---One day in October. During their lunch break from work. Max arrives with an overly excited Rocky. Max asked her to tag along to arrange furniture pieces for their set because their designer can't make it to work. They can hear her shrieking in the halls.
AG: Is that Rocky?
---Then the door swung open.
Rocky: (shrieks) Show them, Maxy! Show them! Show them! (taps his arms nonstop)
Max: Okay, okay! Take it easy will you?
Rocky: (keeps calm in an instant) Okay. (exhales deeply)
---And while Max takes his laptop out of the bag, Rocky is hopping around making cute noises.
Yeo: Something good must have happened.
Rocky: This is the best day ever! (hugs Yeo)
AG: What happened? Come on, show us.
---Max plugs his laptop onto their TV for better viewing. And then there's Chris Evans in the photos.
Boys: Whoa!
Max: (to Syd) He dropped by our office man. Turns out, we closed a deal with a client who got him as an endorser.
Syd: How come I missed this day?
Max: Lucky Rocky here saw him and (clicks keys) had a chit chat with him. And Chris kind of gave in to her charm and did a mini photo shoot with her.
---Rocky shrieks and hugs Yeo tighter.
Rocky: Lookie! Lookie! Lookie!
---It's a Great Gatsby theme. The staff dolled up Rocky a bit as Chris and her enjoyed a few shots.
Yeo: Nice one sis!
Blake: Hey you actually look good together.
Rocky: Really?! (giggles) He's so nice. Very down to earth. (sighs) Okay, I'm tired. (drinks water)
Max: She has been this hyper for like more than an hour now.
Rocky: Thank you so much, Maxy! (hugs him and kisses his cheek). Mwah!
Max: Yeah okay, you're welcome. But you promised you'll set me up with your colleague. Keep it.
Rocky: (still hugging him) I promise.
Taylor: So what happened to your idea of dating Rocky?
---Syd looks at them. AG and Rain are hitting each other's elbow.
Rocky: (pulls herself away) Oh Maxy won't date me. He said I'm a handful. (frowns)
Max: (snorts) I didn't say that. I just said that you're a bit too much for me.
Rocky: (shrugs) Same thing.
Rain: Aww, our baby girl, come here. (hugs Rocky) Yeah honestly? You're a lot of things and Max is a lot of things, too. So you being together would be chaos.
Rocky: (hits his tummy) Yeah thanks for that.
---Rain laughs so hard with his hand on his tummy.
Max: Too bad we figured out we're not a match.
Blake: (confused) How on earth do you figure out things like that?
---Max and Rocky looked at each other and laughed.
Max: Well, remember that weekend? The Do or Drink and we chose to kiss because we're too drunk to take another shot?
Rain: Uh-huh? So that's it?
