Cave attempted to understand the suggested assistant-ception, and failed.
"Anyway, there really isn't money in the budget for that right now sweetheart. Perhaps after the next round of hiring."
While Caroline's departure had indeed freed up a significant chunk of money, he had to keep that money open in anticipation of a new head of research, a title that was unofficially held by his former assistant. While he was more than capable of running things on the business side, he would begrudgingly have to admit he didn't actually know enough about science to work the research side of things.
Unfortunately, he'd either found all potential applicants rude, incompetent, or as disgusting as all get out. The position went brutally unfilled in Caroline's absence.
