Janet's people had been following Noelle, but they had not found anything suspicious about her. Every time, Noelle either went straight home after work or spent time with colleagues shopping or dining. She had absolutely no contact with Charles.

The people tailing Noelle were assigned to Janet by the Bakers. Janet was aware of their capabilities and did not question their findings.
