The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

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.

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.

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.
