Marinette gets her first job as a fashion designer at the Agreste company. But little did she know, a hot and sexy friend from her old school was her boss...Adrien Agreste. 3 bottom cover photos by Aurora Lynne. Credits from the art in my book goes...
'Excuse me sir, I'm looking for the CEO of this company...Gabriel Agreste?'
I looked up at the person who had made the statement. It was pretty obvious that they were new, seeing that they didn't even know who the actual CEO was.
Standing in front of me was a beautiful woman, who looked so familiar to me. She had deep bluebell eyes, dark hair and wore very familiar colours. Her cheeks were a rosy pink and her lips looked so soft. On her skirt a logo I was sure sure I had seen before. Smirking at her statement I looked into her gorgeous eyes and replied.
'I'm the CEO of this company now...his son, Adrien Agreste.
She looked at me as if she had seen a ghost.
Marinette POV
'I'm the CEO of this company now...his son, Adrien Agreste.'
My jaw dropped open.
Adrien raised an eyebrow in confusion and I quickly shook my head.
'H-hi A-Adrien...uhh remember me? It's been a while hehe...' I said, stuttering.
I cursed myself. I thought I was more mature than to start stuttering all over again.
Adrien eyed me sceptically.
'I'm afraid not...but you are extremely familiar...the eyes remind me of Ladybug's.' he replied.
I gushed at his reference to Ladybug.
'How do you know what Ladybug's eyes look like?' I asked, hoping my cheeks weren't blazing.
His eyes widened at my question and he laughed it off.
'Oh you know...posters around Paris and stuff...' he replied. 'Now, remind me of your name?'
I paused, taking a deep breath.
'It's me Marinette...remember me? The girl who fought with Chloe. Your best friend-well I don't know if you're best friends anymore but I'm Nino's girlfriend Alya's best friend. Ring a bell?' I said, laughing nervously.
Adrien POV
'It's me Marinette...'
That's when it hit me.
I looked in shock at Marinette's new appearance. She no longer had her two pigtails, instead, her hair had grown longer and she let it down. She had grown taller, and even more beautiful than before. Puberty had certainly done her wonders.
Getting, up, I rushed to her and drew her into a hug.
'Wow, I can't believe it's you Marinette! 5 years had made you look really different, but in a good way of course! God, I have so much to tell you!'
We sat down together and talked through everything. Marinette told me about her ambition to be a top fashion designer and how today was the first day of work at my office. I told her about my fencing achievements and how my father gave the company over to me when I was 21.
'My father took my phone away ever since I left school. I could only see Nino during the weekends and I couldn't meet you...oh um and Alya of course.'
'Oh no...why?' she asked.
'I don't know. My father was very distant to me ever since mother...' I paused, wanting the bad memories to stop coming to me.
'Why don't we look at the designs ok?' Marinette said gently, placing her arm gently on mine.
I nodded and we looked through the designs, discussing what materials to use and the customers we were aiming for.
'Marinette...this is awsome!' I said, sitting back in my chair. 'You're amazing Marinette! This design will definitely sell.'
'Well...it's all because of my lucky charm.' she said, winking, holding up the lucky charm gift I made for her 8 years ago.
'Wow! You still have it! I have mine too! It works great!' I laughed, pulling Marinette's lucky charm out of my pocket.
We laughed together and smiled at each other.
'Marinette...I have an offer for you.' I said, smiling.
'Oh yeah, and what is that?' she replied.
'How would you like to be my personal assistant? I could use your creativity to help me a lot with these designs.' I replied.
She blinked twice and smiled brightly, making my heart beat fast.
'Sure! Wow day 1 is going great!' she exclaimed.
Almost instantly, Marinette's joy was replaced with a frown as she looked away.
'What happened? Are you ok Mari?' I asked, placing my hand on hers.
She looked up at me teary eyed and I could see so much pain in them.
'Adrien...I thought, I thought I almost lost you forever. I couldn't move on, I couldn't start something new without saying something to you. I was just...'
She looked up at me and I could see a deeper meaning in her bluebell eyes. It was like a sign of a thousand words, a thousand apologies. She was almost trapped. It was as if we were connected, we shared the same pain but we just couldn't explain it. I moved close to her and cupped her face gently, and she looked up at me, trusting me completely.
'Lat go of the past...Let's live for the present.' I whispered.
We came closer and closer...until our lips connected in a single, beautiful kiss.
