Chapter 504
On Monday, Charlene was back at The Henderson Group for another meeting.
Thorne also had a packed schedule that day, so, unlike before, he didn't make the trip downstairs to sit in on
Charlene's meeting himself.
That didn't stop him from keeping tabs, though. As soon as her meeting ended, Coy and Josh overheard him
asking, "Is the meeting downstairs finished? Has the follow-up proposal been sent up yet? If it's here, bring it to
me."
Thorne's habit of attending Charlene's meetings in person wasn't exactly a secret; Coy and Josh had both noticed
it before. Now, hearing his question, they exchanged a quick glance, then looked at the pile of paperwork
stacked on Thorne's desk.
With Thorne heading out of town on business the next day, every document on his desk had to be reviewed and
signed off before he left. In contrast, the meeting Charlene had just finished was about a project that wouldn't
officially kick off for another month. The proposal on Thorne's mind was really little more than a rough draft-
something he could easily have left until after his trip.
But since he'd asked for it, Josh headed back to his office, found the freshly delivered report, and handed it over.
Though the proposal was technically just an early draft, Charlene's section on the follow-up work was already
impressively thorough. To anyone reading it, the plan felt clear and concrete, with each step mapped out in
detail.
Thorne wasted no tand flipped straight to the action items.
The report was loaded with technical jargon, and both Coy and Josh could only make out bits and pieces. Still, as
Thorne read, Coy noticed the corners of his mouth start to turn up in a rare, genuine smile.

Thorne skimmed for the highlights, flipping pages with increasing speed. In less than three minutes, he'd
breezed through eight or nine densely packed pages. By the the finished, the satisfaction on his face was
unmistakable.
There was no doubt-Thorne was impressed.
Coy and Josh watched, preparing to speak, but before they could, Thorne closed the folder, looked up at them,
and said, "They're probably heading out for lunch soon. Josh, let them know I'll be joining them."
Both Coy and Josh were caught off guard.
It took a moment for Josh to find his voice. "Of course. I'll let them know."
Charlene and her team did have a lunch scheduled that day.
As noon rolled ard around and everyone was getting ready to head out, Mr.
Windsor from The Henderson Group's tech department
approached them "Trust got
word-Mr. Henderson will be joining us for lunch." s
Charlene barely reacted.
Stewart was there as well. At the news, he couldn't help but lean in
and whisper to Charlene, "With the way things are progressing between the two companies theres
reason for him to get involve
What's he coming for?" s
Charlene simply shook her head.
If Stewart didn't know, neither did she.

Their proposal had only just been submitted-how had Thorne managed to review
it so quickly?
