Charlie had a lightbulb moment about what to do next! He headed over to a local car repair shop, where he spent twenty bucks to swap out the BMW 760 logo for a 520. While the main distinctions between these models lay in their engines and interior designs, the outside of a BMW 5 Series closely resembled the 7 Series, making it tricky to tell them apart unless you looked closely at the rear badge. The 520 was the most basic model in the 5 Series, featuring an average engine and standard technology\u2014it was an all-around average car. In contrast, the 760 was the top-tier model in the 7 Series, equipped with a powerful engine and exceptional handling\u2014it was a beast on the road. Charlie couldn\u2019t help but grin as he drove the 760, now sporting the 520 badge. Claire, who didn\u2019t know much about cars and had little interest in them, would undoubtedly believe him if he claimed this was a BMW 520.<\/p>\n

The workshop owner watched with a smirk as the BMW rolled out of his shop. He was surprised at the young man\u2019s cheekiness, especially considering his seemingly innocent demeanor. It was clear that Charlie had a clever scheme in mind by switching the 760 logo to a 520!<\/p>\n

After finishing his car shopping, Charlie remembered his next task\u2014finding a gift for the grand opening of Douglas\u2019s restaurant that was happening at noon. Since Douglas had been the only classmate who treated him kindly during college, Charlie wanted to give him something special. He drove to a large consignment shop where he spent two hundred thousand dollars on an early painting by Rachel Ruysch, a renowned artist from the Dutch Golden Age. Although Rachel Ruysch\u2019s reputation has faded in contemporary art circles, Charlie knew that this painting would be a meaningful gift. He chose an older piece for two reasons: he wanted to present Douglas with something significant and valuable, but he also wanted to keep others from knowing its true worth. If anyone inquired about it, he planned to downplay the cost, saying it was merely a few thousand dollars.<\/p>\n

As the clock approached noon, Charlie called Claire to let her know he would pick her and Loreen up from the Emgrand Group headquarters. When Claire saw him pull up in a BMW 5 Series, her jaw dropped in astonishment. She stared at him, wide-eyed, and exclaimed, \u201cWhere did this car come from?\u201d<\/p>\n

With a warm smile, Charlie replied, \u201cI bought it for you!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou bought it?\u201d Claire asked, even more shocked. \u201cHow did you afford it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPrivate savings, of course,\u201d Charlie shrugged casually. \u201cI didn\u2019t spend a dime during our marriage, and for all these years, you and your family have covered my expenses. So, what\u2019s wrong with saving a little pocket money?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s your savings! You should treat yourself. Why spend it on such an expensive car? It must have cost around four hundred thousand dollars!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie chuckled. \u201cYou\u2019re my wife! What\u2019s wrong with using my savings for you? Would you prefer I spend it on someone else? Plus, now that you\u2019re a director, it\u2019s important for you to have a car\u2014people might tease you otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Loreen chimed in, \u201cClaire, you definitely need a car for your daily commute. This one is perfect for you! Charlie loves you so much; you should be thrilled!\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire nodded, feeling grateful. \u201cThank you, Charlie!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie gently took her hand and said, \u201cYou\u2019re welcome, my dear.\u201d Then he encouraged them, \u201cLet\u2019s head to Douglas\u2019s restaurant now!\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire suddenly remembered something and asked, \u201cDid you get him a gift?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI did,\u201d Charlie confirmed. \u201cI bought him a painting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA painting?\u201d Claire inquired with curiosity. \u201cWhat kind of painting?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an ancient piece I found on Antique Street. It features a pomegranate, which symbolizes righteousness. I thought it looked nice, so I decided to get it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow much did you pay for it?\u201d Claire asked. \u201cSeveral thousand dollars,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n

Claire laughed, \u201cYou might have been scammed! Authentic paintings don\u2019t come at that price.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie smiled nonchalantly. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter; what counts is the sentiment behind the gift.\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire nodded in agreement. \u201cYou\u2019re right; it\u2019s the thought that counts. Let\u2019s go!\u201d<\/p>\n
