Why did Elizabeth tell Nigel that she was going to the dentist?

'Hello,Nigel,' I said,'Fancy meeting you here!'
'Hi,Elizabeth,' Nigel answered,'I was just wondering how to spend the morning -- until I saw you,You're not busy doing anything,are you?'
'No,not at all,' I answered,'I'm going to...'
'Would you mind my coming with you?' he asked,before I had finished speaking.
'Not at all,' I lied,'but I'm going to the dentist.'
'Then I'll come with you,' he answered,'There's always plenty to read in the waiting room!
参考译文
我穿过马路以便避开他，但他看到我并朝我跑过来。若再装作没看见他已是没有用了，我只好向他招手。我就怕遇到奈杰尔.戴克斯。他从来都是无事可做，不管你多忙，他总是坚持要跟你去。我得想办法不让他整个上午缠着我。
,你好，奈杰尔，想不到在这儿见到你。”我说。
,你好，伊丽莎白，”奈杰尔回答说，“我正不知道怎么消磨这一上午呢，正好见到好。你不忙，是吗？”
,不，不忙，我打算去......”我回答。
,我跟你一道去行吗？”没等我说完话他就问道。
,没关系，但我准备去牙医那里。”我说了个谎。
,那我也跟你去，候诊室里总有很多东西可供阅读！”他回答。
