Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 354

York was a bit taken aback when he saw her. "Ms. Ross?"

Charlene nodded. "Hello."

York grinned, asking, "Are you here to work at the base, Ms. Ross?"

Shaking her head, Charlene replied, "No, I'm just here to help out with something on my professor's behalf."

York paused, taking in her words. Only a few people had the clearance to let outsiders into the base. Knowing Charlene's close but purely platonic ties to Stewart, it all made sense.

"Your professor... is Mr. Kenton Wagner?" he asked.

Charlene nodded, saying, "That's right."

She was indeed a student of Kenton, just like Stewart. York had never thought along those lines before.

It made sense now, though. Like why Stewart had praised her contributions to PrimeStar Technologies' latest project at a previous gala. Or why his father paid special attention to her at his grandfather's art exhibition and the business-government conference attended by Dalton Ramirez.

His father must have known she was Kenton's student all along.

But for his father to focus so much on her, she must have been involved in more than just being a student. The thought of PrimeStar's groundbreaking projects hit him, and suddenly, everything made sense.

Looking at her, he found himself momentarily speechless. Charlene seemed so calm and unassuming. From her demeanor alone, one would never guess she had achieved so much at such a young age.

A little while later, they were seated in the cafeteria. York asked, "How long will you be staying at the base this time?"

"Not sure, depends on what the professor needs," Charlene replied. She remembered the last time they had met, which was two or three months ago. "I don't see you much outside. Busy with training?"
