Kian Sterling had just stuffed a piece of lamb into his mouth when, in an instant, his expression froze as if struck by lightning.
The next second, he spat the lamb out with a "wow," coughing madly, tears almost streaming out: "Cough cough cough... My God, what on earth is this? It's both spicy and numbing, my mouth's gonna be ruined."
Luna Sutton looked at him sympathetically. This was a super spicy sauce concocted specifically for Corbin Crowley, that scoundrel. Who knew Kian would be so quick, dipping and eating it before she could stop him?
Stifling her laughter, she quickly poured a glass of juice and handed it over, sheepishly saying: "Kian, here, drink some juice to ease the pain!"
Kian took the juice and gulped it down in one go, casting a meaningful glance over Luna Sutton and Corbin Crowley.
He wasn't a fool; Rhys Blackwood ate calmly, clearly indicating there was nothing wrong with the sauce.
