Charlene paused, stepping aside to let him through.
She assumed Thorne had cback to grab sthings.
After all, his luggage was still here.
* But when Thentered, he casually shut the door behind him. It looked like he wasn't planning on going out again that evening.
Charlene was taken aback. Before she could say anything, Thorne brushed past her and went inside.

And there was something else... lipstick mark on the collar of his pajamas, He had just taken a shower, and the pajamas were freshly put on.

At first glance, his lips seemed redder than usual; Charlene had thought it was her imagination.
Now, it was evident it wasn't.
Thorne had already taken a seat by the bed.
It seemed he was planning to stay the night.
This was somewhat unexpected for Charlene. She had thought- But considering Irma's watchful eyes around, it made sense he wouldn't spend the night with Vesta.
So, Vesta had clooking for him personally because she was worried about him and Charlene? Concerned something might happen between them? And given the fresh scent of Vesta's perfand the lipstick mark, it was clear Thorne and Vesta had shared passionate kiss- Charlene shook off her thoughts.

Thorne responded, “Okay, I'll ask next tbefore taking it.' Next time? She doubted, given their current relationship, there would be another occasion where they'd be forced to share a room like this.

a The room was silent.
Thorne was gone.
He must have left early... Perhaps, he hadn't slept in the room at all last night. She had arranged with Stewart to return to the company to handle smatters. After breakfast, she packed her things and dragged her suitcase out the door.
Just as she opened the door, she heard Jasmine's voice from down the hall, "Ms. Hawkins is sohaughty. She promised to sleep over but sneaked back to her own room in the middle of the night." Jasmine was complaining to Latonia.
Hearing this, Charlene could almost be certain that Thorne Thhadn't spent the night with her, but had instead gone to Vesta's room. Couldn't even last one night without each other, huh?
