Of course he didn't just happen to be annoyed.  The point is that the language doesn't express the reason for his annoyance and turning but simply juxtaposes the two events (her action and his action) then leaves it to the reader to infer that the one occassioned the other.

  So Paul just happened to be annoyed and he just happened to turn? He 
didn't turn because he was DIAPONHQEIS? He wasn't annoyed (disturbed, 
grieved, whatever) because of the ruckus this girl was making? I'm 
with Elizabeth; the position of Parsons/Culy makes no sense to me. 
Why mention it, if it is not related?
