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.
Even if she doesn't like him now, at the least her forgiveness would go a long way in cleansing his guilty heart. But then, he got no forgiveness nor her heart.
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. Fernandez was the reason she came here, now the problem was settled, there was nothing to hold her back again; leaving was inevitable. But just to be sure, he remained in his room - not that he felt the urge to leave anyway.
