." Tawanna nodded sadly, gathering her courage to say, "Mr. Wade, I’ll take you to the airport later!" "No need." Charlie replied, "I’ve already ordered a ride from a ride-hailing service to pick me up at the hotel. Besides, if a star like you were to see me off at the airport, it would attract attention and rumors, which wouldn’t be good for either of us." "Alright…" Tawanna felt heartbroken, but with no better options, she whispered her emotions, "Then I wish you a safe journey, Mr. Wade!" Charlie gave her a slight nod and smiled, saying, "We will meet again, Miss Tawanna." The team's celebration banquet continued until four in the morning. After all, hosting twenty concerts in a month was a record for Tawanna since her debut. With a new work record set and unprecedented bonuses received, everyone was in high spirits as the long holiday approached. When it was time for Charlie to leave, Tawanna didn’t bear to go downstairs to say goodbye, so she watched him climb into a ride-hailing car from a distance in the banquet hall, looking out through the window. At that moment, unable to contain her tears any longer, she broke down and sobbed. Her agent approached her gently, taking her hand and comforting her, "Tawanna, some things are meant to be and there are bound to be regrets. You have to learn to let go." "I know." Tawanna quickly wiped her tears and forced a self-deprecating smile. "I understand that someone like me isn’t worthy of Mr. Wade, but sometimes, love can be uncontrollable and you find yourself falling for someone who can’t reciprocate." After expressing this, she wiped her remaining tears and said to her agent, "Please help me find a quiet resort if possible. I want to return to the United States, stay at home for one night and then immediately take my family out. Don’t plan anything with Trevor, I just want to be with my family." The agent nodded in understanding, "If you want absolute peace without paparazzi disturbance, islands with exclusive resorts are your best bet. Each island hosts only one hotel, if you’re not a guest, you can’t access the island at all, which effectively keeps paparazzi and reporters at bay." "That sounds great." Tawanna immediately replied. "You find the best one for me. Once you’ve made the choice, don’t tell me, just arrange the itinerary. I’d like to return to my room and rest." "Of course! I’ll get started on that right away!"
