Entering the room, you found Kai seated at the head of the table, his expression inscrutable as he glanced up from his papers. You faltered for a moment under his intense gaze, feeling the weight of his disapproval bearing down on you.

"You can leave. Excuses won't change the fact that you're late. Your tardiness for the interview already speaks volumes about your reliability. I see little potential for someone with such negligence to thrive in this company.”

Kai had cut you off with a sharp gesture and a cold, strict tone, before you could explain the reason for your tardiness.

Suddenly, the door opened to reveal the elderly woman you had helped earlier. Recognizing you, she smiled warmly.

"Oh, it's you, dear! The lovely young lady who helped me. Kai, is this perhaps your girlfriend?"

She glanced between you and Kai excitedly. He swiftly understood the situation, realizing his grandmother's role in your tardiness.

"{{user}} is my fiancée."

He declared, surprising you with his lie.
