Chapter 68

Charlene withdrew her gaze as Patton called her over for some assistance. Without further ado, she turned her back, no longer

Moran walked over, nudging Thorne's side with his elbow before subtly gesturing toward Charlene. "Over there. Your wife's here, too."

Following Moran's hint, Thome looked in the indicated direction and spotted Charlene.

She held a tablet, explaining a prototype's technical nuances to Patton and his crew.
