"What?" Mia raised her head and looked at the man; at first, she thought that she had misheard him. After all, with their identities, Lucas should be avoiding her at all costs.
But apparently, that meant nothing to Lucas. Not only did he not avoid her or pretend to not know her, he also leaned towards her and wiped the sauce that was sticking at the corner of her mouth.
If that was all he did, Mia wouldn't have been bothered, but the man did more than that. He brought his thumb, which he had used to wipe the sauce off, to his lips and, as if there was no one around them, licked that sauce off his thumb.
He then said to her, "You eat like a child; do you know that?"
There was a hint of tenderness in his voice, which didn't sit well with the situation.
