That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 337Please respect copyright.PENANAYKGq9YaJWs
337Please respect copyright.PENANAVcdhDbhzGa
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.337Please respect copyright.PENANAPQcvazMZbk
337Please respect copyright.PENANAIX9zK3llx9
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAPT8Yu37Esg
337Please respect copyright.PENANA1i98kqdUe3
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!337Please respect copyright.PENANAUttSjUcpCa
337Please respect copyright.PENANAdakXGQ7to0
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAtAKlVlM0ll
337Please respect copyright.PENANA0vxb8oeHkA
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAwUmriUxA2p
337Please respect copyright.PENANAhF9d6S2l8V
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ0FOZsFc7
337Please respect copyright.PENANA3nJEOagEiL
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAcNoRFbtKT3
337Please respect copyright.PENANAGQtNAiJ0vv
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.337Please respect copyright.PENANAVlOlbdsvE5
337Please respect copyright.PENANACv4yVQmAFl
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANA82XL3CvXzb
337Please respect copyright.PENANAI47COi73OW
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 337Please respect copyright.PENANATWTYYQZ3px
337Please respect copyright.PENANAqooxJ5d8Xz
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAXMjOrNZFa3
337Please respect copyright.PENANATGLdouMsJS
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAYB94zXaIgc
337Please respect copyright.PENANAHfDpgnr6RX
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAbsoTiZ2TPx
337Please respect copyright.PENANAk0aCMSyvGf
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANA2HS8P1QXZS
337Please respect copyright.PENANAe4tJg0pdVY
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANATnLqNVxkDI
337Please respect copyright.PENANA7rsdSsNs1M
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAhguPtk8ZDl
337Please respect copyright.PENANAT642m6epp1
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.337Please respect copyright.PENANABIvbYly8lg
337Please respect copyright.PENANAQVATqtZa5d
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.337Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2rba1Tdjl
337Please respect copyright.PENANA4fvhpjLWOD
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.337Please respect copyright.PENANAcsFjQQSRae
337Please respect copyright.PENANAxRyBLrTToS
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAShnU6ijHC2
337Please respect copyright.PENANAPjsUmNZqG7
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANA1cVQVfKLKT
337Please respect copyright.PENANAIdVyEXDImQ
Fucking asshole.337Please respect copyright.PENANApDubBV9DNr
337Please respect copyright.PENANASx8PZnWemh
"Let's go, Roberta!"337Please respect copyright.PENANAvWXjRAYkts
337Please respect copyright.PENANA9HqVjKVpE7
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.337Please respect copyright.PENANAfSEjLzRlJD
337Please respect copyright.PENANAb7e3rAHBVd
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.337Please respect copyright.PENANA0HaXaG7JN3
337Please respect copyright.PENANAciXEmL9xFk
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAGnshNXkoya
337Please respect copyright.PENANALE8qtuLkTA
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAAMIvpZeuWk
337Please respect copyright.PENANAbhagghnSQ0
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."337Please respect copyright.PENANA6GmqmaYRBR
337Please respect copyright.PENANALYHlu7bKR2
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"337Please respect copyright.PENANAbbm2hzKLyf
337Please respect copyright.PENANAD6kx75Zzwl
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."337Please respect copyright.PENANAP3z3UrnGse
337Please respect copyright.PENANAyQWccfdyMx
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"337Please respect copyright.PENANA94n5eOvcRJ
337Please respect copyright.PENANAjgusXdBag7
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."337Please respect copyright.PENANAKnxBmi6meh
337Please respect copyright.PENANAXdydw8VAej
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAPVJEiCKgX1
337Please respect copyright.PENANAw1GbTBXhxg
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANA1QJYntkllo
337Please respect copyright.PENANAWz2PSh3FMZ
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAzBMQAEMcti
337Please respect copyright.PENANAa8VW25gLRv
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"337Please respect copyright.PENANAOD4UPvJPRm
337Please respect copyright.PENANAzRt9xHzAph
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAcxMAaYA662
337Please respect copyright.PENANAaK8OafezIb
"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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAegfEss54T8
337Please respect copyright.PENANAfUyqBTvmZk
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAuytnmJmMNO
337Please respect copyright.PENANAzFRr29c9ge
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.337Please respect copyright.PENANAI0dbTVJq6w
337Please respect copyright.PENANA84GYwbTIjA
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."337Please respect copyright.PENANAv0GvS47csT
337Please respect copyright.PENANArXy1QXWg11
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.337Please respect copyright.PENANAMnM3u3unkv
337Please respect copyright.PENANA5i0YTjRKDz
"The girls love it." He laughed.337Please respect copyright.PENANAPjSNp3OQWd
337Please respect copyright.PENANAOJwDr4ab8d
I blinked. "What?"337Please respect copyright.PENANAB355pgAU7v
337Please respect copyright.PENANAXS0jgPtCar
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."337Please respect copyright.PENANAYDhsW1IDOu
337Please respect copyright.PENANAl7pJcib9nn
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"337Please respect copyright.PENANA8bmwIlJ3Ym
337Please respect copyright.PENANAtcukzsC6ey
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAWFfQgZsFxd
337Please respect copyright.PENANApqfryKgngL
"Ma'am?"337Please respect copyright.PENANADNozlXHr03
337Please respect copyright.PENANAy3xs9qO3n0
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.337Please respect copyright.PENANAtZj4TJeRqp
337Please respect copyright.PENANASF88VKaoVf
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANASNgvpS8xrQ
337Please respect copyright.PENANA76RdgOiGUH
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 337Please respect copyright.PENANAH3yCUWy3DF
337Please respect copyright.PENANANpD6TiFRJQ
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z851YdqdG
337Please respect copyright.PENANA2iuvxJsfdE
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.337Please respect copyright.PENANAGveT44TTv1
337Please respect copyright.PENANAT2ZsejoZxT
"Beautiful hands."337Please respect copyright.PENANA5kCFWUFrCG
337Please respect copyright.PENANA3dw0AKL4hu
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.337Please respect copyright.PENANALTQNCBtmK6
337Please respect copyright.PENANAZg9AFpwqAm
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAWET49JXJMD
337Please respect copyright.PENANAJDrD404pM3
"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."337Please respect copyright.PENANAtYbNi4JN12
337Please respect copyright.PENANAsxGsJ7vC0V
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."337Please respect copyright.PENANAgc9XWBgnOh
337Please respect copyright.PENANAiegyKYIs2y
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."337Please respect copyright.PENANAaM5UmaR5fu
337Please respect copyright.PENANA5TR3fk8Til
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.337Please respect copyright.PENANArkyDBcY4kL
337Please respect copyright.PENANAkpzRADSAKO
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."337Please respect copyright.PENANAUTRGVHHPBM
337Please respect copyright.PENANAPfYn81ILp6
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."337Please respect copyright.PENANALteL6CCQxt
337Please respect copyright.PENANAEsmXRiIsyv
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"337Please respect copyright.PENANAdGIZXpVU48
337Please respect copyright.PENANA5eFyfO0NGn
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."337Please respect copyright.PENANANOcUkM1b2j
337Please respect copyright.PENANA5VUx2eRuJq
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."337Please respect copyright.PENANAwa8rJLGckC
337Please respect copyright.PENANAU4GAFTohjO
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"337Please respect copyright.PENANA9WuWKHJu4O
337Please respect copyright.PENANAjvOiJqQV6j
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."337Please respect copyright.PENANAEwkSh0QDtr
337Please respect copyright.PENANAGMrmre9cKY
"And Carlos?"337Please respect copyright.PENANAmo57jhg6li
337Please respect copyright.PENANAxlm8WmOUH1
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.337Please respect copyright.PENANAeZx2IA7efy
337Please respect copyright.PENANANzqprHVFw6
"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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAqMqeldXBdD
337Please respect copyright.PENANA0RnrwuZ3zQ
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.337Please respect copyright.PENANAQYGrNZ68XK
337Please respect copyright.PENANAnV3zfLRnrX
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.337Please respect copyright.PENANAMhKO9YzUgh
337Please respect copyright.PENANA006qO11FGt
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."337Please respect copyright.PENANAOMJRw1yJwb
337Please respect copyright.PENANAvXleyI0CfR
"Curious, I guess."337Please respect copyright.PENANA41tenBYLno
337Please respect copyright.PENANAxLRKUJeCxv
"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."337Please respect copyright.PENANAqvepf1IkCc
337Please respect copyright.PENANAJhxlYHTSdW
"Oh, I'll surprise you."337Please respect copyright.PENANAPtTGypGYnr
337Please respect copyright.PENANAif3MHw7tWf
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."337Please respect copyright.PENANAh6pEpgAhDg
337Please respect copyright.PENANASy5JWkCDNW
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"337Please respect copyright.PENANAeOcuix2Vh9
337Please respect copyright.PENANA20zgLr7RRh
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."337Please respect copyright.PENANABU8v6QaP9r
337Please respect copyright.PENANAoPNTsSLYiQ
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.337Please respect copyright.PENANANzed1U1iPj
337Please respect copyright.PENANAOdHoPACU6c
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."337Please respect copyright.PENANAhnzwS7SHBT
337Please respect copyright.PENANARnCoPrJTU1
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.337Please respect copyright.PENANALsgE6ZHqMf
337Please respect copyright.PENANAuYjU4iJmaY
"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."337Please respect copyright.PENANAYRYn785E3u
337Please respect copyright.PENANAvP4Xp3m3ku
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."337Please respect copyright.PENANAQfZ5yKv90y
337Please respect copyright.PENANANrdzf9Oqzk
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."337Please respect copyright.PENANA2caWNyasTP
337Please respect copyright.PENANAQqSj1mzDI3
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAQs0kRv21Yy
337Please respect copyright.PENANAj9SikEu2g7
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.337Please respect copyright.PENANAUTXDcIcn9B
337Please respect copyright.PENANAYMKkIYYF18
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."337Please respect copyright.PENANANKkmd88eXJ
337Please respect copyright.PENANAwpQjRhO1rE
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.337Please respect copyright.PENANAy0xI13rP2y
337Please respect copyright.PENANAuRmSL5LkPj
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."337Please respect copyright.PENANA889ILNyQQx
337Please respect copyright.PENANAFS0mNtzSgW
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."337Please respect copyright.PENANAiuPhp1LerN
337Please respect copyright.PENANAIDbdmE8sp6
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."337Please respect copyright.PENANAdtEL2SQQ7D
337Please respect copyright.PENANAPK8712Lr99
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.337Please respect copyright.PENANAifCdCT1tRl
337Please respect copyright.PENANAvAAQi6PJF3
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.337Please respect copyright.PENANAvbSs5rUBsT
337Please respect copyright.PENANAzhcxDaWhIM
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.337Please respect copyright.PENANAyFzXHVy7oh
337Please respect copyright.PENANAimT7zIIcoU
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.337Please respect copyright.PENANA6y0HkDeIfT
337Please respect copyright.PENANABwBEuPeBM1
