Inside Principal Damocles' office, neither of the three girls or kwami could hear all that was going on outside. Because of this, Marinette was still hiding under the principal's desk while Chloé and Sabrina were searching for her.
"I know you're in here Marinette. Come out, now!" Chloé demanded from the designer as she stomped over to the principal's desk, giving Marinette no choice but to listen to her in hopes of getting out of this mess.
"Hide, Tikki." Marinette told Tikki, prompting the kwami to hide back in her holder's purse before Marinette came out from under the desk, showing herself to Chloé and Sabrina.
"Aha! Caught red-handed Marinette Dupain-Cheng!" Chloé crowed when seeing Marinette come out of hiding. "The principal would love my video of you snooping around his office!" the blonde brat added as she showed Marinette the video she took of her, drawing a grimace from a conflicted Sabrina while Marinette gasped in shock. But thinking quickly, she ran around the desk and grabbed the camera.
"Stop now or the class photo disappears!" Marinette threatened, her finger hovering over the delete button of the selected photo. "Would be a shame considering how good you look in the photo, right next to Adrien!" the designer sarcastically remarked, hoping that it would be the deciding push for Chloé to give in to her ultimatum.
"No!" Chloé fearfully cried out, not wanting to lose the photo.
"Hand it over, Chloé!" Mairnette reiterated, prompting Chloé to give her phone to Marinette. With the device in her hands, Marinette quickly placed the camera onto the desk and deleted the video. But this gave Sabrina the opportunity to grab the camera and pull out the memory card, which Marinette noticed when she had just finished getting rid of Chloé's blackmail on her..
"Give me that card!" Marinette exclaimed, causing a now frightened Sabrina to toss said memory card to Chloé, not wanting to be in the middle of the conflict between the two girls.
"Give me back my phone!" Chloé demanded once she had the memory card in her hand, using her newly acquired upper hand to her advantage.
"Give me the card or I'll keep your phone!" Marinette threatened, hoping that it would be enough to persuade Chloé to give up the card.
"Ha! You can keep the phone! I'll just buy another one!" Chloé dismissed, showing just how little she actually cared about things other than her hair and nails.
"CHLOÉ! Where are you!?" a menacing voice boomed from outside the office, drawing all three girl's attention to the closed door keeping them from seeing the source of the voice.
"What was that!?" Chloé wondered out loud whilst still looking at the door, giving Marinette the perfect chance to grab the card from her hand. "Hey!" the blonde brat exclaimed when she saw Marinette take the card and run off to the door, only to turn to an even further conflicted Sabrina.
"Don't just stand there! Go get her!" Chloé ordered Sabrina, prompting her to follow after Marinette. But considering she left a good amount of time after Marinette, Sabrina had missed seeing the designer running up the stairs to the library and hiding in the archway of the entrance, causing her to run right past her. "Where did that pea-brain go?" the heiress questioned out loud after she walked out of the principal's office, hoping to catch her. Unfortunately for her, Chloé's voice was so loud that she had caught Reflekta's attention from the ground floor, causing the akuma to jump back up to the second floor and land right in front of her while Chloé was searching for Marinette.
"There you are at last! Chloé Bourgeois!" Reflekta exclaimed when seeing the object of her hatred, pulling Chloé away from her searching to look at the akuma standing on the balcony railing.
