Then she meets her boss: the infamous Andi Zhang, whos not only an arrogant hater of happily-ever-afters determined to keep Cat from doing her job but also impossibly, annoyingly hot.As Compass Hollows narrative director, Andi couldnt care less about love-in-game or out. After getting doxxed by internet trolls three years ago, Andis been trying to prove to the gaming world that theyre a serious gamedev. Their plan includes writing the best game possible, with zero lovey-dovey stuff. That is, until the man funding the games development insists Andi add romance in order to make the story more appealing to female gamers.Forced to give Cat a chance, Andi begrudgingly realizes theres more to Cat than romantic idealism and, okay, a cute smile.
