Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 

Josh was one of Thorne’s assistants. Seeing Charlene’s resignation letter, he was genuinely shocked. 

He was one of the few in the company clued into Charlene and Thorn’s relationship. Anyone familiar with Thorne knew that his heart wasn’t really with Charlene. 

After they got married, Thorne was quite indifferent toward her, rarely coming home. To get closer to and ultimately win over Thorne, Charlene decided to work at the Henderson Group. 

Her initial goal was to become Thome’s assistant. But Thorne disagreed. 

Even Neal Henderson’s intervention couldn’t sway Thorne. At last, Charlene had no choice but to settle for a position in the secretarial department, becoming one of Thorne’s many secretaries. 

At first, Josh was worried that Charlene 

presence in the department would cause chaos. But the outcome was unexpected. Charlene used her position to get closer to Thorne but knew when to draw the line and never overstepped. 

Perhaps aiming to impress Thorne, Charlene worked diligently and exhibited exceptional skills, adhering to company policies even through pregnancy and childbirth, without seeking special treatment. Over the years, Charlene rose to become the head of the secretarial department. 

Mosh had always noticed Charlene’s feelings for Thorne. 

Josh was shocked that Charlene resigned. He just couldn’t believe she would leave on her own accord. If Charlene was resigning, Josh figured it must be due to some unknown issue between her and Thorne, leading Thorne to demand her resignation. 

Although feeling pitiful to lose such a capable employee as Charlene, Josh handled it professionally. “I’ve accepted your resignation letter, and I’ll arrange for someone to take over your duties as soon as possible.” 

“Okay, thanks.” Charlene nodded and returned to her desk. 

After busying himself, Josh reported to Thorne online about the work. When they nearly finished, he remembered Charlene’s resignation. “Oh, Mr. Henderson, regarding-” 

Although he told Charlene he would arrange for her replacement soon, he still wanted to probe Thorne’s intentions about when exactly Charlene should leave. He would arrange it immediately if Thorne wanted Charlene out by tomorrow. 

But as he was about to speak, he remembered Thorne’s directive at Charlene’s hiring that matters concerning Charlene would be handled according to company policy without needing to report specifically to him. Thorne wouldn’t interfere. 

Indeed, over the years, Thorne never inquired about Charlene at the company. Whenever he saw Charlene at work, he treated her like a stranger. 

Over the years, Charlene stood out with her performance. Before a planned promotion a few years ago, considering Thorne’s disapproval of Charlene, they had even mentioned it to Thorne, suggesting they would drop the matter if he objected. 

Thorne frowned, impatiently reiterating he wouldn’t interfere, and instructed them to follow the future policy regarding Charlene’s matters.
