Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 681

"Early?"

"Yes, around eight o'clock, I believe."

Dalton fell silent, his gaze drifting across the crowded room to where Thorne stood. Thorne was deep in conversation and looked perfectly settled, showing no signs of leaving. So, Dalton thought, he has no intention of going to the Neural Nexus Tech gala at all.

Just then, Thorne noticed him and raised his glass with a small smile. Before they could exchange more than a glance, Stewart and Charlene made their way over to Dalton.

"Mr. Ramirez, our apologies. We should have been here to greet you," Stewart said.

Dalton pulled his attention away from Thorne. "Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Ross, not at all."

They had barely begun to exchange pleasantries when Granger arrived. "My apologies," Granger said. "I had a few things to take care of and got here late."

Compared to his polite but cool demeanor with Dalton, Stewart's attitude toward Granger was noticeably warmer. "It's no problem at all, Mr. Harden. Having you here is an honor for PrimeStar."

Dalton noted that Granger had also skipped the Neural Nexus Tech gala. While it made business sense for him to prioritize PrimeStar, given the close partnership between their companies, Dalton found it strange. He'd heard that Granger and Vesta were good friends. Surely, a friend would show up to support her when she needed him and Thorne to lend her event some prestige.

Granger had been incredibly busy lately. He had canceled an important meeting just for a chance to see Charlene, rushing to make it before the PrimeStar gala ended. He was surprised, however, to see Thorne still there so late.

Seeing Granger, Thorne walked over. "You made it."
