The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19 An Unexpected Job Application

“You?” Willow’s mouth fell open in surprise.

“That’s right. Haven’t you noticed? Nicholas offended me because he proposed to you in front of me,” Caspian said.

“Even if he offended you, what does that have to do with Southlake Corporation?” Willow asked.

“That’s because the new CEO of Southlake Corporation is me,” Caspian stated seriously.

“How is that even possible? You, the CEO of Southlake Corporation? Can you be a little more believable when you brag?

“That’s complete nonsense, Southlake Corporation is the largest company in the entire Southlake City!”

Willow did not believe a single word that Caspian was saying.

Caspian felt resigned. He was telling the truth, but Willow didn’t believe him at all.

However, he had anticipated this reaction. After all, there was no way Willow would believe him after he had revealed the truth so suddenly.

Only when he gradually revealed his true abilities would she truly be convinced.

“We can talk about this next time. I’ve just learned some important news today,” Caspian said.

“What is it?” Willow asked.

Caspian didn’t have many connections. How could he receive any important news?

“There’s a vacant position for the project director at Southlake Corporation. They’re looking for new

recruits.

“The position offers flexible working hours so you don’t need to be in the office every day. I think it’s a suitable job for you. You can give it a try,” Caspian suggested.

“Oh, I’m aware of the news as well. However, a big company like that offering such a high position would have many experts competing for it.

“I can only imagine how difficult the recruitment would be. I have no confidence in my abilities,” Willow replied.

“Have more confidence in yourself. You’re an excellent graduate from a top university with years of management experience. How can you know the outcome when you haven’t even tried?” he encouraged.

“While that may be it, Southlake Corporation would definitely want to hire the best managers. I’m afraid I don’t have the skills for it.” Willow still lacked confidence.

“We have a slight advantage. I know the new CEO of the company. I’ve already given them a heads-up.”

Seeing that Willow was getting discouraged, he thought of a new method to encourage her to apply.

“What? You’re joking again, right? The new CEO is so mysterious. No one in Southlake City knows his true identity. You’re definitely making this up!” she said in astonishment.

“The CEO was my deskmate back in school. We have a good relationship with each other,” Caspian explained.

“If that’s the case, how did he suddenly become so wealthy? Did he buy the entire company?” Willow was shocked beyond belief.

“Well, he had a wealthy father. He inherited a vast fortune right a

graduated. However, he doesn’t like to flaunt his wealth, that’s why he’s been keeping his identity hidden,” Caspian replied.

“Are you really telling the truth?” Willow found it hard to believe that Caspian had such a classmate.

“You’ll know whether it’s true or a lie once you try. It’s not like you’ll lose anything even if you don’t succeed, right?” Caspian said.

“Alright then. I’ll give it a try. But if you were lying, I’ll make sure you won’t hear the end of it when I get back!”

Willow didn’t think there was a need for him to deceive her. After all, such an opportunity was hard to come by.

“The recruitment staff will be off duty soon if you wait for too long. Now’s the perfect time to go,” he suggested.

“Okay. Let me get ready,” she replied.

Meanwhile, everyone was disheartened at the Stewart family’s meeting. They thought things would turn around for the family after signing the contract with Southlake Corporation.

However, the contract had been terminated in just one day.

This sudden change was like a roller coaster ride.

They couldn’t accept it.

“Why did this happen? We just received the project, but it’s already been terminated!”
