I would just own up. Put yourself in his position.

What if it was you trying to explain why the place wasn't open yet.

Why take revenge on someone telling the truth? Accusing him of lying is just a way to excuse yourself.

It doesn't really matter if there was a person at the door or not. You were late.

This.

Quit pointing the finger at other people as a way of avoiding responsibility.

Whether your "theory" is right or wrong (and there is no way of knowing), it offers NOTHING constructive for you to move forward with. You're spinning your wheels. You'll never get anywhere in life with this shitty, excuse-making attitude. Am I making myself clear?

Dingdingding... and Flint for the win.

Don't misunderstand, I'm not condemning you for being late. Shit happens, I've certainly been late a few times myself, but suck it up and realize only you control your actions so it is your fault you were late. It may be someone else's fault you were caught, but you wouldn't be at the mercy of someone else's motives if you hadn't made the mistake to begin with.
