To her surprise, she sees a handsome French actor, Michel Denis, filming a movie right outside her office window.

Lucy cannot resist the opportunity to meet him, so she kicks off her high heels, puts on some comfortable shoes, and heads outside. As she tries to get closer to Michel, she accidentally crashes into a movie prop and ruins a take. Michel notices her and is charmed by her clumsiness.
