Chapter 88
"Miss Marianne??... Is there... a....Gasp! I apologise! Please let me guide you. This way, Young Lady."
Mister Thomas guided me into the hallway that led to the Duke’s office.
However, when he walked further into the hall, bypassing the office’s door... I knew there was some kind of failure in our communication.
I halted in front of Marianne’s Father’s office, confused by the elder’s error.
’Where is he going??’
Right after a few steps, he noticed I wasn’t following behind him and, looking back at me, he asked from the other end.
"Miss? The restroom is further inside..."
"...!!"
’Restroom?!!! You mean the toilet?? Oh my God! Why did he think I wanted to use the bathroom?!?!?!’
I was horrified by the big misunderstanding. From asking to be taken to the Duke, I went to be taken to do my necessities... Which is truly ridiculous... and embarrassing.
Just as I did at the entrance, I pointed at the door in front of me. However, this time, I stabbed the air repeatedly to indicate the place I was referring to from the very beginning.
"Oh My! I apologise Little Miss! I misinterpreted your gestures greatly... Given how the Little Miss was running with the tip of her toes in the same spot... Hohoh. Excuse me, Miss."
