The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Swear on Your Life

Although Caspian was now the chairman, he didn’t have an office.

He turned to leave. As he brushed past Willow, he lowered his voice. “Honey, I need some help here. I don’t have an office yet. What should I do?”

He kept his voice low. Only the two of them knew what he said.

However, he called her “honey” in public. So, her cheeks burned with embarrassment.

Willow got wind of how Caspian had been verbally abused by his colleagues.

They had not received their marriage certificates, but he was already her husband to her.

It was natural to avenge her husband.

Without hesitating, she pointed at her office. “Use mine for now. I’ll make some space for you.”

He immediately declined. “No, that won’t do. We have a deal. You’re still the company’s sole decision- maker. How can I occupy your office? I think Mr. Mason’s office will do just fine.”

Willow noticed something earlier. Melanie exchanged a surprised glance with Bobby when she heard

Caspian had become the chairman.

She could somehow guess why they divorced.

Then, Caspian mentioned he would like to occupy David’s office. That confirmed her assumptions.

“Sure!” she said. “I’ll come with you.”

Caspian smiled. He said in a honeyed tone, “Honey, they say there’s a kind of woman who’s one in a million. She’s beautiful, has a good figure, and is wise beyond her age. And that’s you, isn’t it?

“You’re the most brilliant woman I’ve ever met.”

Willow almost drowned in his flattery. She had many admirers. They would always praise her looks and

ambitions.

But he was straight out buttering her up. That was a first for her.

Caspian had made up his mind. He wasn’t in a rush to pick a fight with Bobby.

It was a father’s responsibility to teach his son.

He wanted to confront David and ask him how he raised a homewrecker.

When they neared David’s office, they realized David wasn’t in. He must’ve gone out to pull in sales.

Thomas was trembling as he followed him from a distance. Caspian signaled to him with a wave. “Come here, Tommy. Pack Mr. Mason’s stuff and move them out.”

Thomas was in a dilemma.

He was Bobby’s lackey. He was hoping for Bobby to put in a word for him before David in the future.

But now, Caspian went so far as to instruct him to move David’s stuff out. And to do that when David

wasn’t in the office, too.

If he did, he would rub David up the wrong way.

If he didn’t, he would offend their new chairman.

At that moment, he wasn’t sure what to choose.

He looked pleadingly at Willow. “Ms. Stewart, Mr. Mason’s not in now. We don’t have his permission to move his belongings out. We may misplace important contracts or documents if we proceed. I don’t think

that’s appropriate…”

Willow agreed with him. She nodded. “You’re right.”

Thomas heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard that.

But before he could feel relieved, she continued, “Regarding this, I don’t have a say. Mr. Lynch has the say

now. We have to follow his instructions.”

Thomas gaped after she said that.

Realization dawned on him. Willow and Caspian were on the same team now.

They were fooling around with him.

He turned to Caspian as he ran out of ideas. He looked torn. “Mr. Lynch, where should I put Mr. Mason’s

belongings?”

Caspian didn’t even look at him. He was fiddling with his phone. “This is your task. Yet, you’re asking me

for a solution. If I ask you to print a contract, do I have to teach you how to use the printer? If I have to

teach you step by step, what do I need you for?”

That loser, Caspian, was criticizing him to his face. He never thought there would be a day when this would happen.

Still, he dared not say a word. He stood still, and his cheeks flushed.
