Marinette took a deep breath. It didn’t matter if she and Chat Noir went their separate ways after that. He was obviously hurting, and not in the right mindspace to reveal his true identity. It didn’t help the fact that she was offered an internship in America of all places, and she secured a job under Audrey Bourgeois, where she made sure that everything in her fashion magazine was properly formatted. It wasn’t… exactly what she wanted job wise, but after the Gabriel brand fell apart, Marinette didn’t know where else she’d try to get work. The pay certainly didn’t hurt, either. In truth, Marinette hardly ever got to work directly with outfits, and that was just because of a lack of inexperience. Maybe Ms. Bourgeois was sending her to Paris to get rid of her, and her failure would let her fire her at last.
She shook her head. It was not good thinking like that.
Or: Ladybug and Chat Noir parted ways four years ago after the defeat of Monarch. She still misses her partner, especially while visiting due to work. She just didn't expect he'd want to ever see her again.
