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?"
The calls were from Gaylord, Granger, Jasmine, and even Thorne had tried to reach her twice.
Charlene could easily guess why Jasmine and Thorne had called. Gaylord was the one who had called her the most, so she decided to return his call first.
Gaylord picked up quickly, asking, "You're finally done?"
"Yeah," Charlene replied. "You called me, was there something up? Is everything sorted now?"
Gaylord explained, "There was something, but it's been handled."
He recounted how, ten nights ago, he had gone to the theater expecting to meet her. When she never showed and her phone seemed unreachable, he grew concerned. By Monday, when she was still missing from the company, he feared something had happened.
Eventually, he reached out to Stewart, who informed him that she had some family matters to attend to. Knowing she was alright set his mind at ease.

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...
