I think we can handle the construction of ours on our own, but of course if I have any questions," he said with a diplomatic smile. "I know where to get them answered." It wasn't often he had to share a project and he was keen to watch someone else at work, but the thought of handing what he was working on over to someone else didn't sit well with him.
