Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280 

The person who brought him in chuckled, “Oh, absolutely. Director Hawkins is incredibly talented, and everyone on our team really likes her.” 

Plus, the daily perks for their team were quite generous, thanks to the close ties between Director Hawkins and Mr. Henderson. 

Of course, he didn’t say that out loud. 

Jacques beamed with pride upon hearing someone praise his sister. He felt a warm sense of shared accomplishment. Still, he wasn’t planning to interrupt Vesta at work. 

“Show me around the other parts of the office, will you?” he suggested. 

“Sure thing.” 

They stepped out, only to bump into Granger coming through the entrance. 

The person accompanying Jacques quickly greeted Granger, “Mr. Harden.” 

Granger nodded, his eyes briefly assessing Jacques. With his youthful face and student–like attire, Jacques didn’t really look like your typical corporate type, so Granger quickly figured out who he was. 

He kept that to himself, though. Instead, the guide stepped in, saying, “This is Director Hawkins‘ brother, Jacques.” 

Jacques had never met Granger before, but he certainly knew of him. 

Upon hearing the name Mr. Harden, Jacques ventured a guess, “You’re Granger?” 

Granger nodded, “Hello.” 

Jacques grinned, “Hey there.” 

Just as Jacques was about to say more, Granger’s attention shifted towards Charlene, who was engrossed in her work nearby. “Excuse me, I need to head over there,” he said, moving past them without waiting for a 

response. 

Jacques was momentarily taken aback. Weren’t his future brother–in–law’s friends supposed to be particularly friendly with his sister? Why did Granger seem a bit aloof? 

Unconcerned with Jacques‘ thoughts, Granger made his way to Charlene’s side. “Ms. Ross,” he greeted. 

Charlene turned, momentarily surprised to see him. “Mr. Harden,” she replied. 

It was the end of the year, and Granger was busy. He hadn’t seen Charlene for about two weeks. 

In fact, shortly after their last conversation, he had been discreetly summoned for a meeting by higher–ups. 

But he didn’t mention any of that. Instead, he asked, “Will you be attending my company’s gala this weekend, 

Ms. Ross?” 

Charlene nodded and replied, “Yes, I will.” 

Ever since he had offered to help her uncle, Charlene had noticed that Granger had been quite amiable towards 

her. 

After all, he had assisted her. Besides, they had been working well together recently, and he had personally sent her an invitation. Professionally and personally, she had no reason to decline. 

Granger smiled at her response, “Thank you for honoring us with your presence.” 

Charlene replied, “No need for such formalities.” 

Sensing that she wasn’t keen on continuing their conversation further, Granger didn’t press. “I’ll let you get back

to work,” he said. 

Charlene simply nodded and resumed her discussion with Quincy and the others. 

Yet, Granger didn’t leave. He stood by, listening to their work talk, occasionally chiming in. 

Both Granger and Moran held shares in Neural Nexus Tech, although they didn’t directly manage its operations. Still, they would attend the company’s annual meeting, which was the reason for Granger’s visit today. 

A little while later, Vesta finished her meeting and spotted Jacques. “Have you toured the whole company yet?” 

she asked. 

Jacques nodded, “I have.” 

Just then, Moran arrived.
