Serena's Pov

“What job might that be?” I asked, out of curiosity, seeing as he was taking his time to speak further.

“Hmm. "I see you're quite interested, even more than I thought,” he spoke, with a smirk.

That was sort of humiliating, but I tried my best to stay calm and act like he said nothing of such.

“Wasn’t it expected of me to ask?”

“Hmm. "You're right. "I just needed to find out if you might have a little interest in it, at least.” He responded, then leaned to the comfort of his executive chair.

“Well, you have your answer now.”

“Alright. So, like I said, I think you are fit for the task, which I see as the first step towards you getting back at your ex-husband. "But the question is, are you ready to do it regardless?” Adrien asked, tapping his fingers on the table.

I looked within myself for a minute and when I raised my head, I looked into his eyes, searching for the explanation he was yet to give.

“Sorry. "Did I make the atmosphere tense?” he asked, sarcastically.

That was it.

If he continued to do or say things that annoyed me, I was just going to have to leave and maybe never consider working with him again.

All of a sudden, he got up to his feet and walked up to me with his arms folded.

We'll be going on a few-day trip to Paris and this is to meet with some businessmen in the fashion line. How well you do will decide how you progress and, trust me, there are some more benefits to this.

I sighed and thought deeply about it. Any proposal from Adrien was obviously going to be the best, so there was no need for me to think twice about it. I just needed to destroy Killian and Samantha for the wickedness they showed me.

“Okay, I'm in.” I spoke, ready for whatever was going to happen.

“Good. But on one condition.”

Adrien's Pov

The next day, I woke up really early, especially because I had not done any packing, and I would need time for that.

I got up from bed, brushed my teeth and walked back to my room, then started packing up clothes and other things that I would need once it was time for us to leave.

After packing up everything, I stepped back into the bathroom naked and had my bath as quickly as possible, then rubbed myself dry and put on new clothes.

“Alright, I'm all set,” I said as I looked at my hairstyle in the mirror, then picked up my bag and stepped out of the room.

As I stepped out, and walked down the stairs to the living room, I met Serena sitting. She was all prepared and that was quite unexpected. I was already thinking that I would have to be the one hurrying her up.

“Wow. "You surprised me.” I said to her and gave her a morning hug.

She smiled as she withdrew from me.

“Well, I hope you like the surprise.” She chuckled as she picked up her bag.

“Certainly. Are you ready?”

“Yes, I am.” She responded calmly.

Then I called the attention of a few maids and instructed them to carry the bags and take them to the car, which they did before we settled in the car.

“Now, you can start the car.” I urged the driver, and he bowed a little before he started the car.

“Is your P. A not coming along?”

“He is. But separately, as he has something to take care of first,” I replied her.

“Oh, I see. Alright then.”

I leaned back in the car seat and relaxed until we got to the airport where we had to wait until it was time to get onto the plane.

I could tell Serena was very excited about the way she looked around and smiled sweetly. It was really a nice time for her as she kept staring at the window side.

Well, I wasn't making her sad in any way, so I'm glad she's happy.

After a few hours, our plane landed in Paris, and we took hold of our luggage. As we stood at the entrance of the airport, waiting for the car that we had booked, I sighted a woman who was selling flowers, so I walked up to her.

“I'll take this one.”

“Merci.” She responded with a smile and handed the flower to me.

I walked back to Serena, whose cheeks were red already from seeing me bring the flowers to her.

“This is for you darling. I hope we have a lovely time in Paris in the aspects of work and other things.”

“I hope so too.” She said with a smile, and received the flowers from me. “Thank you.”

Just then, our car arrived, and we got in with our luggage put in the trunk.

“We should try out one of their restaurants before going to the hotel I reserved for us.” I suggested to her, and she nodded with a bright smile.

“Please take us to a nice restaurant you know here.”

“Alright, sir.” The driver responded.

I hung my arm over Serena's shoulder while the driver drove us, and we began to talk about different interesting things, especially things that we anticipated on this business trip.

Soon, we got to the restaurant, and the driver agreed to wait for us for a long time.

We stepped into the restaurant, and headed down to the last seat, then sat down.

“So, what would you like to order?” I asked her, feeling delighted.

We had a nice time at the restaurant and the driver also did well by playing us a nice song until we got to the hotel reserved for us.

On getting to the hotel, we dropped our things in the right places and Serena arranged the clothes in the wardrobe.

Everything was set already and for an afternoon, the breeze was really nice after checking the balcony.

“We can still go to the restaurant that we went to this afternoon, probably in the evening,” I suggested to her.

“Yeah, sure we can. "It's not a bad restaurant, and it has this calm view and all.” Serena replied to me and stepped into the bathroom.

The thought of her being naked made me really turned on, and I wanted nothing but to have her, or I would keep on feeling disturbed.

“Adrien, come on. "Let her rest a little while since she got here.” I said to myself, hoping that I would actually be able to take that advice.
