"Only if you are fine with it."

"Linger-" I wasn't able to finish as my lips wanted to spill thousands of words in one single second. "Surely you are joking! Or sick, maybe your sick. I have a great soup recipe that can-"

He completely ignored my lack of excitement as he went on. "Yes darling, lingerie!" He placed his hands on my shoulders. "I am sure the prince will very much appreciate that." He gave me a smile.

I was so shocked, my head jerked back. "I- I- I won't stand for it! I am.. very much a lady and ladies do not condone in silly things like that!" I shook my head.

His grin widened, "oh yes indeed. But you must always remember that, a lady must act proper and polite in the public eye. But when you aren't, let's just say you can act as devious as you may want. It is just you and your fiancé is it not?" He let go of my shoulder and disappeared between a row of cupboards.

"Well yes, but I don't really think lingerie will help with anything! I- I really believe that if anything i would be better without it. You understand my point right..?"

I heard his now slow footsteps approach. He peaked at me from the cupboard. "Oh my... don't tell me it's because.." he slowly made his way to me.

I felt sweat prickle at my forehead. Oh my- did he know? Had he cracked the case already? Was I that obvious??

"You are not positive with your body appearance?" He stood before me.

My lips parted. Not positive with my body appearance? What does that even mean? Of course I was positive with my body! I have a nice shape thank you very much. I've been told that plenty of times by my...Aunts and cousins. My expression turned into a frown. My hands came around me, hugging myself. Oh.

"Oh dear.." he grabbed my hands and pulled me over to a seat. He plopped down onto the cushion beside me. "Listen, I will tell you what I tell all of my clients with body insecurities." He leaned forward and grasped my hands in his.

"There is not a thing wrong with you. You may pick at the littlest imperfections of your body and hang onto those. And let me tell you, people do not see these imperfections as you do. And do you know why?"

I shook my head.

"Because they are caught up in their own imperfections. Just as you are. You could spot the prettiest girl or handsomest guy and you may think. Oh look, they have it good. But the truth is, that no one has it good, you could be the most prettiest and you could receive compliments all through the day and still feel as if your not enough. And do you know why is that?"

I shook my head once again.

"Because what other people think of you isn't enough. Some may act like it is but we all know it isn't. You want to feel satisfied with yourself. And to be satisfied with yourself, you need to fix your heart and mindset. And I am perfectly sure that Adrien of all people will not point out your imperfections but embrace them. Also, you have the body of a beauty goddess. Only.. you just could be a bit taller." He smiled at me.

I didn't notice before but I had actually began to tear up. I sniffed and smiled back at him. "You could be an inspirational speaker or therapist." I let out a laugh, reaching up to wipe away my stray tears.

He parted his lips to speak but was cut off as we heard a knock from the door. "Uhm Marinette? Sorry to bother you both but, we really must get going." Adrien's voice rang from behind the door.

"She'll be out in just a minute!" Mr. Leany stood up and pulled me with him. "Now, what type of lengerie do you prefer?" He turned to me.

"Oh really, I genuinely don't want lenger-"
