Chapter 11

The next day, when Thorne arrived at the office, he bumped into Charlene.

Charlene had no idea Thome and Jasmine had returned from their trip abroad.

Encountering Thorne at the office caught Charlene off guard, making her stop.

Seeing Charlene, a flicker of surprise crossed Thome's eyes, too, but he assumed she had just returned from a business trip and didn't dwell on it. With an expressionless face, he treated her like a stranger, coldly passing by her and heading into the office.

In the past, if Charlene had learned about Thome's sudden return, she would have been thrilled.

Even if she couldn't rush into his arms, she'd still look at him with excitement and joy, cheerfully saying "Good morning, no matter how cold he seemed.

But Charlene merely glanced at his face and lowered her eyes, her face lacking the excitement and joy that used to light it up. But Thorne didn't notice any of this as he had already walked away.
