That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAo3JEzVokvT
254Please respect copyright.PENANAkFbWAcrSqT
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.254Please respect copyright.PENANAnNh2OW61UB
254Please respect copyright.PENANAyah943QUhM
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANA73iIdOLUVm
254Please respect copyright.PENANAmc9m4oqen7
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!254Please respect copyright.PENANApfFrKj3MDV
254Please respect copyright.PENANAy6rltl5mUF
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAHYeSlE5xkp
254Please respect copyright.PENANAVxED7EqYUD
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAvu0D4Q6yCc
254Please respect copyright.PENANA8QQTziHDOp
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAdfDBhxkgE2
254Please respect copyright.PENANADCbVhp3Rem
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAcsjJSg8sTm
254Please respect copyright.PENANAsNKrCWaejp
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.254Please respect copyright.PENANASyMOcbnLXB
254Please respect copyright.PENANA60eTZkKXxl
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAYm8atWWIcg
254Please respect copyright.PENANAwelQrMqYSG
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 254Please respect copyright.PENANAfstYB9AWfo
254Please respect copyright.PENANArExYlFrQuN
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAVE4p5rR1Os
254Please respect copyright.PENANAg6sK04aOE2
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANA1G4Ga3B4vk
254Please respect copyright.PENANALvv4UOmbO3
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANANQ7Cz2RnLW
254Please respect copyright.PENANA0HurKAf6b7
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANA3wSswxcmvA
254Please respect copyright.PENANAIN8FzREgVH
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANA2uJatvCuPs
254Please respect copyright.PENANAXOAAvA2mMx
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANA1OZPAwBrHm
254Please respect copyright.PENANA0cikPgdFKz
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.254Please respect copyright.PENANAcduaOaneuS
254Please respect copyright.PENANAYlMPUDoQHR
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.254Please respect copyright.PENANAvRdAvYxXFW
254Please respect copyright.PENANAaiJRDBQk4s
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.254Please respect copyright.PENANAHi7TtH2vHq
254Please respect copyright.PENANACdoZm0INGz
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANANJRWcGa9Ft
254Please respect copyright.PENANA3L6Fh5Kpmm
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANA9YDlalrHfu
254Please respect copyright.PENANAwGEVCtNXWH
Fucking asshole.254Please respect copyright.PENANAezTKCEQ1e3
254Please respect copyright.PENANAKdsLRtEXL5
"Let's go, Roberta!"254Please respect copyright.PENANA7o3gYI421K
254Please respect copyright.PENANAvJaAE6WnCr
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.254Please respect copyright.PENANAM0Hh0CZl9Q
254Please respect copyright.PENANAvkX17FTfI9
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.254Please respect copyright.PENANAo1YfUNU730
254Please respect copyright.PENANA9qYqGJPQv8
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAazf9d5CSOf
254Please respect copyright.PENANA11Ej1u4i7c
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAYec0RKzsnK
254Please respect copyright.PENANAH2s1TXpTLd
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."254Please respect copyright.PENANA0i0wDfVIKK
254Please respect copyright.PENANA1auTDVEwo2
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAPMLP4Q8u2o
254Please respect copyright.PENANAIB42sAyAmH
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."254Please respect copyright.PENANAelq6PzO2h1
254Please respect copyright.PENANAScdUsEHGQQ
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAis5ZFUSRnH
254Please respect copyright.PENANAw3SFOr4X3n
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."254Please respect copyright.PENANA6dxa9SLNnX
254Please respect copyright.PENANAIPcBtCkNpP
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANANnrWCfANyR
254Please respect copyright.PENANACpmIp3WvH1
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANATaByk7ymRE
254Please respect copyright.PENANAKQgD2UkuKN
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAbvoEUkvzdo
254Please respect copyright.PENANA0IkR5e1FlB
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAcloAiuuGqN
254Please respect copyright.PENANAOLbToMdAIs
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAHc8GXT7ArU
254Please respect copyright.PENANA0yNDoJctCe
"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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAfuaJ0Z6TFF
254Please respect copyright.PENANAnuHHhEOeLi
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAfEgyhJBBZ5
254Please respect copyright.PENANApVyfhO5DPz
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.254Please respect copyright.PENANAHR84xRoQ3i
254Please respect copyright.PENANA9SLVV6LORZ
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."254Please respect copyright.PENANA2TVmwBgyRy
254Please respect copyright.PENANANfDolEF7yH
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.254Please respect copyright.PENANAX6q0Xgbcyw
254Please respect copyright.PENANALGPmmjrfPW
"The girls love it." He laughed.254Please respect copyright.PENANAL9EWgBnqEC
254Please respect copyright.PENANAs0sD0kZNY0
I blinked. "What?"254Please respect copyright.PENANA7llY9F48ze
254Please respect copyright.PENANALFlnO1tA29
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."254Please respect copyright.PENANAoibxDXcrDu
254Please respect copyright.PENANAxNSljGr61K
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"254Please respect copyright.PENANALk0V6Dtf6f
254Please respect copyright.PENANAbnUMZKIiKS
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAMY1YO7IR6u
254Please respect copyright.PENANABYzng5nUkV
"Ma'am?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAZoUaDUbBc2
254Please respect copyright.PENANAiwD0rWX4V7
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.254Please respect copyright.PENANAq7CwFI165E
254Please respect copyright.PENANAKdQwOM5asC
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANA1PumDjzbgw
254Please respect copyright.PENANAsfnSgZmIVv
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 254Please respect copyright.PENANAsxnkgOgeTx
254Please respect copyright.PENANA12h2Z3bA49
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANA6vd7jObyrW
254Please respect copyright.PENANA7q8F6UMSl8
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.254Please respect copyright.PENANAqxtrfpndqf
254Please respect copyright.PENANAtz6nbflaay
"Beautiful hands."254Please respect copyright.PENANADlCTu5Z82t
254Please respect copyright.PENANAetDOSsHto6
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.254Please respect copyright.PENANAWc8VnSSEFp
254Please respect copyright.PENANAAZJhuU9EWs
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAdxPdMUHtib
254Please respect copyright.PENANAjrRRbv1tYo
"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."254Please respect copyright.PENANAm3FUo0akFK
254Please respect copyright.PENANAgc3ElTOcfQ
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."254Please respect copyright.PENANAjHOIux17K3
254Please respect copyright.PENANAdmXXolM2Cn
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."254Please respect copyright.PENANALWbFlQebmV
254Please respect copyright.PENANAoKR3vULAhM
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.254Please respect copyright.PENANAZWJhqSvgF2
254Please respect copyright.PENANAUGypzuSKtO
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."254Please respect copyright.PENANAjGiWg4DPiZ
254Please respect copyright.PENANAIWMebeZ1EG
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."254Please respect copyright.PENANA43W2kNaOSn
254Please respect copyright.PENANAzm98L9TPgC
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"254Please respect copyright.PENANA7PmvZqr8YW
254Please respect copyright.PENANAoNML67Mvsm
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."254Please respect copyright.PENANAM7OZ6zPEQ7
254Please respect copyright.PENANA0OMQoOwvJ2
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."254Please respect copyright.PENANAmfaqaxZEgA
254Please respect copyright.PENANAxpxA5jHhAE
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAcyZN2gEfJ5
254Please respect copyright.PENANAifb77FH7ia
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."254Please respect copyright.PENANA1CCPppbktW
254Please respect copyright.PENANASCuoSczgWf
"And Carlos?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAJg4AjfSDae
254Please respect copyright.PENANAJIrdR9Pxfz
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.254Please respect copyright.PENANAgObmbDp3om
254Please respect copyright.PENANA65MmHYOTDx
"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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAqkVR8HAQT1
254Please respect copyright.PENANAZH36VxOZoA
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.254Please respect copyright.PENANAlrSksvxInA
254Please respect copyright.PENANAOUx9wtJv65
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.254Please respect copyright.PENANAo8kfqsCvaE
254Please respect copyright.PENANAPu16nwQ1cu
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."254Please respect copyright.PENANAz54NCJqAY9
254Please respect copyright.PENANAUfPMdBW30i
"Curious, I guess."254Please respect copyright.PENANA3MZaXVwEDF
254Please respect copyright.PENANALDusKY4Xyl
"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."254Please respect copyright.PENANAyC7UNLJiyX
254Please respect copyright.PENANAcgYFkGDUfh
"Oh, I'll surprise you."254Please respect copyright.PENANA4OtsKOvHer
254Please respect copyright.PENANATIb9t6gpYI
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."254Please respect copyright.PENANAMnsFcePdJ3
254Please respect copyright.PENANAGO3ezBPdCE
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"254Please respect copyright.PENANAhTJCNjN7FF
254Please respect copyright.PENANA6MxZnSgj58
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."254Please respect copyright.PENANAPi3dEe3Dbw
254Please respect copyright.PENANAS9TWgnrLml
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.254Please respect copyright.PENANAfnJZmRf38Q
254Please respect copyright.PENANAfFq3RRBuB6
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."254Please respect copyright.PENANAMUEd9tVmqR
254Please respect copyright.PENANAXYbV6MrYiv
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.254Please respect copyright.PENANA2YPeFl9x7V
254Please respect copyright.PENANAR8BMNqGmR3
"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."254Please respect copyright.PENANAurIpdGwn7Q
254Please respect copyright.PENANAFWYAqEln1e
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."254Please respect copyright.PENANAI1S8AzKtVy
254Please respect copyright.PENANAQM3kaUoIXp
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."254Please respect copyright.PENANA5h80dX0SKC
254Please respect copyright.PENANA9vTCSv0rsO
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANApSAMurUPSg
254Please respect copyright.PENANACWsVayaXy9
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAJKxzypJ2Sw
254Please respect copyright.PENANAwR0TKgO9Bo
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."254Please respect copyright.PENANA7fr3tnxT3R
254Please respect copyright.PENANA5uEcuehtdh
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.254Please respect copyright.PENANA8n1VwxPGET
254Please respect copyright.PENANAbR7crRCiML
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."254Please respect copyright.PENANApzWADvbNr5
254Please respect copyright.PENANAoW9W2QN6c6
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."254Please respect copyright.PENANAOBIHPSAPoA
254Please respect copyright.PENANANNeyt73PF1
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."254Please respect copyright.PENANA2jhjOXwKE4
254Please respect copyright.PENANAoIWrNBNXZq
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.254Please respect copyright.PENANA6r1whqmHlL
254Please respect copyright.PENANAEUzDSfXXRd
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.254Please respect copyright.PENANAtcEKO6oopl
254Please respect copyright.PENANAEyFTGdJq26
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.254Please respect copyright.PENANAMEk4eN688u
254Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Khad2Pcs
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.254Please respect copyright.PENANAmNpG9sLeHv
254Please respect copyright.PENANAEXq7KZerkY
