If Charcoal is not notified of Dante's performance within a reasonable time, then Charcoal may treat the offer as having lapsed. This is because a unilateral contract requires the offeree to take some action for acceptance, and if that action is not taken within a reasonable time, the offer may be considered to have lapsed. Charcoal is not obligated to assume that Dante has started to perform or contact Dante, nor is Charcoal required to make an offer to Ember.
