"Thanks but you're only saying that because you're used to me," he replied grimly.

Still. Adam knew the effect he had on people and he didn't want it to mess with their business when it was just starting out. It was better for him not to be affiliated with it at all. 

"…I can handle the interviews," Callie said. 

And she did. She managed to get several helpers and begin training them within the next week.
