"she likes—ultimately likes—Jerrod."

"Done!"

Larissa proudly announced, after peeling the last bit of garlic in her hand.

"Well done!"

Jerrod lightly clapped his hand after seeing Larissa finally get up from the couch. Larissa takes an hour to finish peeling off the rest of the garlic. She then cleaned up the floor and was about to open the cabinet when Jerrod jumped right behind her and pushed the door.

"Please, I've had enough of the ghost. I don't want to see it even if you can hit it." said with a scowl on his face.

Larissa gasped internally, as she felt bad for forgetting about Jerrod's fright. She then stroked his furrowed brows and gently comforted him with her gentle voice. "I'm sorry. I will make sure the ghost won't appear in your eyes again."

"Thanks."

"Then can you please move now?" Larissa asked, as she couldn't push Jerrod away from her because of her stinky hands. "I won't open the cabinet."
