But she could sense the storm brewing within him.

After all, she didn't give him a reasonable explanation for her involvement with Barlow.

Brian, with his pride and ego, would not simply accept such a blight on his honor.

“Game's still on. Shall we continue?" Sanford cleared his throat, attempting to defuse the tense atmosphere.

Rosalynn released Brian's arm, turned to him, and waited for his response.

"Yes," Brian responded with an air of indifference.

Meanwhile, Deanna's eyes smoldered with unbridled anger as she stormed off, oblivious to her surroundings.

Her hasty stride caused her to miss slowing down at a corner and colliding with an unsuspecting passerby.

"ARE"

“Hey, watch it!"

The man braced her quickly, preventing a fall.

Bristling, Deanna rubbed her aching forehead and snapped, “Are you blind or just careless?”

Taken aback, the man, who happened to be Keegan, stuttered, "Miss, I Was walking straight. You're the one who charged around the corner.“

Her rage temporarily left her speechless.

Removing her hand from her forehead, Deanna fired, “Who said those turning must give way to those walking straight? You're just slow. Why didn't you avoid me?"

Keegan could only manage a resigned chuckle.

He felt his Luck had hit an all-time low this year.

What were the odds of repeatedly encountering unreasonable girls?

“Keegan! Wait! We need to talk!"

A familiar female voice resonated from a few meters away.

Keegan's face fell upon hearing the voice. He quickly offered an apology to Deanna, saying, "Yes, entirely my fault. I apologize. I must hurry." Without waiting for her response, he hurriedly dashed away.

Why did he have to encounter Doreen now, precisely when he was on a mission?
