"Then, Mr. Dawson, we can't cook dinner here. We'll go out instead," Conroy whispered firmly to Eileen.
Eileen pulled out the steak. "But dining out is costly. We could cut the costs in half by cooking here. Besides, you've got everything we need in the fridge." Conroy halted her actions and demanded, “Didn't you hear me? We're not eating at home. I'll treat Mr. Dawson to dinner at a restaurant!" His voice grew almost ferocious. Worried that Bryan might overhear, he peeked toward the door and lowered his voice. "Just do what I say." "We can't afford to be extravagant. A meal out, by Mr. Dawson's standards, might cost a month's salary. Mr. Dawson is understanding. He won't object to eating here," Eileen said seriously.
If it hadn't been for the sincerity and innocence in Eileen's eyes, Conroy might have thought she was purposely causing trouble for him.

As soon as she finished selecting the ingredients, Bryan entered the kitchen. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's bad enough we dropped in without warning. Can I help with anything?" "There's no need for you to do anything here!" Conroy reacted as if he were confronting a major challenge and quickly ushered Bryan out. “These dishes are simple. I've got it all covered. Dawson, please just make yourself comfortable." "Mr. Finch, you know how to cook?" Bryan asked, his tone relaxed.

Conroy, taken aback, felt as though he had been cornered by his owm words. It must have been the suddenness of their visit that made him feel something was amiss.
Conroy quickly concurred with enthusiasm, only asking Eileen to help by Washing the vegetables.
