(3rd person pov)

Marinette's eyes widened when she heard Nathalie ask if she wanted to be Felix's secretary, out of everyone in this company, FELIX AGRESTE? She hesitates in giving an answer at first, but technically she did say she would take on any job she was offered so.. "I would love to work for Mr. Agreste's son Nathalie!" Marinette says to Nathalie with a fake smile on her face, her gut twists with nervousness.

"Excellent Ms. Dupain-Cheng." she says, Marinette shakes her hand hesitantly with a grinned expression on her face. "You will start Monday, work starts at 7:30 am, breakfast is served 6:30-7:15 am, lunch break is at 12:30, the cafeteria is located on the 2nd floor." Nathalie starts informing her about the work schedule. Marinette nods and has a sheepish smile, she tries to repeat everything Nathalie just said in her head over and over so she doesn't look stupid on her first day of work.

"Ms. Dupain-Cheng, before you leave the building make sure to stop at the front desk to pick up your employee badge, it should almost be printed." she says to Marinette, she nods and heads out. "Thank you Nathalie, have a great rest of your day." as she walks out the office door.

She walks to the elevator and presses the first floor, the elevator door starts closing, but a hand gets in the way before it can fully close. A man walks into the elevator, Marinette looks him up and down. He's tall, he has dark hair, light brown eyes, and a dark suit with a bright blue tie. "What floor?" Marinette asks, "Floor 2." he responds.

She clicks floor 2, "Hi, I'm Marinette Dupain-Cheng!" she says politely, trying to make small talk. "Hey! I'm Nino Lahiffe, i'm the technical designer here, are you new to the Agreste company by chance?" he says cheerfully, "Oh yes! I just got hired, i'm working as Felix Agreste's secretary." she says to him. Nino's face twist with confusion and fear.

"Felix?! You're Felix's secretary? He's never had one before," he says with a confused look on his face, Marinette raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Why not? Isn't he the president of the company?" she questions Nino. "Well yeah. I always assumed Nathalie was his assistant if i'm being honest." Nino shrugged.

The elevator dings for Nino to get off. He sighs, "Alright, nice to meet you Marinette! See you soon!". Nino gets off and Marinette just sits there with a shocked expression on her face, has Felix never had an assistant? She was getting more nervous until the elevator ding took her out of a panicked state.

She makes her way to the front desk, "Hello, My name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Nathalie sent me down here to get my employees badge." she says to the secretary working. "Okay Ms. Dupain-Cheng," she looks around the desk and picks up a lanyard that was laying next to the printer. "Here you go, we will see you Monday!" she says to Marinette.

She takes the lanyard from the secretary and slowly starts walking out of the building, it was now 15:50. She takes in the sights of Paris, she sees people eating Andres ice cream, laughing, and she feels the warm breeze of the lovely spring day.

(felix's office , 3rd person pov)

Felix sits at his desk, papers sprawled all over his desk, he has a migraine from all the stress he's being put under right now.

"Felix?" Nathalie says, standing outside of his office door. "May I come in?" she asks politely, trying not to annoy him. "Yes Nathalie, you may." he replies, looking up from the document he was reading. "Mr. Agreste and I agreed that you need a secretary, now I know you're not going to agree with this decision but your father told-" she was interrupted with Felix slamming down his pen.

"Nathalie how many times have I told you AND father about the secretary situation? I have told you multiple times I DO NOT need a secretary, I'm sick of you trying to control my life!" Felix starts raising his voice.

"Felix, it has already been decided, she will be starting here Monday." she says, and turns to leave.

Felix takes a deep sigh, "I'm so tired of them controlling me, why can't they ever ask me before making decisions about my work?" he says to himself.
