Some context to help: they've just talked about the fake freeze scene and Jacqueline is dying to know if Jack actually fell for it for real.

[it takes place after this section:]

I made a show of thinking, scratching my chin and looking up thoughtfully. "I might have some time later. Assuming the cocoa is normal and not some hippy healthy cocoa. Gross."

"Don't knock it until you try it! It tastes almost the same as normal cocoa," Jack said, wounded. "Regular cocoa could be arranged, of course. I'm nothing but accommodating."

"Then maybe later," I answered. "If I'm feeling it. Now if you'll excuse me…" And with that, I continued walking alongside the Dome. Jack turned on his heel and made his way back to the workshop.

As soon as he was out of sight, I smirked. Well played Jacqueline, I thought, continuing my walk. Well played.

As Jack walked away, he smirked. Well played Jack, he thought. Well played.

Incredibly well so, he thought. The amount of times he had to bite back defences! His poor ego was more than wounded and he would definitely have to take the rest of the day off to recover from this uncomfortable encounter. There was, of course, one very big pro for him though, despite the wounded ego.

He had seen for himself and he could confirm that the rumours were true—Jacqueline was frozen solid. It was too elaborate for her to fake it. Most importantly, her accusations were gone, replaced instead by well placed jabs to his character, though he'd never admit that to her face. More or less all pros for him; he must be right. This frozen Jacqueline thing would definitely be good for him.

Granted, having her close by probably would make it harder for him to go about his plans. But he had been thinking about that; Jacqueline hadn't been at the meeting when Mother Nature warned that they would be keeping an eye on him. And if Jacqueline was anything like he thought her to be, she wouldn't have gone back to ask Mother Nature what she missed; she would be furious and take her anger out on some unsuspecting rural town.
