Chapter 24

ROBERT'S POV

Yes! Now I knew what Emily was calling so desperately about. She wanted to tell me something about Flora but why couldn't she pick up the damn phone?!

I had only succeeded in aggravating my feelings of unease because Emily was not picking up the phone.

Angry and frustrated, I began to kick the chairs in the office and angrily swept off the many files and documents off the table. What was it about Flora I needed to know?

What angered me the more was I didn't even know anything about Emily or where she lived.

I sat alone in the dark office for what seemed like eternity lost in thoughts and stewing in anger when it suddenly dawned on me that the Vanderbilts had a close relationship with Emily.

Had Margaret not mentioned that Emily worked for a friend of hers?

Filled with sudden vigor, I leaped from the chair and headed for the parking lot. It was raining lightly as I entered my car and zoomed off. On my way, I decided to head home and put off the journey till tomorrow.
