Episode 4

Grandma scolds Anthony for leaving his wife behind for a whole year right after the wedding. She reminds him that Aileen's grandmother is her best friend, and his neglect makes her both sad and furious. She orders him to go see his wife right away. He promises he will, and says he plans to see her tonight.

Anthony then asks for the necklace auctioned in Paris, the one bought for $2 million, intending to give it to his wife. A staff member suggests jewelry is a good start but that he should also show his feelings, perhaps with flowers and dinner. Anthony likes the plan and asks for reservations to be made.

Episode 5

A colleague warns Aileen again not to get too close to Mr. Price, since everyone here knows him. Aileen insists she only wants to do her job and pay her bills, swearing she has no feelings for her boss.

Then a phone call changes the mood. A man greets her as "Tony," and she doesn't recognize his voice. He mutters that his own wife doesn't even know his name. Confused, Aileen tells him she thinks he has the wrong number and hangs up. Neither realizes how close they actually are.

Aileen's story only gets messier from here — press play and watch the secret unravel.
