The Housemaid's Secret

Millie is on her way to the Garricks’ apartment when Brock calls. He wants to have dinner and says they need to talk. Millie realizes she needs to tell Brock the truth about her past, so she makes a date with him for the following night. Millie rides the elevator up to the Garricks’ penthouse and is surprised to find Wendy waiting in the foyer for her.

Wendy tells Millie she found a college friend Douglas knows nothing about who is willing to allow Wendy to stay with her on her farm in upstate New York for as long as necessary. The only problem is the friend can only drive down as far as Albany to pick Wendy up. Wendy needs a ride to Albany. Millie agrees to rent a car in her own name and drive Wendy to Albany. Wendy warns Millie that Douglas is dangerous and helping Wendy will put Millie in danger, but Millie refuses to be afraid.

Millie rents a car, unhappy that the car is a bright red Hyundai. She feels the car is too conspicuous, but the rental place had few other options. As she stands at the rental counter, Millie again feels as though she is being watched.
