That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 326Please respect copyright.PENANAjwBPBgGNF6
326Please respect copyright.PENANAytNnjBTKzv
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.326Please respect copyright.PENANAXv4rcVzV9c
326Please respect copyright.PENANAqw5bM8x0Gf
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAfGNSpeRlEX
326Please respect copyright.PENANAHFSxVjxBec
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!326Please respect copyright.PENANA6zuuHnM9pm
326Please respect copyright.PENANA1uusd906uU
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANASCIm731sB1
326Please respect copyright.PENANAfcRqXqlnEr
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANA5r0xfHTLyv
326Please respect copyright.PENANA0KVIPwgrgU
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANANoEDkj222N
326Please respect copyright.PENANA1cNYLPi9UN
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANA55b4wD5Ks6
326Please respect copyright.PENANAZhQia7Xcij
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.326Please respect copyright.PENANAsyZQlxw2eG
326Please respect copyright.PENANANxCTgxvXfT
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAVxmQ1bAOQ0
326Please respect copyright.PENANAAFRc4HtOEG
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 326Please respect copyright.PENANA2jQSpD0pfG
326Please respect copyright.PENANAZircnLrEkQ
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAWqt5YMCDTa
326Please respect copyright.PENANAXABJj1k1Vg
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAKyj9ZjjHx0
326Please respect copyright.PENANAYxvVJWqEHq
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAYxaUqR5Y46
326Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Jtvm39a5
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAuEl594JMCH
326Please respect copyright.PENANAN8VBYFKSGK
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAEbnXqT8dIp
326Please respect copyright.PENANAYCl8hTD8Zy
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAuPPZK1loOT
326Please respect copyright.PENANA3UmnUNb8sY
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.326Please respect copyright.PENANAr6pPmAvEOE
326Please respect copyright.PENANAeCNooyf7TI
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.326Please respect copyright.PENANAw5eVt6SVZz
326Please respect copyright.PENANAvBRe6OHRFj
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.326Please respect copyright.PENANAdPcOIxYyAs
326Please respect copyright.PENANAm4l1eI2OxQ
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANA6L7G3qqDZG
326Please respect copyright.PENANA1Xkxdcxado
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAbdOyDVwC2z
326Please respect copyright.PENANA5uTbS1Qktq
Fucking asshole.326Please respect copyright.PENANA0vKTkLwUzZ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAb8V7EhRNz3
"Let's go, Roberta!"326Please respect copyright.PENANAz601bV5dAC
326Please respect copyright.PENANAZm9h8n7d6R
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.326Please respect copyright.PENANAmqlZeBUkRu
326Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZLcdLXdTT
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.326Please respect copyright.PENANAgATmmQVrOM
326Please respect copyright.PENANAR5ZTVElnH6
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANA5Dmn1QFug8
326Please respect copyright.PENANAO768JwFkMV
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANA6hkKMXq8ge
326Please respect copyright.PENANA6YVa4e7U7l
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."326Please respect copyright.PENANAH71vnkuPZB
326Please respect copyright.PENANAJmzkECjOKY
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"326Please respect copyright.PENANAmJsV0CV8IJ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAMYJTxWfuFb
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."326Please respect copyright.PENANAapUpW8wStl
326Please respect copyright.PENANA8CnrmeHaOs
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"326Please respect copyright.PENANACJ3cJ0eXKE
326Please respect copyright.PENANAltgB3rfn4X
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."326Please respect copyright.PENANAx37PwxPD4y
326Please respect copyright.PENANANXWWoDX6g6
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAZCAXX6j2ig
326Please respect copyright.PENANAroc35TQeEv
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAdgFWj2NGV8
326Please respect copyright.PENANAUKKNOkbqnk
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAMerIzVI6Jl
326Please respect copyright.PENANA1AAhAh2Abe
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"326Please respect copyright.PENANAh2lPeuG7Pp
326Please respect copyright.PENANAXuGkG6fzC7
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANABpIg9DnQsz
326Please respect copyright.PENANADMhfea2k9K
"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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAjLirKoVATW
326Please respect copyright.PENANAdhrFBN3wkz
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAIYbiJb9zEI
326Please respect copyright.PENANA1JDOXEhHBl
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.326Please respect copyright.PENANA3cEC5lmuQn
326Please respect copyright.PENANATEVCp35Usc
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."326Please respect copyright.PENANAYlAlxfaj72
326Please respect copyright.PENANAfmUYNd1XzB
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.326Please respect copyright.PENANAPsmSJrLUUx
326Please respect copyright.PENANAsmERWkg2li
"The girls love it." He laughed.326Please respect copyright.PENANACYoFQVHi5G
326Please respect copyright.PENANADDewEvJ0MH
I blinked. "What?"326Please respect copyright.PENANAMBRAdcDAvJ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAcI8EejwmZP
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."326Please respect copyright.PENANA9Rls9c23jC
326Please respect copyright.PENANALVWOduKK2G
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"326Please respect copyright.PENANAtmldibmQP4
326Please respect copyright.PENANAEDOHjs3a45
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ6iA9Ppuy
326Please respect copyright.PENANAbmgmY4QR60
"Ma'am?"326Please respect copyright.PENANAnVHtQRJO2q
326Please respect copyright.PENANA5nKBo2iCu7
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.326Please respect copyright.PENANAvFSNu0EZAp
326Please respect copyright.PENANAs1NPJShE06
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANARXNIqOPnMk
326Please respect copyright.PENANAiSdCjnya18
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 326Please respect copyright.PENANAggoNsKO52s
326Please respect copyright.PENANAbyFLOxYyBJ
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANABTXNAwDrh8
326Please respect copyright.PENANAU6NzigGt8R
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.326Please respect copyright.PENANAPuSy7BnrA8
326Please respect copyright.PENANALNT58Ps6lr
"Beautiful hands."326Please respect copyright.PENANAIqdOuZykH3
326Please respect copyright.PENANA48WuuWmxjT
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.326Please respect copyright.PENANAq042JmoYtX
326Please respect copyright.PENANAoecpR4myDt
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAALKbwCYGBr
326Please respect copyright.PENANADm3OD51dcU
"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."326Please respect copyright.PENANAasbFcksZC6
326Please respect copyright.PENANAbkAFG6I8MY
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."326Please respect copyright.PENANAqVOQArENWD
326Please respect copyright.PENANAyzuhAQgtMv
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."326Please respect copyright.PENANAQvd9KdsqC1
326Please respect copyright.PENANAg2XTowUwLp
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.326Please respect copyright.PENANAJqsvByaeFk
326Please respect copyright.PENANA5XHQrZzCa6
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."326Please respect copyright.PENANAQGw6FTvyMF
326Please respect copyright.PENANAhXgcG7mx7W
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."326Please respect copyright.PENANAYtOJsHHPes
326Please respect copyright.PENANAbHEOMVZG0F
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"326Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3MKZcVXoL
326Please respect copyright.PENANABQVn3uFg6w
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."326Please respect copyright.PENANAvSI7fGIUHn
326Please respect copyright.PENANAlmvCf9oxEW
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."326Please respect copyright.PENANAL2GHnGupXR
326Please respect copyright.PENANAdT66UfQKs9
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"326Please respect copyright.PENANAD1EidW9jP6
326Please respect copyright.PENANAfky1TYQEQQ
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."326Please respect copyright.PENANA9WmwkFCSnz
326Please respect copyright.PENANAkxRpjC1GUz
"And Carlos?"326Please respect copyright.PENANAFA97ymyJJw
326Please respect copyright.PENANAB59A639FxZ
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.326Please respect copyright.PENANATc8ArBNuvK
326Please respect copyright.PENANAMwomeRQrcG
"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.326Please respect copyright.PENANA9JVl0JPp47
326Please respect copyright.PENANAnQuwglMW8D
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.326Please respect copyright.PENANAc4pKPCj8Gg
326Please respect copyright.PENANA6246D6NUi7
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.326Please respect copyright.PENANAOiBnYWOLUD
326Please respect copyright.PENANAKVRy9anUV5
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."326Please respect copyright.PENANADGoah9TI5v
326Please respect copyright.PENANAlthE3MqiUN
"Curious, I guess."326Please respect copyright.PENANA7s4GR0qssT
326Please respect copyright.PENANAD6s62dpz65
"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."326Please respect copyright.PENANAzvy2nuB67d
326Please respect copyright.PENANAYuIL9QJqL7
"Oh, I'll surprise you."326Please respect copyright.PENANAdByfx8AFDZ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAW5v8ZZSuCd
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."326Please respect copyright.PENANA7uiMDh60Cm
326Please respect copyright.PENANAb7SIEUxRuX
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"326Please respect copyright.PENANAO32OMv8s5x
326Please respect copyright.PENANAqI80eZjM6z
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."326Please respect copyright.PENANAwboHTFWASZ
326Please respect copyright.PENANANNivZhXsAL
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.326Please respect copyright.PENANAc35P4eOMiC
326Please respect copyright.PENANAIvkTDgjDCE
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."326Please respect copyright.PENANAwgo1mywpSd
326Please respect copyright.PENANAZNXODLSS9y
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.326Please respect copyright.PENANAS18Hz0gjGa
326Please respect copyright.PENANAyhM7nZOf2t
"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."326Please respect copyright.PENANArEFBwsKHnU
326Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ8Sz1SRtO
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."326Please respect copyright.PENANAZOeuVgUyKJ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAaKcUijx9Vp
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."326Please respect copyright.PENANAk1wJGJTV57
326Please respect copyright.PENANAfRf9RSBC2X
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAqomwypvwKe
326Please respect copyright.PENANAX2nP30mO7Y
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANA4CSMpdOlWW
326Please respect copyright.PENANA1D0aNAzSjp
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."326Please respect copyright.PENANAZhnQh42vLX
326Please respect copyright.PENANA2TsKPTLXgV
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.326Please respect copyright.PENANAuISiB1UblR
326Please respect copyright.PENANADBve8uEwwn
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."326Please respect copyright.PENANA0txwG4AvFq
326Please respect copyright.PENANAibK3n6WXRx
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."326Please respect copyright.PENANAR4vMTaVoIZ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAv6QGHfs92s
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."326Please respect copyright.PENANAN2VSQYMwLn
326Please respect copyright.PENANAwhamNElkx8
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.326Please respect copyright.PENANA5jKlBnlq6L
326Please respect copyright.PENANAxHbuSA7Vp7
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.326Please respect copyright.PENANAMCChuV5c4E
326Please respect copyright.PENANA5btO0aQVYl
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.326Please respect copyright.PENANAkiJlifc2Ng
326Please respect copyright.PENANA8jfTFLB59U
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.326Please respect copyright.PENANAW6KB17zPku
326Please respect copyright.PENANARPR0cXqO6Y
