That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnsUtGCVUA
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv9V3OdybD
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigpxKdjtAB
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ3awmWhlW
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgMPcYLRX8
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhaQNLOZrc
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj6RzF92cc
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡescs89OTlG
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWADXZdUTb
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiGQwo3YgM
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPZBDuzmqk
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMKgNH51JC
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2vv3F09Ho
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbbphfxS9K
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0DZoT64a1
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02aLrI6NWU
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkDLXFqWyU
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BeazDsp0t
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs2h958wJh
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcdBz8IFBY
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1s6NrW5ZM
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghDe7cSCgV
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbNg8IflB9
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuoPqMmNzZ
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy89su9eAmu
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhLh96z15M
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhmMyFLaBH
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZwgBW8k1p
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNctejJTqMp
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjdbuomttV
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfMTtbWvxh
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vZ5JbvztE
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkVHq4KvQh
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBoizxz4s4
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLUKffHJAm
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19xPvn29yw
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDNMIKtcfo
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s6cPkRaED
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnCmuiJrru
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84zIso9Lve
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlBR1Khqyb
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7q7DyeadU
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM52sEFb7gQ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQPYg6kkh5
Fucking asshole.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nbagXB3e7
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhDGEa2l8Q
"Let's go, Roberta!"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtPzb7OMnh
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ftEEGQAo
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv5MJMqwHL
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AOyRkVtxj
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgcVzPcy6N
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpJKcLWtLV
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilj66ygmi6
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0n3G6HsHw
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKf2MylRlB
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcWflm9GhI
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKU5CXXn3D
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIwTRgHECp
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS6pZQSJ6J
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB95yT0e2m
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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkqrGSIKbC
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg0FwbglNh
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62N8EBzqPV
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVZ37ZXTIe
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQnLozNVbD
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdxi9OSlmy
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybCJAZUnHT
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHiY7ulM10
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvanudm0CXY
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt5MdCQeZm
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJjUGlItx7
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuolnJ329Ph
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qIjEy2rJV
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL96pt3Fyy
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP0cuqXgNH
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70xdfciOBq
"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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjndjZEAXLa
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaBBoOLOOU
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpbkq0Sb55
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04AkdLU7LK
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfGdMo2uSj
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg1IkoGfXB
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzxjzxdeRa
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2HqY8v9Li
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4qHerWg8c
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhusQYfM76x
"The girls love it." He laughed.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDdCmQuoXA
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLmMrTqd9F
I blinked. "What?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi22pgmOm7G
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdsT3ynm3N
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4Gcp2d84h
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOGNAVgeyq
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKiWr83rG4
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rO064U8Ih
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgMNefYcQ8
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiqH4ZKNcQ
"Ma'am?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD9SceyM1Y
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu4dRn7HW8
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNfLP6Onjm
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJuAlzBXfq
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd2okiGP1k
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEGq4MkJJr
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA0C4Z0cic
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNSIRneTg4
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZB6YtSJ6s
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33aZvx1oXX
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcOrWY8zRp
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZseHqa2J0K
"Beautiful hands."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZfLxFgQrs
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3tQncB0xI
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu0cxWMo6o
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywWrxM993T
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRm0IYYRpI
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyGam0PTxh
"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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5ayL4czgz
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqnQhKS2AF
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4qPxcLlDR
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAcrQTDBSe
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvBBEweIqm
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGNafGTS77
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1coJra5jV
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf3esFzr2Z
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0zCHn5qtf
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIukGIB3lx
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1eMFfXTEd
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRawrE78IdL
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2lCL1hSKr
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfAsrivqia
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHuxAL2sYF
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYcF2gZ7E4
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS6A8a7hla
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd9n6iUghp
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLCFwk9bI0
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32iTN6iROW
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTniagYFDj7
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrPJBKEXuf
"And Carlos?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLh6QoNQNN
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLsfLRCUJN
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRJ5fEzAlw
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS39GRqJE9k
"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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1hjW5hG6p
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55HJ0FAooM
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe7itoWXpM
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrsRU0LrZQ
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsNTc3WPgr
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL97Wt9yE6z
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LIskYNUQo
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAgNU9ShBq
"Curious, I guess."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm38TnRNNl9
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1myoSiWrQh
"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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdcnkUvC00
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKWWsHARU7
"Oh, I'll surprise you."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsDXc5dqAS
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8naRfDua0
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5yds75dPD
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbhYmM5jWJ
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlMuWJhNg6
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImGoFln5z3
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4iPgOCXPF
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIXUHhCbik
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGf7qB77vv
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21xkuJhKTV
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdXwpdGRxL
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxJtcSpEWS
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJgCv88O18
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tnURbumrj
"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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PSFCuCAae
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlZnV3FcfT
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5UuIpwiQG
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXH1N1bl8V
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBpZs4c5i6
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiQrFWrNkX
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9BqUdBfxN
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbiyo9ixsI
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ48bQa93uj
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBujLRE4a7
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGtkuSJUhy
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85RCULK9lB
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyHplItxGK
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jiDB287u8
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7BV3yR3j8
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBi2oCz05T
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisqROpdGUS
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgU6l6aNSJ
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnXfbevLdt
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlNv1KBxX9
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwwGpXmODH
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ip8DxtotH
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL10uXd9ZM
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1wxMoO6dV
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO2S5Ouqr0
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3h6YdIW64
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cwimoOlih
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOijH4BooNn
