We know she was waiting, but it doesn't affect the plot, which is why it wasn't necessary to mention that she was. The Story section is intended to be a summary of events so readers know the major details in case they don't know or have forgotten what happened.

If someone asked you what Annie did in that chapter, you probably wouldn't tell them that she waited around for Eren to come out. :)  You would mention that she was stomping into the underground tunnel and then fought Eren when he came out.
