Declan's wife, Iris, confronts him after discovering his young female colleague, Bianca, had adjusted the car's passenger seat. She demands an explanation for this unusual breach of his usual discretion with other women. Declan insists Bianca is just an employee and professes his love, convincing Iris to believe him. The next day, however, Declan privately gives Bianca the expensive watch he'd won at auction for his wife. Iris is then informed by another person that her husband gifted the watch meant for her to Bianca.
