Rui would unconsciously touch his lips with his thumb every now and then. Jean noticed this act of his whenever she would enter his office for any work.
She shook her head and could no longer help but comment, "What's wrong with your lips, son?" She walked on his table to pass some checks for his signatures.
Rui met her gaze and gave her an awkward smile. "Nothing Jean, just that my lips are a little dry…" he replied.
Jean's eyebrows arched, not convinced with his answer when Rui's lips did not look dry to her. Besides, she knew his body language pretty well and knew that whenever Rui told lies his ears would always turn red, so she shook her head and muttered, "I thought you've been kissed by a bug and they got swollen…"
Rui's brows knitted because of the teasing voice and smirking of Jean. He twitched his mouth and mumbled, "Yeah, that ladybug… is really bothersome…"
