Chapter 52 – Claiming Losses
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Loretta was so enjoying what was happening that she felt good having a one-on-one argument with Kendrick in the all-important conference room. She didn't cause it though, she was just standing up for herself and also not caring about the consequences.
Kendrick, on the other hand, wondered why she was eating him up like she hadn't had breakfast; literally, she hadn't. He felt he could easily just stand up and have his entourage follow him out. Although they weren't exactly his entourage, he didn't want to think of them that way, especially his trusted friend Santiago.
Walking out would also mean serious business disconnection for the two companies. His company had never experienced any losses, and he couldn't stop feeling that somehow his disconnection with this company, at this point, was going to affect his company negatively. He wasn't c

"Oh, hi Kendrick, you're still here," Loretta says, hating the fact that she was just standing there right now.You just wanted to walk past me, didn't you? "Act like you didn't see me, huh," Kendrick continues."Don't flatter yourself Mr Kendrick, I didn't see you" she lied.She saw the two other men standing with Kendrick were now looking at her. She wondered what it was with this company and staring at people. They should name it Staring Enterprise, and not KR Enterprise.The next person her eyes went to was Cedric. She didn't really know why her eyes went to him, but she did know she wanted to know if she was taller than him as she suspected.She was right. He was like a cute little av

The struggle kept going for a while, with Loretta trying so hard not to laugh. She didn't want to enjoy this. Trying to retrieve this one honey bottle was a lot more difficult than she thought.Kendrick, on the other hand, was enjoying stressing Loretta out. He was laughing all the time. It was fun for him, having Loretta play with him like that. He thought she looked pretty.It was also a bit weird and freaky that he, the CEO of a very large company, was doing this with a Human Resource Assistant Executive. Now that was something.All of a sudden, he moves his leg, and Loretta trips on it. Luckily, Kendrick catches her and stops her from falling the wrong way, and she ends up on his body, with her face directly on his face.
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 55 - "I'll Cook"
Loretta couldn't believe Kendrick had just said what he said. She wondered what his problem was. How could he be so mean to her at the office, treat her like trash, even refuse her to give Cedric a handshake, and then come out here acting all sweet and giving the impression that he can't live without her? That was just sickening.Kendrick noticed the look on Loretta's face and became worried that what he said last might have caused it."Loretta, are you OK? You don't have a good look on your face. Was it something I said? " He tries touching her hand across the table, but she pulls it back."I'm fine," she said indifferently."You're not Loretta, because you just said that with an in
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 56 – Dinner At The CEO's
Loretta really liked where all of this was going. She had been looking forward to seeing where the serious Kendrick lived since she first knew who he was. Although she never made it known, not even to her best friend Lauren, she felt people might think she was excessively insane.But when you really think of it, wanting to see where Kendrick took long showers, if he took long showers like her, but wanting to see where he took whatever kind of showers he took, and where he rested after a long day’s work was seriously mental."One problem, though," she said, "What are we going to do about the address stuff?""So you're serious about not knowing where I live?"
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 57 – The Glass House
Loretta just stood there watching him on the sofa. She felt really bad. She didn't want this night to just end with him going home devastated. He was thinking about what she was thinking about fussing over the dinner. But honestly, she didn't exactly think it was silly that he wanted to cook for her, plus it seemed there was something else to it.Don't just stand there staring at me like I've lost someone dear to me. Kendrick says, with a sad tone that only makes Loretta feel more guilty."Kendrick.""Don't worry Loretta, it's fine. Before we finish, it'll be late and we can't eat late."But isn't it better to eat late than not at all?"I don't know."

"Kendrick, it's a glasshouse," Loretta repeats, as Kendrick runs up to her."Yeah, it's a glass house, my glass house.""This is your house?"Yeah, it's my house. I just said it. Is there a problem? I thought you'd like it. "Kendrick: I love it. It's beautiful. I never expected it. When were you planning on telling me you lived in a glass house all by yourself? "Well, I did tell you I didn't live in a manor. I wanted you to see for yourself. ""Wow, Kendrick! This is amazing. It's a dream house, like some fairytale house. It's so beautiful. I would do anything to live here. " She sighs."You cou

The bath was going pretty well for Loretta. She was in the tub and had the shower head over her. These were some of the showers she never wanted to end. She could just stay in there for hours, but the hunger in her system wouldn't let her.She was already feeling her worms again. She was a bit annoyed that she felt the sting because she thought she'd starved them to death. Guess not.On the other hand, Kendrick was trying his best in the kitchen to make Loretta's turkey lasagna turn out OK. Truth be told, he didn't exactly know how to make any kind of lasagna. Even after making sure he had all the ingredients ready in the kitchen, he still had one ingredient missing.He didn't know if he would call it fate, coincidence, or something

"Sia? Who's that? " Kendrick asks."You don't know who Sia is?" Loretta asks, moving back in her seat, trying not to believe what Kendrick just said. She felt it was impossible for Kendrick to not know who she was talking about.I'm sorry, I don't know who she is. Who is she? ""A musician, obv

I'm going to take Loretta into the gaming room right now. Are you planning to attend? Alex inquires."Yeah, I'll be there in a sec. Allow me to finish emailing this to my employer, Diego,""All OK, see you then."Loretta's favorite room in Alex's huge mansion was undoubtedly the gaming room, which she had discovered recently. They used it to play a variety of entertaining games. They most likely did it on a regular basis. Loretta had no idea, but they had been going in there every Friday night since she had started working there and having Olivia spin and fall on whatever game was on the game board to select what they were playing to determine what they were playing. They were now playing checkers, and Olivia had a good chance of winning. She appeared to be an adult trapped in the body of a four-year-old.Loretta wasn't actually on the winning side, and this was most likely due to the fact that she was preoccupied. She was glancing across the room a
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 119 – Some Kind of Reunion
"Loretta! Loretta!" yells the crowd. Lauren's voice may be heard in her dreams or her mind's ears. Was she in a coma once more? Was this something that was going to happen again? Lauren's speech was becoming clearer, so it didn't appear like she was in a coma; rather, it appeared that she was in a dream that she was now waking up from. "Loretta, get the heck out of bed."Her eyes pop up, and the first thing she notices is Lauren's face, which is near to her. Lauren doesn't hear her murmur a few words that she says."Can you tell me what that was? "Sorry, I didn't hear you.She expresses herself more firmly today."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." She gets to her feet and assists Loretta in getting to her feet."Can you tell me what happened?" Loretta inquires."You had a fainting spell, which was strange. Since then, I've been attempting to jolt you awake.We encountered Stenz in a dream, and I'm not sure what occurred, but I'm sorry I'm
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 118 – UNEXPECTED VISIT
"Who the heck is that?" "If you don't mind, I'd be happy to do it once again." When she answers the door, she is greeted by the one person she did not expect; Lauren."Lauren? What... and why? "What the heck is going on?!"Lauren hugged her tightly, and you could tell it was particularly tight due to her pregnant belly.Laura, don't squeeze yourself so tightly, you're going to burst.""Come on, Loretta. You can do it." "I'm very sure that's not how it works; everything is working wonderfully.""What are you doing here, Lauren? What are you doing?" You've arrived at my friggin front door. I feel like I've been paid a surprise visit."I'm aware that I'm at your door, Loretta, and I was wondering if you would mind letting me in? The travel was lengthy, and I know you're aware that I'm expecting a child."Why didn't you simply take a plane or something?" says the other."Pregnant.""Who says pregnant ladies can't fly by plan
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 117 – "MATT?"
Lauren was dealing with Matt during the first week of December, but she was also thinking about a lot of other things at the time. It didn't appear to be much of an issue at first, but it turned out to be. When Matt returned, the first week of December had been a complete and utter disaster. She had just completed tidying up her flat in preparation for Lorenzo's arrival for supper at her residence. It had taken her hours, but she had finally completed her task. After then, someone outside pressed the buzzer.Loretta not only had a good doorbell, but she also had a good buzzer to go with it. It represented the word "home" for her. She assumed it was Lorenzo, but he had arrived far too soon for the time they had agreed on. It didn't matter whatever way she opened it; to her dismay, it turned out to be Matt.She closes her eyes, perhaps out of shock, but perhaps not out of shock. "Get out of here.""Lauren, come on, let yourself be seen. "Let's speak about it."
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 116 – KENDALL
The knocks were soft on the door. Loretta thought it couldn't have been one of the nurses coming to check up on her because they'd knock once and come right in. Loretta's first guess was Kendrick, so she tries standing up to go check. She reached out for her crutches next to her when her mother said not to."Don't worry, stay where you are. I'll go see who's at the door.""Mom, it's my hospital room. I can get the door myself.""Yeah, strong head, when you don't have a broken leg, you can get your doors yourself. She walks over to the door, muttering, "I leave you to live on your own, and soon you will have an accident and land yourself in a hospital with a broken bone." This was why Loretta would never mention that she had just woken up from a two-week coma.She opens the door while Loretta tries leaning forward to see who's at the door. "Who is it, Mom?"Oh, it's just a nurse that just told me hi, a really attractive nurse.""Let him in, M
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 115 – CHOCOLATE AND MOM
Sixteen hours had passed, and Kendrick still hadn't shown up. Loretta had to force herself to believe that Kendrick was OK, and he was either still asleep, which was very unusual but also expected since he was a zombie because he wasn't sleeping, or he was probably at home doing whatever. She was sleeping now. She had a big day in the morning. She had told her mother about her accident. She called her on Kendrick's phone, not because she wanted to, but because she had to. Now her mother would be in the hospital with her in the morning. Like every other mother, Loretta, too, didn't like to be late. Okay, not every mother, just a reasonable number of mothers, liked to be punctual. Loretta ate punctuality for breakfast, so she would be there pretty early. Sadly, punctuality eating wasn't passed down to Loretta, and no one else besides her, because she was the only child. Nurse Beatrice was a really good help, but sadly, she was a human being and she took
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 114 – SWEET BEATRICE
True Loretta had just told Kendrick that she was the said universe stopping their relationship, but she left out the most important part, the part where she doubted herself and she wanted not to let go, but as she'd been telling everyone to let go, no one told her to let go.To think of it, there wasn't much to let go of, except the fact that she felt no one could ever love her forever. It was actually in her past when her college boyfriend broke up with her for a really stupid reason. She couldn't believe it. While she was busy loving him, he was busy thinking of ways to leave her.Why would you break up with a reliable human being for some chick that said she would buy him the latest sports car? That was dumb and stupid, and Loretta felt every guy was just the same, dumb and stupid, and the last couple of years she's been asked out by that gender, they prove her right.Except for Kendrick, he somehow succeeded in proving her wrong, and now here she was with hi
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 113 – ANOTHER LIGHT
Loretta was sort of happy that Nadine didn't see her in her terrible state, but also sort of wished she had because she could have told her exactly how she was without withholding. She would want to withhold, but Loretta would tell her not to, and she wouldn't hesitate to not withhold."Doc wouldn't let her, something about may not be able to stand seeing you. I think he needed just positive energy, which I found out she was the one with the most positive energy. For someone her age, she took it pretty well. ""What did she say? Did she say anything? ""She did say something. She said she'd talk to you when you woke up. That was pretty nice to hear, especially since I and Sebastian were freaking out. Mostly me anyway. Sebastian was too busy telling me to get your parents, but I told him I didn't know how to because I hadn't met your parents, and he was sort of disappointed that I didn't. He was pissed."Kendrick, how did you find me?" Loretta asks, and sh
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 112 – She's Real
Kendrick must have thought it was all a dream because it felt like it was, because jumping awake to Loretta saying his name, surprisingly loud, felt like he was dreaming. I mean, what are the odds that he would just close his eyes after his grand speech, and wake up to Loretta staring him in the eye?He reached out and touched her eyelids. She flinches. You can't blame him. He'd hardly slept in more than a week. For all he knew, she wasn't real.She calls his name again, but this time in a slow whisper, like she didn't believe he was there for real. "I remembered your name, Kendrick. I remembered." She reaches out for him and stops.Normally, in situations like this, all you could think of is calling a nurse in, or even calling a doctor directly, but Kendrick was stuck. He was confused and didn't understand what Loretta meant by remembering his name. He was brought out of his current confused state and placed into another. When her HRM started acti
