My Mate Is An Omega – Chapter 44
Caitlyn POV
For the next couple of days, I was mostly focused on helping my mate organize the basics to get the company running as fast as we could without actually rushing it. Watching Lance work on this project made me realize how much of a perfectionist he was. He wanted to make sure we would have the best possible start to prevent us from facing unnecessary problems in the future, which made perfect sense. Whether it was a natural instinct or a leadership skill he learned from James, I was definitely impressed.
On Wednesday, we spent the entire day working on the final details, which included calculating startup costs and setting up a launch date. Since we didn’t have a lot of money to spend due to our pack’s current financial situation, we decided to turn one of the vacant houses close to the main building into a temporary workspace until we could actually rent a proper floor on a commercial property. Although our objective was to eventually expand the company to provide services for human clients, our initial goal was to work within the supernatural world. We hoped to use the business as a means to form new alliances to solve our biggest problem – the bear attacks.
