"I don't think anyone could argue that you haven't gone well above and beyond what's required of you." In truth, the same could also be said of Edgeworth. His entire life revolved around his work, and he was driven--compelled, even--to work harder and give more of himself to his cause, day in and day out.

Fortunately for him, Rogers had no way of knowing that.

Their surreptitious audience was still beyond Edgeworth's notice. He was too busy wrangling with Rogers' unwelcome positivity to pay much attention to anything else. It was probably for the best--if he had any idea they were being watched so closely he might have felt the need to beat a hasty retreat.
