Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 711

The following morning, after handling a few urgent tasks at PrimeStar, Charlene and Gaylord headed over to The Henderson Group for a meeting.

It had been a while since they had stepped foot in the building.

The moment they walked in, a few familiar employees couldn't resist pulling them into some light office gossip.

"Did you guys catch the news about Mr. Henderson and Ms. Hawkins a few days ago?"

Charlene lowered her gaze. "I saw it."

"Ever since that accident, they've been practically inseparable! In fact, he actually brought her to work with him for the past two mornings. She's sitting up in his office right now."

Charlene offered a polite smile, choosing not to comment.

After a few more minutes of idle chatter, they got down to business.

At noon, Charlene stepped out for lunch with her boss, Mr. Windsor. The moment they stepped out of the car, she immediately spotted Lloyd Henderson getting out of a vehicle nearby.

Before Charlene could react, Mr. Windsor noticed him too.

While lower-level employees might not recognize him, an executive like Mr. Windsor certainly did. He hurried over with a sycophantic smile. "Secretary Henderson! A pleasure to see you, it's been far too long."

Lloyd recognized him and offered a polite handshake. "Ah, Mr. Windsor. Good to see you."

Only then did his gaze shift to the woman standing nearby.

He paused for a second before a warm smile spread across his face. "Charlene. It's been a while."

Charlene nodded respectfully. "...Lloyd."

Hearing her drop his formal title and surname entirely, Lloyd's smile faltered for a fraction of a second, but he didn't correct her. Instead, he gave her shoulder a gentle, paternal pat.

"You look a bit thin. I hear you've been working yourself to the bone lately. Make sure you take care of your health. Don't push yourself too hard."

"I will. Thank you, Lloyd."

But judging from the warmth of that interaction, she genuinely had a profound connection with the man. So why did she and Thorne always act like absolute strangers?

Even when Thorne seemed to take a bizarre interest in her a while back, the air between them was always frigid, as if they could never bridge the gap.

The rest of the PrimeStar team, including Gaylord, had overheard Mr. Windsor call him 'Secretary Henderson' and instantly connected the dots.

Everyone knew the Hendersons were practically royalty in Starfall City.

Unable to contain his shock, one of the team members finally asked, "Mr. Windsor, is Secretary Henderson actually Mr. Henderson's..."

Mr. Windsor nodded emphatically. "Yes. That's his father."

A collective gasp rippled through the group. "Wow, that was really him?"

While the others marveled at the encounter, Gaylord slowly turned his head, his piercing gaze locking firmly onto Charlene.
