Chapter 450

Dalton Ramirez had arrived, slipping into the second row, just behind and off to

the side of Charlene and Thorne.

He was running a little late.

As he was about to take his seat, he caught sight of Thorne turning toward Charlene, striking up a conversation.

When Charlene ignored him, the smile on Thorne's face faltered ever so slightly.

Dalton's expression darkened.

He couldn't say exactly why, but he'd always felt that Thorne treated Charlene a bit differently.

He'd noticed before that Thorne seemed rather interested in her. But in recent months, since there'd been no rumors or inappropriate behavior between them, Dalton had started to think maybe Thorne's interest had faded.

Clearly, he'd been mistaken.

Dalton's scrutiny was so open that Thorne couldn't help but notice. Thorne glanced over. "Mr. Ramirez, you made it."

Dalton masked his annoyance, his tone cool as he replied, "Yes."
