The narrator runs a spotless home for Gavin, pressing shirts and cooking meals while he claims endless overtime. A singed mark and unfamiliar scent on his underwear lead her to a parking garage, where she watches him kiss Victoria Lang, his married boss, beside an expensive car.

At the firm's tenth-anniversary gala, Victoria takes the stage to announce Gavin's promotion — only for police to arrive and arrest them both.
