Smiling politely while stepping outside and closing the door behind her, she answered, "I'd like to just eat in my room. And please have Sandra deliver the food."

"Sure."

"Thank you, sir Marcus."

The attendant nodded in response and went on his way. While the other man remained, silently staring at her.

She shifted her head to him, "Is there something you need from me, sir captain?"

Scratching his temple while avoiding her gaze, he replied, "I want to apologize for what my sister had done, my lady."

His voice was laced with awkwardness and hesitance. But Mona got confused by his words.
