"It's okay,calm down" Alex said, holding her hands and trying to comfort her.

She slowly calmed down. Seeing her hand being held by another man, Clara quickly withdrew her hand.

He failed to unlock it and kicked the car in frustration. Seeing this, Kiel quickly retrieved the keys and volunteered to drive. " Why don't you go sit and let me drive?"
