Chapter 245 Lilah

• I watched Jake stand in the doorway of the room as Rose walks down the corridor away from the conference room. She seemed quite happy to walk away from him, relieved almost, and like there was no issue in leaving her newly-fated mate. But Jake bless him, he looks confused and unsure right now. And to be honest, I can understand why. She did not give much away. She was a truly closed book. Hiding something, I am almost certain of that.
• Did she want him? But at a later time? There seemed to be no instant connection like there had been with Dan and Indie, or Manny and Lola. Or any fated mates I had seen meet. It seemed so bizarre. She seemed very standoffish. Or was she simply hiding it? Fighting it because she was scared? Simply because she did not expect it to happen like she had said? It just seems so odd. There seemed to be nothing from her whatsoever. Though she had infuriated me and I wanted to rip her apart. Being so disrespectful of me and of Jake too. That is not how you act to senior pack members of another pack, or business associates.
• I need to see what Knox makes of all this first before we make a decision. But the way she had been was not a good indication of her business prowess. My gut instinct was to cut ties with their business now, and I don’t know why. Perhaps they weren’t quite as decent as we first thought. I usually follow my gut instinct when it comes to the business and it hasn't done me wrong so far, and that is what is bothering me here. This is Jake's potential mate. I don't want to cause problems. Though I would say she is capable of causing plenty of them herself. I hear Jake sigh.
