That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 290Please respect copyright.PENANA7MeVzuXI3x
290Please respect copyright.PENANAtBBFocLotl
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.290Please respect copyright.PENANAjqMKwnmtkj
290Please respect copyright.PENANAbngnioCHQH
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANA37tlHqVuop
290Please respect copyright.PENANAlJbvMsbNcS
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!290Please respect copyright.PENANANZb4WAuP3V
290Please respect copyright.PENANAzsmYyBWKqo
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAes9OK7GcQC
290Please respect copyright.PENANAavs3Up5f6x
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAtfQKJ2VdME
290Please respect copyright.PENANAiefHWHl6D3
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAHFPgSGkZiP
290Please respect copyright.PENANAUFall7XRsl
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANA3BA7iRooqC
290Please respect copyright.PENANA6D2ae1wXOv
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.290Please respect copyright.PENANAypiCSOu5KN
290Please respect copyright.PENANATomMt8NSrZ
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANA9u2qd0E6Ap
290Please respect copyright.PENANAk69YUYgZJG
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 290Please respect copyright.PENANAz2quXDdj3T
290Please respect copyright.PENANAJAwLgEIcy2
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANA87nuZuD3et
290Please respect copyright.PENANAUA6Cpv16ag
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAx7NQE9OcO8
290Please respect copyright.PENANABqKjcRr9Tz
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANA6WvOdbw88l
290Please respect copyright.PENANACrmL9eRVmQ
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANASAyjgxAbxt
290Please respect copyright.PENANA0nADEMsNFz
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAVSDaIKDYUb
290Please respect copyright.PENANArMX1C1XBOU
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAdTInkj01Td
290Please respect copyright.PENANAy1EsgCocQ3
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.290Please respect copyright.PENANALldEIe9BoV
290Please respect copyright.PENANAlLbKJVpLcX
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.290Please respect copyright.PENANAfR5vvSfuVG
290Please respect copyright.PENANAv3sFdGEF1e
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.290Please respect copyright.PENANA5CCYDmOGJi
290Please respect copyright.PENANAzSrYnrp65l
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAjJk34kMJIy
290Please respect copyright.PENANAL4olXFNuWf
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAiDf370a89m
290Please respect copyright.PENANA6vMvTRCAUD
Fucking asshole.290Please respect copyright.PENANAHTyle6eDKW
290Please respect copyright.PENANAp3bn19Bwj6
"Let's go, Roberta!"290Please respect copyright.PENANA71Y4yFTkU3
290Please respect copyright.PENANA2Tp2KEcA7E
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.290Please respect copyright.PENANAft6HM7L1CQ
290Please respect copyright.PENANAVc8BWYwYT7
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.290Please respect copyright.PENANAc4ZBubuiGi
290Please respect copyright.PENANAgUSM0wEdIS
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANA1VwJTQvuWV
290Please respect copyright.PENANAx4FGNRR6Wt
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAfvRqQDPEHa
290Please respect copyright.PENANAkA6qqPPqvI
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."290Please respect copyright.PENANAJ49vX6maWq
290Please respect copyright.PENANARqx1jOMARo
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"290Please respect copyright.PENANA3tSB60wq9H
290Please respect copyright.PENANAEIcWpjCMMH
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."290Please respect copyright.PENANAWKkJlFx4Qw
290Please respect copyright.PENANAICzafAJd6G
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"290Please respect copyright.PENANAUL0NsjPDXk
290Please respect copyright.PENANAMiChmpGQ5A
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."290Please respect copyright.PENANAFfeLodjO7y
290Please respect copyright.PENANAsUJGXes6xv
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAhqd6V0blem
290Please respect copyright.PENANAkrY2aaTCin
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANABR2htME4O9
290Please respect copyright.PENANAinzNp3TtNH
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAt9NvGQ87Ki
290Please respect copyright.PENANAdfGtw64I9V
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"290Please respect copyright.PENANA5uMKLiwCsj
290Please respect copyright.PENANArU29cuK2XV
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANA7VYp5YUkWl
290Please respect copyright.PENANA90xBDcURSK
"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.290Please respect copyright.PENANA6NN6k4kksN
290Please respect copyright.PENANA4f02TdS2Bi
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAkW37BV3nUS
290Please respect copyright.PENANA9hP62DXqSO
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.290Please respect copyright.PENANAfDwKun3hWT
290Please respect copyright.PENANAd75PGALIAp
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."290Please respect copyright.PENANArXupCXsg2Q
290Please respect copyright.PENANAcNrxTgQJ7U
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.290Please respect copyright.PENANAEHDn54Vxte
290Please respect copyright.PENANAlGvOCw5eAO
"The girls love it." He laughed.290Please respect copyright.PENANAcVHkwYmIdt
290Please respect copyright.PENANAbF8uxzvBCM
I blinked. "What?"290Please respect copyright.PENANAyKGYujRcoq
290Please respect copyright.PENANAGsEXrfsV2N
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."290Please respect copyright.PENANArnDEVyJkcR
290Please respect copyright.PENANA0bKUKKCf4d
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"290Please respect copyright.PENANA1fyjHr46AS
290Please respect copyright.PENANAHW3rv2hGT4
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANA8XB5AJ9n5n
290Please respect copyright.PENANAzaCnsPs2Nj
"Ma'am?"290Please respect copyright.PENANAx40i1zk5T3
290Please respect copyright.PENANARR4Wf4zPbf
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.290Please respect copyright.PENANADrmbEIjiDi
290Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6OMd15qUi
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAK6qeFQ5oDc
290Please respect copyright.PENANA884SAQIFeR
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 290Please respect copyright.PENANAhx9ggMMioJ
290Please respect copyright.PENANASJLPgmqk6S
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAVYHJu1wCPA
290Please respect copyright.PENANAAYq5qvCdrM
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.290Please respect copyright.PENANAPpgN9fwvjj
290Please respect copyright.PENANApVicqggV6w
"Beautiful hands."290Please respect copyright.PENANAMZuBzQSr7Y
290Please respect copyright.PENANA9cgAGeOArW
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.290Please respect copyright.PENANAZmN0eWZygW
290Please respect copyright.PENANAK1veQNfRYd
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANA675YRk5N4y
290Please respect copyright.PENANAo3u99vsuKy
"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."290Please respect copyright.PENANAYh1xaJl26Z
290Please respect copyright.PENANAEgE6VH1EXQ
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."290Please respect copyright.PENANApKVHyUH3lu
290Please respect copyright.PENANAD089id9lEn
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."290Please respect copyright.PENANAJGLOYOhw1B
290Please respect copyright.PENANAk1ZuilXotp
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.290Please respect copyright.PENANAR8GkLEKmZH
290Please respect copyright.PENANA7K9wSe0nuC
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."290Please respect copyright.PENANABBmWPz84bA
290Please respect copyright.PENANAGDdOpQjPIL
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."290Please respect copyright.PENANAvywpCMmzlq
290Please respect copyright.PENANAZzb27uRP4W
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"290Please respect copyright.PENANAjfOkIzQLhJ
290Please respect copyright.PENANAmq0y8daVcT
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."290Please respect copyright.PENANArI2ELUz3q2
290Please respect copyright.PENANA8c8ATdrmBv
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."290Please respect copyright.PENANA1N4sBu4d54
290Please respect copyright.PENANAzRH2neK3Dt
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"290Please respect copyright.PENANAUYUkfX7ghw
290Please respect copyright.PENANAbgvz4aHbKf
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."290Please respect copyright.PENANAWnrf6kTwit
290Please respect copyright.PENANAJfatLR4pWC
"And Carlos?"290Please respect copyright.PENANA5NNMfpAg62
290Please respect copyright.PENANA5jEyuwFbSn
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.290Please respect copyright.PENANAuDEgx8jUn7
290Please respect copyright.PENANAejnigdCllP
"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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAJL4RTfJpA8
290Please respect copyright.PENANAKGhiTAdOKq
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.290Please respect copyright.PENANAh35aMQ7GpB
290Please respect copyright.PENANAsCFLLSGlKB
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.290Please respect copyright.PENANAW03f3JvuhA
290Please respect copyright.PENANAFQhtFvUzOq
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."290Please respect copyright.PENANA6TgJTnDoJE
290Please respect copyright.PENANAiZ7dn3HfXJ
"Curious, I guess."290Please respect copyright.PENANA9Wdi7XXjJq
290Please respect copyright.PENANARZw5BGg3ED
"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."290Please respect copyright.PENANAfG2NTLRxjv
290Please respect copyright.PENANAaXDukRDMQj
"Oh, I'll surprise you."290Please respect copyright.PENANANu4T6BWx3I
290Please respect copyright.PENANAzMD6nFF4iP
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."290Please respect copyright.PENANA241gS2tAeg
290Please respect copyright.PENANAdGpgebKwx4
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"290Please respect copyright.PENANAW0bh4zydgE
290Please respect copyright.PENANAMPdOL1FhyN
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."290Please respect copyright.PENANAM8JvAEMeD4
290Please respect copyright.PENANAjTlXcmHBk8
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.290Please respect copyright.PENANAcZMO0dGNsT
290Please respect copyright.PENANAe9eJ8L93dv
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."290Please respect copyright.PENANAb2kHH7Dw4k
290Please respect copyright.PENANAeAm1j8G30A
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.290Please respect copyright.PENANAGzGLcGUed9
290Please respect copyright.PENANA4IuqMKCTI6
"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."290Please respect copyright.PENANAnh3zwk0pj2
290Please respect copyright.PENANAhNxETWAovx
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."290Please respect copyright.PENANAWe0kQ2YapZ
290Please respect copyright.PENANAj2u7FVDHcG
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."290Please respect copyright.PENANABoCWeWr3ds
290Please respect copyright.PENANARchVtAWxB3
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANAhdqoIa3Xf0
290Please respect copyright.PENANAPm4qtuhWik
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.290Please respect copyright.PENANALcBdEUmbSl
290Please respect copyright.PENANAVnde5cWkzY
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."290Please respect copyright.PENANAgbE6MGwk5e
290Please respect copyright.PENANAXpGMBQBz8j
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.290Please respect copyright.PENANAgGIk9YXssI
290Please respect copyright.PENANAWWc35CH8SG
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."290Please respect copyright.PENANAv7iEeLJJ9I
290Please respect copyright.PENANAjrPs7hDALE
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."290Please respect copyright.PENANAvWs41eRkRt
290Please respect copyright.PENANAVdFhAPGnlU
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."290Please respect copyright.PENANApnkWHBbmC1
290Please respect copyright.PENANAA3wQR42oDL
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.290Please respect copyright.PENANAAoOJebbwna
290Please respect copyright.PENANAwNiNpUa7V7
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.290Please respect copyright.PENANA8ILs3343iH
290Please respect copyright.PENANAHPpE1q40gV
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.290Please respect copyright.PENANA3UHDJ52lsn
290Please respect copyright.PENANAPxY0uZydFV
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.290Please respect copyright.PENANAo98gRBGp5i
290Please respect copyright.PENANAyfYJYxPmNY
