That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 416Please respect copyright.PENANAxGoG0mu9nY
416Please respect copyright.PENANAVblSO4Ldkm
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.416Please respect copyright.PENANAMef6g7bySM
416Please respect copyright.PENANAhHEotH3Wdw
Each day, I was to report to Naomi no later than 6:30 AM with her specific coffee order and then was given a stack of papers to be reviewed and then filed immediately after in alphabetical order.416Please respect copyright.PENANAgMw7LEA33B
416Please respect copyright.PENANAN9wZRS7RPv
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!416Please respect copyright.PENANA2aAVC9kGum
416Please respect copyright.PENANAuF0QJSSC6Q
Naomi would toss some nasty cold sandwich at me and then instruct me that I had ten minutes to eat before I was to clean the entire top floor which I am pretty sure isn't my god damn job in this position.416Please respect copyright.PENANAuCa3Hfqrsk
416Please respect copyright.PENANAcwim3AmqAE
Most of the days lasted 12-13 hours with her barking orders at me and telling me how stupid I was if I didn't get something right immediately. She would mutter that Kalon was going to regret making me his direct assistant and I'd fuck it up on day one.416Please respect copyright.PENANAmyDlLwB4Pb
416Please respect copyright.PENANAsa1XKt9XWU
Once everything was cleaned and I had made sure that every folder was organized correctly, Naomi would briefly give me a rundown of Kalon's schedule and what I was to do and not do.416Please respect copyright.PENANAXsqrvmjzvS
416Please respect copyright.PENANAFUVUmbVPQd
Basically, I was to be a shadow. Naomi told me that Kalon goes through assistants every single month and she's the only one who has been kept around for almost a year.416Please respect copyright.PENANAaqcMunO3Sw
416Please respect copyright.PENANA3LWNGTvkOT
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.416Please respect copyright.PENANAQUXAll5ni8
416Please respect copyright.PENANALGcKTTqqv8
Of course, the business side of things looked to be run through local casinos or clubs, but just having to verify and cross-check expenses made me want to hurl when I'd come across charges in the millions.416Please respect copyright.PENANAIsFjhGM63U
416Please respect copyright.PENANAohbSCw3CoA
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 416Please respect copyright.PENANAcGxR3iKLfe
416Please respect copyright.PENANAKOJ4EDUTkp
Naomi mentioned that Kalon is a very prestigious businessman and some work is to be kept private. I tried to pry answers from her but she called told me to shut up instead.416Please respect copyright.PENANAQDrL3JIQqN
416Please respect copyright.PENANAWQEDNNniwu
I wasn't as dumb as everyone thought though. After moving in here and signing that suspicious contract it was pretty clear the Wolfe organization was doing some dirty, illegal shit and Kalon is the boss of it all.416Please respect copyright.PENANA83uaOPtpPq
416Please respect copyright.PENANAGg6VZWqNCx
I just wanted to stay focused on not doing anything to put myself in a position like Carlos who still hasn't shown his face around the estate.416Please respect copyright.PENANAVlTiiBRLKn
416Please respect copyright.PENANASH5TIB2c11
Let's just say from that entire week, the only thing I looked forward to was 6:30 pm when monster, bimbo bitch left for the night and I was able to eat some real food and sleep.416Please respect copyright.PENANAetndh7CL8x
416Please respect copyright.PENANABcM1aQjAUK
May had been kind enough to check in on me after her shifts as well. She would sit on the edge of my bed and listen to me ramble about how crazy my day was.416Please respect copyright.PENANAKvLliYjm0t
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJrmmBgoGfD
There were even times she'd let me just sit there and let the tears pour down my face. I felt like an idiot but I was so overwhelmed.416Please respect copyright.PENANAPY2gi9yunS
416Please respect copyright.PENANA5R5V21KIad
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.416Please respect copyright.PENANApp4eqZmuCm
416Please respect copyright.PENANArzQUoHlGcB
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.416Please respect copyright.PENANAXPtQ0LyE8X
416Please respect copyright.PENANA37SaUKxDcN
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.416Please respect copyright.PENANAK4tEZEfxrn
416Please respect copyright.PENANAW4m88feWNO
I really just wished I had someone my age to be around again. I was starting to miss Landon so much but he wouldn't even look at me.416Please respect copyright.PENANAgQODEtoPlX
416Please respect copyright.PENANArIhgSPhuCG
I'd see him down in the yard practicing tennis with his brother and had tried to get his attention a few times. I usually was just met with an awkward smirk and a glare from Jax who had even tossed me the bird a few times too.416Please respect copyright.PENANAcEiXUeIV1h
416Please respect copyright.PENANA9EEtFeR2xM
Fucking asshole.416Please respect copyright.PENANAJwk9uFlPEG
416Please respect copyright.PENANAjPNZoe7TbT
"Let's go, Roberta!"416Please respect copyright.PENANAta8cjpTiMY
416Please respect copyright.PENANAYIzHirTQFW
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.416Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zcjoe6X67
416Please respect copyright.PENANADggMaULQDv
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.416Please respect copyright.PENANAEFfVAcu5G9
416Please respect copyright.PENANAKanT1dS24o
Naomi's face was there as expected, already twisted into a snarl as she took me in. Her platinum hair was shockingly down for the day and she was dressed in her usual tight red dress and heels.416Please respect copyright.PENANA99pg5XDgNi
416Please respect copyright.PENANAUJmNFc7gc8
I don't know how she managed to wear those death traps every day but I guess when you are the spawn of Satan, it's easy as hell.416Please respect copyright.PENANAKlqAjRP8i2
416Please respect copyright.PENANAXEqLJ5LYQl
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."416Please respect copyright.PENANAp70gBdfsbD
416Please respect copyright.PENANACS2iH9Vssk
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"416Please respect copyright.PENANA0pD6bTVUrv
416Please respect copyright.PENANAmg9mVGoZYQ
She rolled her eyes and tapped away on her phone. "Don't you know anything? I've told you Axel is Kalon's cousin. He takes over when Kalon is out of town."416Please respect copyright.PENANAlku68QAoRk
416Please respect copyright.PENANA7L3gxWhrlJ
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"416Please respect copyright.PENANACalBFWVddr
416Please respect copyright.PENANAQPRQWduV8s
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."416Please respect copyright.PENANAm084Q8vU6i
416Please respect copyright.PENANATFC2GQgNRS
I sighed and tossed my hair up into the best ponytail I could manage as Naomi snapped her gum and clicked away on her cellphone behind me.416Please respect copyright.PENANAUEeVoFNrvH
416Please respect copyright.PENANAbPGVT0posO
When we approached the office, I realized it was cracked open and there was a distant voice on the inside who seemed to be joking around with someone on the phone.416Please respect copyright.PENANAKTl3lQdWBo
416Please respect copyright.PENANAmbW8gkLvsS
I walked up to it slowly and pressed my palm against the wood. Naomi must've grown irritated with me though because she pushed me aside and rushed in.416Please respect copyright.PENANA7mYe2mv9dG
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJmji2pvJKy
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"416Please respect copyright.PENANAyVbALuOa5u
416Please respect copyright.PENANAiTB0Wcvikb
My jaw dropped and I looked over at Naomi, waiting to see how she'd deal with him. Instead, she stuck her tongue out like a child and plopped down in her favorite chair.416Please respect copyright.PENANAyQfEVqBmW1
416Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8bEmG6pkf
"Oh, new friends?"
I entered the office and looked up to find a man I hadn't met before. He was stunning and looked a lot like Kalon, minus the excessive tattoos and muscles.416Please respect copyright.PENANAzFZeOvpxTD
416Please respect copyright.PENANA0KJ7QqJSfJ
He was tall and dressed in a sleek dark blue suit with dark hair brushing along the edges of his shoulders. He had a toothpick placed between his full lips and a smile playing on his mouth as we came closer.416Please respect copyright.PENANAaXBVlsrVFw
416Please respect copyright.PENANAnw9pZD03y4
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.416Please respect copyright.PENANA5Oh7XLRbkK
416Please respect copyright.PENANAojIYjsN8u3
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."416Please respect copyright.PENANABlZC78RXVA
416Please respect copyright.PENANAN3K9mCvBT7
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.416Please respect copyright.PENANAprPqRO5FKn
416Please respect copyright.PENANAUBY73nhQqF
"The girls love it." He laughed.416Please respect copyright.PENANANFx0Oly91R
416Please respect copyright.PENANA1wHfAeH04u
I blinked. "What?"416Please respect copyright.PENANAblVyyygUqw
416Please respect copyright.PENANALMX048fWGZ
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."416Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zf3D47KWk
416Please respect copyright.PENANAemlOsInFeG
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"416Please respect copyright.PENANA2h7Iwb374P
416Please respect copyright.PENANAsEA4uFxQcF
Just as she spoke the dark-haired girl I had met the day I met with Kalon rushed into the room like she was in trouble. Her hands clasped securely in front of her waist and her eyes on the ground.416Please respect copyright.PENANApYcOZfbvIa
416Please respect copyright.PENANAh3MJsNCkYN
"Ma'am?"416Please respect copyright.PENANAJcRLWA7H9a
416Please respect copyright.PENANANQDz8lMKqr
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.416Please respect copyright.PENANAcf8NKhbeCk
416Please respect copyright.PENANAsS1GVZWrwU
I watched in silence as the girl nodded and left immediately. Axel shook his head at the scene unfolding and hopped up onto the edge of the desk, knocking several papers out of place.416Please respect copyright.PENANAfeFeFwmfgb
416Please respect copyright.PENANASA3jw3JPhM
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 416Please respect copyright.PENANAIpk61zkoXj
416Please respect copyright.PENANAiUpnzoZiHe
Axel's hand grasped mine. "Slow down there, babe." I looked up at him confused and felt my cheeks heat up from his intense gaze.416Please respect copyright.PENANA3m99snYbCn
416Please respect copyright.PENANAe9mi7p9h6M
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.416Please respect copyright.PENANABCSc31T1I7
416Please respect copyright.PENANAwnnLREy4Dp
"Beautiful hands."416Please respect copyright.PENANAbVoArTcBB6
416Please respect copyright.PENANAesjtxeKm9Z
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.416Please respect copyright.PENANAyFd06TmYXq
416Please respect copyright.PENANAdoX7a26GuJ
Axel's eyes continued to watch me as I hurried back towards my usual spot next to Naomi so I could await her demands for the day.416Please respect copyright.PENANA16vnGCdTTs
416Please respect copyright.PENANAQbSeJ5Yj4m
"Axel, I'm leaving. This one is Roberta, Kalon wants her to be the number one apparently," She scoffed. "Don't know why considering she has been a huge disaster already."416Please respect copyright.PENANAIKogYdNptl
416Please respect copyright.PENANAPxjJmnxJjU
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."416Please respect copyright.PENANAR4p5lmglpM
416Please respect copyright.PENANAdwvdY3aPoV
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."416Please respect copyright.PENANAqdSpUo9XHi
416Please respect copyright.PENANAFl1ynaGFw6
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.416Please respect copyright.PENANAQTLOj7fhEu
416Please respect copyright.PENANA8qfOxm68uB
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."416Please respect copyright.PENANABoIxKc3N42
416Please respect copyright.PENANAzuQMEW7buu
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."416Please respect copyright.PENANAVNzQIMrsty
416Please respect copyright.PENANAYHjmflmRvQ
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"416Please respect copyright.PENANApqEdQqtXsv
416Please respect copyright.PENANAcPnz2YlcMy
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."416Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZnaGkoszg
416Please respect copyright.PENANADJeS9BVr9x
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."416Please respect copyright.PENANARW1UEMGo5H
416Please respect copyright.PENANAkC3OQy2VAE
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"416Please respect copyright.PENANAY4kS94QYnc
416Please respect copyright.PENANA9nR1E0tERM
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."416Please respect copyright.PENANAVdONzVxtcp
416Please respect copyright.PENANAO0oh5VHAB0
"And Carlos?"416Please respect copyright.PENANAyL28SaFJjS
416Please respect copyright.PENANA3udTu2UAvD
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.416Please respect copyright.PENANAXMRj4Hnqb7
416Please respect copyright.PENANAvfsnBYkC5T
"Where did he go?" I pressed. I wanted to know as much as I possibly could and Axel seemed like he might be my best bet at this point.416Please respect copyright.PENANAJXsP4u00er
416Please respect copyright.PENANAhfg11MSrhE
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.416Please respect copyright.PENANAdv3hX9r0eq
416Please respect copyright.PENANA3rm0jKYjS4
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.416Please respect copyright.PENANAka0O365LKI
416Please respect copyright.PENANABe0nKNdXTp
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."416Please respect copyright.PENANALzwyV4oFpR
416Please respect copyright.PENANAInhHEnX4xF
"Curious, I guess."416Please respect copyright.PENANAKtXVYkiHZo
416Please respect copyright.PENANAy4wWZvykQ7
"You know what they say about that," He winked and took a drink. "Wouldn't want to see a pretty face like you end up in too much trouble."416Please respect copyright.PENANAfKLQktB98x
416Please respect copyright.PENANAA9PUb3ARTh
"Oh, I'll surprise you."416Please respect copyright.PENANAXClMRq9XPB
416Please respect copyright.PENANAooZsN0LrsX
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."416Please respect copyright.PENANA9nq1mgHXwk
416Please respect copyright.PENANAYXFLEVNsQc
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"416Please respect copyright.PENANAHQXVdbROCg
416Please respect copyright.PENANABCoWPG54Uz
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."416Please respect copyright.PENANAeXjSOrWAHa
416Please respect copyright.PENANArjnu7oYFMy
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.416Please respect copyright.PENANAX4L6l3fu6N
416Please respect copyright.PENANAgIKm3C4FPn
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."416Please respect copyright.PENANAJIJLNAEydX
416Please respect copyright.PENANAPTQoaFWvPk
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.416Please respect copyright.PENANAXjxixFVdCe
416Please respect copyright.PENANA7OkKF283Yq
"That's it...I think you deserve a short day," Axel grinned and moved to sit on the edge of the desk again, our knees nearly touching."You seem like you work really hard."416Please respect copyright.PENANAGgFUdtq6wo
416Please respect copyright.PENANAaxcwQaf0tM
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."416Please respect copyright.PENANA2vVRIPLpN5
416Please respect copyright.PENANAH6MsmrcAR1
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."416Please respect copyright.PENANAweJKgWXMpF
416Please respect copyright.PENANArZu2lMtjFA
I looked up at him, staring into his eyes as our pinky's locked together like children swearing on a pact. I half-expected him to pull away quickly but instead, he locked onto my hand and pulled me closer as he leaned down.416Please respect copyright.PENANADRo0HwcA2r
416Please respect copyright.PENANAURt9AF6zrT
The distance between us was nearly non-existent now and all I could smell was the mix of alcohol and cologne on him. My chest was tightening and all I could think of was my first meeting with Kalon.416Please respect copyright.PENANAmIpvUqtupE
416Please respect copyright.PENANAW037GwtZ98
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."416Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z1MKA43qp
416Please respect copyright.PENANAfn0obX2Eob
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.416Please respect copyright.PENANADczyiVt0RI
416Please respect copyright.PENANAB95HaP32iU
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."416Please respect copyright.PENANAZB0ioy2pNf
416Please respect copyright.PENANAS2OHZ1vwN7
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."416Please respect copyright.PENANA0X2qpjE3nJ
416Please respect copyright.PENANAeC5Al9IxYf
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."416Please respect copyright.PENANA34pP4vTczn
416Please respect copyright.PENANA0hjBRRjVRO
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.416Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ2IdILtKV
416Please respect copyright.PENANABknyrxeJEG
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.416Please respect copyright.PENANA7lCo1EzQ8Y
416Please respect copyright.PENANALpEoGxrjKQ
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.416Please respect copyright.PENANAHi0PEDwtFj
416Please respect copyright.PENANAP7srDOMMtJ
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.416Please respect copyright.PENANAVXuBaRByxY
416Please respect copyright.PENANARld9kGflOX
