Was she supposed to wait here for James Black's return, then endure a scolding from him, or should she turn around and sneak back unnoticed?
Since James hadn't caught her attempting to escape, she could avoid having to face his black face.
Of course, more importantly, standing alone in the elevator room waiting for James to return would make one look like an idiot.
In the end, Jane Sampson chose the former option, her left hand in her pocket as she headed back to where she had sneaked away from just now.

When Jane Sampson returned to the spot she'd sneaked away from at seven o'clock, she was stunned to find James Black standing there, watching her, and she quickly slammed on the brakes.
"Where have you been?" James's voice was cool, obviously, he had been waiting for her for a while.
