Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 717

Since it was still morning, most bars were closed. While Stewart was racking his brain trying to figure out where to take her, Charlene received two texts from Dr. Wagner.

Ten minutes later, her plans for a drink were derailed. Instead, she headed straight to the Base.

Every time she went to the facility, she was buried in work until she lost track of time. This trip was no exception.

She pulled an all-nighter the very first day and kept going until the following evening before the pace finally slowed down.

Around eight o'clock that night, she left the data room to grab dinner. As she stepped into the corridor, she immediately locked eyes with a tall, well-built man standing there.

Charlene paused, but York Watson strode right up to her. "I heard you got in yesterday, but I've been swamped with tasks. I just wrapped up."

"...Yeah. Good work."

"Dinner together?"

It was obvious he had been waiting for her, so she relented. "...Sure."

They made small talk on their way to the cafeteria and discussed work over their meal. When there was a lull in the conversation, she looked up and noticed York had stopped eating. He was staring at her thoughtfully.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Are you upset about something?"

Charlene blinked in surprise.

She had been so buried in her tasks these past two days that she barely had time to think. The suffocating heaviness in her chest had dulled beneath the sheer volume of work, and she had assumed she was hiding it perfectly well.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Not entirely." But he could tell.

In the past, no matter how grueling the obstacles at the Base or how exhausted she was, her eyes had always sparked with drive and anticipation. It was clear she genuinely loved her work here.

But now, even though her focus was fixed on her tasks, a faint shadow of sorrow clung to her brow.

Anyone who didn't pay close attention would have missed it completely.
