Charlene reached out and met his handshake with a firm, even grip. "Not at all, Mr. Henderson. We just arrived ourselves."
"Please, have a seat," Thorne said, gesturing to the chairs.
Charlene gave a curt nod, sat down, and immediately steered the conversation straight to the business at hand.
Seeing the two of them dive into complex contractual terms with stone-cold professionalism—without a single trace of personal history bleeding through—the executives exchanged another round of baffled looks.
Gaylord had watched Thorne and Charlene discuss business in the past, of course.
But he had never known, nor even suspected, that Thorne was the husband she was quietly divorcing.
Watching them interact now felt entirely different.
In the past, when he had noticed their polite, icy distance, he had simply assumed it was lingering awkwardness from Vesta's disastrous stint at PrimeStar Technologies.
But now...
Gaylord's gaze shifted to Charlene.
She was utterly focused, treating Thorne like nothing more than a high-level client without a single distraction.
Was she truly that detached? Did she really have zero feelings left for the man?
Frowning slightly, his eyes drifted over to Thorne.
The billionaire was just as intently focused on the contract, his tone even and cooperative. But there wasn't a flicker of warmth or lingering affection in his eyes, either.
Sensing the heavy scrutiny, Thorne glanced up and looked his way.
Gaylord held his stare, his gaze just as challenging and cold as it had always been.
