Vesta glanced over as well.
She’d assumed, like everyone else, that Stewart and Charlene were romantically involved.
But ever since learning the truth about Charlene’s relationship with Kenton and the real story behind PrimeStar, she wasn’t so sure anymore.
She also noticed that after Moran asked his question, Thorne turned to look at Granger, too. It seemed he was just as invested in the answer.
Vesta pressed her lips together.
Moran picked up on it, but figured Thorne was just curious, nothing more.
Granger, however, went quiet for a moment before finally replying, “Why don’t you just go ask them yourself?”
Moran fell silent.
He took Granger’s comment to mean that Granger couldn’t care less about whatever was going on between Charlene and Stewart.
With no one willing to join in his gossip, Moran lost interest and pursed his lips in disappointment.
Vesta caught Granger’s response, and a faint, knowing smirk tugged at her lips.
If she didn’t know how Granger really felt about Charlene, she might have thought, like Moran, that Granger simply disliked Charlene and wanted nothing to do with her.
But his silence was just his way of protecting Charlene.
That realization sparked a thought in her mind—something she’d overlooked all this time.
Charlene was Kenton’s student and one of the founders of the organization. Maybe Granger had known all along.
He just never told them, quietly keeping her secret.
Just then, a few prominent politicians, including Hickey Watson, arrived.
