~~ A Random Street ~~
Irina was en route to meet Peony at the City hospital. She sneaked out of the hotel without informing her secretary. As she cautiously crossed the bustling street, a car sped perilously close to her, sending her heart racing. Without a moment's hesitation, she shouted, "Are your eyes just for decoration when you're behind the wheel?"
The man behind the wheel, Garret, emerged from the car, his temper flaring. "This is my car. I'll decide how and where to drive. You, just step aside."
Irina, standing her ground, retorted, "First, learn to respect your elders before you raise your voice. Who taught you such manners?"
Garret's anger boiled over. "Don't you dare bring my parents into this. I'm in a rush, searching for my wife."
Irina's tone grew even sharper. "If you're searching for your wife by terrorising pedestrians, she might be better off without you."
