When Jessica drove back to Pearl Hotel after Michael rejected the food she had bought for him and Robert, she heard laughter as soon as she pulled out her room card from her bag. Was it the laughter of a hyena? Jessica wondered, glancing around. She was about to run out when a young lady wearing a printed black and white dress with black espadrilles, suddenly came out of her hiding with her head lowered.
‘I’m starving.’ The young woman’s voice was pleasant and somewhat familiar.
Jessica looked up to see the face clearly, she took a deep breath when she realised who it was. ‘Sharon, how could you scare the hell out of me? I nearly peed in my pant.’
Sharon laughed. ‘You nearly but didn’t do it...’
Jessica rolled her eyes at Sharon, and then turned to open the door.
‘You bought so many foods,’ Sharon said when she saw several bags containing delicious foods.
‘I had bought them for Michael but as usual he turned me down,’Jessica coldly said as she reached to carry the bags inside. Sharon helped her with some of the bags and they walked inside.
‘Jess,
how much longer are you going to torment yourself? I have already told you to
forget about him, why hurt yourself over and over again, unless you intend to
leave the rest of your life in misery. Would you want that?’
