The next day, when Thorne arrived at the office, he bumped into Charlene.
Charlene had no idea Thorne and Jasmine had returned from their trip abroad.
Encountering Thorne at the office caught Charlene off guard, making her stop.
Seeing Charlene, a flicker of surprise crossed Thorne's eyes, too, but he assumed she had just returned from a business trip and didn't dwell on it.
With an expressionless face, he treated her like a stranger, coldly passing by her and heading into the office.
In the past, if Charlene had learned about Thorne's sudden return, she would have been thrilled.
Even if she couldn't rush into his arms, she'd still look at him with excitement and joy, cheerfully saying "Good morning," no matter how cold he seemed.
But Charlene merely glanced at his face and lowered her eyes, her face lacking the excitement and joy that used to light it up. But Thorne didn't notice any of this as he had already walked away.
Watching Thorne's confident and upright figure leaving, Charlene wondered when he had returned. But since he was back, the divorce would probably be on the agenda soon, right?
Having decided on the divorce, Charlene didn't dwell on Thorne again. Returning to her desk, she immediately got into her work mode.
Half an hour later, Josh called and instructed, "Make two cups of coffee and bring them to Mr. Henderson's office."
Initially, to make Thorne fall for her, Charlene had learned that Thorne loved coffee and had put a lot of effort into mastering the art of coffee making.
Her efforts paid off. After tasting her coffee, Thorne insisted on having the coffee she made, whether at home or in the office.
Learning Thorne loved her coffee made her ecstatic for a long time. She believed it was the first step towards success.
