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
