Jesus, Aaron, Really?

Aaron caught the look but didn’t seem fazed by it at all.

“She’ll be putting in even more hours this summer when she’ll cut down on the amount of classes she takes during a regular semester. I know you and Eileen are just waiting for me to hire enough help so you can bail.”

“We never said we wouldn’t help you if you needed us,” Bea countered a bit too defensively.

Aaron turned to her with a smile. “And I know you would if I did, sweetheart. I’m just saying once I have enough help you won’t have to. With you two gone, I’ll need Henri to run the show on the days I’m not here. All of the potential new hires I have coming in to interview next week are older than she is. Regardless, they need to know and respect who’s in charge when I’m not here, so having her in one of the private offices from the beginning sets precedent.” He turned to me next. “The days you sit in for me I actually want you in my office.”
