That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 417Please respect copyright.PENANA7UPcT7UtG4
417Please respect copyright.PENANAds5NC9AvpV
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.417Please respect copyright.PENANA0Bh8qLClGM
417Please respect copyright.PENANAzU4BTNszHt
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAgUHLLs3GWJ
417Please respect copyright.PENANAe3bhgLHX4X
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!417Please respect copyright.PENANAJok2aUIpCU
417Please respect copyright.PENANAxpvVrvsxtM
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANA9kivcLnHJt
417Please respect copyright.PENANALpUjDbwCAa
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANA049kvv1mjq
417Please respect copyright.PENANAqvIWyP24l6
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAY2v0ifuDKa
417Please respect copyright.PENANAXV05U1R0wY
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAU1pFX9rtEN
417Please respect copyright.PENANAa0cdun9Hhr
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.417Please respect copyright.PENANAYq0lCfsvsQ
417Please respect copyright.PENANAUuljwT0fMh
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANABd3ESK1ikk
417Please respect copyright.PENANAH2OVZg1AMY
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 417Please respect copyright.PENANAcovftmWfia
417Please respect copyright.PENANAYuCoEmwhNK
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAcGI4dCt6Fj
417Please respect copyright.PENANATCfAk4D8g9
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAvR70UFxgKU
417Please respect copyright.PENANAqFC2NOrqBY
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANA3RY5ekgNpy
417Please respect copyright.PENANAi4tgDYusWP
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAyfgtUlanQT
417Please respect copyright.PENANAi3yOHiYlUV
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANA1tt0FsK2Ty
417Please respect copyright.PENANA1dDcv4BGNl
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAymcwB8frbO
417Please respect copyright.PENANAfmgZKsOBfe
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.417Please respect copyright.PENANAGZy83jq0JR
417Please respect copyright.PENANAXAqBc5r9C2
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.417Please respect copyright.PENANAXpzPHhzv24
417Please respect copyright.PENANA9n5hrEvyxt
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.417Please respect copyright.PENANAUzAOhK9qgU
417Please respect copyright.PENANAj6W1gOo6KD
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAiaaBcFdxsI
417Please respect copyright.PENANA8SDG0fu5Us
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAi1SzBkoMF8
417Please respect copyright.PENANA2HZ5optyGe
Fucking asshole.417Please respect copyright.PENANAcpvKFK7DtN
417Please respect copyright.PENANAeFEsB4L3rL
"Let's go, Roberta!"417Please respect copyright.PENANABeQoyjbCIn
417Please respect copyright.PENANAaw3kpgY6eG
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.417Please respect copyright.PENANAlYkmJcrO7O
417Please respect copyright.PENANAFFPVT06nXE
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.417Please respect copyright.PENANArJzFP2jopH
417Please respect copyright.PENANAa5I25FwKsI
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAELu0POgTGF
417Please respect copyright.PENANA4znDnYyArS
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAVxqxoUyVTd
417Please respect copyright.PENANAIPTt3Np6hp
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."417Please respect copyright.PENANAstoe9qdKVU
417Please respect copyright.PENANA8J1gBuPCcV
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"417Please respect copyright.PENANA2i3UWALoFo
417Please respect copyright.PENANAUFi25fKQ6C
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."417Please respect copyright.PENANAqxJUpKW2h6
417Please respect copyright.PENANA9KrE5pGUXr
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"417Please respect copyright.PENANA5tojzDpkDx
417Please respect copyright.PENANAqeCXSSY8rO
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."417Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZmW7uSXdk
417Please respect copyright.PENANASHFjLob48S
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAzFRa7lw1YL
417Please respect copyright.PENANAHKO6CPGZ97
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAAY0ccF2vIA
417Please respect copyright.PENANAWjIQu3k3Hy
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAwX1GIfeR2g
417Please respect copyright.PENANAEGUODW1EjF
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"417Please respect copyright.PENANATw5eTnPUgt
417Please respect copyright.PENANA1FZr9kwayf
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAqrA4skKIdH
417Please respect copyright.PENANAheS2AsqZQw
"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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAgwK9316lGu
417Please respect copyright.PENANAShIDMgLXJd
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAki4h1td9BH
417Please respect copyright.PENANAe5TEbHTMCo
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.417Please respect copyright.PENANAjvWynzoSYw
417Please respect copyright.PENANAUJsDFAi2KS
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."417Please respect copyright.PENANAS3GJisOCDU
417Please respect copyright.PENANA13CiKEdNKu
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.417Please respect copyright.PENANAxyt7nl0SWZ
417Please respect copyright.PENANApQe7krWMH0
"The girls love it." He laughed.417Please respect copyright.PENANA7qfKjusdDr
417Please respect copyright.PENANA0dYfjbTxsJ
I blinked. "What?"417Please respect copyright.PENANAS0HnDzK6Jx
417Please respect copyright.PENANAriTaWdHW1M
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."417Please respect copyright.PENANAw41QA4sQ4j
417Please respect copyright.PENANA936YbIliY3
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"417Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZCFo5M6ER
417Please respect copyright.PENANAV8QQEu9ePA
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAQOJ1thhz2K
417Please respect copyright.PENANAc8oKikJdcD
"Ma'am?"417Please respect copyright.PENANAqxVIUOvUFE
417Please respect copyright.PENANAFljEGC44XK
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.417Please respect copyright.PENANAQFpK5T0WDg
417Please respect copyright.PENANA2fk2DQiSiH
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAiR24aGRtcD
417Please respect copyright.PENANASeezDM1fj7
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 417Please respect copyright.PENANAwaObFVvXlk
417Please respect copyright.PENANAGSiXcRBXdb
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAcMP7FboyL0
417Please respect copyright.PENANAa7LJnEPpVC
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.417Please respect copyright.PENANAEFH39lyrby
417Please respect copyright.PENANAamk18maEyX
"Beautiful hands."417Please respect copyright.PENANAy84r70ZlVN
417Please respect copyright.PENANAz99J73yHlJ
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.417Please respect copyright.PENANAWCnP1qJZXv
417Please respect copyright.PENANAKqNrUO3nDK
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAWlds0IV5ki
417Please respect copyright.PENANAL67rFiwNLa
"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."417Please respect copyright.PENANASzbFdvcS4d
417Please respect copyright.PENANAMkH3f6VQER
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."417Please respect copyright.PENANAJDk56odw6p
417Please respect copyright.PENANAhrlKo0Usxw
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."417Please respect copyright.PENANAHoE8ikAEHi
417Please respect copyright.PENANApFARZEugZ2
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.417Please respect copyright.PENANAWSAmM3rKbr
417Please respect copyright.PENANAc65uxNr0C8
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."417Please respect copyright.PENANAy6tvzU6Kqi
417Please respect copyright.PENANAph7VWT1wvs
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."417Please respect copyright.PENANAJK5Vbnfqf5
417Please respect copyright.PENANAeaRgtwgt9Z
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"417Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5HKVKapQP
417Please respect copyright.PENANAMO7VhcxupG
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."417Please respect copyright.PENANAljoZY9u7cq
417Please respect copyright.PENANAbOFQLw3YlE
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."417Please respect copyright.PENANAnTEqR7cjIN
417Please respect copyright.PENANAohfxVk4YQb
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"417Please respect copyright.PENANAEBrCDEFBnV
417Please respect copyright.PENANAsvwkEAkJzy
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."417Please respect copyright.PENANAr9KzrQ7ZIM
417Please respect copyright.PENANAOmYoLPlNeD
"And Carlos?"417Please respect copyright.PENANA68lTy7b6YJ
417Please respect copyright.PENANAlA5c4NLrNT
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.417Please respect copyright.PENANAdv3BO3RUY3
417Please respect copyright.PENANAZgjfkw5Don
"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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAfmqHJZ1Uj8
417Please respect copyright.PENANANWfr0C9OTC
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.417Please respect copyright.PENANAftIMyUAgcf
417Please respect copyright.PENANAEOhTmS1FNM
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.417Please respect copyright.PENANATEuwBTrN99
417Please respect copyright.PENANAqGDy1VAMq0
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."417Please respect copyright.PENANAXiK7CCNIxy
417Please respect copyright.PENANAc3gZPJPbod
"Curious, I guess."417Please respect copyright.PENANAmo524bjgTN
417Please respect copyright.PENANAquE15wWySG
"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."417Please respect copyright.PENANAqpYsE1x2Am
417Please respect copyright.PENANAebyH06WBG1
"Oh, I'll surprise you."417Please respect copyright.PENANAuDdG7cNDhd
417Please respect copyright.PENANAJacqltEMSX
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."417Please respect copyright.PENANAxY2p7E5Y4P
417Please respect copyright.PENANANaBtBjVafK
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"417Please respect copyright.PENANAHrScuwFXpH
417Please respect copyright.PENANAhpu31e7v3J
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."417Please respect copyright.PENANABZCJJES2nL
417Please respect copyright.PENANAUfEJnglgLB
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.417Please respect copyright.PENANALkmixtusFY
417Please respect copyright.PENANAKfkqsFn9lK
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."417Please respect copyright.PENANAy2Nd6Z5Wq3
417Please respect copyright.PENANAEiAUsW3Txm
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.417Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4UCqwwTzL
417Please respect copyright.PENANAdmezAHGB86
"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."417Please respect copyright.PENANAjdcX6gBTbY
417Please respect copyright.PENANAAFXX74hQGt
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."417Please respect copyright.PENANA7PchwpVdGO
417Please respect copyright.PENANAfKo06SJkpc
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."417Please respect copyright.PENANAGF1eXcKOZv
417Please respect copyright.PENANAFVSOpgFEvX
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAlbozyZWUS2
417Please respect copyright.PENANAHNE6Ky5QKA
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.417Please respect copyright.PENANAVq6FyIfmtn
417Please respect copyright.PENANAzwPHz399Ra
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."417Please respect copyright.PENANA4hxbn5BmF9
417Please respect copyright.PENANAOIrGlNquxI
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.417Please respect copyright.PENANAJ64aChfSlW
417Please respect copyright.PENANAr6tdLDcsgl
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."417Please respect copyright.PENANAG9yqLRAdsk
417Please respect copyright.PENANAr6N5oshmYE
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."417Please respect copyright.PENANAl01ggqTjc4
417Please respect copyright.PENANAMwU2ybD1PW
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."417Please respect copyright.PENANAQPs27ClpAB
417Please respect copyright.PENANALLamcaXsvy
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.417Please respect copyright.PENANA0qpu9cPjtY
417Please respect copyright.PENANABFEUoeK2uJ
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.417Please respect copyright.PENANAJjXFDa25av
417Please respect copyright.PENANAEiA1XqsX55
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.417Please respect copyright.PENANAB7zgagq9QC
417Please respect copyright.PENANAhwqznC8MQL
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.417Please respect copyright.PENANAUvCG6I0oBj
417Please respect copyright.PENANAtFoAmTQ72i
