That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 329Please respect copyright.PENANAazsMyVKlqC
329Please respect copyright.PENANAfxFZWzDhd6
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.329Please respect copyright.PENANAeSOInOAuUx
329Please respect copyright.PENANAr1Mn5Rl6IG
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAsThgprJBLT
329Please respect copyright.PENANAlqyqxZTsw1
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!329Please respect copyright.PENANAPQA97cR7xY
329Please respect copyright.PENANANE5DRyHRpH
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANATo0QTv3qRT
329Please respect copyright.PENANAR9ziiTffKQ
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAirL4CV5env
329Please respect copyright.PENANAF5IDwMpd5O
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAzQX4VmXwUC
329Please respect copyright.PENANAQNXy2wYWAa
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAwiTtoELXfG
329Please respect copyright.PENANA9GPVlHzxWk
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.329Please respect copyright.PENANArVKvbzQ0t2
329Please respect copyright.PENANAYj5FKxwIqh
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAzqbiV9GsxR
329Please respect copyright.PENANAwwmsVzZ7bA
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 329Please respect copyright.PENANAnp6WdAfVFz
329Please respect copyright.PENANAtbDqQ5SLIP
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAppff8ge9XR
329Please respect copyright.PENANAL3nCYwLlJX
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ0aMPzdVh
329Please respect copyright.PENANASf26w1Ahpt
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAEJDn8eCTZ6
329Please respect copyright.PENANAGehfYaaDxR
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAzgnsbTpZSp
329Please respect copyright.PENANAwo1BY1TKlw
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAVYut5wPms2
329Please respect copyright.PENANAnyC6FI7byJ
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAgk3EXgrKVh
329Please respect copyright.PENANAxwdO6SVqLV
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.329Please respect copyright.PENANAK2NIRCo2vz
329Please respect copyright.PENANAy9d7UQD82V
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.329Please respect copyright.PENANA8nag6LnCX7
329Please respect copyright.PENANAQcsnfq6mzL
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.329Please respect copyright.PENANADj0zJVhKXu
329Please respect copyright.PENANABPCnbtXapI
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAxms2qY18NA
329Please respect copyright.PENANAK9yeo5OV4t
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAnahK0V8Ee7
329Please respect copyright.PENANAPznsAJ3a8U
Fucking asshole.329Please respect copyright.PENANA845k53Kxq9
329Please respect copyright.PENANA7GgkYVobnZ
"Let's go, Roberta!"329Please respect copyright.PENANA0Wu2f0bbHV
329Please respect copyright.PENANAkcZMdUr4Ho
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.329Please respect copyright.PENANAqiHM7hLeOL
329Please respect copyright.PENANAUEx7ooFmSD
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.329Please respect copyright.PENANAW2pAZPHpa8
329Please respect copyright.PENANA2zrnd35UOk
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAE03UTShEjL
329Please respect copyright.PENANAiFdP688Szw
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAZzTA99ShJX
329Please respect copyright.PENANAnr38cXabgo
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."329Please respect copyright.PENANA35ohyotVtr
329Please respect copyright.PENANAmQDyr2UyCF
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAWmh0kvUL4n
329Please respect copyright.PENANAU5bf2fRwhn
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."329Please respect copyright.PENANAZUpkuSGGyN
329Please respect copyright.PENANAagXGOFOjMU
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAk2WY1d8Nct
329Please respect copyright.PENANAwvLqJw2unM
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."329Please respect copyright.PENANAuG4uqQEW9N
329Please respect copyright.PENANAfucd8kv82l
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAADaI5FVCkj
329Please respect copyright.PENANAAwXjMZzD12
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAJDYFHyCYa2
329Please respect copyright.PENANAValg5lq4cD
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAgRiZBSdP1b
329Please respect copyright.PENANAKpdp2VCdcq
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAwj3gqL8nW0
329Please respect copyright.PENANAS73tMDJ6gm
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANABb5ZQaO6zO
329Please respect copyright.PENANAP1aSlFw7OF
"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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAWlRfOYh3yI
329Please respect copyright.PENANAPBbKsJTBVz
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAcXVbO0Gfbp
329Please respect copyright.PENANA23i0sReMcn
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.329Please respect copyright.PENANAjmStoZ9fDE
329Please respect copyright.PENANAL2zliTFYgr
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."329Please respect copyright.PENANAgEMc20FmeX
329Please respect copyright.PENANAM9xQH5kUqW
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.329Please respect copyright.PENANA5zRwpSwvhn
329Please respect copyright.PENANAia1q1DLAU1
"The girls love it." He laughed.329Please respect copyright.PENANAvGDIe3sPum
329Please respect copyright.PENANA5HV2XUyOat
I blinked. "What?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAFppjuKHwcS
329Please respect copyright.PENANA56yghYzF9U
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."329Please respect copyright.PENANAHACKzX8JtR
329Please respect copyright.PENANAdLzis7Jb0i
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"329Please respect copyright.PENANARJepcj9BQh
329Please respect copyright.PENANAa8wnYirmDw
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAmVgTLtPIYL
329Please respect copyright.PENANA906HxeRQOL
"Ma'am?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAk8hooaEJ2X
329Please respect copyright.PENANAS28BFnBHlU
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.329Please respect copyright.PENANABwyU1gLdBW
329Please respect copyright.PENANABD3NV6BMTg
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAO81AF1SHKZ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAvEM8AylOER
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 329Please respect copyright.PENANAziJwtBCo12
329Please respect copyright.PENANAc4e0dSC1ZW
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAxZe2wN0WtY
329Please respect copyright.PENANACnyU2YpvEa
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.329Please respect copyright.PENANA0idT58dezu
329Please respect copyright.PENANAjiRZ5Js5qb
"Beautiful hands."329Please respect copyright.PENANARuG8D97D8j
329Please respect copyright.PENANAS9cMyXmPNA
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.329Please respect copyright.PENANAidrwyViXej
329Please respect copyright.PENANAGnT2xINwvE
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAPU38mD7Ybx
329Please respect copyright.PENANAvedjVWjSya
"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."329Please respect copyright.PENANALg3ze3YteJ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAGHSUxA66Um
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."329Please respect copyright.PENANA1jYremOv4o
329Please respect copyright.PENANACoSAmEfDAb
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."329Please respect copyright.PENANAkbY0RlL5zD
329Please respect copyright.PENANApTtbIvA7Q4
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.329Please respect copyright.PENANA40fdmAl3Bx
329Please respect copyright.PENANAPBSsKKcopa
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."329Please respect copyright.PENANACduZ9Fml2A
329Please respect copyright.PENANAPNTl4Rx7mq
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."329Please respect copyright.PENANAVksErzZ6l7
329Please respect copyright.PENANAjKYFGesHcY
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"329Please respect copyright.PENANALmBg6AmvIK
329Please respect copyright.PENANAq0VttK7G44
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."329Please respect copyright.PENANAgx8imH7WP8
329Please respect copyright.PENANAI3OKXiLrWN
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."329Please respect copyright.PENANAlnT12OfWa8
329Please respect copyright.PENANAl244k97OuZ
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"329Please respect copyright.PENANATN11uSlpXT
329Please respect copyright.PENANAvVUrinShgL
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."329Please respect copyright.PENANAnpb8z7rzmK
329Please respect copyright.PENANA1SINZYdI8O
"And Carlos?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAtR6zmTtJoi
329Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xu1QdJ518
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.329Please respect copyright.PENANAZN6XxNaQ0H
329Please respect copyright.PENANAYkWi6xfTvO
"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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAWfGNguK8y7
329Please respect copyright.PENANA2CuLWAjV3D
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.329Please respect copyright.PENANAiQYb2x00RM
329Please respect copyright.PENANAiVUGRSOx06
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.329Please respect copyright.PENANApEeUGYegrl
329Please respect copyright.PENANAAL8ccPF9fV
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."329Please respect copyright.PENANACcrV4yJItz
329Please respect copyright.PENANAYIlAQeEZ9A
"Curious, I guess."329Please respect copyright.PENANAb22yfx9HCz
329Please respect copyright.PENANAkdLFFRMbZ8
"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."329Please respect copyright.PENANASlNSE7aopn
329Please respect copyright.PENANAASJQA3YyUM
"Oh, I'll surprise you."329Please respect copyright.PENANAQ44T7kN4yZ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAIF50TIDwtB
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."329Please respect copyright.PENANABLeN7nIy7z
329Please respect copyright.PENANAcTmdMZBbHk
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAXSvDhk1pkt
329Please respect copyright.PENANALhI2c04OSw
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."329Please respect copyright.PENANADe2oleNwie
329Please respect copyright.PENANAnpV3llEnWA
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.329Please respect copyright.PENANA9ynL5XiLZj
329Please respect copyright.PENANAcPJAVlsVlF
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."329Please respect copyright.PENANAiHqj8lwAzR
329Please respect copyright.PENANAWESCxkf6F1
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.329Please respect copyright.PENANAZVD0koBGJM
329Please respect copyright.PENANA6YTNHgPvCx
"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."329Please respect copyright.PENANAbViGjM5V4e
329Please respect copyright.PENANANL5ap85kbZ
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."329Please respect copyright.PENANAfLGufpdL4x
329Please respect copyright.PENANAZjGA18GDj4
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."329Please respect copyright.PENANAFxAeHqJOAg
329Please respect copyright.PENANA7LkiQlnADY
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAGoctmOTDqy
329Please respect copyright.PENANAMv4SDRrt6d
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAo8L0oVltz3
329Please respect copyright.PENANAK6WCcc6T5n
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."329Please respect copyright.PENANAkzT0pn0v1r
329Please respect copyright.PENANA5QcSsedq6L
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.329Please respect copyright.PENANALraodiaHcX
329Please respect copyright.PENANAC7XJKX8k3G
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."329Please respect copyright.PENANAoZhzJauQcK
329Please respect copyright.PENANAq19OtMxwf1
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."329Please respect copyright.PENANA9CxgEjuGUD
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJvVolSvkyY
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."329Please respect copyright.PENANA9yeZWTLU6e
329Please respect copyright.PENANAAWN7Yruuta
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.329Please respect copyright.PENANALJqmqeScyT
329Please respect copyright.PENANAshwEWGaQ02
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.329Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0fwbatxNt
329Please respect copyright.PENANAvqC79d6rTB
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.329Please respect copyright.PENANAZUsgnApSS7
329Please respect copyright.PENANAwaKNkITZzq
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.329Please respect copyright.PENANAFoYXyvAcrG
329Please respect copyright.PENANAdWQmCE7DRX
