The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 10 Swear on Your Life

Although Caspian was now the chairman, he didn’t have an office.

He turned to leave. As he brushed past Willow, he lowered his voice. “Honey, I need some help here. I don’t have an office yet. What should I do?”

He kept his voice low. Only the two of them knew what he said.

However, he called her “honey” in public. So, her cheeks burned with embarrassment.

Willow got wind of how Caspian had been verbally abused by his colleagues.

They had not received their marriage certificates, but he was already her husband to her.

It was natural to avenge her husband.

Without hesitating, she pointed at her office. “Use mine for now. I’ll make some space for you.”

He immediately declined. “No, that won’t do. We have a deal. You’re still the company’s sole decision- maker. How can I occupy your office? I think Mr. Mason’s office will do just fine.”

Willow noticed something earlier. Melanie exchanged a surprised glance with Bobby when she heard

Caspian had become the chairman.

She could somehow guess why they divorced.

Then, Caspian mentioned he would like to occupy David’s office. That confirmed her assumptions.

“Sure!” she said. “I’ll come with you.”

Caspian smiled. He said in a honeyed tone, “Honey, they say there’s a kind of woman who’s one in a million. She’s beautiful, has a good figure, and is wise beyond her age. And that’s you, isn’t it?

“You’re the most brilliant woman I’ve ever met.”

Willow almost drowned in his flattery. She had many admirers. They would always praise her looks and

ambitions.

But he was straight out buttering her up. That was a first for her.

Caspian had made up his mind. He wasn’t in a rush to pick a fight with Bobby.

It was a father’s responsibility to teach his son.

He wanted to confront David and ask him how he raised a homewrecker.
