what does "in mock horror"mean? is she scared? or does it mean "threat?"

“Make sure you give the little shit a hard time.”
“Guy!” said Ciara, pouting. “Don’t be horrible.”
“And watch yourself, Master Rokeby,” Somé added, with his usual edge of spite. “Ciara’s a terrible slut, aren’t you, dear? And she’s like me. She likes them big.”
“Guy!” said Ciara, in mock horror. “Come on, Cormoran. I’ve got a driver outside.”

"mock" is the key here. "mock" means imitation. So she's just pretending to be scared.
