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!
Follow current on NovelEnglish.netLate 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
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.
