Mock defiance

Dear all,

I read a sentence on a novel that I'm not sure of the exact meaning.

A girl(A) saw her boyfriend (B) talking to a beautiful woman.

A: Who was not? Do you know her?

"Hey, hey, hey." B said, with mock defiance. “She was just asking for direction."

What exactly does "mock defiance" mean?

Thanks a lot!
