That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 335Please respect copyright.PENANAOzzT2KenwA
335Please respect copyright.PENANADfJJg8YD2D
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.335Please respect copyright.PENANAsWlwoK9jVb
335Please respect copyright.PENANAvCQhmb3S0I
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANA6qdO6MwVTT
335Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5OsQu0Q9E
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!335Please respect copyright.PENANAFDDPNw2F7c
335Please respect copyright.PENANATwDT8DnT2h
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANA7LQcwuZgqi
335Please respect copyright.PENANAv4qdWASbnK
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANA18LhsHTNs9
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjbsgJ1ZKPN
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAEE9HxEySH4
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9UiGY3GL8I
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAFf7YCLxbnZ
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1GGOsQUM1A
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.335Please respect copyright.PENANADgvKHUDP8j
335Please respect copyright.PENANAUiBmLo3zjA
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ23oBEF8d
335Please respect copyright.PENANAoordo0mm9X
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 335Please respect copyright.PENANArFdb0hn8J6
335Please respect copyright.PENANAEJgYJhfF6K
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAA1q8LupbUU
335Please respect copyright.PENANA2kod27Fd5l
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAg5n3iivhxL
335Please respect copyright.PENANAFhDwFUUyox
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANARJyQaSbqXv
335Please respect copyright.PENANAsy6Ffj3wE2
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAOVayoVwY4u
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmnbhqn6jHr
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAX6Kc3QUOb0
335Please respect copyright.PENANA29pA4MNSso
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAV0gQWARkAV
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9y8MuIOi9s
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.335Please respect copyright.PENANAqE2FWHfyee
335Please respect copyright.PENANANotWj2VnlK
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.335Please respect copyright.PENANArftUTtD10A
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9LAzkWASUX
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.335Please respect copyright.PENANAwapAA3ki23
335Please respect copyright.PENANAOz9pnUVr7v
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAoGgI86ssR6
335Please respect copyright.PENANAFjN4Ph3Vlp
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANASY2TXUCxwe
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjCsBWZaK2N
Fucking asshole.335Please respect copyright.PENANACOvPw6OoR8
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbSPBSoWbAG
"Let's go, Roberta!"335Please respect copyright.PENANAUQhWSJRH5v
335Please respect copyright.PENANAxNVJvicKoS
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.335Please respect copyright.PENANA3DFfDSiFRK
335Please respect copyright.PENANAj7HMmacllM
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.335Please respect copyright.PENANAhR8JHg8KPF
335Please respect copyright.PENANAAwS50Gm5f7
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAhTAzUDypgC
335Please respect copyright.PENANAPsGEKfEB7N
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAh9pk3Rm0kr
335Please respect copyright.PENANAakJTVbfwmk
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."335Please respect copyright.PENANAN9XT4qqWik
335Please respect copyright.PENANAFOvk45H4GX
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"335Please respect copyright.PENANASUlnJBO6xc
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZmV01BFhqw
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."335Please respect copyright.PENANAHvSfmLsPAo
335Please respect copyright.PENANADZvbNpj6bg
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"335Please respect copyright.PENANAgf93fNvG5L
335Please respect copyright.PENANARrhSLwia7B
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."335Please respect copyright.PENANAyW7L8gQ59V
335Please respect copyright.PENANAM4KSECeMU1
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAOIKm8dggOj
335Please respect copyright.PENANAn9Dv20FdUy
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAgygZlBbivn
335Please respect copyright.PENANAEAA3WVsfpK
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAYDkR2VDEDM
335Please respect copyright.PENANAAQI2TtPT7l
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"335Please respect copyright.PENANA5o1J4otjGB
335Please respect copyright.PENANAOCOZdyHuM0
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANADE0odU35YQ
335Please respect copyright.PENANADU67SLCHeu
"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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAG0nsRHA5nN
335Please respect copyright.PENANAwA5dFMC3Vh
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANABcAoYaRoyX
335Please respect copyright.PENANAXcKEbCpCUI
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.335Please respect copyright.PENANAUUl4clCAgx
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHcN7tOQdSb
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."335Please respect copyright.PENANAaDHLjoKely
335Please respect copyright.PENANA65iGoN61cG
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.335Please respect copyright.PENANAaAZGZjVSSZ
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjtYspN6UWW
"The girls love it." He laughed.335Please respect copyright.PENANASjM569CCK8
335Please respect copyright.PENANAvlI17INHge
I blinked. "What?"335Please respect copyright.PENANAoNIzk6biet
335Please respect copyright.PENANAq03WOoHbxv
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."335Please respect copyright.PENANAKdnAsfWHrM
335Please respect copyright.PENANAC8WnXTyC5y
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"335Please respect copyright.PENANAWw4IBsYLKV
335Please respect copyright.PENANATvrTYwSHgk
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANA5VYCzJG8py
335Please respect copyright.PENANAyMuvWNiM7N
"Ma'am?"335Please respect copyright.PENANAeX81YLx3bv
335Please respect copyright.PENANAKOaq71prWk
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.335Please respect copyright.PENANALRnlrX9h0A
335Please respect copyright.PENANAqO1FJEdmXJ
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAxXhu5nBnzH
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5qLpBccCAz
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 335Please respect copyright.PENANAym9gY05Nxe
335Please respect copyright.PENANACJPH0bxDQh
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAldKNPl8Hcb
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9YGZIW57wf
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.335Please respect copyright.PENANAeTPLX9wW0S
335Please respect copyright.PENANAepjElBo0eW
"Beautiful hands."335Please respect copyright.PENANART2VoaqlpR
335Please respect copyright.PENANATpRSYkw9sA
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.335Please respect copyright.PENANAFjwvCUiWwQ
335Please respect copyright.PENANAwitSdRkuPo
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANARS20VkZ0It
335Please respect copyright.PENANADDqNl0b20t
"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."335Please respect copyright.PENANA6o4McVNHei
335Please respect copyright.PENANAC9W9ef6Qzf
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."335Please respect copyright.PENANAZvwwvqS0st
335Please respect copyright.PENANAWoJpFWtOrJ
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."335Please respect copyright.PENANATM6Aj0HvFw
335Please respect copyright.PENANARbQ2bpWp3L
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.335Please respect copyright.PENANADQ0IUrqFmg
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbdgDNadRfj
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."335Please respect copyright.PENANAC0fuaZ3MtG
335Please respect copyright.PENANADz0VWefXkv
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."335Please respect copyright.PENANAVAjyf65lwI
335Please respect copyright.PENANArhvTWwVWmA
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"335Please respect copyright.PENANASPrpEHqu9l
335Please respect copyright.PENANA14IaWV3cVw
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."335Please respect copyright.PENANAd8ChYENEFx
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdVUNwxTj1i
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."335Please respect copyright.PENANAgAf8X7xxKz
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmRe9DeApvp
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"335Please respect copyright.PENANAfrj7lL0PX7
335Please respect copyright.PENANAflJA7WxpRM
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."335Please respect copyright.PENANAOTvJjzai9z
335Please respect copyright.PENANASWYIIQyvyQ
"And Carlos?"335Please respect copyright.PENANAsRTf2gJjjp
335Please respect copyright.PENANAV0wbCYsVvw
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.335Please respect copyright.PENANAXRGXf7UQ0p
335Please respect copyright.PENANAPbPeiMNZlr
"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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAcKfZDHsMBA
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGn5AXPouCf
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.335Please respect copyright.PENANA0v92t3lcd9
335Please respect copyright.PENANADnUVxD8PF7
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.335Please respect copyright.PENANAjGlBUpAyql
335Please respect copyright.PENANAqsqRKojYjq
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."335Please respect copyright.PENANAoVABzmASEC
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHLzvNAXm6N
"Curious, I guess."335Please respect copyright.PENANAx06aEmUByA
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9CKMzgkaTO
"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."335Please respect copyright.PENANAqaVQunGc2l
335Please respect copyright.PENANAVEn6Wss54g
"Oh, I'll surprise you."335Please respect copyright.PENANAO5JJ9AiRkz
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYvGBDoDtv7
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."335Please respect copyright.PENANA08KcekdvGV
335Please respect copyright.PENANANnVHFJGnVZ
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"335Please respect copyright.PENANAuFBn92kDmB
335Please respect copyright.PENANAuEk91xYjW2
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."335Please respect copyright.PENANA416T8WiJa0
335Please respect copyright.PENANAA6f1578JED
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.335Please respect copyright.PENANA9zCuDXDhfC
335Please respect copyright.PENANArIjzBpGNK6
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."335Please respect copyright.PENANAVSFyGlgaHC
335Please respect copyright.PENANALuolkKHpZp
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.335Please respect copyright.PENANA1rJrjTuFdo
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGcCGSfCzMj
"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."335Please respect copyright.PENANAh4oIStlV6Z
335Please respect copyright.PENANAIgsL89S1Rv
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."335Please respect copyright.PENANAJF5xgTG8Px
335Please respect copyright.PENANABI1hHXMcah
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."335Please respect copyright.PENANAqjYXdk8Gm2
335Please respect copyright.PENANAtNbtGEjDTk
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAht8OfbnXPX
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHs7dHj0L96
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.335Please respect copyright.PENANAtLRAmNjD6r
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfntNIl3SVd
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."335Please respect copyright.PENANAG6bMZU2xzK
335Please respect copyright.PENANA7QMTaj906M
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.335Please respect copyright.PENANAaFeLVCFUAs
335Please respect copyright.PENANAl24y4BXFMT
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."335Please respect copyright.PENANAC3WWK6hsv9
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3rZE6QRqvG
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."335Please respect copyright.PENANA6CSVjL7fg2
335Please respect copyright.PENANAWphu0UW9ym
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."335Please respect copyright.PENANAcFW41alxIe
335Please respect copyright.PENANAA5amGZSB0g
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.335Please respect copyright.PENANAOtO0e1delA
335Please respect copyright.PENANABGEeqw2Otb
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.335Please respect copyright.PENANANM6JgtO1TN
335Please respect copyright.PENANAhO2brhdhrB
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.335Please respect copyright.PENANATgfKOGsz7k
335Please respect copyright.PENANAwPE2tu24CQ
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.335Please respect copyright.PENANA8GWLHUBJpV
335Please respect copyright.PENANA57z5M1gKCO
