The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 8

8 There’s No Need to Rush

Willow stared at Caspian in shock.

She thought that Caspian was bragging in front of her.

Even when she saw the 12 million dollars deposited into the company’s account, she couldn’t believe that it was Caspian’s doing.

Willow opened the details of the transfer in the transaction records. There was no doubt that Caspian transferred the money.

The timestamp of the transfer matched the moment when Caspian fiddled on his phone.

Willow was curious about which bank could transfer such a huge amount to her company’s account in an instant. It was unbelievable.

However, Caspian was acting differently today. He kept making one surprising move after another, leaving Willow astonished.

When he said he wanted to be a shareholder, he acted swiftly.

Without any hesitation, he transferred the money, and it appeared immediately in the company’s account.

Was this decisive man the same Caspian that she had known before?

Willow couldn’t believe what was happening. She felt as if she was in a dream.

It was time to wake up.

Willow placed her hand on her thigh and pinched herself hard. She almost cried out in pain.

The pain was vivid and real.

This wasn’t a dream. Everything happening before her was real.

In a daze, Willow stared at the computer screen.

She turned to face Caspian, who was sitting calmly across from her.

She still couldn’t believe it.

“Caspian, did you really transfer 12 million dollars from your account?”

Caspian smiled when he saw the dumbstruck look on Willow’s beautiful face.

+15 BONUS

He had always thought that Willow was a standoffish female CEO with a stony expression on her face.

This was the first time Caspian saw her adorable side.

He said with a smile, “Do I need to deceive you for such a small amount of money?”

“No, that’s not what I meant …” Flustered, Willow was at a loss for words.

She didn’t know whether she should sit or stand in front of Caspian.

Willow uncrossed her legs and placed her hands neatly on her thighs.

After all, Caspian’s position in the company had changed in an instant.

A moment ago, he was one of the company’s employees and her subordinate.

Right now, he was the largest shareholder of the company.

Willow repositioned her hands on the desk after a minute.

She felt that it was indecent to put her hands on her thighs, especially when she was wearing a skirt.

Her gesture might cause Caspian to misunderstand, thinking she was doing something inappropriate with

her hands under the table.

Willow’s cheeks turned crimson.

She didn’t know what to do or say at this moment.

Looking at Caspian, Willow felt uneasy, as if she was on pins and needles.

Caspian chuckled when he saw how flustered Willow was.

Shaking his head, he coughed and came to Willow’s rescue.

“Willow, don’t be concerned by what happened just now. Anyone sitting in your position would have thought that I was speaking nonsense.

“Let’s consider it a thing of the past. In the future, we will continue working together as we have always been.”

When Willow heard Caspian’s words, she was considerably relieved. She felt so embarrassed by her actions earlier.

Caspian had offered to finance her company and help her through the crisis. On the other hand, she had not shown gratitude and mocked Caspian for boasting instead.

+15 BONUS

Willow was reminded of Alan who had tried to bankrupt her company with his cunning tricks. She even

considered him a close friend and an industry mentor.

Thinking about it, it seemed absurd now.

Willow tried to regain her composure and chuckled awkwardly. “I’m sorry, Caspian. I misunderstood your

just now.”

Caspian waved it away. “Willow, there’s no need to be so polite. Although I hold the majority of the

company’s shares, I will not interfere in the company’s affairs, nor will I bring my own people into the

office. 1

“On the surface, I may be the largest shareholder, but the decision-making of the company is still in your

hands.”

He continued, “I’m only responsible for taking my share when the company profits, or covering my share if

the company loses money.

“So, you should use the 12 million dollars wisely and don’t let it go to waste!”

Caspian’s words put Willow’s mind at ease.

If she had known earlier that Caspian would really invest 12 million dollars into her company, she

wouldn’t have accepted his terms for 51% of the company’s shares.

Owning 51% of the company’s shares meant that he had absolute control over the company.

If Caspian did not know how to manage the company and messed things up, all the hard work Willow had

put into it over the years would go up in smoke.

His words gave reassurance to Willow.

If Caspian did not interfere in the running and management of the company, Willow had the confidence to recoup Caspian’s investment through dividends within 3 to 4 years.

When she thought of how Caspian helped her settle the company’s crisis, Willow felt a heavy burden lifted off her shoulders.

An hour ago, she was crying in her office over the lack of 8 million dollars in funds.

Who could have expected that 12 million dollars would appear out of thin air?

After Willow came to her senses, her energy was renewed.

She scrutinized Caspian’s face, who had become her savior.

15 BONUS

The more she looked at him, the more she liked what she saw.

Willow wished she could pin Caspian to the wall and give him a passionate k*ss.

She felt incredibly lucky to have encountered Caspian, her knight who appeared out of nowhere.

He had worked at her company for nearly a year, but she never realized that Caspian was so wealthy.

Could it be that Caspian was a secret billionaire?

Willow placed two copies of the agreement on her desk and quickly stamped them with her company’s

seal. 1

She handed a copy to Caspian politely.

When Willow went over her copy of the agreement again, her heart raced and her cheeks turned red.

She noticed the supplementary term she had added to the bottom of the agreement.

It read, “Once Caspian Lynch transferred an investment of 12 million dollars to the company’s account, I,

Willow Stewart, am willing to be his woman. I will bear the consequences with no regrets.”

Willow had added this supplementary term earlier when she thought that Caspian was showing off in

front of her.

Out of anger, she wrote it down in the agreement.

But now, 12 million dollars were fully deposited into the company’s account.

Both of them had signed the agreement and it was stamped with the company’s seal.

Theoretically, the agreement was valid and had taken effect.

In that case, was she going to be Caspian’s woman?

Willow blushed at the thought of Caspian using this agreement to coerce her into going to a hotel.

When she imagined him undressing her and engaging in intimate activities, her face turned crimson.

Willow immediately regretted her impulsiveness.

How could she add such an embarrassing clause to the agreement?

Now that it had come to this, she basically shot herself in the foot.

Blushing, Willow read the supplementary term in the agreement and turned to Caspian with an awkward

expression

+15 BONUS

There was a hint of bashfulness in her attractive features.

“Caspian…”

Caspian was fl*pping through the agreement as well.

When he heard Willow’s voice, he looked up. “What’s wrong, Willow?”

Her rosy cheeks grew even redder at his question. 1

She stammered, “Regarding the supplementary term I added to the agreement, can we .

At this point, Willow’s mind was in a jumbled mess.

Stuttering, she tripped over her words in nervousness.

”

Caspian turned to the last page of the agreement and read the supplementary term with a smile. “Willow,

are you talking about the final term in the agreement?”

Willow nodded quickly. “Yes, that’s the one.”

Caspian nodded and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.

He said, “Willow, there’s no need to rush. We have a lot of time. Didn’t the agreement say that you’re my

woman from now on? We don’t have to do it right now. Tonight would be fine.”

Willow’s face turned purple with indignation.

What did he mean by that?

The way he worded it made it seem as if she was the one eager to sleep with him.

“No, you’ve misunderstood. I mean, is it possible if we remove the supplementary term

Before Willow could finish, Caspian stood up and walked over to her.

He sized her up slowly from head to toe.

He scrutinized Willow’s beautiful face and curvaceous figure.

Caspian bent down and whispered in Willow’s ear, “Willow, you’re truly a beauty. Not only do you have soft

skin and an attractive face, your seductive b*dy is captivating.

“Look at your blouse, it’s too small to accommodate your voluptuous curves. In addition, your legs look extremely S**y, especially when clad in silk stockings.”

His warm breath tickled the sensitive skin near her ears.

+15 BONUS

His suggestive words caused Willow to feel very shy, and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment

Inwardly, Willow felt both vexed and humiliated.

She had thought that Caspian was an upright man and would not take advantage of a woman. She didn’t

expect him to be so shameless.

He even dared to whisper such crude and lewd words in her ear to tease her.

Willow found it hard to swallow.

She reached out to push Caspian away from her. “Caspian, you…”

Willow planned to create some distance between them and renegotiate the supplementary term.

Before she could finish her sentence, Caspian k*ssed her soft and cherry-red l*ps.

It was Willow’s first k*ss!
