Lila smiled as she walked into work. She had been hired to work at ZAHR, one of the best fashion stores in Paris. She had lied her way through the interview and had slept with half the workers before she was even hired. All she had to do was tell them to keep it a secret so that if she was hired, it wouldn't be suspected.

She was already finding great hiding spots and it would be easy to pawn off clothes from those storage spaces. Her life was great, until the day Marinette re-entered her life.

Lila had smiled when she heard the door chime.

'Another sucker.'

"Welcome to-" she started, but froze when she saw her old victim: Marinette Dupain-Cheng.



Marinette's hair had gotten longer and was braided down her back, she still had her old figure, she had gotten a bit taller, but the one thing she noticed was she was wearing ZAHR fashion from head to toe.

"Where is the manager and HR rep?" Marinette shouted.

"They're not in today." spoke the lead supervisor.

"Call them in and tell them I said it was an emergency." Mari demanded.

Lila's mood was instantly soured by Marinette's power over everyone.

"Hey, what-" she asked.

"Not now!" one employee hissed.

"Wait, what-" she tied to as, but was shushed in response.

'Why will no one tell me what is going on!'



Lila grabbed her bag and sneered at the front of the store. She placed it on her shoulder and walked to the back of the warehouse. She placed her hand on the backdoor handle and was ready to leave when someone whispered, "What are you doing?"

She turned to see one of the sweeter guys she knew at the store.

"Oh," she sighed, "I was just gonna take a break. My head-"

"Right now!" they questioned, "Are you crazy? You're going to get fired if you do!"

"What?" she whispered, worriedly, taking her hand off the door.

"My beauty, trust me." he whispered, kissing her on the cheek quickly, before walking away.

Lila frowned as she set her bag down. She decided to just look busy and keep her distance from Marinette.




"Why is Lila Rossi employed in my store?" Marinette questioned, as the two employees walked in the door.

"What?" asked the manager and hiring representative, glancing over at Lila.

"Miss Rossi?" asked the manager, "She had so many glowing recommendations."

"I'm sure she did" Mari responded, rolling her eyes, "but did you call every number?"

"Gabriel Agreste and Audrey Bourgeois were busy with fashion week. Adrien Agreste is-" the hiring rep began to explain.

"That's a no." Marinette interrupted, rubbing her forehead, "Lila Rossi was fired from being a model at Gabriel for sexually harassing Adrien Agreste. That alone would not have permitted her entrance to a job. She has never worked for Audrey and Chloe can't stand her. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Next time, do your job or I'll hire someone else!"
