Charlene looked at Stewart with an expression that was hard to read.
Stewart glanced over the papers and asked, "The resume looks impressive, but how's the actual talent?"
"Quite remarkable. He's been at it for less than two years, yet he's already outpacing most PhD students."
"Really? Sounds like a prodigy to me," Stewart mused. "Are you thinking of keeping him on?"
"I am considering it, but..."
"You're worried he'll just up and leave?"
"Exactly."
Even though she could tell Gaylord was genuinely interested in CUAP and Infinite-CM, there were other unpredictable factors about him.
"We can always try him out for a bit. If it doesn't work, we let him go."
Charlene nodded, "Alright."
Meanwhile, Gaylord entered the arcade, his striking features, broad shoulders, and long legs commanding immediate attention.
A number of young women were tempted to approach him, but Gaylord's tightly pressed lips and the aura of aloofness he exuded kept them at bay.
It wasn't long before his phone buzzed in his pocket.
As soon as he answered, the voice on the other end joked, "How did the interview go? Did you charm that Charlene girl? Do you think she bought your 'love at first sight' act? Hahaha!"
"If you ask me, you should play it up a bit more, have her wrapped around your finger—"
Gaylord, his expression stoic, was about to respond when he noticed Vesta at the arcade entrance.
Seeing her, he said into the phone, "I'll have to call you back."
"There you are," Vesta said as she approached him. "You disappeared without saying anything, and it scared your sister out of her wits. We thought something had happened to you. Honestly, you're..."
He paused, and Thorne grinned, "Long time no see."
Gaylord glanced at him, then back at Vesta. "Take care," he said abruptly. "Goodbye."
Before Vesta could respond, he got into his car and drove off.
Watching him leave, Vesta frowned in concern.
...
The next day, Charlene arrived at the office to find a bouquet of flowers on her desk.
Before she could react, someone mentioned, "The new guy in R&D, Gaylord, sent those."
Charlene, unfazed, simply said, "Alright, noted."
She casually set the flowers aside and focused on her work.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Stewart and Charlene will the best match, both power players!...
Can't wait to read where Charlene will start another relationship... God for is she gets back with Thorne... She needs to be with York or Gaylord (to annoy vesta) or granger (to annoy Thorne)...
I know its ur story and u obviously have ur own plot line and all and have every right to build the story as u like but what writer provide isnt just entertainment, but they shape the narrative of young minds. So I would say that romanticing cheating is, or rather THORNE'S behaviour, wrong for all the reasons..give york a chance ..that will be way more satisfying...again all of this is just my point of view but if charlene and thorne get back together, its not the story im looking for...
Hey...please dont ever make Charlene and thorne get back together no matter what...he simply doesn't deserve it....no matter the reason or plot twist behind the way he treated his legally wedded wife....whether he actually slept with vesta or not....just his emotional cheating...not repecting his spouse....not caring enough to actually get to know the person his wife was....and actually distancing his child from her mother and encouraging her to bond with the mistress are all the biggest RED FLAGS... when a person enters a contract....he must uphold it no questions asked...its not like if ur partner isnt good enough, ur allowed to cheat..allowed to let a 3rd person in-between....if ur not satisfied with ur partner then u can get a divorce...whats the point of all the wealth, power and brilliance of mind when the ML cant even get his head around this simple fact...So, its fine it he regrets, but charlene shouldn't be with him in any case.....
Enough already. This novel is dragging slowly. Updated with 2 chapters only. REALLY!!! Whoever the author or authors of this novel why is there a delay in penning more chapters? Here’s my question. In reading the comments from others does their opinions matters and/or make a difference? Are comments being monitored? Or is it only a tool allowing readers to blow off steam?...
Long wait to just get an upload of a couple of chapters. Very little progress in the story if any at all! For heaven's sake the story is 453 chapters so far with nothing or little change from where the story began! Show commitment to us your readers and followers please!...
Hi..its my 1st ever time commenting on any story. But seriously....i dont mean to come as rude but are u seriously thinking about the stroy or losing ur grip on the plot and characters...not updating...no story development...no commitment towards ur readers...u just uploaded 2 chapters after god know how long and still nothing to give to the story..if u dont want to write or simply cant then please dont...
The updates are so slow that I forgot the story for some time and just remembered it and read 20 chapters. The chapters are short and the story development is like a snail. 451 chapters and Charlene still couldn't break her image in other's eyes or dealth some serious damage to Vesta and her trash father....
It would be better to say right away that there are 10 chap/month...
Just give us updates already...
