Not that his feelings were a secret, but it made Daniel’s job more difficult, and wasn’t very professional either. He considered Noble to be abusing the privilege of having his PA at the conference, and treating Daniel disrespectfully. Ironically, Spen’s regard for Daniel stopped him complaining to Noble directly, even though, since they were both the same managerial grade, he was perfectly entitled to do so. However, complaining was all he could do, and Noble would only take it out on Daniel. Spen was waiting for Noble to unequivocally cross the line in a way that didn’t compromise Daniel, and then he planned to raise holy hell. It wasn’t right that a manager in a company working with vulnerable people should treat a vulnerable employee like shit, especially if he’d done it before. But Spen had to be discreet, so for now he did what he could to protect Daniel and bolster his confidence. The kid had positively bloomed away from the pressures of the office and looking after his brother and sister, even with his boss being a prick.
