>male protagonist is suspicious of female co-protagonist so he confronts her
>she recounts the sob story of how she found herself in that situation and how she basically had no choice but to lie, it was a white lie anyway
>protagonist is still a tad bit suspicious but mostly satisfied
>turns out most of it was made up and co-protagonist tries to kill protagonist twice shortly after that because that's what she's been ordered to do
>in the end protagonist manages to get his revenge by getting co-protagonist fired
>that way she doesn't have to kill him anymore and they can go back to working together happily ever after
Does this sound too convoluted?
Too tragic?
