The moment Dalton laid eyes on Charlene, his eyebrows furrowed as if by instinct. The last time he saw her was when Thorne had visited PrimeStar to see Charlene a while back. He wasn't entirely sure what had developed between Charlene and Thorne since then, but he had heard rumors of a collaboration between Thorne and PrimeStar. He couldn't help but wonder if Charlene and Thorne might have used this as an opportunity to get closer.
Even though Dalton didn't say a word, the crease in his brow when he saw Charlene was enough for her to guess what was on his mind. Without so much as a greeting, Charlene got into her car and drove off.
Dalton watched her leave, then got into his own car and headed back to the office.
He was in the middle of negotiating a deal with the Hawkins family. Around 3 PM, his secretary came in and said, "Mr. Ramirez, Ms. Hawkins has arrived."
Dalton paused for a moment. "Ms. Hawkins?" he echoed.
"Yes," his secretary confirmed, "Ms. Hawkins said Mr. Hawkins has caught a cold, so she'll be taking over the meeting for him."
Dalton's eyes lit up with a hint of excitement at the news. He quickly stood up and made his way to the meeting room. Upon seeing him, Vesta immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, my father is under the weather, so I'll be representing him for this collaboration."
Dalton quickly reassured her, "That's perfectly fine." Vesta noticed the spark of joy in his eyes and smiled slightly, keeping her thoughts to herself.
