The accomplishment of light

26

  —————-
   
    It had been days of dress fittings, party plans and far too many boring preparations for ellas wedding. We had spent the rest of the time having everything signed over into me and Carter's name, we officially owned all Mcgregor firms, from architecture and banks to malls and suppliers, all of whom are under our name and that has nothing to do with the town that we own and run within the pack.
   
    they alone are a handful and I'm honestly not sure how dad ever did it alone. Daniel and Rob had stepped up in a huge way and took much of the burdens off our shoulders, we divided up the rest between me and Carter, me taking the suppliers and the architectural side over as Carter does the rest.
   
    I also had pack business to attend to, like keeping track of new members and being there for those who were turning 18 and had nobody to be with them as they transitioned for the first time, we had an orphanage that me and mum took a keen interest in and different scholarships and programs to help them adjust to pack life when they come of age.
   
    It would take time to adjust to all the work but I was determined to be as good at running this pack as my parents are. We worked until our eyes could no longer focus, finally giving in after the sun had set and mum called us for dinner.
   
    They were just about ready to break ground on my parents' new house and they had moved in with us. They had been on their best behaviour when it came to me and Carter but it was nice to eat every meal with them again.
   
    My stomach rumbled as I smelled the stew my mother had made, I was famished as Carter scooped me up kissing my lips and taking a seat at the table as dads sat down.
   
    "Did you get it finished?"
   
    Jaxon asks me I nod my head
   
    "Yes but I don't like his finished plans dad, it's too bleak. Not near enough art for a museum"
   
    He sighs shaking his head
   
    "It's not our job to change it, if that's what they asked for and they have agreed to then it's our job to give them a price"
   
    I roll my eyes, I hated our head designer, she was a pompous overpaid lazy bitch with absolutely no vision
   
    "Fine whatever you say but when the feedback and reviews come back as mediocre at best you have no one to blame but yourself"
   
    Scott and Carter snort as jaxon freezes, his eyebrows shoot up in surprise
   
    "No we will have the designer to blame"
   
    I snort shaking my head
   
    "You can kick the blame around all you want but if my name was going on a building I know for certain it would be the best of the best not a design that is wasteful and at best average, it certainly wouldn't depend on the design of someone who knows absolutely nothing about art or economics and definitely not by someone who's too lazy to do the groundwork herself"
   
    I pile my plate high and avoid the stares of those at the table.
   
    "And in your opinion you think gena is all those things?"
   
    Dad asks clearly amused
   
    "Honestly I was being polite, I think a lot less of her than that and I think she brings the standards of our company down ten folds. I understand people may view her as drop dead gorgeous and get distracted by her tits hanging out of her top and her ass hanging out of her skirt instead of concentrating on the work she lazily put together but thankfully I have no attraction to her and I can see her for who she really is"
   
    Mum spews milk all over the table choking on it then she bangs the table and hysterically laughs. As Carter stuffs his face in my hair and jaxon stared at me wide eyed.
   
    "She has a point her tits are always out and she tries to push them on you too, I swear she's going to have a bend in her spine soon the way she walks around with her chest puffed up"
   
    Scott tells us pushing out his chest with his hands and swinging it from side to side. I giggle as mum nods her head
   
    "Yes and she does the whole duck face thing too"
   
    Mum sucks in her cheeks and pushes her boobs out
   
    "Your all crazy I don't even notice"
   
    Mum and Scott both snort at jaxon he frowns
   
    "What I don't"
   
   
   He says innocently, my other parents clearly did not agree
   
    "If you believe that your not only lying to us but your lying to yourself too"
   
    Mum scolds him, I grin at her taking a bite of food as jaxon sends a glare my way, pissed that I got him in trouble
   
    "Yeah you definitely notice"
   
    Scott adds looking back to me
   
    "What would you do to resolve the problem?"
   
    I swallow and clear my throat
   
    "Iv already put a dress code in place and I have a spy working for me on the inside to make sure she's behaving herself, you might let her tarnish your name but she won't tarnish mine"
   
    Dad screws up his nose, dropping his fork
   
    "You are a total bitch you know that?"
   
    Jaxon tells me more amused then anything, he just couldn't help it because he knows I'm telling the truth
   
    "Maybe I am but I made sure that the dress code is proper and if anyone is found in a state that is not in the best reflection of the company they will be fired. I also suggest we bring in another designer that I found and have her approve genas designs before she shows them to the clients"
   
    I tell him before swallowing a lump full of food
   
    "And who's this designer"
   
    "Me"
   
    I grin deviously, They all stop, except mum who smirks at me, she gives me a subtle wink and I smile eating more.
   
    "You want to be the head designer and work with someone you don't like?"
   
    I shrug at dad
   
    "Well pretty soon she will fuck up and I will thankfully be the only designer. The woman has no idea what she's doing it's very clear to me a weak minded man gave her the job in the first place"
   
    I look to dad and he snorts shaking his head
   
    "That weak minded man would be under your ass"
   
    Carter growls as I gasp turning around and pushing my food away
   
    "You did not! When the hell did you hire her?"
   
    "It was like 3 years ago"
   
    He whispers as I growl looking back to dad
   
    "You let a horny 15 year old boy who was clearly delusional choose the head designer of our biggest company. I don't know who I should slap first"
   
    I snap at him
   
    "Oh please slap them both this is rather entertaining"
   
    Scott smirks at me
   
    "I was not delusional nor horny"
   
    I snort standing up and pulling my plate across the table and I sat between mum and dad glaring at Carter
   
    "Obviously you were"
   
    I snap taking a mouthful and ignoring him, his jaw was slack
