Eliot considers arguing, that at least he should let his father know he's on to him... but maybe he plans to do it in his own, more civilized way. Or has other reasons he doesn't know, not having a lifetime of experience with the backstabbing old bastard. So he takes the response in silence.
"'S'what I'm paid for, boss." By the man who tried to, what? Take advantage of his perceived inexperience? He's not sure what to make of it, honestly, and not sure if he should actually stay on in the position, no matter how lucrative and prestigious it is... given the moss just arguably tried to kill him, even if he would have just been acceptable collateral damage in some kind of feud with his kid. "Gonna have some more hard work comin' up, though," he adds after a moment, not even really thinking it through. "I wanna can an' replace every damn member of staff your father had a hand in hiring, unless you've got reason t'absolutely believe they're personally loyal t'you."
