General answer. Clearly something he didn't want to talk about. He didn't want to push the subject. This was not a witness he was interrogating. This was just a guy who lived in his building. Who knew his boss. For now.
What he wanted to know was what his boss had told his new acquaintance about him. "I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall for that conversation," he said wondering if he was going to take the bait and tell him or not.
"I think I'm quite a find," he said sarcastically, and silently adding that he was quite a find for the salary he was getting these days.
