The other woman was positively embarrassed by now, so after exchanging some pleasantries, she stood up and said, "It's getting late; I have to rush back to take care of some things."
"What happened?"
"I need to deal with a traffic accident."
"Traffic accident?"
She nodded. "Eh! I was rear-ended by a Bentley today, so I'm not done dealing with some matters yet."
"Are you hurt?" The man expressed a token of concern.
The woman shook her head. "Nothing much. It was a case of tailgating, and nobody was seriously injured."
"That's good."
After nodding her head, she said, "I'll be going now. You guys rest early; see you all tomorrow!"
After saying that, she stood up, picked up her handbag, and slinked away like a defeated soldier.
