She knew he was hurt already, but so was she and staying here right now could potentially turn into a nuclear meltdown. Becca needed time to calm herself down and think it through. There was nothing more painful than seeing your protege taking your job, especially when they had no option but to flaunt it in your face.
He swallowed hard but knew that he had to do something. If he didn't she'd only be hurt more and more and it would make things only worse. "If you want to go back to Italy, we will. And I will resign here if it's what you want. It'll give you a shot at the position, you can apply immediately and I'll step back." He wasn't doing it to be generous. He was saying that because she was way more qualified than he was. He was only stating the truth. He didn't show like it showed he was hurt. He didn't have pain or irritation in his eyes or face. He just wanted her okay, and knew what it might mean.
