Granger sent another text before disappearing for the night.
"I'm at a work dinner, you guys go ahead and chat."
After that, he was off the grid.
Once Granger got into his car, he didn't pay much attention to the ongoing conversation and replied, "I'm busy too, catch you later."
Then he closed the messaging app.
Seeing both Thorne and Granger were out of the loop, Vesta chimed in, "Time for dinner, talk later."
Moran was totally speechless.
…
That afternoon, Charlene headed to the R&D department for a meeting. Gaylord was there too.
As Charlene skillfully identified issues and quickly offered solutions, Gaylord watched her without interrupting.
After the meeting wrapped up, Charlene was about to leave when she noticed Gaylord looking her way. She paused and, out of courtesy, asked, "Is your first day at the company going well?"
Gaylord replied, "I'm settling in fine, thanks for asking."
Charlene nodded, said no more, and left the conference room with her laptop.
In the following days, Charlene juggled her work while negotiating a copyright agreement with an AI journal.
On Friday, after reviewing the R&D department's work report, Charlene asked Chester to send Gaylord to her office.
Three minutes later, Gaylord knocked and entered.
Once he was seated, Charlene began, "Your algorithm does enhance the efficiency and performance of the existing model to a degree, but it still isn't quite living up to my expectations."
With that, she began discussing the issues with his algorithm.
Gaylord listened intently. He had been at PrimeStar for three or four days now. He had interacted with Charlene several times.
Her demeanor seemed vastly different from the day of his interview, yet Charlene didn't seem curious or surprised by this change.
Moreover, on his first day, he had sent her a bouquet of yellow roses as an apology.
Yet, days had passed, and Charlene never mentioned the flowers.
It was as if she never received them, and she didn't seem curious about his reason for apologizing.
Charlene's professional prowess was apparent to him during the interview.
However, after joining PrimeStar and witnessing her work firsthand, he realized she was far more competent than he had initially perceived.
In the AI field, Gaylord was considered a prodigy.
But after working with Charlene, he felt he hadn't even scratched the surface of her expertise.
She seemed more innovative and skilled than the big names he had encountered at Goldland.
Sally's mom hugged her tightly, then noticed Jasmine nearby and greeted her with a warm smile, "Hey there, Minnie."
Jasmine nodded at Sally's mom, "Hello, ma'am."
Sally glanced around and asked Jasmine, "Minnie, is your driver here yet?"
Jasmine looked around but didn't spot her family's driver. Instead, she noticed many classmates being picked up by their moms, although she was usually picked up by the driver.
Initially, she didn't mind.
She thought having her mom pick her up wasn't cool at all.
So whether her mom came to pick her up or not didn't matter.
But…
Seeing Jasmine's driver hadn't arrived yet, Sally's mom noticed Jasmine seemed a bit off and asked with concern, "Is everything okay? You seem a little down."
Jasmine remained silent.
Just then, her driver finally arrived.
She waved goodbye to Sally and her mom before getting into the car.
Once inside, she watched Sally bounce along with her mom as they walked to their car. Jasmine turned away and told her driver, "I'm not going home. Take me to my great-grandmother's house."

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...
