Chapter 5
"I'll come back when you are not busy" Corday said
"Oh No this is too good. You have to tell me how it is possible that the two of you know each other. " Robert asked he glanced at Jane and the look on her face was a combination of irritation and dislike
"We went to boarding school together," Jane said flatly
"Oh. That's fun. Let me guess. Lizzie you were the quiet studious type and Jane well you would be a lot like that crew I examined this morning" He enjoyed this situation
'Something like that. I must be going now" Jane looked at her watch, picked up her coat and left the room without saying good bye or even looking at Romano or Corday.
"Don't leave" He snapped at Corday and followed Jane into the hall, she got in the elevator before he could catch her.
Back in Romano's office
"Robert, you know it really doesn't surprise me to see that woman in your office. I hope for your sake that was a professional visit." She said
"It is really none of your business. But, I would be very interested to know why you just said that." He looked at Lizzie.
"Maybe she is not like I remember her, people change. I am nothing like I was then. She was a little dangerous and she didn't finish at my school. I really don't know a lot about her. I just remembered those eyes now that is the one thing that has not changed about her."
"Quit beating around the bush. Either tell me why you obviously dislike her or get on with whatever business you barged in her about" He was more that a little irritated that he had not caught up with Jane.
Corday was thrown off by his irritation. Lately she had not seen this side of Robert. He had been on his best behavior with her for a long time.
"I came in here to let you know that your surgery was canceled, he died and that I need the room for a ---" she never finished Romano was waving her away and nodding his agreement as he dialed the phone "If you want to know her story ask her." She left his office feeling oddly disappointed; usually she got Robert's full attention.
