The Girl in the Face of the Clock (2001)
“Jane arrived at Kennedy International airport a little after 10 a.m. local time.
After clearing Customs with nothing to declare but a blouse from Harrods, several cans of tea from Fortnum & Mason, and a pounding headache, she took a cab directly to the offices of Ombi-Corp International on Sixth Avenue. Having had a long weekend of cooling her heels playing American tourist in London, she didn’t intend to wait another minute to confront Mr. Theodore B. Danko.
Jane finessed the young woman at re...ception whom she had previously befriended, then made her way to Danko’s offices. She hadn’t been in this part of the building before, and it took another ten minutes to make her way through three dressed-for-success secretarial gatekeepers. All of them were less than impressed with Jane’s black travel blazer that now had thirty-five hundred miles worth of wrinkles in it. After satisfying each of them that she didn’t intend to leave until he saw her, however, Jane was finally admitted to Danko’s private office, a light-filled suite twice the size of Perry Mannerback’s.MoreLess
