Chapter 302

After work, Charlene and Stewart arrived at Kenton’s villa just as Kenton was frowning into his phone, deep in conversation.

Seeing them, he ended the call, sat down, and said, “I’ve gone through your latest research. There are a few folks interested in meeting you. I’ll introduce you when the opportunity arises.”

Charlene nodded obediently. “Okay.”

She paused suddenly as she scanned through them.

Stewart, who was nearby, noticed her change in expression and asked, “What’s up?”

“Vesta’s resume,” Charlene replied.

Stewart raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “She actually applied again? Talk about persistence.”
