Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 523

Stewart glanced over with concern. “How are you feeling now? Is anything bothering you? If you’re not up for it, we can always postpone the morning meeting…”

“I’m fine,” Charlene replied.

As she answered, she suddenly realized she wasn’t wearing yesterday’s clothes. Instead, she was dressed in the pajamas she’d packed herself. She felt fresh and dry—apparently, someone had helped her shower and change.

She wondered if Thorne had arranged for hotel staff to help her, or if… well, it didn’t really matter. It wasn’t something worth bringing up with Stewart anyway. After exchanging a few more words, they ended the call.

It was getting late. Charlene decided not to dwell on whatever happened last night. She got ready for the day, touched up her makeup, grabbed her bag, and headed out.

As soon as she stepped into the hallway, she nearly bumped into Thorne and Vesta.

Charlene paused. Thorne and Vesta also stopped in their tracks. Vesta’s expression turned cold the moment she spotted Charlene.

“Charlene.”

Just then, Stewart came out of his room. Seeing Thorne and Vesta together, he clenched his jaw and walked straight toward them.

Charlene looked away.

Thorne nodded politely. “Mr. Ferguson.”

Stewart had no idea when Vesta had arrived in Jade City. Seeing her with Thorne, and hearing Thorne greet him, Stewart ignored them and turned to Charlene. “Charlene, let’s go.”

She nodded. “Alright.”

She led the way toward the elevators.

At that moment, Gaylord stepped out of his room. He was surprised to see Thorne, Vesta, Charlene, and Stewart all waiting for the elevator at the same time, and he paused briefly. However, Charlene and Stewart stood at a different elevator bank, a good distance away from Thorne and Vesta. To a stranger, it would have looked as though they didn’t know each other at all.

At lunchtime, after finishing up their work, The Henderson Group and the PrimeStar team headed to a nearby restaurant together.

Thorne didn’t join them.

Mr. Windsor explained with a good-natured smile, “Ms. Hawkins’s close friend just returned from abroad, so Mr. Henderson is busy welcoming her today. He won’t be joining us for lunch.”

Stewart’s smile was polite but stiff. “Mr. Henderson certainly keeps himself busy.”

Mr. Windsor didn’t catch the sarcasm, taking it as a lighthearted comment about Thorne and Vesta’s close relationship. He chuckled, “That he does.”

The afternoon’s schedule went off without a hitch. That evening, as planned, they flew back to Starfall.

According to Mr. Windsor, Thorne had another project to discuss and didn’t fly back with them that night. Neither did Vesta.
