The Billionaire's Heartbeat のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

I just remembered July 4th, how I and my buddy Santiago almost blew my fingers off. So I asked what you did on the 4th of July. "Deciding to just go on with the conversation, she says, "I just did the usual fireworks, I guess. That's the only loud stuff I can enjoy for a bit.""Ladies don't do fireworks, Loretta, you leave that to us men."

So much for a juicy grace, so much for a turkey lasagna, so much for actually being in Kendrick's house in the first place. These were the thoughts going through Loretta's mind as she stared straight at Kendrick, waiting for him to say something. She had already lost her appetite, and she could feel the rage burning in her. She hated people with the attitude of easily flaring anger without actually approaching the situation like a normal human being. It pissed the hell out of her. And now she's starting to feel something for Kendrick, and he does this. Hopefully, whatever he was going to say wouldn't make her say anything hurtful, because he was good at that. And her favorite jammies were lasagna stained, which made her want to cry; the thought of getting home, taking it off to wear another one, and then adding it to her laundry was exhausting. She felt the imaginary glue on her seat loosening up. She was just a snap away from getting up and asking to go home

Sunday was going by pretty fast for Loretta, with her just watching thrillers and horror films all day. She also finally did her laundry; the stain on her fleece PJs wasn't that difficult to wash off. Not knowing what else to do, she just stood and watched the clothes spin in the washing machine.   Now holding a huge bowl of popcorn, she sits upside down on her sofa, watching one of the thrillers. Then she heard her phone ring, and the sound was combined with someone screaming. She sat up straight and saw that it was Roy calling.   "Hey Loretta, how you doing?" "I'm OK." She says, while stuffing popcorn in her mouth, the crun

Of course, Loretta had to explain exactly who the flowers were for to Roy on their way to his house because he wouldn't stop pestering her to tell him. It was getting pretty annoying, but she couldn't tell him that. It would sound too rude. And if telling him would make it stop, then why not?   The drive to Roy's house was longer compared to Kendrick's. Maybe it was because he took a shortcut, or maybe it had something to do with his cranking the accelerator. They didn't talk much during the drive, which made Loretta think of Kendrick and why he hadn't called her all this time. Maybe not to apologize again, but at least act as she exists. She felt if she called him, it would make her desperate. But it was totally fine if he called her. She wanted to know what happened to Kendrick's family.   "Hey, Roy," she breaks the silence. Sorry, I know I said the flower shop was closed. I sort of lied. You don't have to call me o

"Who is it, Octavious? You better not be fooling around with me." For some reason, Loretta was terrified. It wasn't like anyone was after her life, but the whole story about Kendrick looking like shit, and how everyone was acting all strange, didn't go well. She heard slow footsteps coming, but they weren't from Octavious. At that moment, she hated how, from where she sat, she couldn't directly see anyone that came into her office. She'd have to wait for them to come in properly, which she was doing now.   Kendrick! She gasps. Luckily it was Kendrick, and he wasn't carrying any knives. "Shit! Kendrick, you look like shit. What happened to you? What are you doing here? " "I thought
