In control, that's how I like it.

Some part of the Onceler does distantly know that he ought to defer to Evelynn’s advice, as she has been in business for a lot longer than he has.  In fact, he doesn’t think that he can remember a time when she wasn’t in the spotlight, though his memory might be a little impaired by the alcohol swimming in his veins right now.

He thought that he had a high tolerance, but Evelynn still seems as dignified and undaunted as ever.

“Sure, I am careful,” he says.  “I’ve got the best people money can buy on the security side of things.”  It is not that he is completely technologically illiterate, but he doesn’t really know enough about things like firewalls and all that other hacker lingo.

Lifting her refilled glass Evelynn takes a delicate sip of her drink. 

“Oops.” Mischievously she puts a finger to her lips, sharp smile wide beneath. “It seems I’ve slipped their leash.” An easy feat for her, even without using her powers. Mortals are so easily distracted by the smallest things. “Honestly I should fire them and hire someone who can actually do their job, but then I wouldn’t get to have any fun.” 

She listens intently as he speaks and she knows well the nature of contracts and secrets in this business. So instead of pushing as one might expect Evelynn instead gives a slight nod.

“Ah, say no more darling. I understand. I look forward to hearing more about it when the time comes. I’m sure it will be a grand affair.”
