That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 291Please respect copyright.PENANAI0uTm0W6aC
291Please respect copyright.PENANAX5VSldFa5e
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.291Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vgl5WHaLn
291Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4cbR59O0s
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAfefrNxIbLe
291Please respect copyright.PENANAhBdK2BGxHx
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!291Please respect copyright.PENANA8g3IyvQAi5
291Please respect copyright.PENANAqqM0nIh3PL
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANA76cghJYuMJ
291Please respect copyright.PENANAcqc67Q9nQ2
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1SFObL6Kc
291Please respect copyright.PENANAN6wcz4D4Xa
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAtA8zXmvaTY
291Please respect copyright.PENANAhfaAq8MdkA
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAsdItqyVqB9
291Please respect copyright.PENANAejsLEThzeN
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.291Please respect copyright.PENANAyl2Wf61CuI
291Please respect copyright.PENANAPmGWIRNBUA
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAiAxPzgQeW1
291Please respect copyright.PENANA36S46EsbnC
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 291Please respect copyright.PENANAFgvqcC6YX7
291Please respect copyright.PENANAyWE6oelZCb
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAXakApfWTN5
291Please respect copyright.PENANAObOCZs52PB
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANALSdfV5ombZ
291Please respect copyright.PENANAN6a9xayhrz
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAAjvIO7MP9I
291Please respect copyright.PENANAcxamFg1Qid
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAbOzFqjXt6W
291Please respect copyright.PENANAN6WIRVhQQ4
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAhGZffVxwmq
291Please respect copyright.PENANA0NqY3BUXji
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANARFe18vyEad
291Please respect copyright.PENANAxudIAeANwl
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.291Please respect copyright.PENANAwGuDeajRBN
291Please respect copyright.PENANAT4bV5q6dwz
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.291Please respect copyright.PENANAzMpIYf0QBS
291Please respect copyright.PENANAQoFSabG8Sd
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.291Please respect copyright.PENANAsI6QSyBgZg
291Please respect copyright.PENANAwSvMLtxZwT
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAgZiGXujeUW
291Please respect copyright.PENANA5YSyuSb78T
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAg8HumLylQ5
291Please respect copyright.PENANAzzw5kJpd65
Fucking asshole.291Please respect copyright.PENANAq4jVCFSQ1h
291Please respect copyright.PENANADL6TRNbv5a
"Let's go, Roberta!"291Please respect copyright.PENANAndwieHNvWh
291Please respect copyright.PENANARVpcCt6z0h
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.291Please respect copyright.PENANAUKEnRM1PRL
291Please respect copyright.PENANA2zZmjDt981
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.291Please respect copyright.PENANAefWj5nMY2q
291Please respect copyright.PENANAH8nQN31lDX
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAx0oxj1sdXS
291Please respect copyright.PENANAarxuB5LSpv
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAjVpoZWrkw9
291Please respect copyright.PENANA0moCRFi5Su
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."291Please respect copyright.PENANAp4AmRY7oQV
291Please respect copyright.PENANAijWtKwwjcK
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"291Please respect copyright.PENANAm0tvp6p0KV
291Please respect copyright.PENANA28dua3DPlC
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."291Please respect copyright.PENANAu3PExkKPrB
291Please respect copyright.PENANAk7ToAY7ioQ
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"291Please respect copyright.PENANA72HkRZrsaw
291Please respect copyright.PENANAwyqFbf9yal
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."291Please respect copyright.PENANAT6Rs1q38Rp
291Please respect copyright.PENANAi8pYQJPFoH
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANA6caHn82Kgj
291Please respect copyright.PENANAchDJ4ncCE8
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANA5ETS196c2W
291Please respect copyright.PENANApG3nc6Tfs8
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAyLf88U24ml
291Please respect copyright.PENANAGivEBsNkkr
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"291Please respect copyright.PENANAmNjKpvzERp
291Please respect copyright.PENANADT8kSxDVOj
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAmT38P7svJK
291Please respect copyright.PENANAEEzaHoBbH0
"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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAmTrrZX9gOS
291Please respect copyright.PENANAQAP3MT4SjD
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANApCOi4ZFXIi
291Please respect copyright.PENANAkOzagHxCHF
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.291Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5FgByIU4p
291Please respect copyright.PENANAfA1aMCCS9X
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."291Please respect copyright.PENANABjm0KX1NGy
291Please respect copyright.PENANAhTnLh2Ea9X
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.291Please respect copyright.PENANABLtDY6Wpus
291Please respect copyright.PENANAVdiASt0puC
"The girls love it." He laughed.291Please respect copyright.PENANAO0J8Pio02A
291Please respect copyright.PENANAFA4q9meJXl
I blinked. "What?"291Please respect copyright.PENANAnZGKoAK61e
291Please respect copyright.PENANA4KFZ41wD9M
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."291Please respect copyright.PENANAqVmWfeQLal
291Please respect copyright.PENANAWN0lSLleCV
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"291Please respect copyright.PENANAKFeqNjfmu9
291Please respect copyright.PENANA8Sg2PBBLWq
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANA8KMXS5wjDe
291Please respect copyright.PENANAgPMSDZ9HOW
"Ma'am?"291Please respect copyright.PENANAvxUXDXtqTr
291Please respect copyright.PENANAENZxGsmcP9
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.291Please respect copyright.PENANAAHX7IMDKtl
291Please respect copyright.PENANAFfbcU70T1l
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANA1m8sMBppQD
291Please respect copyright.PENANAA0BvPvqDdQ
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 291Please respect copyright.PENANAFwdosYmBvY
291Please respect copyright.PENANAys3rN70XqU
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAo3zwvrvybN
291Please respect copyright.PENANAkGa8bnBgi3
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.291Please respect copyright.PENANAo6uoRglsuo
291Please respect copyright.PENANAYAe0vw8Aec
"Beautiful hands."291Please respect copyright.PENANAgcvPcQEwr5
291Please respect copyright.PENANAYXRzAtXe8K
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.291Please respect copyright.PENANA08DeENUaEK
291Please respect copyright.PENANA73lJIZe5Z6
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAH1ZFCfLWwc
291Please respect copyright.PENANA00QYLukc8X
"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."291Please respect copyright.PENANAzTZq5GCpE5
291Please respect copyright.PENANAZYgBxNtWTw
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."291Please respect copyright.PENANAvK8zE5EDGs
291Please respect copyright.PENANAc2ngMIhdiQ
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."291Please respect copyright.PENANAqLPiosqc87
291Please respect copyright.PENANAQBDIN9Gvp6
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.291Please respect copyright.PENANA1kSLZO0bf2
291Please respect copyright.PENANAJYrKMxgMQK
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."291Please respect copyright.PENANAtjovv02CaR
291Please respect copyright.PENANAEMNuAi8Bw8
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."291Please respect copyright.PENANAn6JoCFt681
291Please respect copyright.PENANALnJrXB9t68
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"291Please respect copyright.PENANAdLuEW5jMFJ
291Please respect copyright.PENANAsKUtrzDz28
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."291Please respect copyright.PENANAW7V1cIiIfl
291Please respect copyright.PENANA0MP4IsVI1K
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."291Please respect copyright.PENANAM5kvjHjhak
291Please respect copyright.PENANAGrZDjkzair
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"291Please respect copyright.PENANAQCWq6E8kZF
291Please respect copyright.PENANAgHRL6PQC0I
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."291Please respect copyright.PENANAVhRBdC5jAI
291Please respect copyright.PENANAt7ygwO5dsG
"And Carlos?"291Please respect copyright.PENANArR8RucIrbG
291Please respect copyright.PENANA5foeyOppbf
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.291Please respect copyright.PENANAlJymdFqc5G
291Please respect copyright.PENANAFBgWRQEWlO
"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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAQA8hFAcnXd
291Please respect copyright.PENANA7g6SH0iOJU
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.291Please respect copyright.PENANAKwpzmLoagD
291Please respect copyright.PENANA0pmw6bs3Sm
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.291Please respect copyright.PENANA379vXTWKDv
291Please respect copyright.PENANA3vQAK9jjIO
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."291Please respect copyright.PENANABVBizfSwlu
291Please respect copyright.PENANA7WXPfSEoJS
"Curious, I guess."291Please respect copyright.PENANA6sMuZYnyXB
291Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y9BqKwmyx
"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."291Please respect copyright.PENANALRreqdWwNX
291Please respect copyright.PENANAN28xgLKEW1
"Oh, I'll surprise you."291Please respect copyright.PENANAIWpg4vBair
291Please respect copyright.PENANAa2MWdv1A4b
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."291Please respect copyright.PENANA4bwId26IDo
291Please respect copyright.PENANA9gBEkjEr9Y
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"291Please respect copyright.PENANAmGGDEVmCVu
291Please respect copyright.PENANA5pSW8ZrJFa
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."291Please respect copyright.PENANARMIluz3zBq
291Please respect copyright.PENANAND5R1Dn2Zs
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.291Please respect copyright.PENANAFTYqGbU2FB
291Please respect copyright.PENANAYLhnDhi79U
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."291Please respect copyright.PENANAmyC49Vhb2W
291Please respect copyright.PENANAtV5OBGAX0J
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.291Please respect copyright.PENANAAbfauyh42i
291Please respect copyright.PENANArhS1QvaiDD
"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."291Please respect copyright.PENANA7U8900eeS5
291Please respect copyright.PENANAl5XjRkekvF
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."291Please respect copyright.PENANAKVReD8UT4s
291Please respect copyright.PENANA91A024ufOo
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."291Please respect copyright.PENANArl8yiN9gwo
291Please respect copyright.PENANAnnuFbDr0PS
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANA4DZ5mXJpk9
291Please respect copyright.PENANA8lfuBm1oXB
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.291Please respect copyright.PENANAQZm6SJiJJw
291Please respect copyright.PENANA9JbjSC3VE6
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."291Please respect copyright.PENANAdWq0tsvu7V
291Please respect copyright.PENANAZjreahLvq5
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.291Please respect copyright.PENANADXhQTvZK47
291Please respect copyright.PENANAaEetKP9OU9
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."291Please respect copyright.PENANAXs8mQsIhJZ
291Please respect copyright.PENANAXtOAuW19rN
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."291Please respect copyright.PENANAAYuvqSnZJs
291Please respect copyright.PENANAIEXJLgPvdD
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."291Please respect copyright.PENANAc5gravsY5a
291Please respect copyright.PENANA1OdpPLiRSP
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.291Please respect copyright.PENANAMXhBMZcUpZ
291Please respect copyright.PENANANVE1oU9mq4
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.291Please respect copyright.PENANA71FyRuCVe9
291Please respect copyright.PENANAhJP9gfFKdk
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.291Please respect copyright.PENANArUdLRSUqah
291Please respect copyright.PENANAC95nnnSpWw
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.291Please respect copyright.PENANApd5rLYTka5
291Please respect copyright.PENANA1BmRjtKZXe
