Answer :

Mmm, tough one! A bit rude if she doesn’t know you well. Is her brother far away or abroad so that they do not talk often? That could mean she wanted to speak to him then as she would not get another chance too soon. Were they discussing a serious issue? She could have told him she would call him back if it was not something serious. Yes, for a new friend she made you feel a bit awkward. I would have asked discreetly: ” Am I interrupting? ”
