Question
which narrative point of view is shown in the passage?
baley stepped in and said, \you want to see me, commissioner?\
enderby looked up. he wore spectacles because his eyes were sensitive. . . . baley had a strong notion that the commissioner valued his glasses for the personality they lent him and suspected that his eyeballs werent as sensitive as all that.
the commissioner looked definitely nervous. he straightened his cuffs, leaned back, and said, too heartily, \sit down, lije. sit down.\ . . .
baley thought: somethings wrong with his face.

The passage uses third-person pronouns (he, his) to refer to characters, and it accesses the thoughts of one character (Baley) without using first-person ("I") narration. First-person uses "I/we" and second-person uses "you", which are not present here.
