Rejected, And Became A Heiress

My Billionaire Please Became 78

Chapter 0078

Cara's POV

"What do you think we should do about the latest trade negotiations?" Eamon asks me, pointing to a piece of paper lying on the desk between us.

Eamon, Colin and I are in Eamon's office discussing pack business. We've been in this meeting for hours, trying to finalize plans for the future of Pack BloodyMoon. It's exhausting mental work, even if my body hasn't left this chair, I feel like I need to rest.

I look out the window and see the sky is dark now. It's nearly the kids' bed time. I should send a text to Ruby, telling her to put them to bed without me.

I reach for my phone and Eamon sees me. "Let's leave the rest of this work until tomorrow. We're done for today.

I raise my eyebrows in surprise, "But we haven't finished even half of the items on the list yet."

I'm confused. Alaric would never let us end a meeting without finishing the work items. He insisted that everyone on the the team should work as hard as he does. I'm just out of practice with late night meetings.

"Yes, but some things are more important than this list," Eamon smiles. "Like family. Go, Cara. Put your children to bed."

My fingers reach for the papers in front of me, but they hesitate just before touching the

stack.

I turn to Eamon, "Are you sure?" I wouldn't blame him if he changed his mind and wanted to finish the list now while we're here.

Colin smiles at me too, "Yes, Cara. Family is always more important than work."

I smile shyly back at them, "Sorry, it's just not what I'm used to..."

Colin laughs, "Yeah, I'm sure of that."

"How do you mean?" I ask, not sure what he's getting at.

"Why do you think my brothers and I dislike Alaric so much, Cara?" Eamon asks me seriously. He folds his hands in front of his closed lips, looking at me.
