Here are the episodes of the week of October 15 for those who missed them ...

Episode 34 - Another Morning ...

Mélanie is leaning over the photocopier, complaining about the inefficiency of the machine.

Antoine, back to his mission in the doctor's office, observes him, amused.

He has never been so happy to go back to work as after his weekend at the sea a little cold.

Except that his good humor is not contagious and that his colleague risks reducing the device to pieces.

- Do you want help ?

While Antoine offers his assistance, one of the radiologists, seated like a pasha, urges him to stay in his place.

- Leave it to the women, they are better at this kind of thing.

Antoine frowns.

He rarely rubs shoulders with doctors in this type of assignment.

In general, they do not deign to speak to him, but his status as a man must offer him today some privilege.

However, he is not at all a follower of this kind of fraternity.

- Mélanie, you are sure that ...

The second radiologist, leaning on the counter, measures him:

- Let her do it!

Antoine narrows his eyes and then observes the merry-go-round in front of him.

The men contemplate the posterior of the young woman without thinking for a moment to help her.

Jaw clenched, Antoine gets up and pushes her to take her place, bulging her buttocks as it should.

- I hope you like the view!

Mélanie looks at him, surprised but relieved.

It is difficult to impose yourself in a company without fear of reprisals, it is for this reason that Antoine likes the interim so much: he does not have to hunker down, just to lift his butt and be himself- same.

Episode 35 - Louise Doubt

Louise has her moments of doubt - although she will never admit them publicly, although she will always claim to be from the school of you can do it.

This week, confidence is not there, neither in her nor in her projects.

She accumulates refusals, her book sales stagnate.

It only manages to sell its securities in a trickle, and even then, only after efforts which eat up all its margins.

"It's not working," she confides in Aymeric, crumpling her weekly reports in her fist.

She wanted to believe in the advice: "Follow your passion, and success will smile on you".

We forget to specify the time it takes for the smile to appear.

Louise does not have the patience.

She needs to prove to her parents that she can do as well as them, that she too can start a business and sell it for a six-zeros check.

This will never be the case for his small publishing house, no matter how intense the passion it instills in it.

She already knows it.

- Give yourself time, suggests Aymeric, stroking his shoulders.

Come on, you need a break.

He leads her to the sofa, she lets herself be led just as she lets him lift her legs gently to place them on her thighs and massage her feet.

- I'm just doing that, give myself time, but in the meantime I'm wasting my energy.

I don't need a hobby, I want to create something big, which succeeds beyond my wildest dreams!

Episode 36 - Helping Friends Means Helping Yourself

As if she needed to remind herself of her principles for success, Louise took it into her head to coach Antoine in his professional life.

She can no longer see him fluttering, going from one mission to another without really landing.

Her friend has such potential that she cannot bear to see him pass her life away like this.

- It's not complicated to make a business plan, she explains, you define a mission, you budget your needs according to your expenses, you decide on a strategy to bring in income, and BAM!

You have a plan of action.

Do you feel rather comfortable with the risk?

Antoine stares at her as if she speaks Korean.

- Well, I don't know, I went paragliding once but otherwise, I'm rather careful.

Louise laughs as if she had heard a good joke, but Antoine's crestfallen air cuts her off in his burst of laughter.

- I was talking about financial risk, she says.

- Oh !

So no, for once, not too much.

- Okay, so the secret will be to inflate your cost estimate.

You add 20 or 30% to what you think you have to pay to be in business, and you base it on your lowest income projections.

Until your numbers balance out, keep thinking about strategies.

Antoine's gaze became glassy from the first words.

Louise decides to go there at an ant's pace:

- Listen, focus on your life mission and how your business will support it.

We'll see the numbers together, okay?

Antoine gives him a blank stare.

Louise sighs:

- Well, we're going from afar ...
