George tells Lennie to just stand there and not say anything until after they get jobs and work for a little while.
The boss suspects that George is taking advantage of Lennie by making decisions for him and speaking on his behalf. He questions the nature of their relationship and whether George is exploiting Lennie in some way.
George and Lennie have a close, dependent relationship. George is like a caregiver to Lennie, who has mental disabilities.

Despite George occasionally getting frustrated with Lennie, their bond is strong, with both relying on each other for companionship and survival.

Lennie and George met when George's aunt Clara passed away and Lennie's Aunt Clara died. George was friends with Lennie's Aunt Clara, and Lennie's Aunt Clara had asked George to look out for Lennie after she passed away. George agreed to take care of Lennie and they formed a strong bond based on mutual dependence and friendship.
In "Of Mice and Men," Lennie Small is taken advantage of by both George and others. One instance is when George tells Slim how he used Lennie's strength to get them work. This can be found in Chapter 3 of the novel. Additionally, Curley's wife manipulates Lennie's naive nature to confide in her, leading to the tragic end of the story in Chapter 5.

In Chapter 1, the relationship between George and Lennie is one of companionship and mutual dependency. George acts as a protector and caretaker for Lennie, who has a mental disability, while Lennie looks up to George as his guide and source of comfort. Despite their differences, they share a strong bond rooted in their shared dream of owning a piece of land and living a better life. This relationship sets the foundation for their journey throughout the story.
In Chapter 3 of "Of Mice and Men," the main characters George and Lennie are joined by Slim, Candy, and Carlson, who work on the ranch with them. The chapter depicts interactions between these characters and highlights their personalities and relationships.
Lennie is lonely in "Of Mice and Men" because he struggles to connect with others due to his mental limitations.

His desire for companionship and understanding is evident in his interactions with animals and in his repeated longing to live on a farm with George.
