In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 12 The Mystery Man’s Charms
I grabbed Arthur’s arm. I had to wait a moment until some of the catering staff went back to the kitchen. My palm tingled with how good it felt, resting on top of the soft material of Arthur’s expensive suit jacket.When there was no staff close by, I said. “I don’t get it. How did you manage that so smoothly?”“I’m great with people. I have amazing acting skills,” Arthur said.“Oh?”Arthur continued solemnly. “You know what Shakespeare said, ‘All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players’.”I looked at him quizzically.“Life is like a play,” Arthur continued. “It all depends on acting skills.”“So you’re just pretending?” I was stunned. There had to be more to it than that. There just had to be.“Of course.” Arthur said and nodded, “I am just a stripper after all.”“...!”“Oh my God, your acting skills are un
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 13 Fear, Chemistry, And Bravery

It looked like there were four hundred guests there!For a moment, Doris was paralyzed with stage fright.Then the band started playing “Every Breath You Take”, and Doris started to sing.From the very first note, Doris had the crowd in the palm of her hand. All that singing she did in college paid off. Doris forgot about everything but singing as well as she could.Everyone was conquered by Doris’s beauty and heavenly singing voice.

In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 14 Courage, Confessions, & Conferences
DORISThe words to confess my love were on the tip of my tongue. I had finally summoned the courage to express my feelings to Arthur, but as fate would have it, the universe had different plans.“Arthur… Arthur, I want to tell you—”Arthur’s cell beeped with a message and then his phone rang. Arthur ignored it.Just as the interruption settled, Arthur’s watch alarm chimed. He glanced at his very expensive-looking Patek Philippe watch.“What is it, Arthur? Is this about the tech conference?” I asked.Arthur nodded. He pulled out his phone and looked at it.I couldn't see the whole text from where I was standing, but I caught the words 'get here now' and 'deal worth a hundred million dollars', 'thought you'd be here…' and 'confidential'.I watched as Arthur's eyes darted between his phone, his watch, and me, his expression filled with regret.
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 15 Return To The Strip
I couldn’t wait to rush to "The Strip," where I met Arthur for the first time. I needed an answer.I started toward the club, walking fast. I was going by myself, but after walking a few blocks, I texted Nina and asked her to meet me there.It was still early as far as New York City nightlife went. I asked one cocktail waitress and all the bartenders if they had seen Arthur. I gave a detailed description.The waitress said she might have seen him once with a bunch of other men in suits, but she couldn’t be sure.All the bartenders said they didn’t know Arthur. They definitely didn’t know of anyone working at “The Strip” that fit his description.I looked around in frustration. I saw Nina walk in the door. She was wearing dark jeans, a sparkly tank top, and a cool leather jacket.She looked good.I looked down at what I was wearing. I wasn't exactly dressed for a trend
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 16 In Sickness And Health
ARTHURI got home late Thursday night and peeked in Mia’s room.Even in the dim light, I could see she had a bluish tint to her skin and lips.I ran into the room and to her bedside.Her rapid and labored breathing hurt my heart."Mia? Sweetheart?"She feebly opened her eyes. “Daddy?” She sounded scared.“How are you feeling, pumpkin?”“I don’t feel too good.”I put my hand on her forehead. She was running a slight fever.Mia was sick, no doubt about it. I called my chauffeur and told him to get here right away.“We’re going to take you to the hospital, sweetie. Just to be on the safe side.”“Okay,” my daughter said weekly.It was easy not to think about Mia’s congenital heart disease because she’s been okay for so long. Maybe this was just a cold or the flu, but I had a feeling she was seriously ill,
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 17 Sabotage and Recovery
DORISI went to the HR woman at Cushman & Wakefield and asked her straight out what the turn around was about. She hemmed and hawed and tried to get out of telling me.But I pushed, and she finally told me the truth.Andrea made her do it.Andrea had contacted everyone she could in the industry and told them not to hire me.“That’s…that’s…”"I know it's not fair," the lady said to me, holding her hands out. "But there's nothing I can do. I'm just an HR person."“Arrgh.”This was really bad news. As soon as my temp job was over, I was in serious trouble.I couldn't believe how low Andrea stooped. Sabotage and revenge. She was the one who blew up my life. She ruined my relationship.It wasn’t enough she stole my boyfriend and made it so I had to leave my job? She had to sabotage my job search too?What a bitch.I trie
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 18 Taking Control
ARTHURThe first rays of dawn filtered in through the slatted blinds.I sat in the private luxury ward on the top floor of the hospital, staring at Mia’s finally calm, little body.Her breathing had improved and her color looked better.“How’s she doing?” The private night nurse whispered, coming in quietly. This nurse was the best money could buy, as evidenced that she was stopping by again at the end of her shift.“Mia’s sound asleep, finally,” I said, whispering back. “This is the first really peaceful sleep since she got here.”The nurse checked Mia’s charts at the end of her bed and left.I knew I should try and take a quick catnap. I’d barely slept in days.Focusing on Mia was paramount.Still, I had a batch of documents that needed to be signed. I would do it quickly and then just close my eyes for a minute.I was engrossed in the d
In Love with the Boss' Son #Chapter 19 Fear & Romance
DORISI shook with stage fright. It was more anxiety than I should have. My mouth felt as dry as the desert.Being socially awkward by nature, the idea of singing in front of such a crowded club seemed unthinkable.I forced myself to sing as the band started playing, but the sound that came out made me grimace with self-awareness. Even though I was anxious, I was aware that I was off-key.The audience's response was immediate and ruthless.“Boo! Boo!” A chorus of disapproving jeers and boos pierced through the air like sharpened arrows.“Get off the stage, lady! You can’t sing!” It was a dagger to my already fragile confidence, threatening to shatter the little resolve I had left.No, Doris, I told myself. You can do it.My heartbeat pounded loud in my ears. Doubt flooded me.“Don’t doubt your abilities,” I told myself firmly. “Try ag
