I messed up

ok wow. i'm an intern in the NY office of JPM industrials from a non-target school in Texas so i really need this job but i got caught taking a deuce while on an internal call

i was talking on the phone and went off mute by accident at the exact moment i dropped a kid off at the pool and everyone on the call heard it. i have no idea how but they seemed to know it was me. i said it wasn't and that i'm sat at my desk but i guess they didn't believe

luckily my line manager is on leave today but they've scheduled a call for monday with him.

how do i get past this?
