Charlene gathered her belongings and left the room as the meeting was over. Thorne trailed a few steps after her as he watched her leave. Similar to Dalton and Hickey, who knew each other well, the Ramirez and Watson families had a strong relationship. Dalton nodded amiably to Hickey as they left the meeting room. Ignoring Dalton, Charlene walked up to Hickey and said, "Mr. Watson.Hickey laughed heartily and replied, "There's no need to be so formal all the time." "Just call me Hickey," Charlene said, nodding with ease. "Hickey?" Dalton hesitated, a little surprised. If his memory served him well, Charlene and Hickey had first met at the Campbell Watson painting exhibit. Thanks to Stewart's influence, Hickey had been very polite to Charlene, but they didn't appear to be very close.But now, Hickey not only recognized Charlene right away, but he also showed her the kind of affection that comes only from longtime family friends. Despite her respectful manner, Charlene exuded a certain

"Let me go," Charlene muttered, her face slightly shifting. Thorne cut her off, saying, "Hold onto the umbrella." Instead of waiting for her answer, he grabbed her up and carried her down the stairs with ease. "I'm heading out now," he said over his shoulder to the others as he left with her in his arms. Let's talk again later. "The gathering of businessmen, who knew Thorne, were a little surprised.The relationship between Charlene and Stewart was well known. Stewart's decision to send Charlene to represent PrimeStar to this government meeting suggested that their relationship was still intact. Given that Thorne already had a girlfriend, it appeared audacious for him to express interest in Charlene in this way—almost as if he were publicly defying Stewart.Stewart was a powerful individual who should not be taken lightly. In spite of their thoughts, they merely grinned awkwardly and said, "Sure, catch you later." Charlene felt obliged to say, "Thank you, Mr. Henderson," with all eyes

That night, Granger had another social gathering. He concluded business talks and got ready to go. "What's up?" Charlene asked, glancing up when she saw Granger staring at her. Valentine's Day was tomorrow. However, he made no mention of it. Rather, he simply shook his head and replied, "Nothing." Valentine's Day had entirely slipped Charlene's mind because she was so focused on her work.She wasn't reminded of it till she got to work the following day. When her coworkers wished her a "Happy Valentine's Day," it dawned on her. As Charlene turned to return to her office, she heard someone ask, "Is there a Ms. Charlene here? Could you come sign for the roses that someone sent you?When Charlene looked over, she saw a delivery man at the door with a huge bunch of red roses. Everyone was captivated by his remarks and the extravagant bouquet. Although most employees at the organization were aware that Charlene was married, there were outside rumors that she and Stewart were linked. However

She was now a shareholder in Neural Nexus Tech. She was out at a meeting with Thorne and the others just now. "Cousin," Leah grinned as she approached Charlene and gave her a sidelong glance. "Someone was all proud about receiving flowers earlier," she said in a whisper that only the two of them could hear.However, they abruptly stopped talking when they learned that my brother-in-law had handed you shares and that many others had brought you flowers. "When Vesta heard this, she glanced at Charlene for a moment before remaining silent. "Sis, didn't you say Stewart was really good to her?"Leah went on. However, he only handed her one bouquet on Valentine's Day. He doesn't seem to be all that wonderful to her. " Vesta arched an eyebrow. Stewart just gave Charlene a bouquet on Valentine's Day? That strikes me as being rather lackluster. She honestly believed that Stewart had treated Charlene well in the past. Charlene did, after all, have a big impact at PrimeStar.Now that she had a b

Vesta didn't really mind Kenton's icy attitude. Vesta greeted Darius and the others with courtesy after striking up a conversation with Kenton. "Hello, everyone." She spoke to them all at once, which was the best course of action. After all, neither Darius nor his coworkers had shown a strong desire to meet her. It might have been more of an imposition than a kindness to greet each of them separately. Darius and Geoffrey were more preoccupied with Charlene. Like Hickey, they saw that Charlene clearly didn't like Henley and Vesta. Geoffrey had learned a lot about Charlene.As soon as Vesta and Henley entered, he knew who they were. "Let's not just stand here," Geoffrey said to Kenton and Charlene after giving Vesta a simple nod of thanks. "Let's go inside," Kenton said, nodding. After turning, the gang entered the eatery. After giving Dalton some advice, Abelard said, "Don't drink too much wine." "I won't," Dalton answered. Abelard followed Kenton and the others inside after giving Ves
