Nina felt her body tense at the question. "I would like to use the restroom, please," she quickly responded before Marcus could reply.
"Restroom? Didn't you ease yourself before we..."
Before he could finish, Nina yanked his arms off her body and ran towards a particular room, as if she was certain that was the restroom.
"That's not a restroom," Mr. Hayes yelled at her, and she paused her steps.
He directed one of the servants to lead her to the visitors' restroom.
When she was out of sight, A smirk crept onto Marcus's lips, but he quickly hid his reaction, as he didn't want Hayes to know what truly had happened.
He knew that Nina never had any urge to defecate but just wanted to divert the topic that Mr. Hayes brought up.
Inside the restroom, Nina leaned her back against the wall and placed her hand on her chest to calm her pulse down.
"What exactly is my offense? Why is everyone assuming we're a couple?" She questioned herself, clenching her lips, her gaze upcast.
