Gasping, Evangeline stumbled backwards, only to find herself caught by a pair of strong arms around her waist. Looking up, she found herself locked in Lucien's gaze and his arms.
"I apologize... I was going somewhere."
Lucien chuckled, a warmth in his eyes. "No need to apologize. Where?"
Evangeline tried to step back from his embrace but his grip remained firm. "Where what?" She asked in irritation. She was not going to give him the satisfaction of struggling against him.
"You said you are going somewhere? I asked you where?" Lucien kindly explained as if talking to a child.
Irritated, Evangeline almost stomped her foot," You are not the boss of me so... get out of my way."
With a shrug, Lucien let her go and stepped away, making a carry-on gesture.
His sudden stepping away had her feeling cold for a moment which made her even more angry and she walked away with a huff.
