Page 65 of Her Big Fat Hunky Billionaire Boss

Damian smiled at her from across the table. “I’m glad you decided to let me take you out tonight.”

She wanted to ask him why he was even bothering, but clamped her lips together and just smiled. It would be rude to bring up the fact that they wouldn’t ever work as a couple. She should just enjoy the date and take it for what it was. Just a date. That’s all.

Kat forced a smile. “Have you been to meet your brother yet?”

Damian’s smile faded. “Not yet. I told Lydia I was going to spend tomorrow with him.”

“How did she take that?”

“She hates it. But I don’t care. I grew up thinking I was an only child. And here I find out I’ve had a brother living in another state that I had no idea about.”

Kat’s heart swelled. She would feel the same way if she were in his shoes. “I think it’s good of you to do that.”

The hostess brought them their drinks. Damian nodded at her. “Thank you.”

When she was gone, Kat turned back to him. “I don’t know how to ask this, but I’m curious, I’m just going to say it.”

He looked intrigued. “Go ahead.”

“Are you afraid of Lydia going after your money?”

“No.” He picked up his drink. “If she had wanted money she would have gone after my father years ago.”

That was probably true. Lydia didn’t come across as a gold digger to her. She was too proud for that. “Are you going to keep her running the newspaper?”

“Yes.” He looked like he wanted to say more, but took a drink instead.

“Did things go well with your business deal?”

He squinted at her. “How did you know about that?”

Oh, no. Had he only told Amelia about that? Her mouth grew dry and she covered by shrugging and sucking down her water.

“Everything went smoothly. We’ll be announcing the buyout next week.”

Kat set her water glass down with a clunk. “Good.”

The waitress came by and they ordered their food. They fell into an easy conversation about surface things. Damian was easy to talk to. Too soon they were done eating and Kat found herself not willing to say goodnight just yet.

After they got in his car, she turned to him. “Do you want to come over for a while? We could rent a movie.”

“I’d like that.”

When they got to Kat’s house, she noticed Hilary’s car was gone. Her sister must have gone back to her apartment. She unlocked the door and tossed her keys into the bowl. “What do you want to watch?”

“What’s your favorite movie?”

“That’s such a hard question to answer. I love so many of them.”

He shot her a look. “You’re a movie buff?”

“I just have lots of favorites. For instance, my favorite comedy is probably Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. My favorite action film is the original Indiana Jones movie. My favorite musical is…” Kat stopped herself before she said Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. That would have given her away for sure. Instead, she said her next favorite, “My Fair Lady.”

“I haven’t seen that in ages.”

Kat smiled, relieved she’d gotten away with that one. “Great. My Fair Lady it is. I have the DVD of that one.”

Damian sat on the couch while Kat got the movie started. When she sat beside him, she became hyper-aware of his body next to her. She clasped her hands in her lap.
