The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 9

ising to her feet, Willow straightened her coat and skirt. Then, she handed him a wet tissue.

Caspian couldn’t understand her intention. Why did she abruptly give him a wet tissue?”

She noticed he was feeling curious, and her cheeks burned. “Take a look at yourself in the mirror.

There’s l*pstick on your face. Hurry up and wipe it off. What will the others think if they see that?”

Then, she unlocked the office door and went out.

Caspian’s gaze followed her alluring figure as she left. He couldn’t help but feel joyful.

He had a sudden thought. “This must be a blessing in disguise.”

It was a very lovely blessing, indeed.

In the office, everyone was gossiping in whispers even though they seemed busy.

A heated discussion revolved around the same topic. Everyone was talking about the relationship

between Caspian, Melanie, and Bobby.

“You know what I think? I’m sure Melanie dumped Caspian for Bobby. You guys saw it, too, didn’t you?

Melanie and Bobby came to work arm in arm!”

Another said, “That’s for sure! Listen to me. Did none of you realize? Melanie has been using branded

goods recently. She changed her attire, handbags, and cell phone.

“That loser, Caspian, can’t afford all those. Did you notice? The cell phone she’s using costs 2000

dollars.

Caspian won’t be able to get one even if he starves for three months!”

Someone else said, “He deserves it. He’s so broke. Why would he marry such a gorgeous woman like

Melanie? He sure as hell can’t afford her expenses.

“It’s well known that beautiful women face more temptations in society. He’s too poor for her. She just

has to find herself a loaded man.”

Every word they said expressed how scornful they were of Caspian.

Thomas was standing before a mirror. He hummed a tune as he wiped the blood trickling from his nose.

He had his career all thought out. He had accomplished the task Bobby assigned him.

Bobby had also achieved his objective. He won over the beauty he had eyes for.

After this, Bobby would surely put in a word or two for him before his father, David Mason.

David was a manager. So, Thomas would have a bright future ahead of him in the company.

Then, if he could win Willow’s favor, he might just take over the company!

As for Caspian? Whatever!

He was just a loser.

It served him well to get dumped by his own wife. It was his fault for not being able to pay for Melanie’s

expenses.

He thought he had absolutely nothing to do with their divorce.

After all, there wouldn’t be smoke without a fire. If their relationship was strong, how would Bobby come

in between them?

To him, Caspian deserved this ending.

He deserved to be Thomas’ stepping stone as he climbed the corporate ladder.

Thomas fumed inwardly, “I didn’t expect him to have the guts to hit me, though. Fuck! I won’t let it slide

so

Just then, he heard the sound of a folder slapping against a table.

Willow was the only person who would do that in the entire company.

Every time she did that, everyone would pay attention to her. So, Thomas looked in its direction when he

heard that familiar sound.

To his surprise, Caspian was standing behind Willow. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Why was that loser standing behind their gorgeous CEO?

His wife had just cheated on him, yet he had the balls to be a snitch?

Thomas wasn’t the only one in the office with that thought.

Everyone else, including Melanie and Bobby, thought the same thing.

However, things took an unexpected turn.

Willow swept her gaze across the room and stopped when her gaze fell on Caspian. “I have an important

announcement to make.

“From now onward, Caspian, or Mr. Lynch, will be the chairman of our company’s board. Please give him

a round of applause!”

When her speech ended, a deafening silence followed.

It was so quiet that Willow could hear her own breathing.

Everyone was in a trance. They gaped at Caspian, feeling like they were in a dream.

She furrowed her dainty brows. No one clapped even though she prompted them to.

That left her feeling awkward.

Melanie was the most surprised of all.

That was the loser she had just mercilessly dumped that morning. She needed to know how he became

the company’s board chairman after several hours!

She wasn’t the only one dumbstruck. Bobby, Thomas, and the rest of their colleagues were the same.

Eventually, although everyone was still dumbfounded, scattered claps followed after Willow started to

clap.

Soon, someone stood and clapped his heart away while smiling. He looked like he wouldn’t stop until his

hands were red and swollen.

He said, “Welcome, chairman! It’s a pleasure for us to have you monitor our work. I’ve known from the

start that Mr. Lynch is capable. 1

“He has been working with us to understand our work attitude. I can’t believe I’ve guessed correctly. I

wish you good fortune and success!”

Caspian still remembered this sweet talker. He demanded Caspian to pay him his docked pay not long

ago.

He even publicly threatened to take revenge if Caspian refused to compensate his full pay.

Now, he initiated a thundering ovation from the others.

Everyone beamed kindly at Caspian.

Caspian was unfazed by the scene before him.

He pointed at Thomas coldly. “Thomas Miller, come with me to my office! I’d like to know the progress of

your report.”

Thomas shuddered. He looked like he just took a punch to his stomach.

He had everything thought out. To him, Caspian was a loser. He had him wrapped around his finger. It

never occurred to him he would become the chairman of the board.

Then, Caspian announced, “Don’t worry. I’ll find time to listen to your reports one by one. Now, go get

ready. You guys enjoy talking through your hats, huh? You’ll get the chance to do so before me!”
