What does Esther 7:8 mean?

When the king came back from the garden to the banquet hall, Haman had thrown himself on the couch where Esther was. The king said, 'Will he even assault the queen right here in my own house?' As soon as the king said this, they covered Haman's face. Esther 7:8 - Modern Text Bible

(Haman’s desperate actions look incriminating, and the king interprets it as an attack. Covering Haman’s face signals his doom.)
