That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 421Please respect copyright.PENANAiN1dI6oWQP
421Please respect copyright.PENANARGwHtUgUKs
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.421Please respect copyright.PENANANfeCdOeVGi
421Please respect copyright.PENANAr1FiXSBW87
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANALCpZ8TjpY0
421Please respect copyright.PENANAXMtF4R6jQU
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!421Please respect copyright.PENANA1aeSHeGbR6
421Please respect copyright.PENANAipNQjjCspK
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANA2vauGqsjU4
421Please respect copyright.PENANAL8HChJJFKL
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAK8bGJvMwG6
421Please respect copyright.PENANAklRNhbM61Z
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAF3URZgBELR
421Please respect copyright.PENANANZGaDPgBBs
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAdNXneSHQy1
421Please respect copyright.PENANAbHjYF6S10y
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.421Please respect copyright.PENANAco2NotTW49
421Please respect copyright.PENANAiWcuNWXkC6
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAok5uKEM2Gk
421Please respect copyright.PENANAuYjuoQPsXb
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 421Please respect copyright.PENANAvHyibvsejp
421Please respect copyright.PENANAdFf2bn53gh
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANA8gwzPXxx4i
421Please respect copyright.PENANA5hYtlfowU5
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANA7iw6Oycz3w
421Please respect copyright.PENANADbAYGlfSUp
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAsb6AzaZabq
421Please respect copyright.PENANAUAwihJOxyz
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANA2yxkbARghN
421Please respect copyright.PENANAWOHtkkhMTe
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAI4PhqH20Be
421Please respect copyright.PENANAeX0tvdwkbU
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAdIwMiLGaug
421Please respect copyright.PENANAvayBCW9GXt
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.421Please respect copyright.PENANA4QKTTcLnaR
421Please respect copyright.PENANALUd8XNBl2k
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.421Please respect copyright.PENANAJRPFOPzOJZ
421Please respect copyright.PENANAmHOEb0bIuC
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.421Please respect copyright.PENANAlaQOCwquRF
421Please respect copyright.PENANAZzWGqoQNip
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAnNVUclgQOs
421Please respect copyright.PENANAN0WPGa6zOj
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAWO5UjyMx5l
421Please respect copyright.PENANA54mwXir6d3
Fucking asshole.421Please respect copyright.PENANAq0knVKdlQD
421Please respect copyright.PENANA8A2VXfnUgo
"Let's go, Roberta!"421Please respect copyright.PENANAQaiaKFZVez
421Please respect copyright.PENANACf2RT2EHgq
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.421Please respect copyright.PENANA6Im4jsjSLe
421Please respect copyright.PENANAIUKqEJkHFp
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.421Please respect copyright.PENANAtNTtp4scdq
421Please respect copyright.PENANAKmz7H8a3sq
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANADAAYCjFuFO
421Please respect copyright.PENANAcuqThRTTSM
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANA6fp8rreZ4v
421Please respect copyright.PENANAo7Iib4FwNS
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."421Please respect copyright.PENANAt0WKkiqTgA
421Please respect copyright.PENANAQrypITakBX
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"421Please respect copyright.PENANAgE4mUykTsh
421Please respect copyright.PENANACNQYI4Kfto
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."421Please respect copyright.PENANAYJuZRY7DMM
421Please respect copyright.PENANATROPfQSjgf
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"421Please respect copyright.PENANAakX3ENUmDI
421Please respect copyright.PENANA18Mv7cGWgI
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."421Please respect copyright.PENANAHRtn8jczDV
421Please respect copyright.PENANAyU67W6cIj7
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAOyUeE63jdt
421Please respect copyright.PENANA03ZdbWgkZA
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAl3DTYTkTgP
421Please respect copyright.PENANAA9TydrNDh9
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAMG0L9MYocx
421Please respect copyright.PENANAPsMd2qMAb8
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"421Please respect copyright.PENANAwHhEpXRrQG
421Please respect copyright.PENANAlrTDZbLFfF
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAmZdqGvqaSf
421Please respect copyright.PENANAzX3NqUCNoH
"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.421Please respect copyright.PENANA6VHakY595G
421Please respect copyright.PENANA46NZdsQbV8
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAqReCl00Da6
421Please respect copyright.PENANA0qxQq0wFb5
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.421Please respect copyright.PENANAop92TEEq9u
421Please respect copyright.PENANAzNwveTA1dr
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."421Please respect copyright.PENANA8qDnfyJrDv
421Please respect copyright.PENANA9yi2FLSap2
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.421Please respect copyright.PENANAdEV7Mx5tmr
421Please respect copyright.PENANAqDVBXfPbr2
"The girls love it." He laughed.421Please respect copyright.PENANAxGqOWYGqrL
421Please respect copyright.PENANAeixWjdZhNK
I blinked. "What?"421Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3fWbX6U0c
421Please respect copyright.PENANAiSD4akK4Wc
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."421Please respect copyright.PENANACXAFcrKUbz
421Please respect copyright.PENANAoiWnioM7HY
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"421Please respect copyright.PENANAezHZ74I6Pm
421Please respect copyright.PENANAfu4hcNMfpp
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANA1C5dbSBkrq
421Please respect copyright.PENANA2uKAp7BsA7
"Ma'am?"421Please respect copyright.PENANArPIUDQvWLM
421Please respect copyright.PENANAHyHgaSbrPJ
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.421Please respect copyright.PENANAFqNK494UIx
421Please respect copyright.PENANA7g4N77QcCB
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAarftJGzmeg
421Please respect copyright.PENANAPDPeh2GPU3
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 421Please respect copyright.PENANAmHVGMxqT3M
421Please respect copyright.PENANAZms7mZL10x
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAHX0MnAbzuj
421Please respect copyright.PENANA8kk8xAVLHi
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.421Please respect copyright.PENANAqvVGUUnLew
421Please respect copyright.PENANAE2SoeQuVZw
"Beautiful hands."421Please respect copyright.PENANA0XuDTxHO4d
421Please respect copyright.PENANA98zxMmpElt
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.421Please respect copyright.PENANAhDP9FXST2O
421Please respect copyright.PENANAC8UZP38VvI
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAwjLU9zWwcP
421Please respect copyright.PENANAg81Zphgruu
"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."421Please respect copyright.PENANAJL43ZEGoy9
421Please respect copyright.PENANAaRlxtruUlp
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."421Please respect copyright.PENANAAZXF9d1WMB
421Please respect copyright.PENANA2CoVAuDuvn
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."421Please respect copyright.PENANASguptxH3B3
421Please respect copyright.PENANApUp8GNYbLC
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.421Please respect copyright.PENANAJgmN1SkPxe
421Please respect copyright.PENANAj50ugAHJsy
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."421Please respect copyright.PENANAQcYTHcn1WB
421Please respect copyright.PENANAWDXf8mZhUA
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."421Please respect copyright.PENANAecPYKC5cNK
421Please respect copyright.PENANAHtrA5xjoAA
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"421Please respect copyright.PENANAtwwHYCM00l
421Please respect copyright.PENANArcOIah8jGl
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."421Please respect copyright.PENANAlSWeO07YFC
421Please respect copyright.PENANAHg3D78EgVv
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."421Please respect copyright.PENANAsOrTwZybbp
421Please respect copyright.PENANAGpusgbKgEd
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"421Please respect copyright.PENANAdy1FjJSsuv
421Please respect copyright.PENANA12OY5FZmA1
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."421Please respect copyright.PENANAH8CjsnP800
421Please respect copyright.PENANAodQzLioHta
"And Carlos?"421Please respect copyright.PENANAhmYvTcpBj0
421Please respect copyright.PENANAYSPKmhZCmO
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.421Please respect copyright.PENANAujRBekAMyD
421Please respect copyright.PENANAoOEZQiHkhc
"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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAVvKBUQ1zb0
421Please respect copyright.PENANAAgXp4ePtjU
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.421Please respect copyright.PENANA2eRAxrmL8q
421Please respect copyright.PENANA48OQ6uwSMA
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.421Please respect copyright.PENANAudiVymN5Am
421Please respect copyright.PENANAPEsQmF6sMp
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."421Please respect copyright.PENANA2wA4pVFBZU
421Please respect copyright.PENANAuzS1t7Xpt5
"Curious, I guess."421Please respect copyright.PENANA4qynxbIAJC
421Please respect copyright.PENANADz5uIihRML
"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."421Please respect copyright.PENANAFtDV6NxY5s
421Please respect copyright.PENANA126sBzCvPd
"Oh, I'll surprise you."421Please respect copyright.PENANAUjl0n3j4Sa
421Please respect copyright.PENANAgyxSHSYdjP
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."421Please respect copyright.PENANABYg1ShuO3v
421Please respect copyright.PENANA7qHmkd1RjK
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"421Please respect copyright.PENANAkcEUzhZDWE
421Please respect copyright.PENANAUIbNhJ09WU
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."421Please respect copyright.PENANAZAYy1G63CW
421Please respect copyright.PENANALpNr8Hcsih
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.421Please respect copyright.PENANAzQRgqXLyVf
421Please respect copyright.PENANAe6omRz34Tz
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."421Please respect copyright.PENANANNkpdyWEDj
421Please respect copyright.PENANAZxi6Ba1I7G
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.421Please respect copyright.PENANARAIGjZmg7I
421Please respect copyright.PENANARuKyVT23nZ
"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."421Please respect copyright.PENANAQgcY2sYQaX
421Please respect copyright.PENANAEFXcxfaaX1
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."421Please respect copyright.PENANA8e0OtWIAvg
421Please respect copyright.PENANAUCWHrUxGZ0
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."421Please respect copyright.PENANA1nYqhqdsUC
421Please respect copyright.PENANAGY8fmkoVwV
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAIKvxd1x1Ho
421Please respect copyright.PENANAxfZc0LPV7f
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAxRqCpWWUbZ
421Please respect copyright.PENANALAADvBscoe
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."421Please respect copyright.PENANAh1ynEN2X0a
421Please respect copyright.PENANAbZWpoc54EB
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.421Please respect copyright.PENANAuFoXInw4h4
421Please respect copyright.PENANAqx6xdAr2sf
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."421Please respect copyright.PENANASbmqzv01Ci
421Please respect copyright.PENANAjcR90KZqWV
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."421Please respect copyright.PENANA9owLzh9ZL1
421Please respect copyright.PENANAKKNjp3Mgut
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."421Please respect copyright.PENANAdC1CHj4T2V
421Please respect copyright.PENANAhG0jc2G8mE
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.421Please respect copyright.PENANA15bZ1QkwLM
421Please respect copyright.PENANAEJWKaEXBJW
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.421Please respect copyright.PENANAqZpN2l1a0u
421Please respect copyright.PENANAqTnNmXwSUL
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.421Please respect copyright.PENANAvfbV9zu7lR
421Please respect copyright.PENANAb9lOA5JK5h
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.421Please respect copyright.PENANABkusGVm5r3
421Please respect copyright.PENANAfk0RadBTrC
