That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 289Please respect copyright.PENANAdkwEE8pEyP
289Please respect copyright.PENANAHaxlz4MrE4
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.289Please respect copyright.PENANACFuHfpnY6s
289Please respect copyright.PENANApF6ljCFnA8
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANArtuksgkL3p
289Please respect copyright.PENANATrA8dxfeyc
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!289Please respect copyright.PENANAcRvqA5jYho
289Please respect copyright.PENANAR0N1JMeUuD
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAEzgJpndFCC
289Please respect copyright.PENANAutXgSjGVOJ
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAQoACktqXry
289Please respect copyright.PENANAcjREoiUtqA
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAvqcImhDWzm
289Please respect copyright.PENANAsAq7aPe3Oa
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAPjQa8lIRRP
289Please respect copyright.PENANAi0X8kO1jI1
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.289Please respect copyright.PENANA3KW2CU1jnU
289Please respect copyright.PENANAKEbtZoKRVf
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAQulh4fh8QS
289Please respect copyright.PENANAt6KgtSNqGL
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 289Please respect copyright.PENANAyW9alU0o50
289Please respect copyright.PENANA8ozbx0hihi
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANA5hZ5MBll8o
289Please respect copyright.PENANAgnnJTN0bQM
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAxVy9tuY5je
289Please respect copyright.PENANA6lV76nGBB5
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAATSPoYN9Ym
289Please respect copyright.PENANA2SpwyAFBZ8
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAoxYSr5mRp7
289Please respect copyright.PENANA2bWDz93YHB
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAXwJ50sHcHH
289Please respect copyright.PENANA5HVq4UZIrf
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAS9HCar3AnX
289Please respect copyright.PENANAFbWPXXDId6
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.289Please respect copyright.PENANAjEOZHOAf8R
289Please respect copyright.PENANApSjkT8WUtR
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.289Please respect copyright.PENANAWPtD7CANS3
289Please respect copyright.PENANARNPmMp1A0X
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.289Please respect copyright.PENANADXClxpMLQ0
289Please respect copyright.PENANAHoSfLzOgfb
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAnbarBFNorx
289Please respect copyright.PENANAtkfcuTYlHH
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAql8AhAMOua
289Please respect copyright.PENANAcq2YFqq3kh
Fucking asshole.289Please respect copyright.PENANA60ww1QCXpa
289Please respect copyright.PENANAe7X2GsnJSj
"Let's go, Roberta!"289Please respect copyright.PENANAJM1Tsrx5B4
289Please respect copyright.PENANAq1OUdi9abm
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.289Please respect copyright.PENANALf96AR4Nmu
289Please respect copyright.PENANAbDSckMVJZg
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.289Please respect copyright.PENANAQYQcxXDKsC
289Please respect copyright.PENANA8dVLhZHUqB
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAoI6qZDbXwM
289Please respect copyright.PENANAbeZAcKic9U
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAehMWlwJaFG
289Please respect copyright.PENANAoi4Eh7zuBD
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."289Please respect copyright.PENANAFOUFLI0EAY
289Please respect copyright.PENANAgVwGfjJ8CL
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"289Please respect copyright.PENANAJMN5Mq8Ios
289Please respect copyright.PENANAGbM9wrYXDf
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."289Please respect copyright.PENANAiV99uR3wfh
289Please respect copyright.PENANAz4DQBIbXix
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"289Please respect copyright.PENANAYVXLc0GLGj
289Please respect copyright.PENANAb737ZLk1hk
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."289Please respect copyright.PENANAKbqtpbqWJf
289Please respect copyright.PENANAFwvBbN39nL
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAKhq6KMZet1
289Please respect copyright.PENANA2QlfX0cZ6w
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAVo7DBlZRCo
289Please respect copyright.PENANANsd3cE0Jnl
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANArU7ef9jtdb
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOeGf0PFvpW
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"289Please respect copyright.PENANALe5NhirXRw
289Please respect copyright.PENANATCXrWeUXJL
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAut6rwEsNI2
289Please respect copyright.PENANAF7Wfes4v43
"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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAaEJ5ZYmcpM
289Please respect copyright.PENANABtLUdPwHfx
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAMYlzXFNK0A
289Please respect copyright.PENANASgBc381aQU
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.289Please respect copyright.PENANAWpCyjMCRxC
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuLFw2WYpyS
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."289Please respect copyright.PENANAQFrwVOq4op
289Please respect copyright.PENANAZdtmNRtluE
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.289Please respect copyright.PENANA6CpHE9R694
289Please respect copyright.PENANAlo3q8oJPMY
"The girls love it." He laughed.289Please respect copyright.PENANAtMGFsyqQ14
289Please respect copyright.PENANAB6L6gpwDqk
I blinked. "What?"289Please respect copyright.PENANAdC9WjlCGR7
289Please respect copyright.PENANA5lBykhbuCp
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."289Please respect copyright.PENANAO7F5KGTsm9
289Please respect copyright.PENANAQmFNnZ5QEC
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"289Please respect copyright.PENANAOQGcF4gf1q
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhKsGTJjUUH
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANARZcohwoz44
289Please respect copyright.PENANAlStVQlTIHr
"Ma'am?"289Please respect copyright.PENANAa9MVkSn2lB
289Please respect copyright.PENANAb5o9S2YIGM
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.289Please respect copyright.PENANADTX2VpIxmL
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOUm0M9rbgO
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAJHqhUToqyv
289Please respect copyright.PENANAIzvIZgFx8X
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 289Please respect copyright.PENANAbTS2jOXxZA
289Please respect copyright.PENANACTcGZvVl30
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAM4T5NmmZHA
289Please respect copyright.PENANAKTf3DaSdcw
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.289Please respect copyright.PENANAslz4EjZVct
289Please respect copyright.PENANAViptFrnkhl
"Beautiful hands."289Please respect copyright.PENANAWa9zQMfi6y
289Please respect copyright.PENANAKAMsLBCYn6
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.289Please respect copyright.PENANAvQZ8mLiHae
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhpD97n92q3
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAmXU6nYvIR7
289Please respect copyright.PENANA3VjeozcCrn
"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."289Please respect copyright.PENANAe7xbk7uZ3T
289Please respect copyright.PENANANo9AxUtVbV
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."289Please respect copyright.PENANAQNqELssFEX
289Please respect copyright.PENANAkYbV5lBf5M
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."289Please respect copyright.PENANAYCDpdMrVln
289Please respect copyright.PENANACnbHPwmIym
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.289Please respect copyright.PENANA94nJh14pI2
289Please respect copyright.PENANAWHYQgv3aWZ
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."289Please respect copyright.PENANAcrzzM1bhvP
289Please respect copyright.PENANAodYohUE3Sd
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."289Please respect copyright.PENANAJeFFKxXZ2c
289Please respect copyright.PENANA3ufe7p1o9e
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"289Please respect copyright.PENANAYzzENpn8Dw
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhSLTvSWwXi
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."289Please respect copyright.PENANAUMfOzA1VDA
289Please respect copyright.PENANALG8OdKAX6b
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."289Please respect copyright.PENANAERpRO5L5Bu
289Please respect copyright.PENANAm22ODraf3T
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"289Please respect copyright.PENANAz7OVz3WntS
289Please respect copyright.PENANAO00zBscx11
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."289Please respect copyright.PENANA7e8ebTRLNh
289Please respect copyright.PENANAkChN76suBX
"And Carlos?"289Please respect copyright.PENANAetFEIjxdAW
289Please respect copyright.PENANA6dm9j5gVHW
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.289Please respect copyright.PENANAd3TVcuHVbB
289Please respect copyright.PENANAh8gCV79PWy
"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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAABLFiDBuOD
289Please respect copyright.PENANAd7PEGeb4CQ
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.289Please respect copyright.PENANAnYGmRptPtx
289Please respect copyright.PENANAXnkKx4mwTS
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.289Please respect copyright.PENANAiqZyAXO4EG
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOeFtdbsEHW
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."289Please respect copyright.PENANA6Eg7oNdFNp
289Please respect copyright.PENANAwk3Ii65c2k
"Curious, I guess."289Please respect copyright.PENANAPqQlicvneK
289Please respect copyright.PENANAfOxbx7CnOn
"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."289Please respect copyright.PENANAU5B5shWRhJ
289Please respect copyright.PENANAN4ZJ0PQSMH
"Oh, I'll surprise you."289Please respect copyright.PENANArS6AsMuZHu
289Please respect copyright.PENANATH59VhVgRO
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."289Please respect copyright.PENANAV6Euqh6zaT
289Please respect copyright.PENANAeRYr34dLYA
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"289Please respect copyright.PENANAlqLM3y0YON
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAFSA6x2Wj3
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."289Please respect copyright.PENANA4fkhNjqoiI
289Please respect copyright.PENANAqPo5XjDpPx
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.289Please respect copyright.PENANAlnHnPu0ZkD
289Please respect copyright.PENANAe173W8Hvtl
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."289Please respect copyright.PENANAyuJMwJlloi
289Please respect copyright.PENANADAmxTfj1mK
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.289Please respect copyright.PENANAbrjtqc4Or0
289Please respect copyright.PENANAVfCShwtdcd
"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."289Please respect copyright.PENANAJOFCHCdyPg
289Please respect copyright.PENANAz0RX3jyvdb
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."289Please respect copyright.PENANAJJPMmUZXoD
289Please respect copyright.PENANAO90LubUOYN
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."289Please respect copyright.PENANAhlazG9hrbl
289Please respect copyright.PENANAaHPOSHo6o8
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANAvWiFCy85CG
289Please respect copyright.PENANATGiyKsSX2p
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.289Please respect copyright.PENANADQmXTSU6JZ
289Please respect copyright.PENANAxweKInGAtw
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."289Please respect copyright.PENANAh2Akff7eVC
289Please respect copyright.PENANAJRW4yx9x84
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.289Please respect copyright.PENANABVkr7Rf8AR
289Please respect copyright.PENANALShfZBjWk8
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."289Please respect copyright.PENANAPHCYzSNLV2
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOHRYAmmIpw
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."289Please respect copyright.PENANAmcc5xbgkE8
289Please respect copyright.PENANAH5gZbMj8Sw
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."289Please respect copyright.PENANAdmSbHyO8Hv
289Please respect copyright.PENANAxVzTByJeu2
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.289Please respect copyright.PENANAPKmBeOK4vA
289Please respect copyright.PENANAsVxvPSdRzc
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.289Please respect copyright.PENANAtPKAtHfGC9
289Please respect copyright.PENANA7iEopSXBHP
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.289Please respect copyright.PENANANdNNqKdIcG
289Please respect copyright.PENANA7VHkJGiwkF
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.289Please respect copyright.PENANAn5y4p4m7L3
289Please respect copyright.PENANA3WL6fVujJQ
