Dramatic irony is introduced in Chapter 4. In this chapter, Aldric is panicking about his qualifications and fearing that Sarai will discover his lack of experience. However, at this point in the story, the reader knows that Sarai is also feeling nervous and unqualified for the interview. This creates a situation where the audience understands the tension and fears each character has, while the characters themselves are unaware of each other's insecurities.
Chapter 1: Sarai is nervous about her job interview. She spends her morning getting ready and practicing what she will say.

Chapter 3: Sarai arrives at the interview and is told Aldric will be right with her. She grows increasingly nervous as time passes and he does not appear.
Chapter 4: Aldric is panicking in his office, imagining scenarios where the superstar he is interviewing discovers that Aldric is, himself, unqualified, and walks out.
Chapter 5: Aldric and Sarai shake hands across the table. They both smile nervously. The interview begins.
