Because that should be simple enough, shouldn't it?

We could make it work if you give us an extra week.

Appreciate it, Annabel. Here to help.

Alright, any other urgent matters

before I release you all back into the wilds?

No. No. Thanks, Annabel.

OK, I will see you 11am Monday.

Thanks, guys. Thanks very much.

Cheers, everyone. Bye-bye.

Come on, you fucking wankstick.

I'll add that to the minutes, shall I?

Oh, my God. You can hear me.

I'm so sorry. Um...I'm...I'm new.

Uh... What, to life?

It's my second week in the office,

and they've probably just giving me this laptop...

Fucking interns.

Surprise!

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday, dear Annabel... #

Hey, man. Welcome. Have some cake. Thanks.

Mac said that these came for you

and to let her know if there's... Cheers. Thanks.

..anything urgent.

Great.

I'm really sorry about before.

That's alright. We've only been using Zoom about three years.

I'm sure you'll pick it up, eventually.

Hm.

Well, happy birthday, anyway.

I'm Florian.

Sorry. Annabel.

Quite the rager, your morning tea.

Yeah, I did tell them not to go to any trouble,

but management did insist on the cocaine and lobster platter.

Oh. Well, I love lobster.

Oh, I...did my PhD on the Office UK.

The... Oh!

Yeah, I just can't get enough of Stephen Merchant's brain.

I get it.

Stephen Merchant is the kind of guy who would drive you to the airport.

He'd drive you both ways and, you know, buy lunch, probably.

I mean, look, Steve Carell, he's great as well.

Great. Thanks. Could you close the door on the way out?

Yeah. Sorry. Yeah.

Good afternoon. Thank you.

Bye.

Been a while since the last one, right?

Yeah, three years. Hm.

Keep flipping between... I don't know.

"Maybe this is the last time."

And... "Fuck it. Fuck you. I'm not opening it."

I'm going to, I don't know, set it on fire or something.

OK.

You know, I give extra credit for swearing.

You've set some pretty solid boundaries during your recovery.

When those boundaries are disrespected,

it's going to definitely trigger

some uncomfortable feelings around trauma.

So I reckon

you don't need to take any action with the letter right now.

When wounds open up,

our instinct usually points us towards the best way to heal.

You have a great toolkit, Annabel.

Use it.

I'll see you later, Frank.

I think you forgot something.

Oh. Um...

Sorry, I'm not...very on top of things today.

Oh, um, how can I help?

I was just wondering...

..what are you doing after work?

Um...I'm going home.

Do you want to not do that?

Do you want to have a drink?

With me. Oh. Um...

I, uh, usually feed my, um, worm farm on a Tuesday.

Is that a metaphor?

For what? I don't know.

I've just never heard anyone say

that they need to feed their worm farm

as an excuse to not have a drink with anyone.

It's not an excuse. It's very real.

OK.

So that is...

..a yes.

You would need to leave by 10:00.

OK.

Fuck.

This is better than one of those meditation apps.

Is this an every Tuesday night thing?

Um, well, worms like routine.

Oh, I'm glad I'm not a worm, then.

I don't like routine.

So, uh, tell me, um,

why did you want to come work with us, Florian?

Um, well, it's more of a stop gap, really.

Teaching burnt me out

and I thought I would kill some time in the corporate world.

Nice. Mm.

And what next?

For my career or this evening?

We could open another bottle.

On a school night? I'm impressed. Oh, we don't have to.

No, no, no. No, I'm kidding.

I'm down.

Stop.

Give me that.

Sit. Don't move.

I'll get it.

We don't have to drink this if there's somewhere you have to be.

Uh, nope.

Not anymore.

No, please don't break some young girl's heart on my account.

Or some young man's.

How presumptuous of you. Oh. I am so sorry.

No, no, I'm just kidding. It was a woman.

Well, don't not go on a date because of me.

I'd be interested to hear what you thought tonight was.

Why did you want to have a drink with me?

I...

..get the sense that maybe you're a little bit odd.

Thanks a lot! In a good way.

In a...in a...in a great way.

I consider myself a bit odd.

I think the world could do with some more...odd people.

Maybe 'outsiders' would have been a better...word.

Um...

I suppose I am a bit of an outsider.

Yeah, well, us outsiders need to stick together.

Mm.

Plus, not being into routine...

..means that I'm pretty open-minded about lots of things.

Oh.

Ha.

Oh... ..it's a queue of people

that you're letting down tonight.

Mm-mm. No, no.

Uber.

It's 9:55 and, um...

..I have a very hard out at 10:00

as requested by my pleasant and very attractive companion.

Right.

Well, thanks for a lovely evening.

I'm not sure I would have learnt about throuples

if it had just been me and the worms.

Oh!

Why are you laughing?

What year were you born?

Does it matter?

Yeah, there's a reason for that.

Those people will see.

Don't look at them.

Look at me.

So did you do anything last night?

Nah, nothing, mate.

Nothing.

They'd just kill me.

I mean, obviously it didn't work.

I'm very, very respectful.

But, you know, sometimes I just...

Annabel.

Yes.

You OK?

Yes.

Good.

Sorry.

No, no, no, no. No, no.

OK, sit here.

Tell me what you want.

I want what you want.

I want you to tell me...

..what to do.

Alright.

Take off your shirt.

Do it.

Pants.

Come here.

I'm going to fuck you now.

Is that what you want?

Yes.

Ah!

You're into some dumb stuff.

What?

What's wrong?

I don't know.

No, it's not something I've ever really

explored with other partners or even, um...

..talked about.

It's OK.

Is it something you're into?

My tastes are fairly broad.

I like what my partner likes.

Because I wouldn't want to be treated like that in real life.

Of course not.

It's play.

There have been times in my life when, um...

..I didn't have much control.

Or any, really.

Someone else had all the power. Mm.

But THAT, that was like, um...

..giving up my power when I wanted to,

on my own terms.

And...I don't know...

It doesn't make much sense.

I'm probably not making any sense. It does, it does. I get it.

Speaking of power...

..we work together.

For now, yes.

For now? Mm.

No shade to the nice people who work at the office,

but I plan to be out of there in a month, latest.

Oh, because I wouldn't want to, uh...abuse my position.

No.

No, no. I am so happy with my choices.

I have full agency here.

Take control? A little bit.

But you've gotta do something... Yeah, I've got him.

OK. Alright.

Yeah, we still need to confirm the schedule,

but that's what we're aiming for.

- Yeah. - OK, great.

Did you get the figures for that?

Uh, yep. They're back on track.

Now to evaluate targets...

..we're going to have to review KPIs.

Mm-hm.

I am going to hand over to Vanessa, who's going to talk...

Um, I think it's important to remember that...

Does anyone have any questions so far?

Nothing?

I think we lost you there.

Annabel, you'd agree with that, wouldn't you?

Mm-hm.

Yes, that's right. OK.

Oh!

Excellent. Thank you. Ooh.

- Is everything alright? - Yep.

Yeah, yeah, it's fine.

What are you up to?

Uh...well, it's Monday.

I don't do anything on Mondays.

OK. I love doing nothing.

Do you want to do nothing together?

Look, I don't mean to be rude...

But fuck off, Florian. I didn't say that.

I just wasn't expecting you.

Don't you ever feel kind of stuck living your life via a schedule?

No. Well, just saying that...

..I find it a bit restrictive.

Well, it's not for everyone.

Uh, sorry.

Sorry, sorry. I totally misread this situation.

No. It's alright. Wait, wait. No, no, no.

Um...it's alright. I'm sorry.

But your schedule. Just stay. Just stay.

Are you sure? Yes.

OK.

Undress for me.

Pants.

Hm?

Get on your hands and knees.

Crawl to me.

I'm not sure I want to do this.

Yes, you do. I don't.

I'm telling you, Annabel, that you do. Now...

I'm serious, Florian! I really don't want to do this!

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't...

It's alright. I wasn't trying to force you.

No, it's fine. I know, I know.

I'm so sorry. I really am sorry.

Do you want to do something else? Perhaps not.

If it's alright, I think you should probably just go.

Yeah.

I...

I'm really sorry.

I shouldn't have just dropped in like that, should I?

No.

Not dead or buried.

Is there anything else I need to know?

Nothing urgent.

So I shouldn't expect a surprise visit or anything?

No, you're safe.

Well, thank fuck.

Yep. Thank fuck.

Did you want me to hold on to it?

Yes, please.

I think I'm done with her.

Actually, um...

Now, I'm only going to tell you this once.

Open your legs.

And don't you even dare touch yourself until I give my command.

When I tell you to come, that's when you come.

Say, "Yes, master,"

so I know you've understood.

Do it, Annabel.

Yes, master.

# I can't face

# Another sad and rainy day

# Oh, won't you, please

# Help me chase my blues away

# Far away?

# Laughter

# Is my happy ever after

# All I'm asking is to sit for a while

# My last penny for a smile. #
