"I never expected this match to attract so many people!" Discover stories at novelbuddy
Little Theodore Roosevelt’s condition was much like Robert Taft’s, both were pale and staggered in their steps, but at this moment, he was still very curious about the atmosphere of the venue. He was a person who loved excitement and adventure, otherwise he wouldn’t have gone hunting in Africa after failing to be elected as Governor.
Alice boasted, "What’s there to be curious about? Donnie has put a lot into promoting this boxing match. It would have been odd if it hadn’t attracted this many people!"
Little Theodore Roosevelt laughed heartily and said, "I have to admit, in this regard, Donnie is indeed very talented!"
Speaking of which, Little Theodore Roosevelt suddenly had an idea: "Alice, what do you think about inviting Donnie to be my campaign manager?"
A boxing match that Donnie promoted had become known and followed by the entire United States, and moreover, Atlantic City Broadcast was about to move to New York.
Little Theodore Roosevelt suddenly felt that having Donnie as his campaign manager might be a very good idea.
Alice was momentarily unable to keep up with Little Theodore Roosevelt’s train of thought, but it was Walker who spoke up at this moment!
"I think it’s unlikely. After all, Donnie himself has a lot to do. Not to mention anything else, just consider Donnie’s logistics company. Although it now has a simple prototype, in the future it will be a large logistics company spanning the entire United States. I believe that just managing that one company will consume a lot of Donnie’s energy. Additionally, the Surf Hotel is set to open for business in four months. Donnie probably won’t have the time!"
After hearing Walker’s explanation, Little Theodore Roosevelt showed a hint of disappointment on his face.
"Right, I heard that Taft has also come to Boise City. I wonder whether I’ll be able to meet him before I leave!"
The disappointed Little Theodore Roosevelt changed the subject!
Upon hearing this, Walker chuckled dryly and said, "It should be possible. After all, after today’s match is over, Donnie is going to host a celebration dinner. I think Mr. Taft will definitely attend!"

Only then did Little Theodore Roosevelt’s expression brighten as he said, "That’s right, how could I forget about that. Maybe I should have a good chat with him!"
Having decided to run in the next New York State Governor’s election, Little Theodore Roosevelt naturally intended to find more potential allies for his campaign.
Alice looked at Walker with a hint of confusion. She knew that Walker was sent by Donnie to prevent Little Theodore Roosevelt from meeting Robert Taft, but now he was saying this?
Walker caught Alice’s gaze but offered no explanation!

Inside the rest area of Boyle Stadium, Jack Dempsey and George Caponti were resting in different rooms, while at this time Donnie brought Pickford to George Caponti’s room.
Douglas went to mingle with Jack Dempsey!
"Miss Pickford, hello!"
Although George Caponti had become a star boxer followed by the entire United States due to the publicity from the Atlantic City Broadcast, he had been focused more on training recently and had not enjoyed the honor that his fame brought him.
Therefore, he lacked the self-awareness of being a celebrity, and when he met Pickford, the popular Hollywood actress, he was very excited.
"George, Mary came specially to cheer you on today!"
Donnie said with a smile as he introduced her.
Hearing Donnie’s words, George Caponti immediately struck a robust pose and excitedly said, "Miss Pickford, rest assured, I will surely win!"
On the other hand, Pickford, who had been very interested in George Caponti before, upon meeting him in person, didn’t show much excitement, but instead exchanged a few polite words with George Caponti before leaving his room.

"Maybe I shouldn’t have come today!"
```
Pickford said with some regret as she walked out of George Caponti’s resting room.
"Some things, maybe it’s better to just watch from a distance. When you get close, you actually find everything is not what you thought!"
Donnie felt that Pickford must have something on her mind, so he suggested going to the café at the stadium to sit down.
Pickford did not refuse Donnie’s invitation.
"Donnie, have you ever had that feeling, the kind where, from a distance..." Pickford paused to think, then continued, "Just like just now, before meeting George Caponti, I was very excited, especially what the newspapers said about him, which made me curious. But when I actually met him, I suddenly felt that it was just like that. What kind of feeling would you say that is?"
Donnie stirred the coffee in front of him. He probably guessed why Pickford was asking this. It wasn’t because of George Caponti, it should be some issues arising in Pickford’s relationship with Douglas.
Douglas’s father was a lawyer and very strict with Douglas. Even after Douglas’s parents divorced and he followed his mother, she was also a person who was very strict with him and demanded that he participate in various military trainings.
Growing up in such an environment, Douglas became a very old-fashioned and serious man.
And this was completely at odds with the genre of the satirical comedy movies he starred in.
Pickford first fell in love with the character Douglas played in the movies, then fell in love with Douglas himself. Now that they were married and living together, when the details of both were fully exposed to the other, Pickford inevitably felt a sense of recognition gap!
Now, Pickford was just using the George Caponti matter to talk about her own issues.
Donnie said, "It’s quite normal to feel this way, but I think you shouldn’t dwell on it!"
Pickford felt Donnie didn’t understand her, but she politely said, "But if this thing has already entered my heart, what should I do?"
After thinking a moment, Donnie said, "I don’t know what to do, but if this thing happened to me, I do have a way to deal with it!"
Pickford looked curious and asked, "What way?"
Donnie gave his free advice like a chicken soup for the soul, "That is to follow your own heart. To me, nothing is more important than being happy. If something can’t make me happy, no matter how important it is, I would decisively give it up. Being happy is the most important thing in life!"
Pickford looked at Donnie with some envy and said, "If only I could be as free and easy as you, Donnie!"
Donnie laughed and said, "Why not? You are Pickford, one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses, the dream girl of many men, the envy of many women. I really don’t understand what else could make you unhappy!"
Pickford said somewhat self-deprecatingly, "Maybe I’m just being too sentimental!"
Donnie took Pickford’s hand and said, "Don’t talk like that. You just haven’t found the right way to make yourself happy yet!"
Pickford looked at Donnie in surprise. Donnie, with an embarrassed expression, withdrew his hand and apologized, "Sorry, Mary, I got a bit carried away just now!"
Pickford didn’t think too much of it, just tidied up her hair and joked, "You said just now that I’m the dream girl of many men. Does that include you?"
After asking the question, Pickford realized that it was a little ambiguous.
Donnie laughed and said, "Of course. Don’t you know how much I envy Mr. Van Pank?"

ps: I had two author friends visit Tongliao, and as a host, I naturally had to entertain them properly. Last night we drank until the early hours. I don’t even know how many times I threw up. I’m not feeling too good today, so I’ll write this much. Once those two friends leave, I’ll definitely make up for the shortfall in the number of words over these past days~
