Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 469

Monday morning, Charlene had just reached the lobby of her office building when she nearly bumped into Gaylord, who was arriving for work as well.

Gaylord greeted her with a smile. “Morning.”

“Morning,” Charlene replied.

No sooner had she spoken than she spotted York across the lobby.

Seeing him, Charlene slowed her steps for a moment.

Gaylord noticed York too, and a frown creased his face.

York, seemingly unconcerned with Gaylord, walked directly toward Charlene. “I got back early yesterday morning. It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, so I wanted to stop by and say hello.”

He really did just want to see her—nothing more.

Sensing her distance and not wanting to make things awkward or have her grow annoyed with him, York added quickly, “You look busy. Don’t mind me. I’ll be on my way in a minute.”

Charlene had said everything there was to say to York. Now that he’d shown up out of the blue, she honestly didn’t know what to say anymore.

So when he gave her an out, she took it. She nodded briefly, then turned and headed for the stairs.

Gaylord shot York a glance, then hurried to catch up with Charlene.

York watched her retreating figure for a long moment before turning and heading back to his car.

Inside his car sat a bouquet of flowers. He’d intended to give them to Charlene, but seeing how things were, he realized that if he actually handed them over, she’d probably start avoiding him altogether.

The thought drew a self-deprecating smile from York’s lips.

Upstairs, Gaylord pressed the elevator button, joining Charlene inside.

Noticing him watching her in silence, Charlene looked up. “What’s on your mind?”

“Nothing,” Gaylord replied, shaking his head.

But after a pause, he couldn’t help himself. “Does Mr. Watson ask to meet you often?”
