Chapter Three Hundred And Seventy-eight: Matchmaker

The third point of view:

What was he expecting? That she would feel an ounce of emotion after helping her with Fernandez? Though Emerald had helped her sincerely, the truth was that he had hoped deep down that she would somehow feel something for him.

The man lay in his bed refusing to go out. He would make things awkward for her - it was already awkward for him - if we went out even though he doubted she was still around.

But just to be sure, he remained in his room - not that he felt the urge to leave anyway.
