Chapter 481 The Goodbye He Couldn’t Say

+8 Pears

By the time everything was finally wrapped up, it was already cleven–thirty. Right then, Avery and the others returned.

“Tessa, you’re still here?” Stephen was so exhausted he collapsed onto the couch the moment he walked in.

“Do you have any events this afternoon? If not, just go home and rest. If you keep pushing like this, you’re. going to end up collapsing on stage.”

“There’s one more event.”

“Stephen, is this one important?”

“It’s already been signed. If we bail now, people will say the Avery band is acting like divas,” Mateo explained. He knew how worn out the group was, but they had already committed. Backing out now just wasn’t an option..

“I’m fine, Ms. Tessa. I’ll just nap here in your office for a bit, and I’ll be good to go again,” Stephen mumbled before dozing off on the couch. Their recent schedule really had been brutal, but it only proved just how hot they were right now.

Ms. Tessa frowned. Still, since a contract had been signed, it wouldn’t be right to break it. A person needed to have some sense of integrity.

“Stephen, bé more mindful of the workload in the future. We’re done with variety shows that aren’t related to music.” Those shows boosted popularity, sure, but they were too draining.

Mateo nodded immediately. “Don’t worry. I’ll handle it.”

Avery had something to discuss with Ms. Tessa, so the two went to her office.

“So? What did you want to talk about?” she asked once they were alone.

“It’s nothing big. I just wanted to chat with you.”

“You feeling too worn out lately?” she asked with concern. As the leader of the Avery band, if even he was exhausted, then things were clearly getting out of hand.

“No. This level of exposure is perfectly normal. Just because it’s us doesn’t mean we deserve special treatment.”

“Avery, I’m not in this for the money. What I want is for you guys to be happy making music,” she said. If she couldn’t give them that, then what was the point of having them with her?

“Ms. Tessa, you-” Avery hesitated, but in the end said nothing.

“You’ve got something on your mind, don’t you? If you do, just say it. There’s no need to beat around the

bush with me.”

“I want to take a break,” Avery said plainly.

Ms. Tessa didn’t quite understand what he meant by that. “Avery, what do you mean?”

“I want to leave the Avery band,” he answered directly.

Ms. Tessa fell silent. “Why?” Whatever the reason, there had to be one if he wanted out.

“Ms. Tessa, please don’t ask too much,” Avery replied. Even though the Avery band was thriving right now, and he genuinely enjoyed working with her, he didn’t want to keep living like this. Maybe it was time he faced what he’d been avoiding for so long.

Ms. Tessa said nothing. When she’d left in the past, the rest of the team must’ve felt the same way she did

now.

“Do the others know?”

“They don’t,” he said. He’d been gone long enough. It was time to return, even if it meant doing something he didn’t love. Otherwise, he’d end up dragging everyone else down–including Ms. Tessa.

“Avery, aren’t we best friends? Can’t I at least know the reason?”
