It was Marinette's first day of work on Monday, and she was tripping over her own feet out of excitement. Literally.

When she stepped off the elevator, she tripped and landed on her chest. Adrien was sitting on one of the couches in the office and hurried over to help her get up.

"Are you alright?" Adrien asked her and reached out his hand. Marinette shook it off and took his hand to stand up.

"Yeah," she smiled, "I'm alright. Thank you." Adrien looked at her smile and then at their hands that were still together. Marinette kept talking and told him, "I'm really clumsy so backup any documents on your desk just in case I ever spill coffee on them."

Adrien laughed nervously, "I'll be sure to do that. Chloe left a list of things that didn't get to be finished and a copy of her agenda on your desk. I trust you'll do fine."

"Yeah," Marinette nodded, "if you believe in me, I can believe in myself, too." After Marinette said that, she realized Adrien was still holding her hand because he slightly squeezed it. Her eyes darted to look at their hands and she quickly pulled her hand, making Adrien feel embarrassed. "D-Do you want coffee this morning?"

"Y-Yeah," Adrien stuttered and ran his hands through his hair, "that'd be great. Wait a second please, though." Marinette saw him walk towards one of the couches and pick up a brief case. He walked back to her and held it out in front of her. "This is for you," Adrien smiled. Marinette stared at it in awe. It was made of black leather, it had a golden ladybug charm hanging from the zipper of the side pocket, and it looked really expensive.

"Mr. Vice President, I can't accept this," Marinette murmured.

"You will," Adrien said and put it in her hand. "Consider it a thank you gift."

"Well, thanks," Marinette smiled and stared at the briefcase.

"Ask me why there's a ladybug charm on it?" Adrien grinned.

"Why?" Marinette asked and looked at him.

"I don't know, you tell me," Adrien said, grinning wider. Marinette rolled her eyes at him and gave him a small smile back. "I'm pulling your leg," he laughed," it's because they represent good luck. Meeting you was out of good luck." While Adrien was blushing, Marinette was confused.

"What? How was meeting me good luck? I spilled coffee on you on the most important day of your life," she told him.

"Of my career," he corrected her," but it was good luck. Trust me."

"If you say so," Marinette told him as she played with the ladybug charm with her index finger and thumb. "I appreciate this a lot. I was actually going to use my last check from the café to buy one."

Adrien smiled, "No problem at all. I had them make it for you Saturday, and they finished it this morning. It has your name on the back." Marinette immediately turned it over to look at the back of the briefcase and saw MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG engraved on the bottom in gold.

"It's really pretty," Marinette said as she smiled at the name. She looked up and said told him, "Thank you." She looked him in the eyes and saw them shift away quickly.

"No problem, Madam Secretary," Adrien told her as he stared at a painting on the wall. Marinette giggled at his awkwardness and walked to her desk. Adrien followed behind her and went inside his office. Marinette set the brief case and her purse down on her desk. There was a stack of papers in organized folders and an agenda with a letter sticking out. She opened the agenda that had important dates for the next four months, and then she opened the envelope. It was a letter from Chloe giving her instructions she had gone over the day before, the location of the What If _ folder, and wishing her good luck. She was as sweet as honey.

Marinette put the letter away and went to make Adrien coffee at their little coffee station. The coffee maker looked brand new, and it was the same design as the one in the coffee shop which she was thankful for. When she finished it, she knocked on Adrien's door, and he told her to go in.

"Hey," Marinette smiled, "I just brought you your coffee to start the day." Adrien looked like as if he had cat ears, they would've perked up. He stood up straight in his chair and gave her a wide smile.

"Thank you. I'm glad that the old coffee maker will finally be put to use. I kid you not, Chlo- I mean Mrs. Bourgeois only used it about three times in the last two years that we've had it," Adrien said. Marinette carefully placed the coffee on his desk and made her way out with Adrien watching her carefully each time. She tried to pretend that she didn't notice, but it was really hard when she wanted to look back at him, too.

She sat down in her swivel chair and leaned back. She took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling. This was her new office, and she was super close to the first boy in years to make her heart beat in funny patterns. Even if he did act strange sometimes, she was grateful that she had met him. It just wasn't as fun with her heart. She tried to not be excited when she saw Adrien, and she thought she was doing a good job. It was really hard trying not to tease him about blushing and staring at her. But she didn't know if he'd get over it really fast, so she wasn't going to try to make a move. It'd be really weird to date your boss anyways. She sat up and looked at the file of papers on her desk.

It was time to prove herself.

Marinette finished all of the work on her desk by 5, and her shift ended at 6. She arranged two meetings with customers using a template Chloe had left her, and she already pulled out the What If _ folder for one of them since they were being stingy. Chloe did tell her that if Adrien needed her after 6 to deliver things to other floors, to organize papers, or any other job, he'd tell her. She was Adrien's secretary, but she felt as if she was the guard to his jail cell. He didn't leave the office once and the two times she went inside to put papers in the files and give him more coffee, he was looking at some papers.

Marinette met up with her best friend Alya for lunch earlier, and when she had to leave, Alya kept blowing up her phone. She was done with work so she opened the drawer where she shoved her phone and saw all the messages Alya had left her. They were all about her imagination of Adrien the Vice President and Marinette the Sexytary which made Marinette laugh... uncomfortably.

Marinette told Alya she didn't have a crush on Adrien, she said she was simply infatuated for a few minutes when she first met him and then got over it. Of course, Alya didn't believe crap. She made Marinette admit to thinking he was extremely handsome and that his smile made her heart melt. Marinette also admitted to thinking that Adrien might have a crush on her. But she said that if he did have a crush on her, he would have had never hired her as his secretary because their relationship had to be professional.

Once again, Alya didn't believe crap.

Alya: Mari if he didn't like you or at least think you were cute, he would have never hired a girl who only knows how to make coffee

Marinette: I know how to do more but thanks

Alya: Stop dodging the point! He didn't know you knew more than coffee. It was love at first sight Mari! Admit it and kiss him!

Marinette: Alya you have to chill out

Alya: Sorry but it's been a really long time since you talked to me about a guy and he seems perfect for you

Marinette: You've never met him. I could be sugaring him up when I talk about him and he could be the biggest jerk ever and youd never know

Alya: If he was a jerk, you wouldn't have taken the job. But come on Mari! He's the vp of a fashion company. You love that stuff!

Marinette: I hate that you know me too well

Alya: I've been training for years

Marinette put her phone away once again and got bored in her desk. What did Chloe even do when she was bored? Well in the last few months, she was probably planning things for her baby. But she did say she had been by Adrien for years, so she didn't know anymore. Marinette took out the What If _ folder and decided to skip through it. It was divided into three parts: business partners, Agreste Inc., and Adrien. Marinette hadn't peeked inside the Adrien file, so she took out the papers in there.

Scenario: I think Mr. Agreste has a crush on me.

Response: You know how when a cat acts up you spray it with water? Do that. Shoot him down or ignore any flirty comments. Your relationship should only be professional and a friendship at the most. He'll get over you. His longest relationship was eight months with a super model he almost married, and he wasn't even sad after she broke off the engagement. You're probably not special.

"What are you reading there?" Adrien asked as he stood behind her chair and looked over shoulder, startling Marinette. She quickly shoved the papers back into the folder and turned in her swivel chair. She gave him a nervous smile and he raised his eyebrows at her.

Her voice was shaking as she said, "Just some tips on contacting foreign business partners."

Adrien crossed his arms and smiled, "I was just asking to see if you'd tell me the trust. I saw what you were reading."

Star: I just came back from camping, and I finished it right now. I have no idea what I'm doing with Adrien's personality at this point, and I'm scaring myself. Sometimes his inner Chat is out which was most of the time before and now I think I made him too Adrien but ion evin no. I'll blame it on the coffee.
