Emma took a deep breath. "I heard you were out with another girl tonight," she began, her eyes searching his for honesty. "You promised you wouldn't cheat on your girlfriend back home. That's why I've been helping you. What happened?"
Kevin sighed, understanding her concerns. "Aunty, it wasn't what it seemed," he explained, trying to ease her worries. "Yes, I was with someone, but it was just a date. I didn't do anything to betray my girlfriend. You have to trust me on this."
He quickly made up a story that was part truth and part lie. He told Emma that the girl he was on a date with was Riya's girlfriend's sister. He explained that he went out with her because she liked him a lot, and he didn't want to cause any tension between Riya and her girlfriend, so he played along and went on the date.
He also mentioned that he got home late because he had to pick up some things for the store, which were supposed to arrive in the morning but came tonight instead.
