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 becThome'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 outcwas 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,

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.
Seeing Josh hesitate, Thorne frowned, “What is it?”
