Caelan is confronted when a woman suddenly appears in his car and introduces herself as his fiancée—an arrangement made by their families though she never agreed. Colleagues note Caelan supposedly isn’t interested in women. She follows him to the office, bringing a Pomeranian. Caelan heads inside while Nora and staff spot the fiancée settled in Mr. Fraser’s office. Whispers spread because Caelan is known to be afraid of dogs. The situation escalates from awkward exposure to reputational risk, ending with her and the dog in his office as staff wait for his reaction.
