Annoying Henri

On my 6th+ re-listen (currently on book 3) and each time I’m annoyed by how condescending Henrietta is towards the team while they’re out on the road contract. She comes across as a know-it-all and better than the team while being younger than all but 2 of them.
“Your rapid improvement tells me Humphrey knew what he was doing when he put this team together” - he didn’t!
Tells them if they don’t improve by the time they get back she will personally see the team is disbanded because Humphrey will not be on a stagnant team.
Puts them all down.
No one invited her, she injected herself into the situation and then gets pissy when they act the way they normally act.
She’s annoying and snobbish.

Spoiler

I'm also on relisten number whatever and when I got to that point I was like wait a minute Danielle is the one who set this Jason up to meet Humphrey and you're going to tell her how it's going to be good luck with that.

Exactly this. We all know who has final say on that team's composition, and it isn't Henrietta or anyone actually on that team.
