I walked down the hallway and got into the elevator and headed up 2 floors. I know this sounds crazy but his office takes up a whole floor. after a minute the elevator stopped and the door opened. I was greeted by non other than the Chloe bourgeois. she was the Brattiest girl in the whole city. she was Adrian's assistant, but it wasn't his Choice, Chloe's father is the mayor and a close family friend. "ugh it's just you yuck " she said and stuck her tongue out and walked away "not in the mood for your crap Chloe! " I had yelled at her.... I hadn't yelled at anyone in years "oh my god Chloe I'm so sorry.... " she looked back at me "no biggie just don't do it again! " ugh I hate her. I know I'm not supposed to hate people but it's hard not to hate her

"Chloe back down! " I yelled at Chloe, she gave me a stuck up look and sat her desk "are you ready marinette?.. " I looked at marinette. she was standing in front of the elevator "yes sir " she said with a small smile " please call me Adrian"

she blushed which was adorable "wait where are you going with.... her" Chloe said sounding disgusted. "marinette is staying with me right now, you can go home when you finish that paper work" I walked into the elevator with marinette and went down to the bottom floor. we walked out to my car. I looked over at marinette when we got to the car, her mouth was wide open.

we stopped at a bright green corvette " wow that's a gorgeous car " he laughed and opened my door "thank you " I got in and looked around. the car was clean and smelled new "is this new? " I asked "no it's just my first time driving it " he said as he got into the car and put his seat belt on "how many cars do you have?! " I asked and put my belt on "like 6 ... I think " he said so casually "are you kidding me you act like that's normal.... I don't even have one car"

he looked down and then started the car "I'm sorry... this is just all I've ever known..." he said and looked sad which made my heart break a little "yea that's right your dad was a billionaire and you inherited his money and business when he pa-... uh yea you know that.. sorry" I stopped myself from saying it and put my hands in my lap "no it's ok really I've got to talk about if I wanna get over it right? " he said and started out of the parking lot "right... " it was a quiet ride to his house.

after a about 30 minutes he turned down a long drive way and just then I caught a glimpse of this huge mansion "a mansion? holy cow!.... oops sorry haha " he looked at me and parked the car "it's ok I'm used to it " Adrian got out of the car and grabbed my bags then opened my door "thank you Adrian" I smiled and looked around at the flowers "wow this is gorgeous " he closed the car door "thank you my mother planted these years ago" that's right his mom died about 3 years before his dad did "well shall we"

I walked up to the door and opened it for her "thank you " she smiled and walked in "wow it's so nice in here " she smiled and looked around "well I'll show you to your room " I grabbed her hand and lead her up the stairs and went to the spare bedroom " ok here you go this is officially your room" I opened the door and let her go in "wow this is huge and that bed wow" she walked around the room and went to the closet " oh who's clothes are these? "she asked " oh they were my mom's, she loved to model my dad's clothes, but um you can wear them if you want.. " she smiled and looked through the clothes "the clothes are gorgeous but I couldn't do that " she walked over and sat on the bed "well if you change your mind they'll always be there" I put her bags down and went to the door "if you need anything I'm just down the hallway" she smiled and said thank you then I headed off to my bed room
