Charlene ignored him, so Thorne simply kept his silence.
From the other side of the parking lot, Gaylord emerged, spotting them and making his way over to Charlene.
"Morning!"
Charlene nodded, "Morning."
Gaylord paused, then turned to Thorne with a casual nod, "Morning."
Thorne grinned, "Morning."
Thorne was at PrimeStar Technologies to discuss a potential partnership.
Charlene, being a key figure in the company, was expected to warmly greet any business partners visiting for collaboration talks. But after Gaylord exchanged pleasantries with both Charlene and Thorne, he noticed that Charlene hadn't even bothered to turn towards Thorne, let alone engage him in conversation. She just walked straight ahead, showing no intention of playing the gracious host.
Was Charlene's chilly demeanor towards Thorne because of his connection with Vesta?
Gaylord considered this as he glanced back at Thorne.
Charlene's standoffishness didn't seem to faze Thorne in the slightest; there wasn't a hint of irritation on his face.
Gaylord decided to remain silent.
The four of them entered the elevator in silence.
Inside, Gaylord stood beside Charlene. She was wearing high heels, and even with just a touch of makeup, she looked stunning and composed.
Gaylord found himself captivated by Charlene's elegant profile, unable to tear his gaze away.
He kept staring until he noticed Thorne seemed to be watching him, prompting him to quickly divert his eyes back to Thorne.
Thorne caught his eye and smiled, but said nothing.
The elevator soon arrived at PrimeStar's floor.
