Sacre Coeur, Paris at our feet! And...oh! And only you and me.
And about a thousand other tourists.
Still, I thought it was totally romantic.
Because I had you all to myself.
== Aren't you gonna answer that? Nope! I'll call them back, later. Our break is so short.
The break from work was really good for you, apparently! A few weeks ago you would have taken that call.
Well, I know now what's most important.
And here I was thinking I didn't stand a chance against Thore.
== Thore, why? -- Well... You two worked together through so many nights.
-- I'm not going to let anything come between us. == Sounds good!
== We should drink to that, tonight! -- Uhm, well, tonight...I meant to talk to you about that.
-- I have an appointment, tonight. == Oh, really? With whom?
With uhm..
Doctor Doctor Sandberg.
-- We're meeting in his hotel. == In a hotel?!
I don't know, why. It was his idea. You know that he's important for LCL. He wants to book the next collection for his department store chain.
We still got Paris...
It's not so bad, as...I wanted to ask you, if you want to come along to the appointment, tonight.
You'd be of really great help to me, and maybe the appointment with Sandberg won't take too long and we could do something together, afterwards.
-- Allright. I'll come gladly, then. Do I need to prepare anything? == Nope, all taken care of.
== See you, later! -- See you!
An appointment with Rebecca von Lahnstein? I have to look into her timer, hold on.
No, tonight she's already got an appointment. Even though, it's not in here.
Oh, no, sorry, could I call you back, please? Thank you.
Hello, LCL, this is Marlene von Lahnstein. It's about the appointment tonight with Doctor Sandberg.
I really have to say, Schulz did well.
Yes, I'm looking forward to the article. I've got to get going, now.
I thought we were going to go over the draft paper, again!
I'm afraid I can't tonight. Marlene and I, we have a little anniversary and I've prepared a surprise.
This is really awkward. Apparently, we forgot to tell you.
I think it's great if you can still arrange it last-minute! Thank you.
Yes, sure, I'll send you the address.
Allright, see you later, then. Thank you! Good bye!
Marlene thinks it's a job-related appointment, so if you see her...sshh!
Oh, and...I haven't told her, yet, about us...that we...well, you know!
By now, I think it's best she never gets to know about it.
You don't have a guilty conscience, anymore?
Yes, I do. Often enough. However, I think that my infidelity was only the top of what went wrong between Marlene and me.
Still, we were so close in Paris, we haven't been that close in a long time.
Marlene doesn't know about it, but it felt like a new beginning for me.
Like a new chance! And I want to take it.
You do that. You two have fun.
Thanks. We're going to, actually.
So...here we are!
I'm sure Rebecca von Lahnstein is going to be here in...
Doctor Sandberg?
I'm sorry, this is all a big misunderstanding!
I wanted to surprise my girlfriend, which is why I told her we had an appointment with you.
I'm really quite embarrassed you had to see me this way.
Believe me when I tell you that I've seen things much more unpleasant than this.
However, since I'm here now...
all that remains is for me to wish you a nice evening and above all, an uninterrupted one.
-- Thank you and, once again, I'm so sorry. == No problem.
The surprise certainly worked! Is there a special occasion for all this?
-- Yes, there is. Happy anniversary! == Anniversary?
Yes. Today, we're together for 1 year and 6 and a half months.
Oh, that! I'm so sorry, I forgot!
-- Can you forgive me? == Yes.
This is beautiful! And it's all for me!
Yes. Let's make a toast, first.
Wait! First, I want to unwrap my present.
Oh, must be a message from Doctor Doctor Sandberg.
I don't know whether I wanna read that.
He writes he's looking forward to any upcoming meeting and he hopes we still had a great evening.
I can never look that guy in the eyes, again!
Come on, I'm sure it was a really thrilling experience for him and he's going to tell everyone he knows!
Not his wife, though.
Right, he might not tell her, but he might tell his business partners.
Besides, the fact that we are together is certainly not a secret, anymore.
Oh, this is the preprint of the interview that Thore and Caro did.
Thore and Giselle, you mean!
No, Caro! She covered for her sister.
Apparently, she did a great job! The journalist sings her praises.
Caro Schulz, the surprise bag! This woman just keeps astonishing me!
I know, me too!
From the outside she looks like a living paper clip, I suppose it's just the perfect diguise.
So it seems.
Why did Caro cover for her sister, anyways?
After all these horrible headlines, you'd think Giselle was yearning for positive press, wouldn't you?
She is. Which is why she treated herself to a chemical peeling.
Completely stupid! She got a rash and now she looks like a minced pork bread roll!
Shit! She doesn't need to do that, she looks great!
Yes, if she didn't she wouldn't be the face of LCL.
However, like so many models she's not the smartest person in the world.
Come on! It's always the most beautiful women who doubt themselves most.
She's got to work on that, though! She can't feel like that, if she wants to keep representing such a big fashion house.
Imagine this thing had happened before the LCL show! She'd be gone by now!
If Tanja gets to know about this, she's going to use it to fire Giselle.
You think, really?
You know Tanja, don't you? I hope Giselle learns from this.
-- Well, I'm off. == Your appointments for today.
-- Thanks, sweety! == Bye! -- Bye!
Giselle? Hey!
== Leave me alone! -- What happened?
-- It doesn't matter! It's all over, anyways! == What is over?
I'm fired!
Not that I'm aware of! Just calm down. Then, we'll refresh your makeup and you can tell me calmly what happened, okay?
I can tell you that!
All of you here, you're all against me!
You all think I'm too old for LCL! And unprofessional!
Nonsense! Whatever makes you say that?!
Okay, the only one who's still got a problem with you is Tanja, but we're handling her!
--Everyone wants you to present LCL: Sebastian, Thore... == Rebecca doesn't.
Of course she does!
Rebecca's totally got your back! And if Rebecca's got your back you can rely on that, 100 percent!
She of all people?!
You yourself should know best how well you can rely on Rebecca.
Excuse me?! I have no idea what you're talking about!
Sorry? Have you forgotten that she cheated on you with Thore?
In the store room.
What?!
I've been thinking we should work a lot with colour shades and then we can adjust the colour concept to Giselle.
Something like that...
Has my idea made you speechless or did someone put something in your coffee?
Oh, I get it, your surprise for Marlene was a huge success!
Well, we had some difficulties in the beginning, but then...then it was just heavenly.
== Difficulties? -- I can't tell you, it's too embarrassing.
-- I love embarrassing things! Come on! == No, I don't know.
Come on, please! Pretty pretty please!
== Hello! -- Yup! Found it in the store room!
Ooh, I'd say someone's been working a night shift!
When I left, there were only three persons here. Hellström and two ladies.
Who were these two ladies, then?
Allright! But remember: I warned you!
You bastard! Yes, we had sex in the store room!
But it was a one-time-thing and it's never going to happen again!
== Marlene, please, listen to me. -- No, it's fine! If Thore is more important to you than I.
What does Thore have to do with this?
Well, obviously you'd rather have a work weekend with him, than spend a few pleasant days with me in Paris.
Hey, aren't you gonna answer that?
Hello? Somebody there?
You in your underwear on the hotel bed?
Yes, and all of a sudden I'm facing Doctor Doctor Sandberg himself!
I just wanted to die! However, he was quite understanding.
Understanding?! Come on! You guys fulfilled his male luxury fantasy!
== Come off it. -- It's true!
It's every man's dream to walk into a situation like this one! And if possible not only to watch, but also to...
Stop it, already!
I'm just telling you how it is!
Still, I'm really happy things are right again between you and Marlene.
So am I.
Oh, look, there she is! I'll be back in a sec.
Marlene?
With all the stress that's going on, I forgot to see what's really important.
Which is what?
You and I, of course.
It's true what they say, that you have to work on a relationship, constantly.
And I'm going to do just that.
Because I love you.
There you are!
I've been looking all over for you.
Why did you leave, earlier?
Marlene?
Hey, are you okay?
Did something happen?
This is where it happened.
What do you mean?
This is where you slept with Thore!
