Chapter 85

85 85- Smart

When Kate went home, Amir was still there watching TV like a couch potato.

“How was your day, Hun,” he asked her, yawning loudly and didn’t even wait for her answer. He just turned up the volume of the

show, he was watching.

She showered and changed into a comfy cotton shirt and tights. Moving around in her apartment that green–eyed kid remained in

her mind.

John Harris had dropped her off at the MSin building and wanted to invite her on a date though she already told him that she was engaged.

“Like all others, he must be attracted to me,” She thought for a moment and smiled to herself. But then her thoughts were again consumed by Marissa.

For her office colleagues, she was a miss–good–two–shoes. But Kate needed to tell the whole office about the real girl.

So that was the reason that Mr. Sinclair showed partiality to her.

Maybe she was still warming his bed or maybe she was now his ex–mistress and must be blackmailing him.

Kate made two cups of coffee and sat on the couch beside Amir, along with her laptop. She needed to search for Rafael Sinclair.

“Why coffee? Shouldn’t you have dinner right now?” his fiancé asked her without detaching his gaze from the TV screen.

“I need to work on something,” she grumbled along with pressing the laptop keys like a machine. The soft clicking sound grated on Amir’s nerves a little.

“Love. Shut this laptop and eat something. You will lose your health if you keep acting like a workaholic.”

Kate knew this was not out of concern, yet she stayed quiet. She didn’t want to remind him that this place belonged to her.

And if he was expecting her to cook dinner for both then he was mistaken. She glanced at the laptop screen where everything about Rafael was displaced.

Amir moved his eyes from the TV to the laptop and then frowned when found a big picture of Rafael Sinclair covering the whole screen of the laptop.

He was wearing a black suit, and his one hand was inside his pocket. The man didn’t need to pose, and it was a natural act caught by the lens of the camera.

He had a small smile on his face.

Amir felt jealous, “You work in his office and after returning home, you are still eye fuc*king this asshole!”

Kate didn’t respond to the insult. She kept searching for the man.

“No kids,” she muttered, “A wife who likes spending money. He got

married five years ago.”

This time Amir did mute the TV and leaned over to have a better

look.

“What are you looking for?”

Kate turned the laptop screen to him, “We don’t have anything solid on this man. Why?”

“Why do we need it? Are you planning to adopt him, love? Ha–ha…”

Sometimes his bad humor used to play with her mind.

“He can easily adopt us, Amir. Now order something for me because I’m starving,” She retorted and kept visiting different websites for her desired information.

“By the way, the adoption part was supposed to be a joke,” he offered the lamest excuse but then cleared his throat when got that death stare from her.

He sighed and pulled out his phone, “Alright, alright. Pizza and

beer, I think. Will it do?”

“Hmm,” Kate mumbled, not looking up from her laptop.

She heard his faint voice ordering a large pepperoni pizza and a couple of beers.

As he finished, he glanced back at Kate, “The food will arrive in thirty minutes,”

When she didn’t say anything, he again plopped beside her to have a better look at the screen. This time there were several pictures of Rafael.

Amir was getting peeved now, “Seriously though. Suddenly you seem to be a lot interested in the guy.”

She didn’t look up, “There is something about his life that we don’t know of,” this time she did look up for a moment, “There is

something about him that nobody in the world knows about.

Something is missing and I need to find it out.”

Amir rolled his eyes, “Just relax. He is a billionaire. Someone with a loaded background can’t be without any secrets. The pizza is on its way, and you need to take a break.”

But she didn’t take his advice seriously.

When the pizza arrived, Amir was the one who had to fetch the

plates and still, she wasn’t ready to put down her laptop.

Amir had to force shut it and convince her to have food.

“You see suddenly obsessed with the guy,” he offered her the pizza slice on a plate and opened the beer bottle.

Unlike her usual self, she was taking big bites to finish her food quickly. Her focus was solely on Rafael Sinclair which made her choke on her food.

Amir quickly offered her the beer.

“Here. Drink it.”

She took big chugs from it and then continued eating her meal

without a word.

“Share it!” Amir snapped.

“Hmm?”

“I said share it. Tell me… what is it about?” he asked with a shrug.

“I went to Marissa’s place with this police officer,” she didn’t tell

him that the policeman was young.

“OK. Then? Did he arrest her?”

“No. She wasn’t home and didn’t attend office too,”

“Let me guess. If it was that old man Flint, then he must not have allowed you to set your foot,” Kate looked up at her fiancé in

astonishment.

He chuckled and took another slice from the box.

“Amir. Have you met Marissa’s kids?” she asked him, and he thought

for a moment.

“Very rare. But yes. Why?” he took a big bite and then washed it down with the beer.

She tilted back to reach her laptop and ignored it when heard him cursing, “Fuck! Again, this laptop? Finish your food, Kate, your

health…”

Kate just rotated the laptop screen towards him where there was again Rafael’s picture.

“Look at it carefully. Does he remind you of someone?” Amir’s brows wrinkled, and he stared at it with narrowed eyes.

“Who? I mean, who he should remind me of, Kate?”

She rolled her eyes and then pushed back her plate, “Think of Marissa’s kids, Amir. You need to think hard. Because once we

break into it then I think we can easily be millionaires. Just think, honey.”

Amir–made a pout and closed his eyes in frustration. The poor man didn’t know what had gotten into his fiancée tonight.

But then his eyes went wide when he looked at Kate.

“Holy cow!” he muttered and straightened.

Kate was already looking at him when she saw the expression on his face change from confusion to realization.

Marissa’s kid resembled this man.

“We need to get deep and contact his wife, Amir,” She nodded, and

this time took his beer bottle to finish it.

Amir didn’t mind. He just couldn’t believe that his wife-to-be was

so smart.

She was right, indeed.

They could become millionaires.
