The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 5

The woman chiding everyone at the work area was Willow Stewart.

She was only 25 years old.

She was beautiful and had a curvaceous figure.

Even though she was dressed in a plain black suit, she exuded the aura of a professional model.

Many men in the company often talked about her in private.

Everyone hoped to have a girlfriend with such an attractive figure. However, their desires were limited to mere talk.

Not only was Willow beautiful with a S**y b*dy, but she was also the CEO of their company.

When Willow reprimanded them, all the employees in the working area lowered their heads.

They were cursing Caspian inwardly. If he hadn’t returned to the company at this time, they wouldn’t have wasted their entire morning at work.

Willow swept a cold gaze around the office and finally stopped on Caspian, who was still packing up his personal belongings.

“Caspian, come with me to my office,” Willow spoke sternly to Caspian.

Coincidentally, he needed to tender his resignation to her as well.

Caspian put down his belongings and followed Willow into the CEO’s office. Her office was filled with a faint scent of roses.

Willow invited him to take a seat. She started rummaging through her filing cabinet to look for some documents.

Willow opened a drawer under the filing cabinet. She had to bend over to search inside the drawer which was positioned too low.

As Willow was doing so, she didn’t notice that her skirt was riding up from bending over.

Unintentionally, Caspian caught sight of her exposed thighs.

His gaze wandered downward and lingered on Willow’s slender legs that were clad in silk stockings.

For a moment, Caspian’s mouth went dry and he felt a little thirsty.

Just then, Willow stood up and poured a glass of water. She put it in front of Caspian.

“Are you going to resign?” Willow asked, looking at Caspian.

Caspian took a sip of water and nodded.

When Willow entered the room earlier, she noticed Caspian packing up his belongings.

She guessed that he was planning to leave the company.

Caspian put himself in Willow’s shoes.

In her point of view, the reason for his resignation was likely due to the bullying and ridicule from his colleagues for the past year.

“I’m not resigning because of those colleagues …”

Before Caspian could finish, Willow waved her hand and interrupted him. “What they said to you just now was inappropriate. Caspian, I can understand how you feel. However, you also need to know one thing.

“Life is about carving out your own path and letting others say what they want.”

She continued, “You don’t need to care about anyone else’s opinion of you. If you care too much about what others think, you’ll end up living in their shadows. Eventually, you’ll become like them.”

Caspian was taken aback. His CEO was usually aloof and distant. At this moment, she was actually encouraging him in person to strive for a better life.

Of course, Caspian knew what Willow said made sense. Nonetheless, he wasn’t resigning because of the bullying from his colleagues.

He opened his mouth to explain, but Willow continued, “I know that Melanie is your wife. I also know that you’re working very hard to provide for your family.

“Apart from your day job here, you even deliver parcels in this building during lunch break.”

She added, “Even though other colleagues outside don’t understand, I appreciate a passionate young man like yourself.

“As someone just a few years older than you, I value your energy and zeal to work toward a better life.

“I also admire the contributions you’ve made to the company in your position.”

Willow leaned back in her chair. “Before you tender your resignation, I need to let you know that I’ve decided to promote you to the position of project manager of the company.

“Your base monthly salary is eight thousand dollars and a similar rate of commission as other managers.

“This isn’t an easy position. I’ve observed all the employees in the company. I felt that only you can handle this role of project manager.

“I hope that you can stay with this company and achieve greater success in a higher position.”

She continued, “With the increase in salary, your living standards will be greatly improved.
