Charlene had no idea what was going on between Thorne and Dalton. After her dinner with Stewart, she returned to the office to continue working.

On Wednesday, Charlene received a call from Kendal Underwood, inviting her over for dinner that weekend. “Minnie will be there too,” he mentioned.

Charlene paused for a moment, then replied, “Sure, sounds good.”

By Friday afternoon, Charlene was in the middle of a meeting when her phone buzzed unexpectedly. As she moved to answer, the call disconnected. Seeing it was from an unfamiliar number, she decided to ignore it and focus on the meeting.

It was Janetta who had tried to call her. Since Wednesday, Janetta had officially joined The Harden Group. She wanted to share with Charlene that she’d be working at The Harden Group and would be settling down in Starfall. But just as she was about to tell her, Janetta recalled Leah’s words about Thorne’s friends, like Granger, who were indifferent to Charlene regardless of her attempts to befriend them. They had, however, readily accepted Vesta.

Janetta worried that if Charlene learned Vesta had helped her get the job, it might upset her, so she quickly hung up.

After work, at Laverne’s urging, Janetta went back to the Hawkins household. As she neared the mansion, she noticed several unfamiliar luxury cars parked out front.

Before arriving in Starfall, Laverne had told her that many of the city’s elite were aware of the relationship between Vesta and Thorne. Thorne’s favor towards Vesta was well–known within their social circle.
