Chattering ensued as all eyes fell on Brianna, standing some distance from Adele and Elliot. Flashes of lights from cameras illuminated her face, voices yelling at her, asking if she'll accept Adele's apology.
Those who knew Adele couldn't help but wonder if the hotheaded woman would really apologize; they felt anxious to know what would happen next.
The crowd parted as Brianna walked forward, mouths agape and eyes wide in anticipation, but Adele and Elliot were yet to spare her a glance.
'Why won't he look at me?' Brianna frowned as she stared at the back of Elliot's head. 'Didn't he hear when I called him?' she thought.
"Adele," Brianna started, almost mockingly. "I was told you wanted to apologize?"
Adele kept a stern expression as she maintained eye contact with the handsome young man she had just met. She narrowed her eyes at Elliot, "Tell her I'm not apologizing."
