"I did what I had to." He began "I had to protect you from trouble, I had to protect 'us' from the public, and I had to protect my family...from everything."

"Well-..."

"Don't interrupt Nathalie!" Gabriel spat, all of a sudden behaving aggressively "Instead take a seat on that chair, because this will be a long explication!"

"Fine." She agreed, sitting down, yet feeling very hesitant of her current situation because Nathalie didn't know if her boss would tell her the truth, or if he would fool her with one of his many tricks.

Yet it was needless to say that the assistant still placed some of her trust in him, and so, she was about to believe everything which was gonna come out of the grey haired man's mouth.

"Explain sir..." Nathalie broke their silence "...what happened to me?"

"Well-...a lot." He sighed "But I'll start from the very beginning to make sure you won't be confused, alright?"

"Alright."

"Okay so-...you see I was happily married with Emilie-...or at least it seemed like that-"

~

"Gabriel what the fuck! Y-you seriously can't  be sleeping with different women everyday whilst completely ignoring the fact that we're married and have a child together!" Emilie screamed as she had once again found her husband lying totally wasted on their bed.
His white shirt, which was barely on him, covered with an uncountable amount of lipstick stains. His hair an absolute mess, and his face in general looking so exhausted that the designer could only shake his head 'no'.
However he couldn't properly respond.

"Oh look at you! So disgusting that you come home every night looking like 'that'! At least try to make yourself appear 'presentable' before our toddler, because I wouldn't want my Adrien to think that his father is some sort of a dirty slut, though realistically he is!"

"Okay enough!" The blond haired man screamed back "Stop it Em! You know that I don't do this because I like it! I'm simply trying to get a better position at Audrey's so she'll pay me more and so that we can live better. I'm doing this for...us!"

"Still. Even if you are-...and even if you still love me-"

"Of course I do!-" Gabriel jumped to his feet as soon as he heard his wife sobbing.
Without hesitation he ran over to her and pulled Emilie right into his arms. "Of course I still love you Em, I absolutely adore you!"

"Well then find yourself a better job than being a fucking prostitute because I can no longer live like this!" The blond woman yelled before slapping her husband and breaking away from his arms.

Suddenly the man felt incredibly broken and hurt, in fact he even felt angry at himself.
It was all his fault that his wife was mad at him, it was also his fault that he made her cry, and that he made their marriage so mistakes.

Nevertheless Gabriel tried to argue, but he didn't have time, he couldn't grab Emilie's wrist, he couldn't pull her back.
So his wife was totally out of his control, and she took great advantage of that.

"But I-"

"No Gabriel!" Emilie shouted loudly "I don't care that doing whatever filthy thing your doing is just a 'job' and it means nothing, I still feel betrayed and even hurt b-because I-I d-don't know if you're lying or not! I-I d-don't know if you love me anymore! I don't know if you like me better than those whores you're constantly with!"

"Emilie I-...I love you so fucking much. I would want to be with you all day and our son b-but-...I'm sorry, you know I need this job, it's the only way-"

"Pathetic!" She screamed, slapping him again, even harder this time so that her hand left behind a red mark on his cheek "You're just a low life! I should've never married you and should've definitely not had a child with you!!"

With that the woman gave one last disgusted glare to her husband, and then slammed the door shut as she left.

~

"-so you see Nathalie life wasn't exactly great for me back then." The designer said as he brought his assistant back into reality by ending his story.
However the dark haired woman still looked quite shocked and puzzled as she was trying to comprehend all of this new information.

"I-...wow. I don't remember any of that sir." She said looking up, straight into the eyes of her superior, who with a smile nodded:

"Yes I know Nath. You're not meant to. And there's so much more that you don't know yet! It's kind of exciting for me to tell!"

"Well sir then don't hold back" Nathalie smiled "I want to know it all."

"Of course of course. So...back to the story...you and Emilie used to be great friends however~

~

"Nathalie!!" A desperate shout came from the blond woman who was running down the stairs to grab onto the wrist of her good friend as she was heading to the kitchen.

"Hello miss." The assistant greeted with a quiet voice "Can I help you in any way?"

"No, not really Nath. I just hope you're okay."

"Well of course I am. Why would I not be?" The dark haired woman asked but Emilie did not answer.
She simply looked at the floor and shrugged.

"I know what's been going on...I know all about it."

"Pardon miss?" The assistant turned to her friend "I don't quite understand."

"Right." She laughed in return making Nathalie feel a bit concerned "obviously you couldn't understand!"

"What-"

"Nathalie!!" The blond woman yelled out of absolutely nowhere, making her friend not only jump but also gasp from a sudden state of shock.
This was all new to her, and Nathalie didn't at all like angry Emilie. In fact she feared that furious woman right now, like never before.
"Nathalie I know that you and my husband do things together in the office!"

"Yes indeed ma'am. We work."

"Work my ass!" She yelled on "You two fuck! Constantly!"

"I-...I beg your pardon b-but how do y-you know that?!?!"

"How would I not?!? It's pretty damn obvious Nath!! You moan, he moans, I can hear everything!! And that's also why me and Adrien always go outside, because I wouldn't want my baby to hear that kind of stuff! It's rather disgusting really!" she sighed, gave one last look to the assistant before pulling her hand away from Nathalie's shoulder and walking away as if nothing would've ever happened.

However the incredible amount of guilt inside the assistant caused so much pain to her.

It felt horrible to know that her and Gabriel's little 'affair' secret was out, and Nathalie couldn't even properly apologize, all she could do was whisper:

"I-...I'm so sorry ma'am."
