"No, I'm afraid they do not. And things have spiraled so quickly...I came in here to let you know we were in danger, and now all of a sudden, we have roped a third person, someone who's life does not matter to anyone out to hurt me, into our scheme. In addition, some strange mysterious third party has found out about what is going on, before I could make it all the way back here.
I've already put you on the spot by bringing you into my employ; and now we're adding the extra complication of me having to know and disapprove of a fake relationship -- a relationship that people might check into, including our mysterious spy on campus. That's complicated, and if that mysterious person goes back and confirms that you and Nailah are not a thing, then perhaps we have dug our hole more...
...And I'm jealous that you and Nailah get to go out and pretend like you're having a good time. I wanted to take you places; I wanted to go horseback riding and go out to eat and all sorts of things, and now I'm afraid if we do that, that I'm going to bring everything down upon my head.
