บททั้งหมดของ In Love with the Boss' Son: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

 DORIS We went to Central Park in the day time but didn’t find any clues. We had to put the Wayne and the strange note on hold because tonight Arthur was throwing a huge gala to celebrate Nathan's big promotion. Everyone who was anyone in business was invited. It was a smart move because it gave Nathan clout. Arthur had gone all out planning the event. It was a glamorous evening. It got lots of press. It was touted as the spectacular event commemorating Nathan's rise to CEO of AmeriCapital. When Arthur, Nina, and I arrived at the ceremony, we were joyful about our friend's outstanding accomplishment. "Look at him, Doris," Nina whispered, her voice filled with admiration.  "Yeah," Arthur said. "Nathan's come a long way. He deserves this." I nodded, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "He truly does. I couldn't be happier for him." The air was fille

DORIS"Is that France?" Mia asked, leaning over her father and pointing out the plane's small round window."That’s Paris, yes," Arthur said."Can we sing French songs and eat French fries?"Arthur and I laughed."Of course, pumpkin."We went to the central park right away, and Arthur asked someone for directions to the carousel in what sounded to me like perfect French."I’m impressed," I said."Don’t be," he responded. “I speak French, Spanish, Hindi, and Mandarin, and I butcher them all.""It sounded pretty good to me," I said."It sounded like blah blah blah blah blah blah to me," Mia said.We found the carousel. It didn’t look exactly like an American one. The animals were more fantastical, like something out of an old-fashioned children’s book.The carousel was also larger than I had expected, much larger.It wasn’t moving, so it was easy to walk past pink lions and purple and blue striped zebras to the octagon-shaped center column.We had to walk around three sides before we fo

DORIS We were standing outside the hockey arena, but we didn’t go in. "What are we waiting for?" I asked. "Nathan’s cousin, Jin-hoon, and his family," Arthur said. No sooner had Arthur finished saying that, and we looked up, and there was a man who looked a lot like Nathan. He had the same handsome Korean and French features. When he got closer to us, I could see that his eyes were blue. Whereas Nathan’s eyes were brown. "You must be Jin-hoon," Arthur said, extending his hand for a handshake. "I am," Jin-hoon replied. They shook hands and then Arthur introduced us, and Jin-hoon introduced his wife, Nancy, and their eight-year-old daughter, Brittney, who was wearing six pink and purple bows in her hair. "I’ve never been to a hockey game before," Brittney said in perfect English. "You’ll lo

DORISWe were at the Cheesecake Factory having dessert when Mia put her hand on her chest and seemed to have trouble breathing."What’s wrong?" I asked her. Mia's eyelids drooped a little, and she looked woozy."I don’t know, Mommy."Arthur didn’t take any chances. We rushed her to the hospital.Sitting in the waiting room was agony. Arthur’s face was tortured. I held his hand and grabbed it tightly while we waited for news. When they rushed Mia to the emergency room, they told us she was having an irregular heartbeat. That had been an hour and a half ago, and we still hadn’t heard anything new.Finally, an older doctor, a white man with thinning gray hair and large glasses, came up to us."You’re Mia’s parents?""We are," said Arthur."We’ve had to put in a pacemaker to regulate her heartbeat. The surgery went fine, and she’s completely stable. You can see her now. She’s under heavy sedation, and she needs her sleep, but you can go in and sit with her."The doctor took off his gl

DORISWhen I got home from eating lunch with Nina, I had that post-afternoon slump that came from too many french fries and not enough coffee. I couldn’t stop thinking about what Nina had said. If Cathy was desperate, she would do anything.But why would Cathy be desperate? I thought she had a great singing career, lots of friends, lots of fans, and lots of money.I remembered what Nina said about Google-able, so I googled Cathy. What I found surprised me. First was the information about her band. She hadn’t exaggerated. They were famous within the alternate rock niche. There were plenty of pictures of Cathy performing.But when I looked carefully at the more recent articles, I found out that her drummer had stolen all of the band's money. The drummer, who was also her ex-boyfriend was a scum-ball of the highest order.The drummer had not only stolen the band’s money, and Cathy’s money, but also hacked into all of the other supporting team's bank accounts and stolen their money from
