The Analyses of the text.

Olive is the governor of Kentucky and a womanizer, and Tager is his chief secretary.
They talk about Oliver's private secretary, Miriam now.

"That's a pretty woman," Tager said. He looked over at Oliver.
"Yes."
"Oliver, you are being careful, are't you?"
"Of course I am. That's why I had you get that little apartment for me."
"I mean big-time careful. The stakes have gone up.
<From "Best Laid Plans" by Sidney Sheldon>

I'd like to know if "being" is implied before "big-time" and what "The stakes have gone up" means.
Thank you in advance for your help.
