The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

The reporter droned on, but Thalassa was miles away, her focus entirely on the figure behind the journalist - Lysander. She observed his expressions, his gestures, catching his lips moving, forming words. Though the broadcast only carried the reporter's voice, leaving Lysander's words swallowed by silence, Thalassa's heart raced as she tried to catch what he was saying, desperately attempting to read his lips despite her lack of skill in lip-reading.

She missed most of what was said, but the last few words were crystal clear.
