Love Unwritten (Lakefront Billionaires, #2)

“Because it was brilliant.” My brows jump. “Really?” “Yeah. Honestly, I prefer it over the original.” “I agree,” Rafael says, making my chest constrict. Unlike Cole’s, my ex-boss’s compliment worms its way through my heart and remains there. You’re supposed to be mad at him. Not swooning over him acting remotely nice after being borderline unlikable for eight months. Maybe that’s why I’m having these kinds of reactions. I was so starved for attention from Rafael that I’m now moved by him doing the absolute bare minimum. Right. You keep telling yourself that. Cole continues, “I loved the rawness of the lyrics. They gave me chills.” I blink twice. “Oh wow. Thank you. That means a lot coming from someone like you.” “Do you have an agent?” “No.” The word carries a bitterness to it that makes me cringe. “Have you ever considered finding one? You could make a lot of money if you created another song like that with the right person.” I bristle. “I’m not interested.” “Why?” “I’m just not.”
