Chapter 340

That morning, Charlene hadn't been at her desk for long when she received the official acceptance notification from the Al Journal.

A little while later, Stewart came over to discuss work. When he found out her paper had been accepted, he wasn't surprised.

With Kenton's endorsement, it was almost guaranteed. If Kenton believed it was solid, Charlene's paper was sure to make it through.

After they wrapped up their conversation, Charlene checked the time. "Want to grab lunch together?" she suggested.

Stewart rubbed his forehead, a bit of weariness in his voice. "Got plans."

Charlene looked up, curious. "What's up?"

Stewart pursed his lips, a bit exasperated. "...It's a blind date. Arranged by my granddad."

Charlene chuckled at that. "You're 28 and this is your first blind date? You've had a good run."

Stewart just shrugged, not saying much.

Truth be told, his family wasn't really pushing him to get married. But since the girl was the granddaughter

of his grandfather's old friend, he found it hard to say no.

Charlene nodded. "Go on then. I'll just hit the cafeteria myself."
