Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 54
Chapter 54
“How about this coffee?” asked Coy.
Thorne glanced at the coffee cup on his desk with disdain. “Take it away and get me a glass of tap water, will you?”
Coy nodded. “Sure thing.”
At noon, Stewart went out for a business lunch, leaving Charlene to dine alone in the company cafeteria.
Though polite, her colleagues kept their distance. It didn’t seem to bother Charlene much.
After lunch, she plunged back into her work. As the clock ticked past five, she approached Patton, her project manager. “I think I’ve pretty much nailed it. Do you want to take a look?”
“What?” Patton was initially confused, but as he perused the documents Charlene handed over, his confusion turned into utter disbelief. “You… you’ve finished everything?”
It was a workload that Raleigh, the previous team leader, had scheduled over a fortnight to finish. And Charlene had deciphered and finished it all in less than a day?
“Yep,” Charlene confirmed.
Patton was speechless, especially when he realized Charlene had done an exceptional job and that her work also provided him with fresh perspectives he hadn’t considered for his tasks.
The news spread. Soon, other colleagues crowded around, equally stunned by Charlene’s feat.
Recovering from his shock, Patton eyed Charlene incredulously. “Are you for real just an undergrad?”
Charlene took a moment, then replied, “I didn’t go after a master’s.”
Impossible! How could an undergraduate outperform a team of seasoned Ph.Ds and master’s graduates?
Patton asked, “Why didn’t you go for your master’s? Financial issues at home?”
But looking at Charlene, that didn’t seem to be the case. With her skills, she shouldn’t have to worry about tuition fees.
Charlene lowered her gaze. “No, it’s just some personal reasons.” She smiled and added, “Maybe I’ll consider further studies later.”
After a brief chat and solving a few more work–related queries for her colleagues, Charlene left the office around seven.
Stepping out, she found Stewart waiting for her at the door. “Making a mark on your first day, winning everyone’s approval. That’s classic you.”
Charlene grinned. “Dinner on me?”
Stewart raised an eyebrow. “What else did you think I was waiting here for?”
Laughing, they left the office together.
Twenty minutes later, as they were about to enter a restaurant, a kid darted past, causing Charlene to stumble back and almost fall, if not for Stewart’s quick reflexes, catching her by the waist.
Just as she was releasing a sigh of relief and about to say thanks, Charlene spotted Thorne and Moran in the distance. They saw her
too.
Thorne paused in his tracks. Moran raised an eyebrow.
With pursed lips, Charlene averted her gaze and gently pushed Stewart away. Unaware of Thorne and Moran, Stewart asked worriedly, “Did you hurt your ankle?”
Charlene shook her head. “No, I’m fine.”
“That’s good. Let’s go then.”
Without giving Thorne another glance, Charlene followed Stewart inside.
Observing Charlene’s reaction, Moran was incredulous. “That was your wife, right?”
Thorne remained silent.
Moran snorted, “She ignored us completely and was all chummy with Stewart. Is this some new strategy to win you back? Trying to make you jealous?”
Before Thorne could respond, Moran burst out laughing. “She’s overthinking this.”
Thorne didn’t reply, stating, “Let’s go.”

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...
