Zane nodded, not telling her that there was a restroom inside the private room. Instead, he followed her outside.
Beryl knew her way around and found an empty restroom. She turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on her face, trying to sober up, but it had little effect.
The alcohol must have been strong, judging from the burning sensation coursing through her body.
No, she couldn't stay any longer; otherwise, she would end up passing out later.
She had to get back home before completely losing her senses.
As for Marcellus... Beryl frowned, thinking that he was probably too happy to hear her explanation. Perhaps her presence had already spoiled his mood.
Beryl stood there for a while, then turned off the tap. As she prepared to leave Red Cauldron directly, she suddenly saw a tall figure standing behind her.
"Oh, my God!" She screamed and took a step back, with her waist against the edge of the pool, "Why, why are you in the ladies' room?"
In response, Zane unbuttoned his collar and approached her, saying, "I was worried, of course, so I came to find you."
As he spoke, he came closer, almost brushing his chest against her shoulder. Beryl raised her hand to push him away, but before she could, he caught her hand and restrained her, saying, "Don't move, baby. You were so well-behaved in the private room just now."
