It was only then that Milly noticed the two men lounging on the sofa.

The guy on the left sported frameless gold wire glasses, a long chain trailing behind his ears, accentuating his sharp jawline. His eyes, which had been smiling, turned calm as soon as they locked with hers.

If the guy on the left could be called exquisite, then the man on the right was nothing short of extraordinary.

With eyes curving upwards, amber irises, and lips the color of roses, his body proportions were impeccably balanced, resembling a meticulously crafted doll in a posh boutique display.

Milly recognized him immediately; he was a frequent sight on billboards, the popular young actor, Jonathan.

As for the man with glasses, he was none other than Xavier, the fourth brother, currently a nationally renowned scientist at the research institute.
