Bond comes to see his boss, and while his secretary informs him of Bond's coming, hugs her from behind while disarranging some papers on the desk. She annoyingly slaps on his hand.

Moneypenny: Me. Given an ounce of encouragement.

Could you explain to me the bolded part? What is "me"? The object of the subject of "gives"? And what does the whole phrase mean?
Thanks.
