That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 307Please respect copyright.PENANAoosmiq8mte
307Please respect copyright.PENANA9h0Rxm0z8c
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.307Please respect copyright.PENANAXPnNjRXhfq
307Please respect copyright.PENANAIkACwktt5Y
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAHyHPd1EEd4
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xihjdf90J
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!307Please respect copyright.PENANAQcHhQzq7BI
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ0EalAxOq
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANACA4tapSgeo
307Please respect copyright.PENANA7qQlj8OCtD
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANATKvkPRZ1E9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAAwhSLlrDNj
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAsVGyxxsvLG
307Please respect copyright.PENANA0t93yGAWig
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAyE4P781oon
307Please respect copyright.PENANAAIyDh4pHLe
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.307Please respect copyright.PENANATazuQCIOTn
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQsOdif7XFg
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAuMgAXIO4x4
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbYtifnha7E
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 307Please respect copyright.PENANAGh8TIsnYpj
307Please respect copyright.PENANAHP2r46QlqL
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAN6Fbe7Nk24
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsPkl67X0Lo
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAQscJ7gGF4R
307Please respect copyright.PENANAi3Q2sldSSZ
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAL6CTm1IgPl
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEKIJXvUwAG
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAFXd0nJmfip
307Please respect copyright.PENANAxDzdYJ6bou
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAhybrWxK4ih
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcZSITPN2nH
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANA0hdb4OSrnZ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAMrsGPAuDtO
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.307Please respect copyright.PENANAkE8fYdRSZN
307Please respect copyright.PENANAIzo1Lq9qL2
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.307Please respect copyright.PENANACrgoqzBt7W
307Please respect copyright.PENANAOnspduN48Q
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.307Please respect copyright.PENANAiAtIIGQJhC
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZmRFrTNtvP
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANA6JU7R0RfAz
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKORjqiHUld
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAuF1GKKoIEt
307Please respect copyright.PENANAuig6IdA0IC
Fucking asshole.307Please respect copyright.PENANAma93rWpjk3
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZelSoyq7i9
"Let's go, Roberta!"307Please respect copyright.PENANArDlDfWX4nl
307Please respect copyright.PENANA65NSZIhrhQ
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.307Please respect copyright.PENANAPTIujWDIjA
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkc3Q5y17S4
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.307Please respect copyright.PENANAlphXXYPCbO
307Please respect copyright.PENANAi4taQ4qEgt
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAr97mONlY78
307Please respect copyright.PENANAguujKyeSW2
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAXsYM8QNncz
307Please respect copyright.PENANAGWZ6PV0tko
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."307Please respect copyright.PENANAFnOib59wHv
307Please respect copyright.PENANASavFSc2mSD
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAHWc0PHCByF
307Please respect copyright.PENANAoZfNvOS7V5
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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAr20jnSnLbr
307Please respect copyright.PENANA9KCrb0eHev
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAihaLeOuoCR
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWwBlQg9m4t
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."307Please respect copyright.PENANAXiqEVZGJlY
307Please respect copyright.PENANAyyD26NOZqN
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3D8JCJgkH
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWDEvMw7sf8
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAuaEfCbviS7
307Please respect copyright.PENANA2DhbyaTcBX
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAIrwiCyrhHz
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3uJfcj2I2u
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"307Please respect copyright.PENANATWrxoy0CDe
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEKZkCQQ6PO
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAbQIhhXrr1Z
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJSq4llOppx
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAGcFTFcpSYU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAUmaIMRjevm
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAqr5YqM0F7X
307Please respect copyright.PENANA42ohtPaGEW
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.307Please respect copyright.PENANAYsvPMvsyLr
307Please respect copyright.PENANALWwr8xlQ4P
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."307Please respect copyright.PENANA3WqS1qZmwt
307Please respect copyright.PENANABbgSdXcfnL
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.307Please respect copyright.PENANAxxnrEruLK4
307Please respect copyright.PENANApjOsrbpq9M
"The girls love it." He laughed.307Please respect copyright.PENANAHFDO4IFrfu
307Please respect copyright.PENANALJAFWUCWy1
I blinked. "What?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAoGzBUyWlBq
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfhGAudsnzt
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."307Please respect copyright.PENANA6L64dZJNwN
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWpYnaqxsR4
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAfuxrNKpI8H
307Please respect copyright.PENANATWHM7gy4K6
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAlA6s7CU0c5
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJRB7GXleIb
"Ma'am?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAl4jLdXtzSR
307Please respect copyright.PENANAwocUW95Y8K
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.307Please respect copyright.PENANAslSpDn6skw
307Please respect copyright.PENANANOtUzPuKi2
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANA4VOXwkfyIt
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6903O3cveL
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 307Please respect copyright.PENANAdp034n4Ocv
307Please respect copyright.PENANAffJqIKGnAZ
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANA65Bq9LP2ZE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAVyiwQIwmYf
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.307Please respect copyright.PENANAUAKhDMHOAL
307Please respect copyright.PENANAH6wXFGMRKw
"Beautiful hands."307Please respect copyright.PENANARcg4fWTR1u
307Please respect copyright.PENANAa6fEcDci7C
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.307Please respect copyright.PENANA9jlMECNYXV
307Please respect copyright.PENANARxqeSjgh7W
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANA4z43v7Lx5W
307Please respect copyright.PENANAtPYm0vEXUO
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAiHsJihJS4n
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKNDnlEKIsn
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."307Please respect copyright.PENANAP1ZVaMBDjN
307Please respect copyright.PENANAC3AjlmGOqB
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."307Please respect copyright.PENANAnppsmlJ27W
307Please respect copyright.PENANARgvPvN5CUp
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.307Please respect copyright.PENANArDou1DP050
307Please respect copyright.PENANALyA49GDv1g
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."307Please respect copyright.PENANAPJoMLxQQjq
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvbyOEFhqeF
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."307Please respect copyright.PENANAIgHmxppIJT
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJd56UxLPBQ
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"307Please respect copyright.PENANABNmYukdt0u
307Please respect copyright.PENANA2vdrUvmq8i
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."307Please respect copyright.PENANAiSz3WK5nZJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANARzjuSMiWIs
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."307Please respect copyright.PENANA4xmoueYD7i
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZOIShnQ4sG
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAvehhwueBmT
307Please respect copyright.PENANAj82H2PmyK2
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."307Please respect copyright.PENANAS7DiADgMim
307Please respect copyright.PENANAzos7GKoyI2
"And Carlos?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAmvqwx9cizv
307Please respect copyright.PENANACw66lFOEfJ
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.307Please respect copyright.PENANAD6m2PeCp8d
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKho017JuLj
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAQNBW70AlXh
307Please respect copyright.PENANAgY87Of3tdb
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.307Please respect copyright.PENANAX5ZmgLdfuB
307Please respect copyright.PENANApUjdnRO4ux
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.307Please respect copyright.PENANAwsGePZuCzf
307Please respect copyright.PENANAppR0NBLFBp
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."307Please respect copyright.PENANASZte1N8fPC
307Please respect copyright.PENANANTyIWmcbp6
"Curious, I guess."307Please respect copyright.PENANAoR6cY0fV7k
307Please respect copyright.PENANAv9iOC1rn9c
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAAyOqsWrDbl
307Please respect copyright.PENANAyI2gOaHRy3
"Oh, I'll surprise you."307Please respect copyright.PENANAlsIvUcl3Es
307Please respect copyright.PENANATbQfg6Exz4
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."307Please respect copyright.PENANAAo8q4Wd6Fz
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6TAtQvOZZm
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAs0Pbb9ntFu
307Please respect copyright.PENANAc0fktfWQeh
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."307Please respect copyright.PENANAaH8jKowc3K
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZHEldWgPsN
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.307Please respect copyright.PENANAnR5ntpNxpA
307Please respect copyright.PENANAUODbDpo9vD
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."307Please respect copyright.PENANAv9y2BvGlnj
307Please respect copyright.PENANAXYdIMv5JQo
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.307Please respect copyright.PENANArI8NoaZhkp
307Please respect copyright.PENANA280OMDbK8p
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAtewHgDeZyj
307Please respect copyright.PENANAhNp430TxAf
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."307Please respect copyright.PENANAIfd38nZxSQ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFGN4BLmeE2
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."307Please respect copyright.PENANAfDLPRXC41q
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8p5uBqORtI
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAW1RFLgxQAB
307Please respect copyright.PENANABBChkbvKco
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAJAPZMe1Lmk
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcDDASjbAet
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."307Please respect copyright.PENANAii047rvCdN
307Please respect copyright.PENANAk7lyCcNTCt
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.307Please respect copyright.PENANAjyLtgFlmGn
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjFqT1WZx2G
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."307Please respect copyright.PENANAvnv7FRkct5
307Please respect copyright.PENANAiwpCVByBVt
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."307Please respect copyright.PENANAALSMvVSoUJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAxMxCIcG69Z
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."307Please respect copyright.PENANAOXM3v3iEIU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAP48jpR3FKO
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.307Please respect copyright.PENANAOEpGQzaXxv
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfYVAygmqyD
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.307Please respect copyright.PENANAymGwG8MzWO
307Please respect copyright.PENANAwD7dbJLv3Z
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.307Please respect copyright.PENANA9S9QVC0yvU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAgyMfnahF5V
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.307Please respect copyright.PENANATo3MJQowFs
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWUgkQaMGtV
