Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 349

Thorne suggested, "How about grabbing a bite together? My treat."

Stewart wasn't exactly thrilled about the idea of dining out with Thorne. "Thanks for the offer, Mr. Henderson, but I'm feeling a bit worn out today. I think I'll just hit the cafeteria for something quick. You go ahead and enjoy your meal."

Thorne chuckled, "The cafeteria is definitely the easiest option. How about you let us tag along, Mr. Ferguson?"

Stewart found himself at a loss for words.

A few minutes later, they found themselves at the PrimeStar Technologies cafeteria.

Being the company's CEO, Stewart naturally attracted attention, and with Thorne by his side, both looking exceptionally sharp, they were hard to miss.

Charlene was already there, enjoying her meal.

Across from her sat Gaylord, engaged in conversation. Charlene hadn't noticed Stewart until someone greeted him with a "Mr. Ferguson." She looked up, surprised to see not only Stewart but Thorne as well.

Gaylord followed her gaze, looking over in their direction.

As Charlene and Gaylord glanced up, Stewart, Thorne, and Coy noticed them.

Charlene appeared to be on friendly terms with Gaylord, but Thorne didn't seem fazed by it at all.

Stewart caught Charlene's eye and gave her a reassuring nod, silently telling her to focus on her meal. He would handle Thorne.

Charlene nodded back and returned to her lunch.

After deciding to team up with Thorne, Stewart had intended to take full responsibility for managing this partnership. He instructed Charlene to maintain a safe distance from Thorne throughout the collaboration.
