Neville blinked only for a moment and then moved forward to pat the younger man on the back, "Hey, don't worry about it. I just wanted to be sure we were thinking the same thing. I completely understand if that wasn't what you wanted to do. So you just want a job. Will you be willing to be a manger for the place? Run it and all that? I've got another job that's going to take most of my time and I know I'm not going to have the chance to be about that much. Does that sound better?"
Neville looked slightly concerned; he hadn't meant to put the guy on the spot, and leave it to him to make such a blunder.
