Natalie goes to talk to Adrien. She finds him still in his room.
"Adrien, the girls agree to come to dinner!" Natalie remarks.
"Wow, thanks Natalie!" Adrien says. He grins big. He prepares for dinner. He puts his disguise on once more. He makes sure to use an extra set of gloves (as he bought four pairs of gloves, one was left in the dungeon, so now he has three sets of gloves left).
"I am not sure when, but one day I will tell Marinette everything!" Adrien says.
"I am just not sure I am ready to tell her yet." Adrien says.
"Whatever you say, boss! I support you!" Natalie says.
"Thanks, Natalie!" Adrien says.
"Oh, and the meal will be ready right at 6 pm!" Natalie remarks.
"Okay, thanks!" Adrien says. He can not believe it. Marinette and Alix will join them for the meal after all. He smiles.
Natalie leaves the room once more.
Meanwhile, Marinette turns to Alix. "So, Alix what dress will you wear tonight?" Marinette ask.
"Dress? Why?" Alix ask.
"Well, Natalie did say to dress nice." Marinette remarks.
"Okay, then in that case, I will go change." Alix says. She goes into the bathroom. She puts on some makeup, does her hair a bit different than usual, selects a red dress, with shoes to match and a simple gold chain necklace.
"Well, what do you think?" Alix ask as she exits the bathroom.

"Wow, Alix that looks really nice!" Marinette says.
"Thanks, bestie! Now it is your turn!" Alix says.
Marinette steps into the bathroom next to get ready. She feels so awkward. She lets her hair down, puts on cute hair band that almost looks a crown on, adds just a little makeup, and slips into the slip, and the little aqua, or turquoise long dress. It is sleeveless,yet still seems to fit her well. It certainly matches her eyes, complexion well in the mirror.
She comes out as soon as she is done. "Well , what about me?" Marinette says.
Alix smirks. She teases her, "Oh, wow! I thought you said you were not into impressing anyone!"

"Alix, I am not. This is just one of the few dresses I own." Marinette says.
"Sure, whatever you say! You rock girl!" Alix says.
The girls head towards the area where the meal is to be served. Natalie smiles when she seems them. "Well, done girls! Oh, and the supper will be here soon. Adrien should be here shortly as well." Natalie says.
Adrien arrives a few minutes later. He sees the ladies. He blinks twice in surprise at how nice they both look. "Wow, you ladies both look great!" Adrien says.
"Thanks, boss!" Alix says in a flirty manner.
"Yes, th-thanks, Adrien!" Marinette says. She feels embarrassed that Alix is such a flirt.
"Here, let me get that for you!" Adrien says. He pulls out a chair first for Alix, then Natalie and finally for Marinette.
"Thanks, so much!" Alix gushes.
"Thanks, again, Adrien!" Marinette says.
"Wow, Marinette who knew our boss was such a gentleman!" Alix remarks.
"It is a pleasure to have both of you join us tonight." Adrien says. He glances over at Marinette.
"Yes, well such a cute gentlemen like you should have company more often." Alix says.
Marinette clears her thoart. She smiles, when Natalie hands her a cup of water. She sips it slowly.
Soon the cook, brings out the food. Only Alix, continues to flirt with Adrien.
"So, how is it with being so cute and all you are still single?" Alix says. She notices the look of annoyance Marinette gives her.
Adrien does not seem to notice how flirtatious Alix is at all. He just winks at Marinette.
Marinette just sits there in amazement. She always knew Alix was a flirt, but never thought she would stoop, so low as to flirt with the man who is their boss. Why the very thought makes her feel awkward as if she might even throw up. She tries hard not to squirm in her chair.
"Well, uh, I guess you could say there is only one girl I have an interest in right now." Adrien remarks as he stares at Marinette.
"Oh, is that a fact?" Alix says as she leans in rather close to his face.
"Alix!" Marinette says. She is had enough of the this whole misbehavior from her best friend.
Alix just ignores her and bats her eyes at Adrien. Adrien looks uncomfortable.
"Alix, can you not see how uncomfortable you make him feel?" Marinette says. She does not wait for an answer. She just pushes her chair away from the table, stands up and walks away. She does not stop. She leaves the room and continues to walk away.
Adrien gets up from the table as well. Alix and Natalie remain as they are in their chairs.
As Marinette walks around in the hallway, Adrien follows her. He frowns a bit. Then decides to speak up.
"Marinette, wait!" Adrien calls out!
