Chapter 32 The Vice President Will Be My Bridesmaid

“I went back to Dhord City the day before yesterday and received the latest update. Our enemies along

the border have been growing restless,” a grim-faced Sylvia reported.

“I’ handle this once my wedding’s over. I’ll consider returning to the battlefield,” Caspian announced

coolly.

“With you at the helm, Lord Caspian, no one will dare attack us! Their doom will be upon them!” Sylvia

proclaimed with gusto.

“How are the wedding preparations coming along?”

Previously, Caspian left Sylvia in charge of organizing the wedding. Since there were only two days left,

he

wanted to know how things were coming along.

“Don’t worry, Lord Caspian. Everything’s under control. I hired the best experts. You won’t be

disappointed

with the wedding,” Sylvia promised.

“Were you the one who chose the Jade Dragon Grand Hotel?” Caspian asked.

“That’s right.” Sylvia nodded.

“The wedding doesn’t need to be too lavish. It was a little unwise of me to instruct you to make it as

grand as possible. Now that our enemies are invading our borders, the wedding is no longer my top

priority.

“Our nation’s in trouble. As the lord of Diadem Hall, I will be heading straight to the border to protect my

country,” Caspian declared.

He had a feeling Sylvia was going to organize a wedding that would shock the entire country. He did

not

think it was necessary.

“The lord of Diadem Hall has to have a grand wedding. It’ll be a good chance to show Willow your

might, Lord Caspian.

“As for the invitations, I’ve given them out already. All of the most important people in Diatoran will be

attending. They won’t be an embarrassment at all,” Sylvia said.

“In that case, I’ll let you handle everything else. I won’t get involved. Oh, and one more thing. I’ve

decided that Willow’s bridesmaids will be Miranda and Zoey,” Caspian informed.

“It would’ve been fine if you hadn’t said anything,” Sylvia blurted out after a brief pause.

“What’s the matter? Are you upset that you’re not one of the bridesmaids? Caspian asked

“Nope. I don’t have any opinion on the matter,” Sylvia replied.

The two of them left Southlake Corporation.

Meanwhile, Miranda came to Willow’s office.

“Ms. Stewart, your wedding ceremony is happening the day after tomorrow, right?” Miranda asked on

purpose.

“You heard about that too, Ms. Barton?” Willow said.

“Of course. Everyone in Southlake City knows about it. They’re all looking forward to the wedding of

Southlake City’s most beautiful woman!” Miranda replied.

“You’re too kind, Ms. Barton. There’s no telling what will happen during the wedding” Willow said.

Alicia and Richard had to be the reason why everyone in Southlake City knew about her wedding. It

was

part of their devious plan to humiliate her on her wedding day.

“I’m sure your husband will organize a magnificent wedding ceremony for you. With how gorgeous you

are, I’m sure your husband is extremely accomplished as well,” Miranda enthused.

“Well, he’s not that accomplished. I’d be satisfied as long as he prepared a proper wedding ceremony.”

Willow continued to doubt Caspian.

Even though Caspian kept promising he would give her a grand and lavish wedding, so much time had

passed, and she did not see him preparing anything for the wedding.

“Have you chosen all your bridesmaids yet?” Miranda asked.

“Only one-Zoey, my best friend,” Willow said.

“As the famed beauty of Southlake City, how could only have one bridesmaid? Why don’t you count me

in?

“Miranda suggested.

“What? Do you want to be my bridesmaid, Ms. Barton?” Willow was taken aback.

“That’s right. Would you give me the honor of allowing me to be your bridesmaid?” Miranda asked.

“What are you saying, Ms. Barton? You’re the vice president of Southlake Corporation. I’m sure you

have a

lot on your plate, Would you have the time to be my bridesmaid?” Willow said.

“Why not? It’s on Sunday. If I attend as your bridesmaid, I’m sure I’ll get some of your good luck, too.

Maybe someone will take a liking to me,” Miranda replied.

“I’d never have thought you’d want to be my bridesmaid, Ms. Barton,” Willow said.

“Well, that’s settled, then. Why don’t you ask your friend to come over? We can go and check out

wedding

dresses today,” Miranda suggested.

“It’s still working hours right now,” Willow said.

“I’ll give you the day off. Your wedding is more important. You should take the time to prepare for it. You

don’t have to come to work tomorrow. Also, the company will pay for your wedding gown. Consider it a

wedding gift from the company,” Miranda said.

“That’s too kind of you, Ms. Barton.” Willow was startled.

“Well, you’re the company’s project director now.” Miranda knew that Caspian had been hiding his

identity

to give Willow a surprise, so she did not reveal the truth.

Stunned, Willow did not think it was right for her to decline Miranda’s offer. Thus, she and Miranda went

over to meet up with Zoey before going dress shopping.

Zoey was also shocked to hear that the vice president of Southlake Corporation would not only be

Willow’s bridesmaid but was also paying for her wedding dress.

Miranda brought Willow and Zoey to Southlake City’s most luxurious bridal shop.

They bought the most expensive and extravagant wedding gown as well as two bridesmaid dresses.

When Willow got home that night, she found that Caspian had already made dinner.

“The wedding’s happening the day after tomorrow. I’ve already booked my wedding gown. How are the

preparations coming along?” Willow asked.

“Everything’s going according to plan. In two days, you’ll be the world’s happiest bride,” Caspian firmly

declared.

“Alright. I’ll see just how grand the wedding will be. If you trick me, there’ll be hell to pay!” Willow

warned.

“If I did lie to you, feel free to punish me however you want,” Caspian said with a chuckle.

“I was quite surprised today. The vice president of Southlake Corporation treats me so well. She even

paid for the wedding gown and said she would be my bridesmaid. I just hope nothing goes awry on that

day,” Willow said.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make all the necessary arrangements.” Caspian was also looking forward to the

wedding.

On that day, he was going to see to it that Willow was the world’s luckiest and most blessed bride!

Late at night Caspian was woken up by the sound of his phone ringing

Even though it was late, Sylvia was calling

“What’s going on? Why are you calling at this hour? Caspian asked

Bad news, Lord Caspian. The situation on the battlefield has become unpredictable. Tigra’s army on

the

outhern border has crossed the border to launch a sneak attack on our forces!” Sylvia frantically

reported Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Caspian was taken aback. It was his wedding in two days, but the enemy troops had conducted a

covert

assault at this juncture!

“Send someone over to pick me up. I’ll head back in person to oversee the battle!”

This was no small matter. Caspian did not hesitate at all.

Initially, he wanted to have a peaceful life in Southlake City and deal with everything else after the

wedding. Alas, a wrench had been thrown into his plan.

With his soldiers risking their lives on the front lines of the battlefield, he could not focus on his own

enjoyment.

His country came before his family!

He could not delay dealing with the battle along the border any further!

Thankfully, the southern border was fairly near to Southlake City. He could rush over tonight to

supervise

the battle.

Over the next two days, the battle was going to be extremely challenging. He could not afford to be

careless.

“Yes, Lord Caspian!” Sylvia replied.

After ending the call, Caspian got dressed and knocked on Willow’s door.

Willow had been fast asleep when the sound woke her up.

“It’s so late. What is it?” Willow was afraid that Caspian would try to force her into something so she did

not open the door right away.

“I have something to tell you, Willow. Please open the door,” Caspian requested.

Thinking that Caspian would not attempt anything untoward, Willow opened the door.

“What is it that you had to tell me in the middle of the night?” Willow sounded a little annoyed.

“Something extremely urgent has come up. I need to leave for a couple of days. On the day after

tomorrow, go straight to Stewart Residence and wait for me there. I will definitely hold a lavish wedding

ceremony for you,” Caspian said.
