Fairfax stopped by her desk on her way in, gave her a project and politely let her know that Mr. Poole was expected in before lunch, but that he requested she remained in the building today. Jane rolled her eyes, “that’s going to get old quickly.” She looked at Mrs. Fairfax, “why didn’t he tell me himself.” “I don’t believe he has your cell phone number dear, and I wouldn’t give it to him.” Jane laughed, “That probably upset him.” “No dear, he’s always appreciated my discretion.” “You can share my number with him Mrs. Fairfax.” “Thank you dear, and will you please stay in the building today?” “Of course.” she answered, turned to her computer and started work. Fifteen minutes later her phone buzzed. Ms. Eyre, I am glad you are well. My business keeps me away from the office, but I intend to be there within two hours. Please do not leave the building without an escort.
