Belle walks through London explaining why she likes the place so much: the anonymity and the weather. Why? Because she is a prostitute. She explains that the woman in a business suit is most likely the prostitute and not the grandmother with "fuck-me" boots. She explains that to lay low is one of the most important things.
She also explains that this isn't her.
Morning; she wakes up. She explains that she isn't bothered what name she is called or her profession. There are many different "working girls", so she explains that she wasn't abused by a relative, she doesn't have any children to support and she never has been addicted to anything.
While she sits on the toilet she explains that she is very high- she charges by the hour – quite a lot. So why does a girl like her do it? She likes sex and money. She likes most to be her own boss, sort of. She has an agent however. She gets one of her clients assigned over the phone while she takes a bath. There's one problem: he is on his way over right now, and she has only half an hour notice – she prefers at least one.
So she puts on her makeup.
She goes on to explain that it is important to keep private life and the job separate. Starting with two different phones, continued by different rooms and different clothes. And most important, never start to mix things up.
Second rule: Stay in control. The gentlemen have to sit down and she stands and takes the money first.
A guy sits on her couch and sips on his glass of Champagne while she walks away and counts the money. Next on the list is that she checks in with her agent for her safety. Next on the list is hygiene: her client has to shower first.
She never wears perfume and only uses men deodorant so her clients don't smell of a woman afterwards. Most important is to work out what the client wants and give it to him as fast as possible. The guy walks in.
When they are in bed she asks him about his fantasies. The client apparently likes her to be a country girl. While they have sex (she's on top) they talk about what they see on a farm. It doesn't take long and her client reaches his climax.
While the camera shows some neighbourhood life of London she explains that she tells everyone that she's a secretary for a big international company. That's so boring, nobody asks further questions. She fools around with some guy (apparently a friend, Ben) in a café.
On their way home they look at some real estate in a window. They end up looking at the place: a big place with pool and everything. They fool around and soon run out wondering how someone can afford such a big house in London.
Later on she sits in a bar. It's a nice place, but not the most expensive place, so she already can characterize her client without having met him. Her client is called Daniel. He doesn't seem what she expected as he is quite young.
Later upstairs he seems to be having some problems relaxing, making her job a bit difficult. So the hour passes fast, but she tells him not to worry she will get him there. So she tells him to watch her working a toy. He seems to feel uncomfortable, but he leaves. He apologizes and leaves her in her in the hotel room. She asks if she did something wrong, he denies quickly and runs off.
Meeting with the agent: about four girls and the agent (an older woman) meet in a restaurant to get their finances done. The agent hands around a drawing of a guy that pays with fake money.
Belle realizes that one other girl is missing: her folks found out about what she did. Apparently Daniel made another appointment, but this time got Rachel. We also learn that the agent takes 40%.
Surprisingly Daniel sits on Belle's couch again. This time she doesn't wear any makeup and wears jeans like he requested. So she serves him a beer. He smiles. He notices her shoes, pays her and then they kiss and get on with the action. While they are having sex, her phone rings. She quickly picks it up – it's her safety call to confirm everything is fine.
Afterwards they relax a bit, he massages her. He explains that he always had girlfriends, but broke up with the last one and just was tired of a relationship. Belle mentions that her sister is nine months pregnant. Somehow she mentions her real name, so her own rule is broken: things got mixed up. We also see that they are in Hannah's room, not Belle's. So she has a problem.
The night after she sleeps in Belle's room and tries to call Ben (apparently her friend we saw earlier). Since he doesn't pick up, she lights up a cigarette.
On the phone with her agent she tells her that she doesn't want to see Daniel anymore. She makes a note in her phonebook about Daniel reading:
Danger: Daniel – Tall, Posh, Sweet, Twenties wants Hannah not Belle.
Her first client, the farm lover is there again. She has organized a saddle and asks him who will wear it. Apparently he does: so she rides on his back.
She explains why she likes that client, not because he is the richest or has most in common with, she likes him, because she never has to be herself.
