She ran into Vesta twice during these occasions.
However, Thorne wasn't there to accompany Vesta either time.

After one such event, Charlene stepped outside to find it pouring.

Before she even reached the door, she spotted Vesta, who was chatting with someone. Vesta's smile faded slightly when she saw Charlene.
Just then, Thorne appeared in Charlene's line of sight, holding an umbrella. He had clearly cto pick up Vesta.
He took off his overcoat and draped it over Vesta's shoulders.
The people waiting out the rain looked on with envy, and a few even let out little exclamations of admiration.
It was then that Thorne noticed Charlene, hesitating for a moment.
Charlene kept her face straight.
Thorne looked away, opened his umbrella again, and left with Vesta.
The wind was quite blustery that day, but with Thorne's coat shielding her, Vesta wouldn't get wet, even if sraindrops made their way under the umbrella. Thorne's gesture was thoughtful, to say the least.
In a short while, they disappeared out of the entrance.
A little later, Thorne's driver approached Charlene from the parking lot, holding out an umbrella. "Ma'am, Mr. Henderson askedto bring you this." Charlene didn't take it. "No need; you can take it back." Previously, Irma had mentioned that for Jasmine's sake, Thorne had agreed to be cordial with her.
He had shown concern at the last meeting and now was sending an umbrella in front of Vesta...
Vesta must have enough confidence in her relationship with Thorne to allow him to send her an umbrella. She understood that Thorne had no feelings for Charlene and was just being polite because of Jasmine. The driver hesitated. "But..." Charlene insisted, "He won't mind. You can go." The driver, seeing her firm stance, turned back with the umbrella. And indeed, the driver didn't return.

Charlene checked the time, debating whether to keep waiting or to brave the rain- Just then, a familiar voice broke through her thoughts. "Con, I'll give you a ride." It was Granger.
It was getting dark, and who knew how long the rain would last? Charlene didn't refuse, "Thank you." Chapter 32
Granger started to take off his jacket, seemingly intending to offer it to her. Charlene quickly said, No need, I have spare clothes in the car. If I get wet, I can change."
Granger paused, not insisting further, but as they walked out, he positioned himself to block the wind from her. As they descended the steps together, Charlene asked, "Mr. Harden, are you here for the event too?" He wasn't. Granger had heard from Moranthat she'd attended these events recently.
They hadn't worked together much lately, and realizing he missed seeing her, he decided to drop by.
Seeing the slight redness in her ears from the cold, he simply responded, "Yeah," then added, "Got tfor dinner later?" Granger had helped her out, and they would be working together again soon, so having dinner didn't seem like a big deal.
Charlene agreed, "Sure." Chapter 322 Chapter 322
