Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 772

Raleigh glared at the scene. The envy in their colleagues' eyes and the easy smile on Charlene's face felt like a physical blow.

Without a word, he turned and headed upstairs alone.

By that afternoon, Charlene and her team had finally wrapped up their tasks. They wouldn't need to return to The Henderson Group for at least another couple of weeks.

Mr. Abner, an executive at the company, insisted on walking them downstairs as a courtesy.

Raleigh and his coworkers were also heading back to their own office to handle some business, so they all ended up waiting by the elevators together.

The doors slid open, and the chatter instantly died. Mr. Abner was the first to react, stepping forward with a bright smile. "Mr. Henderson. Mr. Roland."

Thorne gave a brief nod, his gaze sweeping casually over the group. "Heading out?"

"The architecture is finished," Mr. Abner explained. "Director Ross and her team are heading back to PrimeStar Technologies. I'm just seeing them off."

Thorne nodded again, turning his attention to Charlene. "Good work."

Her expression remained perfectly neutral. "Just doing my job."

Thorne spotted Raleigh in the crowd and gave him a nod as well. "Heading back to EchoWave?"

"Yes," Raleigh replied stiffly. "Got some things to take care of."

Mr. Roland glanced at Raleigh, then turned to Thorne. "Who's this?"

"A friend," Thorne said smoothly.

Seeing that Thorne wasn't going to elaborate, Mr. Roland didn't push. He recognized Charlene but rarely interacted with her. Spotting her now, he eagerly struck up a conversation.
