Corporate Evil
Eve watched the boy as he walked around Angel's office. The boss was out right now, and she was grateful for that. The girls were in a separate board room, and as far as Eve knew, none of Angel's people even knew the Baudelaire orphans were in the building. She smiled sympathetically at the boy.
"Klaus, we've heard about the unfortunate things that have befallen you and your siblings."
"And who are you?" he said guardedly.
"My name's Eve and I'm hear to help, no, guide you and your siblings to safety."
"Why should I believe you?"
"Because I'm an adult."
"So is Count Olaf, and he's an evil psychopath."
"Olaf. . . "
"Yes, the other person who tried to kill me and my sisters in order to get his hands on our parents fortune."
"I know who he is!"
"Eve, what's going on here?" Angel burst through the doors with the other Baudelaire children, and Eve felt her hopes sinking.
"Just trying to help the hopeless, boss."
"I'll believe that when hell freezes over," Angel and Klaus said at the same time.
"I like the way you think, kid."
