That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKwEjgayjK
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWGDu3VDrG
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71vmnARhwY
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUR4F2hYKB
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsv5ZXgHT0
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdq5SGHSRN
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxfSnWqesg
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfJzFxPovy
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfmGanhSxp
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqVDJOBzgc
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVGvsVfNxR
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2vmPmDemQ
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpztT6Dxx5
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVYjcA9nEr
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a82hFvRQ8
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR1oe2pTfl
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIUlgV948b
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNmsDdoUoO
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PELyAxWFJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6riBgR22x
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoJbdF4Gno
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5mWejD0Zj
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv7Pjk1VPE
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSVoevzNka
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxh3RR12H3
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DJoFqGw6a
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n4FBjU2oy
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nJiXtKwmb
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR0N5jNoR0
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnwKDoIj8L
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnxbj8HvRw
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflteM38pwU
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgy0KeGDpl
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y96Ck1UOC
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeam6QhsP6I
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrC2YjZkhE
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdkwLkucTe
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YZNPzVICU
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7fKJjmGCl
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaIiYvqOij
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXlqC40EkT
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj9MVaVDpd
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVltRNAjStv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcY36t4Y9N
Fucking asshole.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuCivboQNW
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpr5342evV
"Let's go, Roberta!"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BwihS0rqr
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n8ZLtbshe
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr8zGDgVru
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwA23hBqh5
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLOxv2rokv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIg4ynTa50
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7GDXYxyD5
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fm74jwtZT
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod567bj4De
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeyEsvB9sx
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgNgrl8ZP4
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqWB4niLOo
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38f8dmRclj
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXeiKnPJ9B
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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eV9A8fQOx
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aWsJ3zRP5
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFtidzNnvm
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZjmpNbsY6
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3iA3hOVH6
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFShaVrOTKO
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjy92SXuPf
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQTZVbiAa7
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6jCTreCLK
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdx43oEvK8
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDAGNzsMyY
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKJMsLFz7t
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56avwaoTnE
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2sS11I9UY
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLed2DXYles
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhByVk5KOO3
"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIdf5pL3gr
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYziiitBPd1
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVVb8IfrlV
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3Vv6xGDjk
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7i72lu7JH
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBXqDGZCVy
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtEYtAgTyF
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDTwgr9ngd
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPdlhPxvLJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHflYEtKYrO
"The girls love it." He laughed.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbwdpwh1JZ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuP7VN9Ecn
I blinked. "What?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOSfyfJYap
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVwaQ7JWt2
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQOth6PoUV
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JHlsQaWzB
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4IbqprPLo
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJmfy2Snr0
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQmVZCY48j
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti3auczxgd
"Ma'am?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE6xCIwCVU
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7EMTmIUIN
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eWyCZU9EP
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtAhgTBjFj
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6GEhILHuf
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ZRQgW4Tf
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiKzgBumzX
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HbBdOQwne
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD9xJeX4S2
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiIk97IE47
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma84nUrCbD
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQrmzQ69sU
"Beautiful hands."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuvdKJkROw
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2IN2qGrix
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrExmZsJINt
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG6OYjYknz
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGUwdnMrbJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQu1W2qcJE
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp70IcEeY9u
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhkEZpX4Qm
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74aNkcmaf9
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjES4keBqp
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC1UTtsrnC
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW35H8bd8BJ
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l77u3CG4A
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aiv9J4FaR
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELZmV3W857
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL8keogcME
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg02DPazsM
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrRaTbj4lI
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U5MMjxH4l
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlowZrugSA
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGHBenMbjA
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfujjOXV0I
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh9E9MghvX
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyUrEFQ4wq
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVdfZ46HHn
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Av8pAy2NN
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIwPQlIISt
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T0kl6LnlS
"And Carlos?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7X0RQHawc
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOVd8hEuRI
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJwF8oUe73
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1WdkfzvQq
"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE2yfIJ66r
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaXe1w0D1v
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUduCOxBNUJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46PUOizme4
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEIOa5dgzD
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN4CrgqOXa
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8g97wzBsd
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1GXz8zzIe
"Curious, I guess."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFORaNU0olT
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaCoIKSlOt
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ282v7CVtuC
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyugYeiLnY
"Oh, I'll surprise you."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbGLzsTsI4
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR72gs455rT
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlUgkvcYUT
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeaOycTNTq
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UZEJfWPQE
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8R1OaI3jU
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOetA7Tl3rs
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiXBqt4aYo
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Uwz5xcx7
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g1yjMLWg5
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuOBAUFTya
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFohZ8DUnDu
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA6g3BKwDI
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJD1XXyCWf
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKajXYB0Jp1
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMaTG1ykqu
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWPnC1WsZc
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyQLSfDPZL
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLUpMEVMZU
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZktEtY8pY
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktrFk3wha6
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJzYXwlJhX
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P4htDXSJk
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7CJ9lKHvo
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkKkI8nLQh
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw5TO3Q9CS
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH3Ac5yHyF
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oeiYriRJk
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanNhelJyrX
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F9yP2WVSh
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx994CQoYk
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmwGMVThga
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VApljpiHo
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NJEmTGtt6
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF2WlRXzQC
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq4fxJVpmw
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdKOkEAmlc
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2z4lIoOXH
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zX7oR3Mc2
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpQlNKEDey
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSyCc2kC9x
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PxS4gHEfI
