Evangeline steps out of the club, deep in thought. The servant follower her a few steps, but an absentminded wave sent him thankfully back to his post.
"Is Otto using me?" She considers, not for the first time. Syndicate members were not know for their charity, and there must be a reason behind such large sums of money.
Perhaps he was attracted to her? The thought seemed unlikely, and even if so, was almost assuredly for base reasons. She had no desire to become one of his 'girls', whoring oneself out for money and power was for Lady Crofte, not herself. Though perhaps, if true, she could take advantage of his feelings for a time. The man was not unattractive, nor dull in conversation...
Evangeline shakes her head, "Foolishness..." she mutters. Either way, she decides, she is getting what is needed. When the time comes to pay for Otto's favors, only then will she worry what the price might be.
