Page 71 of Her Big Fat Hunky Billionaire Boss

“Hilary and I are going over to the center to open presents with Mom. She gets tired quickly, so it will be short, but the center always does some activities for them, so we’ll stay for the Christmas Bingo. She might not be able to do much more than that.”

“You’re good to her.”

“Thanks.” Kat looked down at the table.

The waitress brought them their meals. Kat was silent as they ate. “What are you thinking?” he finally asked.

She shook her head. “It’s nothing.”

“Seems like something to me.”

She popped a water chestnut in her mouth. “Ignore my weird mood. We’re on a date. Let’s just enjoy it.”

He pointed to the empty spot beside her. “I’d enjoy it more if I were over there.”

She got a sly grin on her face. “What’s stopping you?”

He slid his plate across the table and slipped over to her side of the booth. “Ah, this is better.” He leaned in closer to her. “This side has a better view.”

“Really?” She slipped her arms around his neck.

“Much better.” He kissed the corner of her mouth, then worked his way down her jaw to her ear. His heart hammered in his chest. Her smell was intoxicating.

Kat let out a little moan. “You’re killing me, you know that.”

He smiled and whispered in her ear. “Good.”

“You’d better stop so we can finish eating.”

He kissed her neck. “Who needs food?”

She pushed him away, laughing. “You’re terrible.”

They finished at the restaurant, then went to Kat’s house for another movie. As Kat scrounged around her DVD collection, Damian opened up her laptop. “Have you gotten any good emails lately?”

She shot him a grin. “Yes. Open the one from Dr. Yong.”

He searched her inbox, then clicked to open.

Dear Miss Philipina,

Here is the photograph you have asked for. I understand why you must authenticate my identity. This photograph will prove to you who I am, and that it is me who ordered the box of Ho Ho’s. It was difficult to balance them as you asked me to do, but I succeeded. When you get this email, you will know that I am speaking truth to you. You may now send the thousand dollars so I will be able to process the inheritance money of seven million US dollars.

Doctor Yong

Attached was a photograph of a man with a box of Ho Ho’s on his head.

Damian couldn’t believe it. “You’re kidding me. He actually did it.”

“Yes, he did. Read the next one in line. It’s even funnier.” She turned back to the cabinet full of movies.

He clicked to go back to her inbox. Another email caught his attention, and a sick feeling entered his gut. What was she doing getting an email from Privileged Singles? It was addressed to Amelia. He stared at it, understanding slowly creeping in. Kat was Amelia. The whole thing had been a lie.

He slowly closed her laptop, his hands shaking. She’d set up a fake profile. Why would she have done that? He tried to remember all the interactions he’d had with Amelia. The things he told her. It had all been Kat, and she’d let him think it was another woman.

She didn’t say anything when he told her about Amelia tonight. She was going to keep lying to him.

The thought made him feel like throwing up. Kat pulled a DVD out of the cabinet and turned to him. “I found it. Elf. It’s the perfect…” Her voice trailed off when she looked at his face. “What’s wrong?”
