Chapter: 9
Unfortunately, when she took a turn into a street with a few vehicles up ahead, her car was rear-ended.
Rosalynn slammed on the brakes, but due to the sudden stop, her body was flung forward, and her chest hit the stirring wheel.
What had just happened?
Was it a fellow rookie driver who had hit her?
Rosalynn touched her aching chest, knowing that it would end up bruised later. She calmed herself and got out of the car to assess the situation.
There was a huge dent on her bumper.
And it was a new car, too!
Dismayed, Rosalynn whirled around to confront the other driver.
When she noticed that they hadn't even alighted from their car, her distress turned into anger.
Rosalynn trudged over to the other vehicle and rapped on the window.
"Please get out of the car. You just rammed into my bumper."
The window slowly rolled down, revealing the sharp and handsome profile of a man.
It was none other than Brian!
For one brief moment, Rosalynn just stared at him, rooted to the spot. Then, she swiftly whirled around to hide her face.
But then, it occurred to her that this man didn't know her face at all. There was no reason for her tohide.
With that in mind, she turned to face him again, her shoulders squared and her chin held high.
"Sir, you seem to have very poor driving skills. How could you rear-end me on a road as wide as this?”
Brian glanced at her and raised an eyebrow, his voice dripping with sarcasm when he retorted, "Were you driving or strolling down a park? Even a snail could have overtaken you at the pace you were going."
Rosalynn scoffed in disbelief.
"Excuse me, but the speed limit in this area is 20 mph. Aren't you paying attention to the road signs at all? If you have problems with your eyesight, then | suggest that you get yourself a pair of glasses before you get behind the wheel again.”
What a sharp tongue she had!
Brian narrowed his eyes at her.
Rosalynn felt the air around her grew heavy and oppressive.
Her instincts told her to step away and retreat, but she stood her ground.
She opened her mouth to try and reason with him, but Brian glanced at his watch and then tossed his business card at her.
