"What have you been doing all this time?" the fellow asked. "Did you get the right stuff?"
"What?" Angela replied in her disguised voice. "Do you think I'm stupid and wouldn't recognize the right one?"
The other man's expression darkened. "You were taking too long, that's why!" he snapped angrily.
Angela decided to stir up another confrontation, intentionally reigniting the tension. Her goal was to divert everyone's attention away from her prolonged absence in the room.
"Why the hell are you yelling at me?!" Angela snapped, her voice rising.
"Because you're too slow!" the man retorted, his frustration evident. "You may be my brother, but that doesn't excuse your sluggishness!"
His words dripped with annoyance, further fueling the tense atmosphere.
