Chapter 472 - Basketball and Business 6 (1/2)
Jake went to meet Kate and Lily at a more elegant restaurant that was more appropriate to talk business, this restaurant could also drive away from the paparazzi who were trying to find out if Jake and Kate were really together and wanted to take a picture of them together.
This time Jake can't take Kate by car and went to meet them at the restaurant, they were both dressed elegantly, Kate was wearing a simpler blue dress and Lily was wearing a green dress.
”Good night to you, it's nice to meet you in person, Lily.”
”It's a pleasure to be able to talk to you too, Jake, I've seen you a few times, but we haven't had a chance to talk.”
”I wanted to thank you for taking such good care of Kate for all these years, she always speaks very highly of you and I know you have always supported her and helped her career to succeed.”
”Thanks, even though I always liked Kate a lot it was my job to take care of her career and other singers too, it was Kate's talent and effort that brought her success.”
”I certainly know that Kate is very talented and hardworking, and she deserves all the success she is having, but I also know that without a good businesswoman, her career would not have been so successful.”
”I know that a businesswoman for a singer is like a coach for an athlete like me or a good manager for a manager, I only succeeded in basketball and marathons because I had good coaches and I only succeeded in my investments because I have Emily who helps me with everything.”
Lily felt Jake's sincerity in those words and was grateful to him for the compliments, Kate was also very happy that Lily and Jake were getting along, Lily was the most important person in Kate's life after Jake now that she had no family.
Lily was like an older sister that Kate always wanted to have and Kate knew that Lily spent a lot more time helping her than the other artists in her company, and just like Jake said, Kate thought that without Lily she would never have the success that had.
Lily liked Jake very much and really thought he was the ideal boyfriend for Kate since she always needed to travel and could never be like ordinary women, Jake also always needed to travel and it would be easy for Kate to take a vacation when Jake was on vacation and they would have a few months together.
But Lily knew how many men there were who just seemed to be the perfect man, but actually wanted to deceive women and just enjoy it, even though Lily thought Jake wasn't like that because of the way he treated his mother, she had to know for the good Kate.
So the three talked happily without talking about any more serious matter, when Kate had to go to the bathroom Lily didn't go with her and stayed to talk to Jake more when Kate left Lily decided to ask Jake more serious questions.
”Jake, I'm going, to be honest with you, I had a great first impression of you and I think you are a really great person by the way you treat your mom, but I'm still worried about Kate.”
”She met you the day her parents died and said that she had liked you very much since the first time you met, but my fear is that the shock caused by her parents' death and the fact that Kate stayed talking to you saved her life may be misleading her feelings.”
”Do you really think that could be possible?”
”I don't know, I don't think it's possible because you guys saw each other again when Kate had already recovered from the trauma of her parents' death, what may have happened is that the feelings she already had only intensified because you saved her her life.”
”So I have to tell you, I have been working in the world of artists for many years and I have learned to recognize when someone is lying, so I am going to ask some questions while Kate is not here.”
”Do you really love Kate?”
”Yes, I can't explain if it's really love, but I can say that I never felt what I feel for Kate for anyone before, it's a very strong feeling that I have felt since the first time I met her and it just increased. last months.”
Lily liked Jake's response and felt that he really was honest saying that he thought he loved Kate, with that she can now be much more relaxed because it meant that Jake was not manipulating Kate's feelings by taking advantage of her fragility.
