That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 282Please respect copyright.PENANAYSSq3yGnqG
282Please respect copyright.PENANAoC3S7laN8j
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.282Please respect copyright.PENANAaEWFp0fiK5
282Please respect copyright.PENANA0vlNaqKjmb
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAM3vISwv56z
282Please respect copyright.PENANA3TBQf9urWH
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!282Please respect copyright.PENANAfYJHYLVpbZ
282Please respect copyright.PENANAVG5D2nF5DQ
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAVMAFkRapPd
282Please respect copyright.PENANAS5GpuYCIEE
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAaUZ9TL3d7U
282Please respect copyright.PENANAXTrROe41s9
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAE1gQWcNsBc
282Please respect copyright.PENANA31gLHuWa8v
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANA6nJZPSgval
282Please respect copyright.PENANAQAgkcGfsBZ
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.282Please respect copyright.PENANA9MX4QK6nRn
282Please respect copyright.PENANAUSlnQFbR3o
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAVFgmLqSDVt
282Please respect copyright.PENANA3lhhk7aBGE
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 282Please respect copyright.PENANATWwqiQH6fv
282Please respect copyright.PENANAowChNqYAMB
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANA3HHCPK2Gmc
282Please respect copyright.PENANASeJrcob23l
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAOPh1JXNGyq
282Please respect copyright.PENANADn1jSUZKqt
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAxfwBrZKICv
282Please respect copyright.PENANAD0OojNbTOZ
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAZYtJUxlKAp
282Please respect copyright.PENANAPjSRjVsD8H
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANABygB6EISUc
282Please respect copyright.PENANAvPXqQ4wOKB
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAH49H4nW09B
282Please respect copyright.PENANAALzU5XQQsN
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.282Please respect copyright.PENANAMyRCpxvsCO
282Please respect copyright.PENANAbUKPX6VFbT
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.282Please respect copyright.PENANAkV8JdA4A9k
282Please respect copyright.PENANArCAlfEx9ho
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.282Please respect copyright.PENANADnT6iOBpak
282Please respect copyright.PENANAOozPDxrLqY
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAOTdTL6iYef
282Please respect copyright.PENANAxkSjEZH3M3
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAWVPLEsAdAM
282Please respect copyright.PENANARxGyN3zpR1
Fucking asshole.282Please respect copyright.PENANAdTkTpPvsRm
282Please respect copyright.PENANAg1kb7hszcB
"Let's go, Roberta!"282Please respect copyright.PENANAWaLwOltZX7
282Please respect copyright.PENANAelbmcuQGc4
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.282Please respect copyright.PENANAu0bm7WxaW0
282Please respect copyright.PENANAgPy3cdJ6I6
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.282Please respect copyright.PENANA53ru78hGCh
282Please respect copyright.PENANAtY0dNpWUzL
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAsjm4Oc4Ev5
282Please respect copyright.PENANA37CDIFdCnk
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAtuYdx6ALpR
282Please respect copyright.PENANAYcjbg7QbiV
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."282Please respect copyright.PENANAZJaix7RLdX
282Please respect copyright.PENANA1yFzHgZpHJ
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"282Please respect copyright.PENANArduMwz2hyo
282Please respect copyright.PENANAn3injT4Pum
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."282Please respect copyright.PENANAMe5OEfvSDq
282Please respect copyright.PENANAWaChHE63BJ
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"282Please respect copyright.PENANAIxlN5twfej
282Please respect copyright.PENANA84WSpffBYM
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."282Please respect copyright.PENANAywEv7FUqDK
282Please respect copyright.PENANAML6vlQWpYH
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAg7AqmPshMh
282Please respect copyright.PENANAGOwWzPp2jo
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAwSxQdI6lhc
282Please respect copyright.PENANANL2aBMDhPC
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAIpyssjavO3
282Please respect copyright.PENANAeiPcsqYzg5
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"282Please respect copyright.PENANAPHqWpuYpNe
282Please respect copyright.PENANABVe9GJQLIZ
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAEEM9GQusvI
282Please respect copyright.PENANA0mUNU0grOV
"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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAbL9aZMDJxJ
282Please respect copyright.PENANAN5gfV8dc5E
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAhcUV4dlaa4
282Please respect copyright.PENANArhURuaiOLz
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.282Please respect copyright.PENANAXanRo1eXPH
282Please respect copyright.PENANAl8EMrLLYvq
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."282Please respect copyright.PENANAI0bV3E5tRe
282Please respect copyright.PENANA7BngxLgqYR
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.282Please respect copyright.PENANACh2Y38eCZ2
282Please respect copyright.PENANA5h9ViVMbEq
"The girls love it." He laughed.282Please respect copyright.PENANAgjqKRoIWUZ
282Please respect copyright.PENANAIlm922g2Xm
I blinked. "What?"282Please respect copyright.PENANACAV9zYY5rk
282Please respect copyright.PENANAwEwtTZgCRb
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."282Please respect copyright.PENANAQcw0Jc2UB0
282Please respect copyright.PENANAxTcV4dZW5o
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"282Please respect copyright.PENANAiartvLz50c
282Please respect copyright.PENANAIqajXP4MxO
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAiAxFGWcZh8
282Please respect copyright.PENANA2rvG5USBQk
"Ma'am?"282Please respect copyright.PENANAMABLBK3gdW
282Please respect copyright.PENANAomhTf67745
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.282Please respect copyright.PENANAd57oqj3eZc
282Please respect copyright.PENANA1bbqYCAtWR
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAKTLpoZiErs
282Please respect copyright.PENANAKTzgcNZPYU
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 282Please respect copyright.PENANAYCF68vnuYO
282Please respect copyright.PENANAg7SYldDsV0
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAZQKJxddDKe
282Please respect copyright.PENANAC4qgH5hc6e
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.282Please respect copyright.PENANApVoZLerKAG
282Please respect copyright.PENANAb6MH7W8q2X
"Beautiful hands."282Please respect copyright.PENANAW6AHcTBcj7
282Please respect copyright.PENANARt34yeHS7y
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.282Please respect copyright.PENANAHDAdHtxU96
282Please respect copyright.PENANAA8Rsfw3U7O
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAhuPOAaEuLK
282Please respect copyright.PENANASgUdnBnnRT
"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."282Please respect copyright.PENANAGzBwugnvQw
282Please respect copyright.PENANAUPw7o8tYtQ
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."282Please respect copyright.PENANAgbIx4aX7Wb
282Please respect copyright.PENANAYtR55SFEnX
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."282Please respect copyright.PENANAucaagM8Dlu
282Please respect copyright.PENANAB72Wou44lH
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.282Please respect copyright.PENANAK7o1IuQ9IO
282Please respect copyright.PENANACTKSdZnnm3
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."282Please respect copyright.PENANARkytxuRmRE
282Please respect copyright.PENANAKL0nC5Ckka
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."282Please respect copyright.PENANA9FDlMXKZz4
282Please respect copyright.PENANARBfgjcFFJK
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"282Please respect copyright.PENANAMO8oZm8DBn
282Please respect copyright.PENANANJW2LlKEKp
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."282Please respect copyright.PENANALWB4VmkGYA
282Please respect copyright.PENANALtRv6Wqx3b
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."282Please respect copyright.PENANA2vU2EHNakQ
282Please respect copyright.PENANAfgigU5nyAm
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"282Please respect copyright.PENANAAOL4miA7r9
282Please respect copyright.PENANAc6GUuCge9Y
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."282Please respect copyright.PENANAoKUZPj4a1E
282Please respect copyright.PENANADOXTnj5yjN
"And Carlos?"282Please respect copyright.PENANAN4sQ2ztkYH
282Please respect copyright.PENANAs9XwGSfdfY
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.282Please respect copyright.PENANAp84BPIuMi0
282Please respect copyright.PENANA9NeX4m7x8q
"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.282Please respect copyright.PENANA95bEedAxbi
282Please respect copyright.PENANAcFx47hHlkh
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.282Please respect copyright.PENANAOh4oyWJIVg
282Please respect copyright.PENANAJAfbaIGIms
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.282Please respect copyright.PENANAXLAcgBDYPi
282Please respect copyright.PENANArDq04EIwwx
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."282Please respect copyright.PENANAHc8ZOAHIHu
282Please respect copyright.PENANAc4H2oOtVor
"Curious, I guess."282Please respect copyright.PENANAuY2pQrY6q3
282Please respect copyright.PENANAWeIG13Rq9R
"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."282Please respect copyright.PENANAe0r08ncTr3
282Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8ciBMbL9j
"Oh, I'll surprise you."282Please respect copyright.PENANAeitNAQDlLj
282Please respect copyright.PENANAZezBAnxfa1
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."282Please respect copyright.PENANAWxmhOwbdox
282Please respect copyright.PENANA1FkgiYtmHh
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"282Please respect copyright.PENANAkRUbnRAUUD
282Please respect copyright.PENANAbVTp98UgAn
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."282Please respect copyright.PENANA1zvoBXVo7p
282Please respect copyright.PENANATcyEGdmts4
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.282Please respect copyright.PENANAwCfQ6qm3IR
282Please respect copyright.PENANAYNAnUky6uF
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."282Please respect copyright.PENANAa2AIp789PZ
282Please respect copyright.PENANAwiVzOzggIh
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.282Please respect copyright.PENANAi1dDxnP18f
282Please respect copyright.PENANAtPY9PyRQLD
"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."282Please respect copyright.PENANAjXPa0fPh34
282Please respect copyright.PENANAipWQrSgpCC
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."282Please respect copyright.PENANAQdZrpnmrKE
282Please respect copyright.PENANAPWzvLLrD1C
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."282Please respect copyright.PENANARvDVfK89bH
282Please respect copyright.PENANAmQ8hCDfNCl
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAHzNbgNcIrQ
282Please respect copyright.PENANAnaAvJIRV5Z
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAy2eXqPTLJv
282Please respect copyright.PENANAwGigrx80Tj
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."282Please respect copyright.PENANA8kwAtz11YR
282Please respect copyright.PENANAqnMwIreOHH
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.282Please respect copyright.PENANAPq0YSnetbJ
282Please respect copyright.PENANAEKmostgwlC
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."282Please respect copyright.PENANAMyKofwn6nC
282Please respect copyright.PENANAYuAFeN1iqC
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."282Please respect copyright.PENANAXhBdd59csE
282Please respect copyright.PENANAX7fhx9Um6f
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."282Please respect copyright.PENANA1DRFNywgS3
282Please respect copyright.PENANAxMJRAbVCEB
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.282Please respect copyright.PENANAGfaEvitraQ
282Please respect copyright.PENANAmMS8ehpuoM
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.282Please respect copyright.PENANAkITYULZN3V
282Please respect copyright.PENANAA35Il2tMtF
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.282Please respect copyright.PENANAB0D7XQksHc
282Please respect copyright.PENANAUi2PLfsmoX
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.282Please respect copyright.PENANAoIMkr9NKjv
282Please respect copyright.PENANA1SBbEIB0qI
