Marinette's POV:

"Great, another day of not finding a job!".

I go by the corners of the Eiffel Tower and opened my umbrella to keep myself warm. Then, a man started walking torwards me:

"Hello there young lady, are you searching for a job?" The strange man told me.

I rubbed my eyes a bit but enthusiastically said: "Yeah! I actually am!"

"Well young lady, come and follow me." The man said before walking away

||"Wait......am I supposed to follow strangers at night?"|| I thought to myself: ||"Eh, does it matter? I'm poor anyway, might as well die.."||

He lead me to a big mansion and went inside. At first I was too scared to come inside. But, then again, I've never been to a mansion before. Heck, I've never seen a mansion before! I went inside and saw a line of 3 girls who all looked like middle class students ||"I guess he's into cute girls..."||. I stood in the line next to them

"Alright ladies, come up!" The strange man told us as he pointed to the stage: "One by one."

The first girl stood on top of the stage: "Hi, my name is Chloe. I'm a cute blonde and I DESERVE to be-" the blonde said before getting interrupted by the man: "NEXT!"

The girl stomped away.

The next girl came in. She was an ombré haired girl who wore glasses "Hiya! My name is Alya. I've been looking for a job and I've always wanted to work in a mansion!"

"Alright, let's see what you've got" the strange man said. "This is the ONLY test by the way girls. Lucky you. Anyway, start chopping that wooden stump over there."

The ombré haired girl tried to chop it. But she just couldn't. The man shook his head: "NEXT!". She walked away from the stage in a sad-slouching position

The 3rd girl came up the stage. She has the weirdest hairstyle. She looked Italian and was a brunette.

"Hi am Lila. And I'm the ideal helper! I'm gorgeous, slim, and strong!". "I like your enthusiasm Mrs. Lila, but tell me if you can remove that stump over there." The man said.

"Mhmm, okay I will. But first, can you tell us all your name?" The brunette said in a demanding and annoying voice.

"I'll only tell you my name once you get rid of that stump!" The scary man yelled

"Alright old man!" The annoying brunette yelled

She tried to remove the stump but failed even more miserably than the ombré haired girl.

"Ugh! This is stupid!" The brunette said before stomping away with a few tears in her eyes

And finally, it was me. "U-u-u-uh hi....my name is Marinette and I have no idea how I'll describe myse-" I said before getting interrupted by the scary glare in his eyes: "Uh okay I'll start removing the stump now."

I tried to chop it but I couldn't. "NEXT!" The scary man yelled. "W-WAIT! PLEASE! GIVE ME ONE MORE SHOT!" I yelled. "Alright. ONLY 1!" The scary man yelled back.

I closed my eyes and remembered all the times that I got rejected without getting my diploma. I felt a little tear roll down my eye as I readied my axe and CHOP! The stomp was gone! The old man widened his eyes and smiled: "Come."

I saw the blonde run away crying and only the ombré haired girl was left. She gave me a thumbs up and winked at me. I waved as I followed the scary man.

"My name is Gabriel Agreste and I've been trying to find a strong servant for him. My son's strength was determined by a stump. I've tried and tried but failed. I thought I'd fail again but you still somehow remove it. Now, my son is very strong and quite a rebel. I need you to keep him in order while I'll be gone for a year. Now don't think about stealing my stuff. There are security cameras everywhere. If you need help, ask my personal assistant, Natalie. I'll be leaving the first thing in the morning tomorrow."

"Yes sir, Gabriel sir." I said to the man

"Now, your room is here." He pointed to the room next to him. "Goodnight. This will be the last that you will be seeing of me until 1 year has passed." My boss said

"Goodnight sir" I said to him

Adrien's POV:

My dad came inside my room and told me:

"Hello son. I've found a maid for you. She'll be looking after you for 1 year. You'll be meeting her tomorrow morning. She'll be coming with you to school on Monday."

"Doubt she'll ever match my strength." I murmured under my breath

"Don't speak too soon son. She's surprisingly strong." My father said

I stayed quiet

"Goodnight son. I'll see you after a year." He said before closing the door.

I went to bed, trying to hide my tears. Man am I going to miss my father and hate this girl.
