So, she quickly answered the phone, walked over to an unoccupied corner, and spoke up as she asked excitedly, “Charlie-kun, aren’t you in the United States? Why are you calling me?”
Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Nanako, I have something very important to tell you.”
Nanako hurriedly said, “Charlie-kun, please speak up!”
Charlie instructed, “You should put down all matters at hand right now and bring your father and Hiroshi to meet me in New York. The sooner, the better.”
“Huh?” Nanako asked in surprise and astonishment, “You want me to bring my Eminent Father and Tanaka-san to New York right now?”
“Yes.” Charlie said, “It’s a long journey, so it’d be best for you to leave for the airport now. You don’t need to bring any luggage or anything like that, just come as fast as you can.”
Nanako wanted to say that it was her father’s birthday tonight and whether they could leave two hours later so that her father could at least finish his meal first before leaving.
However, she could hear Charlie’s tone. Although she did not know why Charlie was in such a hurry, she could hear the meaning behind his words, so she knew that every second counted.
So, Nanako made up her mind decisively that they would leave immediately without eating first.
As she thought of that, she said to Charlie without hesitation, “Okay, Charlie-kun. I will arrange the convoy and plane to rush there as quickly as possible.”
Charlie instructed, “By the way, try to bring as few attendants and maids as possible with you when you come. The fewer, the better.”
Nanako hurriedly said, “I’ll bring just my aunt and butler with me, then. My Eminent Father and Tanaka-san are both physically handicapped and would need someone to take care of them.”
Instead of informing her father, Nanako went to Hiroshi first and said, “Tanaka-san, we are leaving for the United States soon. Charlie-kun has asked you to come along as well. Is there anything you need to prepare?”
Hiroshi was stunned for a moment and then said, “There... There is nothing I need to prepare. It’s just so sudden... What are we going to do in the United States?”
“I’m not sure.” Nanako hurriedly said, “Tanaka-san, since you don’t have to prepare anything, I’ll go and inform my aunt, and I’ll then come to inform my Eminent Father. He has finally agreed to change his clothes, so let him change his clothes first before we set off directly!”
With that said, she hurriedly turned around and left.
Hiroshi subconsciously asked from behind her, “What about the birthday party, Miss?”
Nanako replied without looking back, “We’re not eating. I’ll ask my aunt to bring the cake along, and we will eat it on the plane!”
