INT. WORK OFFICE - Thursday , 14:20PM

Scott comes back to the desk and drops the papers down. He is still annoyed about Natalie flirting with Glenn. He watches glenn until Angela , the boss , distracts him by dropping a folder of papers in front of him.

ANGELA

SCOTT

Erm… I’m sorry … but I'm already doing this Angela. Glenn doesn't seem to be doing anything.

ANGELA

Scott he is already doing a pile of work. Your the only person who seems to not be pulling your weight around

here.

SCOTT

(Looks Down)

I will have it on your desk early Monday morning Angela.

Angela walks of. He becomes stressed and puts his face into his hands. He then unlocks the draw to his desk. He opens the draw. Inside are scattered photos of Natalie. He runs his fingers down the photo at the top of the pile. Someone walks past and he quickly closes up the draw.
