what does "none taken"here mean? “He doesn’t have time to waste on underlings. He’s too important. I get him.” “Yeah, he made that clear,” Mike agreed. “So, he comes in later that week. Expensive suit, two-hundred-dollar haircut. He’s got that enti-tled, prep-school superiority all over him. No offense, you probably went to one.” “I did, and none taken. I know the type.”

"None taken" is in response to the comment "no offence". Sometimes you might hear "no offence intended" too. Or in other words: "No offense": "I don't mean to offend you" or "I don't mean to upset you deliberately" "None taken": "No offence taken" or "I didn't take offence" or "You didn't upset me." The first speaker described a stereotype before he realised his companion could fit the same description, so he said "no offence" as soon as he realised to not cause upset. Hope that helps!
