The freelancer, w﷽ho divides her time between Europe and her hometown of Bali, Indonesia, had reportedly needed to return to her moth🗹erland,

So the fibber informed her employers that she had a doctor’s appointment on that day, and would need to switch her work day, which was subsequently agreed upon.

“Long story short, I was waiting in the line and then I saw a familiar face coming to me which called my name,” Grace recalled, noting that her boss also often stays in Bali.

The b💫oss was quick to ridicule her attempt to play hooky.

Upon recognizing her, the bemused manager quipped, “Oh, so this is hospital?”

“I’d cry like a baby and give my resignation letter,” said another.

Fortunately, despite Grace’s initial shock, the pair ended up “laughing together” and “talking all the way to the airplane,” she said.

The errant employee didn’t disclose whether she faced any ramifications from her little “flight lie.”

However, she claimed in the TikTok comments that both she and her manager “ended up resigning” without specifying the reason.
