That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 427Please respect copyright.PENANAuzk8ekczJ0
427Please respect copyright.PENANA2ND1JZfwNi
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.427Please respect copyright.PENANA0yONoE0Ehm
427Please respect copyright.PENANAY3Pfnn5ITM
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAt136f48Rz0
427Please respect copyright.PENANAFjESEJGeoq
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!427Please respect copyright.PENANAKkMtFFZnUq
427Please respect copyright.PENANAwgnzaQ8qsi
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAPkUGAGqCWy
427Please respect copyright.PENANA14x1xWr57Z
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANADk67hq1WOb
427Please respect copyright.PENANA9BvOckVNdo
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAOA7iCNhu1t
427Please respect copyright.PENANAqYkckaBPsg
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAiASHlLCGpG
427Please respect copyright.PENANAZJEZ5Cci0W
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.427Please respect copyright.PENANAk5efSqCd0W
427Please respect copyright.PENANAkg0Dil22Of
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAe0llXAyg1c
427Please respect copyright.PENANAPCAHUQfrOd
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 427Please respect copyright.PENANAOkGfkuNomc
427Please respect copyright.PENANAT2yEZ158uj
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAIDYXdV3Imd
427Please respect copyright.PENANAia3DdW221H
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANANreqywsGBT
427Please respect copyright.PENANAwxtiqR8Zs5
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAmsTm2D3faz
427Please respect copyright.PENANAcy9cE06rUU
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAU7IOPWqXFn
427Please respect copyright.PENANAyAUbtBYj09
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAp8mgrDeZ9F
427Please respect copyright.PENANAp2U41Cn7CB
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANACmtjnrDpSE
427Please respect copyright.PENANAjulYpy5xLC
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.427Please respect copyright.PENANAcAZYgA6USj
427Please respect copyright.PENANAHLYwwlR6vy
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.427Please respect copyright.PENANAMVgMQ3syoR
427Please respect copyright.PENANAZMkgypDNFK
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.427Please respect copyright.PENANAEhKRnfyd4X
427Please respect copyright.PENANAmyjqiiCEqk
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANACd1ZNKbDnX
427Please respect copyright.PENANATALbR3l0Po
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANADtDIGk4Mqe
427Please respect copyright.PENANAQtVu81iNPC
Fucking asshole.427Please respect copyright.PENANAixDEeT9Sax
427Please respect copyright.PENANA6y6c1U3Dxx
"Let's go, Roberta!"427Please respect copyright.PENANA2HPnpFv7wd
427Please respect copyright.PENANAnQAt8AqcTi
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.427Please respect copyright.PENANAYGHGINtcPu
427Please respect copyright.PENANABiej5JQikR
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.427Please respect copyright.PENANA9zPoLdUPCm
427Please respect copyright.PENANAd8Vij7TZFo
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAfCtBrUWY4Z
427Please respect copyright.PENANAJzCZa7j2kk
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAH2OOMRjtsk
427Please respect copyright.PENANAPzVvWkN3Ls
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."427Please respect copyright.PENANAAlij6zIUQ2
427Please respect copyright.PENANAAP67W8BY4m
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"427Please respect copyright.PENANA4nLM7xdmhP
427Please respect copyright.PENANACgzxM3fuqy
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."427Please respect copyright.PENANAKDse3NmOg2
427Please respect copyright.PENANAAebWl1mjhk
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"427Please respect copyright.PENANADTrszQu10L
427Please respect copyright.PENANAAO6vYqsY2l
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."427Please respect copyright.PENANAdymS9K9Nf9
427Please respect copyright.PENANAAZiP9NIjJ8
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAUP2bFTFMwc
427Please respect copyright.PENANAiNYXZWTOL1
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAURtsJ3Ovtv
427Please respect copyright.PENANAXRLUk4X7A2
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAsXVUYyh5k5
427Please respect copyright.PENANAGFZbfpvisT
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"427Please respect copyright.PENANAEuBZHOMAkD
427Please respect copyright.PENANA4ryiXwP5zt
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAMgJ4ZjfJrd
427Please respect copyright.PENANAKlE7ELjD91
"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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0HVl7ZRlq
427Please respect copyright.PENANAnzqjH3WlRT
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAMEFfWnIavV
427Please respect copyright.PENANAWXEGv6EXNw
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.427Please respect copyright.PENANAz1vXvmBwRp
427Please respect copyright.PENANAN64ebKjFlf
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."427Please respect copyright.PENANAX9E8DPjAmu
427Please respect copyright.PENANApZMEuKtlNA
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.427Please respect copyright.PENANAR0MDOgeXuj
427Please respect copyright.PENANAODj125wWB0
"The girls love it." He laughed.427Please respect copyright.PENANAoZhmNwENYd
427Please respect copyright.PENANAYSh8lv4f5W
I blinked. "What?"427Please respect copyright.PENANAloC45UG1jk
427Please respect copyright.PENANAeBNJGDtzEr
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."427Please respect copyright.PENANA9rQZ7S4cja
427Please respect copyright.PENANAoaDLSGCopI
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"427Please respect copyright.PENANA9LsZ3zR0ua
427Please respect copyright.PENANAmDKZaTdXaA
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAeL3GwUybvi
427Please respect copyright.PENANALOrMm68LAI
"Ma'am?"427Please respect copyright.PENANA9r1LWKUWid
427Please respect copyright.PENANA4asiTfPvLN
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.427Please respect copyright.PENANAJToFxbWfX8
427Please respect copyright.PENANAzaaV2k30fF
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANA9fYn4NLDw6
427Please respect copyright.PENANAkjvpkeDkRK
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 427Please respect copyright.PENANAWEjU0EN8I7
427Please respect copyright.PENANA8K3H5mr2aN
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANA2vSZ3U5aqI
427Please respect copyright.PENANAH6tPRxLVkL
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.427Please respect copyright.PENANA1z6d6Zat1J
427Please respect copyright.PENANAcfyFjQOTtg
"Beautiful hands."427Please respect copyright.PENANAtv2PrIb1zc
427Please respect copyright.PENANAKyZid3W4qx
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.427Please respect copyright.PENANAH0JtR4ZsWg
427Please respect copyright.PENANAL9z4FhVGDy
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAPcMmuH77Zu
427Please respect copyright.PENANAVgctEtKxVM
"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."427Please respect copyright.PENANAUgw6hfFusJ
427Please respect copyright.PENANAtU73CviCan
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."427Please respect copyright.PENANAaGXaU52Oju
427Please respect copyright.PENANAzPg69UMkri
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."427Please respect copyright.PENANAeRUXiVce1o
427Please respect copyright.PENANA2o6bB9txli
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.427Please respect copyright.PENANA0P3ZQs2pKj
427Please respect copyright.PENANAjtukn8w1Ar
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."427Please respect copyright.PENANAZD3I9OvpV8
427Please respect copyright.PENANAWoohiJ9iPy
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."427Please respect copyright.PENANAWuTzzJfb3h
427Please respect copyright.PENANA573dAoqnj5
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"427Please respect copyright.PENANAyA4TiLgGDH
427Please respect copyright.PENANAI3Kj5juQg5
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."427Please respect copyright.PENANAd1LgCb3Rqu
427Please respect copyright.PENANA5Pt3fTqH5O
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."427Please respect copyright.PENANAO20MBPkqKM
427Please respect copyright.PENANAjA4KTn9vBw
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"427Please respect copyright.PENANAohIxOFvQV9
427Please respect copyright.PENANAJG6xEBtWyi
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."427Please respect copyright.PENANAouZKsVcDgq
427Please respect copyright.PENANAp4MXa8SLxD
"And Carlos?"427Please respect copyright.PENANA5CCTVfOc0r
427Please respect copyright.PENANAzqlJ5XvCPk
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.427Please respect copyright.PENANAio9s987SWx
427Please respect copyright.PENANA9nA9t8sS0d
"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.427Please respect copyright.PENANADt4jjprsec
427Please respect copyright.PENANAObPjpH8KqH
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.427Please respect copyright.PENANAFWcgxQFJoa
427Please respect copyright.PENANAc45h7zPZ5q
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.427Please respect copyright.PENANAKqX0voQqlU
427Please respect copyright.PENANAN2Vv2mnk8i
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."427Please respect copyright.PENANAPBh51guJS6
427Please respect copyright.PENANAIuoBfdpFrS
"Curious, I guess."427Please respect copyright.PENANAiWXlElF6id
427Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4FtBmeGWx
"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."427Please respect copyright.PENANAWR0pXAWCAk
427Please respect copyright.PENANAY6hKh4rmUn
"Oh, I'll surprise you."427Please respect copyright.PENANAP2nb0OVhRU
427Please respect copyright.PENANAb5Q1WxEgnF
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."427Please respect copyright.PENANAXRkuYDRTeZ
427Please respect copyright.PENANARtlJtgs18l
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"427Please respect copyright.PENANASzjFXwIu3n
427Please respect copyright.PENANA1ztPUTvAkl
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."427Please respect copyright.PENANAXIc63NtEfw
427Please respect copyright.PENANA70TwDSRNx5
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.427Please respect copyright.PENANAvY1hmNOZy7
427Please respect copyright.PENANADNJYrmho5J
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."427Please respect copyright.PENANAh5v17q4QAM
427Please respect copyright.PENANA8q7aISrfbL
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.427Please respect copyright.PENANA9ConVIDWwL
427Please respect copyright.PENANAYicuU8oYQ1
"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."427Please respect copyright.PENANA3anhY4Rm9Z
427Please respect copyright.PENANAyEdxSZUmpi
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."427Please respect copyright.PENANAy09kHzWCR9
427Please respect copyright.PENANABDGhQgELTW
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."427Please respect copyright.PENANAito4iw44Gg
427Please respect copyright.PENANAMWfMTV7mQp
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7z4MjDgCk
427Please respect copyright.PENANAtTuzjhGbOT
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.427Please respect copyright.PENANA4gYirzwuwi
427Please respect copyright.PENANAQOJ9OmSFCo
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."427Please respect copyright.PENANAKa2xYwGEPL
427Please respect copyright.PENANAKg9TwLm1jm
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.427Please respect copyright.PENANABIlVnRmTPt
427Please respect copyright.PENANAmh92qCZS8C
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."427Please respect copyright.PENANA91wPHOSREP
427Please respect copyright.PENANA0z5BC57omo
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."427Please respect copyright.PENANAAZyPsxdKCI
427Please respect copyright.PENANAncXA9XMnu9
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."427Please respect copyright.PENANA3nLiMpvrNw
427Please respect copyright.PENANAps9ofLCgpf
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.427Please respect copyright.PENANAh74uO2oZ3h
427Please respect copyright.PENANA7uJ8INT7ZA
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.427Please respect copyright.PENANAglTxJJhOxz
427Please respect copyright.PENANA2E3V4Dyw2Y
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.427Please respect copyright.PENANAcyPnN90see
427Please respect copyright.PENANAOygy10SF46
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.427Please respect copyright.PENANAex0MJOtRhj
427Please respect copyright.PENANA2F5aPvCPIm
