Chapter 20: A mark

Killian glanced at the bunch of designs that Inez had placed in front of him and flicked through them one by one.

"Boring, boring...super boring... super-duper boring," he muttered as the waitress returned and placed the dishes that Killian had ordered for the two of them. Given how the woman ducked her head when Inez looked at her, the woman must be laughing at her for even trying.

If she was being honest with herself, Inez too wanted to laugh at her own stupidity.

Did she really think that she could win this man over with her skills? Yes, yes, she did think that maybe her skills would be able to meet the standards of the great Lycan alpha Killian Sokolov.

Now that she was jolted out of her dreams, Inez felt quite self-defeated.

Killian threw the last design on the table but Inez felt the hit on her face. Though she had never claimed that she could meet every request of her client, she had never been rejected in such a manner. It made her question her own skills for a second.

"Is this the best the genius designer could do?" Inez heard Killian ask as the man lounged back in his seat with an arm thrown back. "I thought and expected from someone like her, given how Alpha Dominic claimed that the woman had fantastic skills when it came to designing and redecorating. But it seems like it was no more than a gimmick. What do you think?"

Honestly? The only thing she could think of at the moment was to gouge out those piercing eyes, which were taking in every move and expression of hers. It was the stare of a predator and Inez very much felt like a prey with Killian focusing all of his attention on her.
