Adrien's POV:
     "I will take care of it."

    "What?"

   "It is the proper thing to do."

   Ladybug's  POV:
      Ladybug shakes her head in protest.  She does not get why he insists he pays for them both when they are not dating.  She knows he means nothing to her.  Good thing too, as it would complicate things. Besides, she never mixes business with pleasure. 

     Adrien smiles at her.  "Ready?"

    Ladybug nods her head.

    Adrien and Ladybug exit together.  The whole time Ladybug is not sure what to make of what just took place.  It was awkward knowing Alya was there watching their every move.

      "I am sorry, Adrien."

     "Sorry, about what LB?"

     "Alya was spying on us. I am not so sure she did not take photos."

       "It is fine."

     "No, it makes us look like a couple. We are not. We are business partners."

      "Yes, p-partners."

       "See you."

"Y-yes,s-see y-you."  He mutters.

 Ladybug's  POV:
    Ladybug goes home. She has no idea about Adrien's crush on her.

      "It is obvious the boy needs more friends."

        She smiles.  She thinks perhaps I could be his friend. Then, she frowns.  "No, he is practically my boss for Pete's sake."

      She goes to her room and removes her mask. Then, she changes into some none ladybugish clothes.

      Marinette's POV:

       Marinette thinks good thing he does not know it is me.

      She feels bad for the boy.  He is ever so kind to her. 

        She does not know how much longer she can continue to do her job.

       "Well, I suppose I can manage for the rest of this year. How hard can it be?"

        "He is adorable when his dimples seem to move in the wind."

        Adrien's POV:

         "Ladybug is an  amazing person."

         He keeps his opinions mostly to himself.

        What will he do if his father finds out?

        He smiles.

       Marinette's  POV:      

      The next day, Marinette gets ready early for her job.  She takes a look in the mirror.

      She wears her red skirt with black spots, red leggings, red slip on's, and a bright red t-shirt with a ladybug photo on it.  She completes the look with pigtails and a red ribbon that has black spots on it.  She wears the black wrist band her uncle gave her a few years ago.

      Now, all set, she puts on a little makeup.  She smiles at her reflection.

      This time she wears a mask that only goes over her eyes. It is red with ladybugs on it.

        "Time for work, yep."

     Ladybug's  POV:
        Now, Marinette arrives at the studio in more than enough time. She gives the name Ladybug to the doorman.

      "Ah, yes, go on ahead, Miss Ladybug."

     The doorman hands her a cookie.

    She takes a bite out of it as she walks towards Adrien's dressing room.

     "Adrien, you decent?  It is me, Ladybug."

    She shows more courage than she feels at the moment.  Glad for the disguise once again since she first found out she was working alongside Adrien Agreste.  It would have been impossible to handle it as herself.

       Adrien's  POV:      
        "Hi, L-Ladybug!  Y-you are e-early, do come in pl-please."

      He does not look up as he speaks.

      The hairstylist just finished up trimming his bangs and styling his hair.

        He pays no attention to the salonist quick exit as Ladybug enters the room.

          Ladybug's  POV:

       "The usual, or do I need to add a dab of  color to your cheeks this time?"

        She notices he looks a bit washed out.

       She thinks maybe it is because when he is outside he is in the shade all the time or has someone hold an umbrella over him to block the sun's rays.

          "A dab of color, sounds n-nice, Miss L-Ladybug."

        "Alrighty, then, Adrien."

      She puts foundation on him, then rubs it in with the brush, adds some eyeliner, leaves off the mascara this time as it just globs up too much on him. She adds a bit of color to his cheeks with the pink blush. 

      Then, adds a bit of concealer to keep it from looking too bright.

      "There, all done."

    Vincent's  POV:
      "Adrien, time for the swim wear shots."

       "I will be right there, Vincent."

       Ladybug hugs Adrien. Then, pulls away.

      "Uh, break a leg."

     "Thanks."

       Vincent smirks as Ladybug winks at Adrien. He gets several pictures of Adrien in the latest Gabriel Agreste swim line.  If he did not know any better the pink on Ladybug's cheeks just got deeper.

         "Hmm, your father wants a few more people in the shot."

       "I know how about you get her to join us."
