Not really, the bottom lied because he showed to know in depth stuff about the top's media problems, which are a signal the bottom either is someone sent by the agency the top works for, or that the bottom is aware of the top's bottoms from way before. Both of those are serious lies in the manhwa's context
Wait what?? No, I don't think he wanted to cut him off because of what he did. He probably said that to protect the bottom.. PROBABLY...
