Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 583

"I have something to take care of," Charlene said. "Whatever it is, can it wait until I get back?"

Gaylord was about to agree, but then he remembered that Charlene had no off-site meetings scheduled for today. She rarely left the office in the middle of the day for personal reasons. He'd been following the news of her divorce and knew it had been delayed because her ex was too busy. In a flash of insight, he realized why she was suddenly leaving.

He asked without thinking, "Are you… on your way to city hall?"

Charlene was surprised he had guessed correctly. She stopped, gave a quiet "Mmm," and then turned and left.

Watching her go, Gaylord felt a sudden urge to follow. He was genuinely curious about the man she had married. But after taking two steps, he stopped himself. Ever since she became aware of his feelings, Charlene had been avoiding him outside of work. If she found out he had followed her just to see who her ex-husband was, she would definitely be angry. In the end, he decided against it. Once Charlene was out of sight, he turned and went back to his desk.

Charlene arrived at city hall and waited for about fifteen minutes before Thorne rushed in.

"Sorry, the meeting ran about ten minutes longer than expected. I'm late."

Seeing his harried expression, Charlene could tell he was truly busy. She didn't comment on it, simply saying, "Let's go get the paperwork done."
