Should I say ‘said’ or ‘asked’ in the sentence?

Should I say ‘said’ or ‘asked’ in the sentence? My personal choice is ‘said.’ Have I correctly used ‘proud of,’ ‘that,’ and ‘giving trivia’ in the sentence?


Proud of his co-workers, Mr. Sy (said, asked) as if he were giving trivia: “Who knows that our secretary is a former beauty queen, that our clerks are multi-awarded employees, and that our utility workers are national awardees?”

I'd delete the phrase as if he were giving trivia.

How about this? eg “Our secretary is a former beauty queen, our clerks are multi-awarded employees, and our utility workers are national awardees.”
