If that was the case, why did she not warn him about the glue before he sat down?

“Shh…” She placed a finger on her lips. “I’d advise you to keep quiet. If you attract any attention…” She trailed off right there, but she made herself clear. It would be embarrassing if word got out about his predicament. How funny would it be to hear that the Mr. Yeager was glued to the stool?

“Ethan, I guess Alice is only discussing stuff with Bruce. Yes, that must be it. They must be discussing Woland Group.” Irvin helped Alice out, mostly because he could not stand the hostility coming from Ethan, but even he believed that he sounded unconfident.
