Chapter 787

A moment later, Granger successfully appeared in front of Charlene. “Mr. Ferguson, Director Ross.”

Charlene and Stewart nodded. “Mr. Harden.”

Granger said to Charlene, “I watched the live broadcast of you winning the award last week. Congratulations.”

He didn’t just watch it; he had actually wanted to go to the venue to witness her joy with his own eyes and congratulate her in person.

However, he was really tied up those few days and couldn’t get away. In the end, he didn’t make it.

Charlene: “Thank you.”

On the day she won the award, Granger had also sent her a text to congratulate her. Now hearing him congratulate her again, Charlene assumed he just didn’t know what to talk about with her and Stewart, so he deliberately brought it up.

Granger wanted to say a few more words to Charlene. However, at that moment, Gaylord Hearst arrived. Naturally, he saw Granger, but he completely acted as if he hadn’t. He only greeted Charlene and Stewart. “Charlene, Mr. Ferguson.”

Normally at the company, Gaylord would call her Director Ross.

Who knew when it had started, but once they left formal work settings, he just started calling her “Charlene” directly.

Stewart knew that Gaylord was younger than Charlene, and Granger had also looked into Gaylord’s background, so naturally, he knew this too.

Gaylord was younger than Charlene, yet he called her by her first name. But because he had outstanding looks and a magnetic, pleasant voice, it didn’t sound abrupt at all. Instead, it had a kind of gentleness that coexisted with a younger man’s earnestness and dominance.

Not going to lie, it sounded pretty good.

Stewart smiled and gave a light cough to cover it up.

Granger pursed his lips, feeling that Gaylord had overstepped a bit.

Gaylord didn’t call her that very often, and Charlene wasn’t quite used to hearing it. But at other times, Gaylord knew his boundaries well and was always very hardworking and serious about his job. She was helpless and couldn’t really reprimand him for it.

Meeting the burning affection in his eyes, she silently turned her face away.

Both Granger and Gaylord were hovering around Charlene, which Vesta and Corinne naturally noticed from across the room.

Vesta lowered her eyes.

Corinne’s complexion was already somewhat better than when Granger had left earlier.

She and Vesta had seen Gaylord when he first arrived, but Gaylord only had eyes for Charlene. After entering the banquet hall, be immediately made a beeline for her,

paying absolutely no to

them.

As for Granger, she had heard before that because of corporate collaborations, Granger now maintained a decent surface-level relationship with Charlene, and Stewart, so she didn’t think much of

it.

Seeing how Gaylord only had eyes for Charlene, she scoffed coldly, “Gaylord’s eyes are practically glued to Charlene. He shifted his affections to her pretty thoroughly.”

Vesta gripped her wine glass and gave a faint “Hmm.”

At this moment, Dalton Ramirez and York Watson also arrived.

They had only been in the banquet hall for a short while when they spotted Thorne and Vesta’s grou Dalton couldn’t hold back and walked directly over. “Mr.

Henderson, Ms. Hawkins.”

Thorne nodded. “Mr. Ramirez, Mr. Watson.”

Then, his gaze fell on York. “Are you done with your work, Mr. Watson?”

York nodded. “I’m on vacation these few days.”

Vesta snapped back to reality. Seeing York, she was also a bit surprised.

She hadn’t seen York for quite a while either.

York’s gaze met Corinne’s exactly. York’s expression was natural as he greeted her calmly, “Ms. Lancaster.”

Corinne also smiled. “It’s been a while.”

Dalton: “You two know each other?”

York didn’t reply, but Corinne directly smiled and said, “I had the honor of going on a blind date with Mr. Watson a while ago.”

Dalton raised his eyebrows and looked at York. “So, the person you had a blind date with was Ms. Lancaster?”
