That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 308Please respect copyright.PENANACbv2p2Z9U8
308Please respect copyright.PENANAtuKeRq8AQL
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.308Please respect copyright.PENANA2LWHOnuhOm
308Please respect copyright.PENANAafZJZEzFx7
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAHrEwwVnGBm
308Please respect copyright.PENANAAkgJFxIIj8
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!308Please respect copyright.PENANA4QkGcHWayn
308Please respect copyright.PENANAvVAtz0qPMi
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAjnDVy9GSrA
308Please respect copyright.PENANAdPE2kpEgFi
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAPauCg5VWiW
308Please respect copyright.PENANAv7SKOJ4vK4
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAjeqH0DEraY
308Please respect copyright.PENANA0m1u4F1Rfp
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAJNOMc4x45f
308Please respect copyright.PENANATJbyHxxcvS
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.308Please respect copyright.PENANAagKgr9ACsN
308Please respect copyright.PENANALq8niRcYDw
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANA2vg0iB6YdY
308Please respect copyright.PENANAaDUKqRZDDJ
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 308Please respect copyright.PENANATG5UQ5RL2E
308Please respect copyright.PENANAtd7pNeoLyt
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAL4MwxM8ZcQ
308Please respect copyright.PENANArcmUhryAn8
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAGsJwagTi8d
308Please respect copyright.PENANAcHKDALrhMW
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAopFkl6EvlY
308Please respect copyright.PENANACFzxdH7mMO
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAI0tmiG1tRW
308Please respect copyright.PENANAEm7YIuD9w6
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAXltkoNsaHL
308Please respect copyright.PENANA55pI2IW3W8
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAXmEtqjBepw
308Please respect copyright.PENANAitwuVLbZt3
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.308Please respect copyright.PENANAJDbltwkRlY
308Please respect copyright.PENANAqPoEeWWTbC
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.308Please respect copyright.PENANAGGxFIz7KMc
308Please respect copyright.PENANA6t425mt1rN
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.308Please respect copyright.PENANAuG0BzGkA9X
308Please respect copyright.PENANA9eK6VcKS2v
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANALlQPMLoEJD
308Please respect copyright.PENANA4A045F99ZF
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANA0607Hf4Jx0
308Please respect copyright.PENANAOymO0L0Dtp
Fucking asshole.308Please respect copyright.PENANA1ePWgB4LgT
308Please respect copyright.PENANAseFbyuBbke
"Let's go, Roberta!"308Please respect copyright.PENANAR1COMuQk78
308Please respect copyright.PENANAsuVCLB7LJ4
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.308Please respect copyright.PENANAuga8XnEXnq
308Please respect copyright.PENANAYpPvMTPvls
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.308Please respect copyright.PENANAphzwwhPdQJ
308Please respect copyright.PENANAgInRaR9rbe
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAOBRhFNWTOf
308Please respect copyright.PENANAOzDeoXEOVu
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANA0czu34rjQS
308Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2WGUfEnB9
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."308Please respect copyright.PENANAa8xEa5ILaX
308Please respect copyright.PENANA6SwaCY6b5O
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"308Please respect copyright.PENANA5Un0znEtlp
308Please respect copyright.PENANACTTHeL768l
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."308Please respect copyright.PENANA0ueLGAHAMl
308Please respect copyright.PENANAewauctesjR
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAFPF5RKT3XD
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzycDYOI02O
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."308Please respect copyright.PENANAyFnS4yw8hT
308Please respect copyright.PENANABW2BJDKu75
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAtPss5c0v4C
308Please respect copyright.PENANAYbfOPN40kV
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAwNE5Kyfw8D
308Please respect copyright.PENANA2d3XQ9LJTA
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAlT2aylmJnz
308Please respect copyright.PENANAdJvZFqp64p
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"308Please respect copyright.PENANA2NxCNqRjvn
308Please respect copyright.PENANASgxGiqi7Z1
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAIGXPj51kCO
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzCEnfg0SbG
"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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAFrqCxcUoTF
308Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZiU7rrn72
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAKwmBqTE4A7
308Please respect copyright.PENANAdyT1xqgEc5
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.308Please respect copyright.PENANAe2nJG1Kk1x
308Please respect copyright.PENANAdnWmbU3Vdh
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."308Please respect copyright.PENANASlJHcZOjkR
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzLiBt0mV5S
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.308Please respect copyright.PENANALqMlbHEKTx
308Please respect copyright.PENANAai8YgD8fE4
"The girls love it." He laughed.308Please respect copyright.PENANAx1NUySfKJl
308Please respect copyright.PENANAi1xXwpQad0
I blinked. "What?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAi5DDpTTulD
308Please respect copyright.PENANARGEBFInEfF
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."308Please respect copyright.PENANA1sFdO5lw25
308Please respect copyright.PENANAArug3yhNaF
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAJsYboqheRC
308Please respect copyright.PENANAK4gu4KSVec
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAYQTZ1dkie2
308Please respect copyright.PENANAWlUuYY8a5z
"Ma'am?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAnm0fPJew9Y
308Please respect copyright.PENANAejgGujTF8N
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.308Please respect copyright.PENANAXoFs8bf2pO
308Please respect copyright.PENANAEVobFWD8rY
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAHZNBKiAuix
308Please respect copyright.PENANAoJCNqgvKgK
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 308Please respect copyright.PENANAIJlM9yGYKy
308Please respect copyright.PENANAY1m0vjs5Up
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAK9bTAaImwH
308Please respect copyright.PENANAoyEVqIBtuf
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.308Please respect copyright.PENANATntAZbw4aa
308Please respect copyright.PENANAEY7QpSZZBF
"Beautiful hands."308Please respect copyright.PENANAfmEPEpoSaH
308Please respect copyright.PENANASuVzkaW7YM
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.308Please respect copyright.PENANALuOE4GvIZp
308Please respect copyright.PENANAVtRqgkBqYI
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAnAN91oAOzy
308Please respect copyright.PENANAKTeKobWHli
"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."308Please respect copyright.PENANAFxmjgvY4eZ
308Please respect copyright.PENANAXEe4zVKCE4
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."308Please respect copyright.PENANAjz07VZrrKC
308Please respect copyright.PENANA8RusjDm5Zz
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."308Please respect copyright.PENANAFk5SaxxIkX
308Please respect copyright.PENANAgw5wByjghn
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.308Please respect copyright.PENANAuuBtbtBumZ
308Please respect copyright.PENANAjBHdfpdTtc
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."308Please respect copyright.PENANAdcGFyCKgFH
308Please respect copyright.PENANAaGqXZr8ynh
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."308Please respect copyright.PENANAdST5SkaM3J
308Please respect copyright.PENANAFYi4rRbFG7
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"308Please respect copyright.PENANA9720MKXZNu
308Please respect copyright.PENANAHXLt9yJfhU
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."308Please respect copyright.PENANAiqd5N3orrl
308Please respect copyright.PENANApfywVbhms5
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."308Please respect copyright.PENANAtWB9AX2fs9
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzfxHU4oNdH
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"308Please respect copyright.PENANADaCUMQEyDX
308Please respect copyright.PENANABwICayGydx
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."308Please respect copyright.PENANAIYKaF5mj4f
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZfU8la3gFA
"And Carlos?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAJTUkrMIY8t
308Please respect copyright.PENANA0PRlxvIebJ
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.308Please respect copyright.PENANAmNspDXdtUO
308Please respect copyright.PENANAIDMOAANCRm
"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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAySPbF2KedO
308Please respect copyright.PENANAUswJoTTGsj
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.308Please respect copyright.PENANApSONcQUgPd
308Please respect copyright.PENANAUrrXWblic3
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.308Please respect copyright.PENANAGugEtsloP5
308Please respect copyright.PENANAq0VKvqGBLn
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."308Please respect copyright.PENANAXegtRpz1Df
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZfqTOHvkCk
"Curious, I guess."308Please respect copyright.PENANAT191jn9jO0
308Please respect copyright.PENANAt5P88N71hd
"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."308Please respect copyright.PENANAk3tSYiYaTj
308Please respect copyright.PENANA864OjmrdSe
"Oh, I'll surprise you."308Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5M7J2rxIk
308Please respect copyright.PENANAY1zZYj2h4m
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."308Please respect copyright.PENANAezoZ1UIO86
308Please respect copyright.PENANA5nkXVjlfAF
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAUWeqhsHOh9
308Please respect copyright.PENANAxBZ6qnZunq
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."308Please respect copyright.PENANAcyhAKQPuql
308Please respect copyright.PENANA5nmBqSG6Qi
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.308Please respect copyright.PENANA3Yr5GZc1j7
308Please respect copyright.PENANAKRfVa2ojwh
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."308Please respect copyright.PENANAfUsgAgzdHk
308Please respect copyright.PENANAgbAlmdp8QQ
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.308Please respect copyright.PENANAwmivyYhKfo
308Please respect copyright.PENANAAtryGpshGf
"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."308Please respect copyright.PENANANHBttou0tT
308Please respect copyright.PENANAYS7gHEVspw
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."308Please respect copyright.PENANAbNLF0xiYkO
308Please respect copyright.PENANAYg1Xi6LvAx
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."308Please respect copyright.PENANAFQuFND4lgi
308Please respect copyright.PENANAHPGnj4RBC4
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANA5itAv4NOob
308Please respect copyright.PENANA6UEbbaHOZc
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAQTtENiehX3
308Please respect copyright.PENANAwJeM5FaJea
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."308Please respect copyright.PENANA3n4ZSp7iid
308Please respect copyright.PENANAvMHt8uZ9ol
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.308Please respect copyright.PENANAlSgFJBa8i3
308Please respect copyright.PENANA0qDML1DKVZ
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."308Please respect copyright.PENANAe9P6f5rjvm
308Please respect copyright.PENANAMxulCAU2L9
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."308Please respect copyright.PENANAPAyqzeNiMH
308Please respect copyright.PENANAI28sIpFOGo
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."308Please respect copyright.PENANA16cKoRMWcd
308Please respect copyright.PENANAGsipSEZv0Z
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.308Please respect copyright.PENANAR8l3gAxlSo
308Please respect copyright.PENANA13FJDanrGL
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.308Please respect copyright.PENANAbA1wU4QU44
308Please respect copyright.PENANANxChXSrjMi
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.308Please respect copyright.PENANALHS4QbjRDK
308Please respect copyright.PENANAwX6Hf8LDeV
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.308Please respect copyright.PENANARyHG1m4yBT
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzt9mWu47gg
