Emelie replied, "Oh, Mr. Middleton, are you worried about me or Beathan?"

William's expression remained unchanged. "What do you think?"

William paused. "How do you know that?"

Emelie shrugged. "I have a friend who's quite good with computers. He was bored and decided to challenge your defense system. It's top-secret level, no doubt. It took him over an hour to crack the system, but by the time he got in, your conversation was already over, so I didn't hear much."
