Occasional Wife

Peter, a junior executive at a New York business, figures out that single men at his company are generally passed over in favor of married men, thought by top execs to be more stable, so he asks his upstairs neighbor and friend Greta if she'd be willing to pose as his wife for company functions. She agrees, not knowing how it would affect her personal life. Whenever someone from his company unexpectedly dropped by "their" apartment, Peter would run up the fire escape two floors to fetch Greta, much to the bemusement of the neighbor in-between them.
