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.

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