A Complicated Romance (Miraculous Marichat x Adrienette)

Chapter 4

"Oh my gosh Adrien?" The shrill voice said a clear excitement to be heard within their tone.

Adrien frowned. No it couldn't be. Why? What did he do to deserve this! "Oh don't tell me you don't recognise me, I thought we had something special" The voice said shrilling even higher with disappointment. Adrien thought that his ears were about to bleed, surely this wasn't really happening he hadn't really run into.

"Lila." Adrien almost whispered as if it were a slur. Lila's smile expanded and her dark green eyes glimmered. "So you really do remember me! Oh I'm so glad Adrien. After all we had something special!" Lila cheered as her hair swayed in the wind.

Adrien rolled his eyes. He could always see through Lila and her bullshit since they were in High school. He didn't like the fact that he had yet again crossed paths with her. "What do you want Lila?" He asked with a tired expression. The brunette frowned.

"Oh Adrien why must I want something to see you?" She exclaimed as she batted her eyelashes like an attention seeking highschooler. Adrien groaned he really couldn't be bothered with this. Lila had caused his now girlfriend so much trouble back then and he didn't want to allow her back into their lives.

Luckily saving Adrien from an angry response his modelling director approached. "Adrien could you please come into the makeup trailer so that we're able to get you ready for the day?" She politely asked. Adrien forced a smile and turned to face the woman behind him.

"Of course Julie I'll be right there!" Adrien then began to walk of without giving Lila so much as a glance. He couldn't care less if it wasn't well mannered of him Adrien was sick of Lila, he didn't want to risk her trying to sabotage his life again. She was too much trouble.

Adrien walked into his makeup trailer and was greeted by the kind smile of his makeup artist. "Good afternoon Adrien!" She announced cheerfully. Adrien returned the gesture. "Good afternoon Nina!" He chirped as he walked over to the dresser and sat down at the chair. He then grabbed the protective cling film to protect his clothes from dirtying as he didn't want to give his father a reason to have a meltdown.

Julie returned abruptly. "Apologies on the interruption Adrien but it seems that you have someone joining you for today's shoot." She spoke in a monotone voice almost matching Nathalie's.
Adrien was confused. "My father never informed me about it. Who is it that I'll be shooting with?" He asked puzzled. Adrien thought it was disrespectful of his father to not inform him of this before he'd left.
Julie straightened her posture as she glanced at the blue clip board she had held tightly in her hand and a ball point pen firmly gripped in the other.
"A Miss Lila Rossi." She answered looking directly at the blonde.

A look of horror found its way onto Adrien's face.
Adrien was about to frantically state his feelings on the matter when he was interrupted. A girl had burst through the trailer door almost knocking over the director.

"Heyyy Adrien, oh my gosh how lucky that on my first day here I get to work with you!" Lila gushed as she flung her arms around the stiffened boy. Julie regained her composure after being shook by the overly eager brunette. "Well it seems that the two of you are already aquatinted now Nina please ensure that Miss Lila Rossi recieves makeup and hair duty!" She ordered before leaving.

Adrien's mind overflowed. He did not like this, not ONE bit! It was bad enough that his father was forcing him to model but now to make him model with Lila? That was where Adrien felt the need to draw a line or even build a literal wall between himself and Lila. He couldn't stand being around her, he knew how she had treated his princess during their high school days and knew all too well how much of a deceitful liar she was. No way could he work with her! Adrien pushed her off of him and hastily moved away from her.
