"Jane Tanner? I didn't think that it'd be you," he said in surprise. "I was actually wondering where I should start searching."

He was impressed that he recognized her despite the face mask, too.

As a matter of fact, Harvey had found out that Isaac might invest in the fully artificial heart project and was going to poach a certain doctor from Mead Clinic.

Since Isaac was known not to fail, he wanted to poach the doctor before Isaac could, and then put his own money in the project.
