You’re entitled to a break; simply step away and do what you need to do. No reason to provide any explanations.

Also, if you’re colocating, chances are you’re traveling and have the ability to offer Qasr prayers which will take less time and can also be combined at Asr thus allowing you to complete prayers late evening once you’re back at the hotel.

Yeah, but my team works very close knit and they’re very nosy.
One of the people is married to an ex Muslim so they keep asking me all these questions that I answer honestly.
Like if I only have 10 minutes, how am I supposed to make with wudu in a corporate bathroom?

I agree with KPMG1, I’d also say add that when I work with new team members who may not be aware of my practices, then I’ll inform them that as a Muslim I pray 5 times a day and I’ll be excusing myself to pray.

I agree with the comments above. I know that if i said that to my team they would be more than accomodating and wouldn't mind me taking a break. Everyone should be more than respectful of that.
