At that moment, Vesta was utterly taken aback, wondering if her eyes were playing tricks on her.
But there was Charlene, holding Daisy's hand, with Granger casting a warm smile her way. It was all so clear.
This wasn't a hallucination. It wasn't a dream.
Charlene was really with Granger and Daisy.
From the way Charlene held Daisy's hand instead of Granger, it was obvious this wasn't their first outing together.
A thought flickered through Vesta's mind.
Could Charlene be the "miss" Daisy had mentioned so many times before?
But how could that be possible?
Vesta struggled to believe it, but she couldn't help remembering last year at the Neural Nexus Tech conference, when Granger had walked up and started chatting with Charlene.
And at recent gatherings, if Charlene and Stewart were present, Granger would spend time with them, instead of just exchanging pleasantries and moving on.
She had thought Granger was just being polite to Charlene because he didn't want to offend Stewart.
But now... Did Granger really have feelings for Charlene?
No. That couldn't be.
Vesta stood there, still in disbelief.
Charlene and Granger had known each other for so long. If Charlene was his type, he would have shown interest long ago.
Besides, Vesta couldn't see what Granger might find appealing about her.
Maybe she was just overthinking it.
Even if Charlene was the woman Daisy talked about, it didn't necessarily mean Granger was smitten with her—
As Vesta stood frozen, Henley Hawkins approached her. "Vesta, are you okay?"
Vesta snapped back to reality, shaking her head. "I'm fine."
"Shall we head inside?"
