I knew that we should have been more proactive in asserting ourselves in that last crossroads. Now I fear that we are walking on thin ice in this realm of office politics. I fear how this will reflect on our performance evaluation in the future, but to make the best of a foreboding situation I’m going to have to go with [C].

Okay, so Eva's saying no one will miss us and that this is a "worthwhile sacrifice," and Arnold's first reaction was to mention that she didn't get approval instead of being concerned that we're clearly being mistreated. I was cool to let things ride until there was a reason to do otherwise, and I think that reason has presented itself.

I'm going with C. Staying with Eva is definitely going to end with us dead, and I'm getting a "clean up this mess before it makes the company look bad" vibe from Arnold. We have to gamble and try to find someone new to help us.
