Jeremy was stunned. He didn't think she could shout this loudly. His ears hurt.
"Yes, Ma'am," he let her go seeing her angry face.
Earl got spooked by her shout and ran out.
"Thank you!" Jerlina got up and walked to the bathroom.
Although she thanked him, Jeremy detected no gratefulness from her voice and his heart sank.
What happened suddenly? She was fine last night! Is she mad that I sneaked into her room? Did she leave the door open accidentally? What have I done!
He wondered if he should leave her alone and leave. But he didn't want to leave. He waited for her to come out of the bathroom.
Jerlina took a quick shower and changed her clothes. Her entire body hurt and she stumbled out of the bathroom to have a painkiller.
When she stepped out, she was startled to see Jeremy standing in the middle of the room. Only then she remembered shouting at him. He looked stunned but she didn't care and left him behind.
