Chapter: 22
But it wasn't because of this date. She had a feeling that her narcolepsy might suddenly occur at any time.
Hence, she wanted to at least wash her face with cold water to keep herself awake.
“What? Now? Can't you just hold it in for a Little while? Anthony will arrive at any minute. It's a bit disrespectful that you're not here to greet him when he comes." However, Maria started walking away, so he called out to her in discontentment, “This place is very big. Be careful not to get lost, okay?"
On the other hand, Maria ignored him and didn't even turn her head.
Instead, she just went straight toward a certain direction.
Seeing this, Bill became curious. It should be Maria's first time here in Jade Hotel. So, why was she walking steadily as if she knew exactly where the comfort room was?
Then, as he looked further into the direction where Maria was going, his eyes opened wide. There was a guidance mark that looked like a piece of artwork. It indeed pointed out to the direction of the comfort room. Did Maria already see this earlier?
Maria staggered forward. Each passing second, her vision became more and more blurred. Fortunately, she still managed to get to the area just outside the comfort rooms.
With her consciousness quickly fading, she held onto the shared sink with both her hands. Then, she turned the faucet on for some water.
But to her surprise, nothing flowed out.
She thought that this was such a sick joke.
Jade Hotel was known as the most Luxurious hotel in Sheffield. How could there be no water in the sink? This was so unacceptable.
A second Later, from the corner of her eye, she vaguely saw a sign beside the sink which read, “UNDER REPAIR".
What an unlucky coincidence.
However, she couldn't just give up. Maria had to do something before she completely Lost her consciousness.
Still able to think, she tried to go inside the comfort room, knowing that there should be a sink in both the men's and ladies’ rooms.
But she was really dizzy at this point. She couldn't determine which side was the Ladies’ room.
Not able to clearly process things anymore, Maria just went with her gut, chose a side, and barged inside. She had no time to care whether it was the ladies’ room or not.
Inside the comfort room, she rushed to the sink and turned the faucet on. Finally, a cold stream of water gushed out, and she was able to stimulate her facial nerves with it.
After constantly splashing water on her face for a while, Maria's sleepiness eventually dissipated, and she became fully awake again.
However, from her peripheral vision, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a person standing in front of the urinal nearest to her.
At this moment, Maria's eyes widened.
Wait! A urinal?! It meant that she actually barged into the men's room, and someone was there, witnessing her stupid mistake.
The man in front of the urinal looked pretty tall and was wearing a suit.
However, Maria was slightly confused upon seeing an electric wheelchair beside him. What was it for?
