The more Natasha spoke, the less confident she became. While she was still glaring at Gwendolyn with fierce hatred, she didn’t have the courage to open the door and confirm her guess.

“Why don’t you come in and find out yourself?” Gwendolyn shrugged, unperturbed, and opened the door.

Gwendolyn stood behind her, wondering where Maverick was hiding.

Natasha took in a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Like the other stalls, there was nothing inside.
