That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ6fcwjVrP
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgCepLjCMZ
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaYSmmVNqL
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR43PfCOcgC
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFpYxJxNq7
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe0hQsmsip
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrD939rdTw
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ8Z6gXcwg
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ938Q8ueg
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb2rGNyiQK
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rWHJikal2
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7jgFmI4gw
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9ACXovhNK
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfnWuJJY8j
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRSsCjzuKT
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw9jmrK8Tg
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuikHL6HvW
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYjP2BG01G
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkxmQN0iQR
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a2eSXGOxM
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezgFuDyVNu
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy4m4U6wTA
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQaHL7Qzhs
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxg3slyWyW
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJKXkBMGyd
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9vj9FsE9k
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGQDfVHXld
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iID7hUrq4
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGNjc04XlP
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm15R1r338
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSwotogTql
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevFEDpggMg
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj48ewUJ46
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC64S09Dok6
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf7jhTPUiC
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcTaJIgRlQ
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTm0CQAbDt
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQEqrQwTaX
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzUuoFCBJo
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTXdKSQHGu
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHowMCXtP4M
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJyyERd7FJ
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEsWLy92sY
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RhxJzQxXk
Fucking asshole.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ1XmZsFGX
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz6Nz5szmw
"Let's go, Roberta!"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7lZ8so1ZA
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ88tJ9ugnw
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjZO26rqJ2
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TI7aCh7mB
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvQsGx8rA3
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDhW9FFgJw
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzknvJxrIeh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqgKTbDvrV
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5QXZaNwSz
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI1AACZXB2
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxvaDdS6gC
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9Oz7UPEp2
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFmCGOwJXJ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymbU6pGodm
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."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jXAuM9lEa
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU1z1lYUfI
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLstJ5JkvCu
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwzz0cGA9v
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iP3WXXzjS
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4qnHc3eEA
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYqnKOTGrA
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMleEJb1AF
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN74ikqx3Xk
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLSNZNkvUT
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswpQtr2qxB
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACL9DMHa8B
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTSvmAdomM
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hDTbZxTPy
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCpPL2aQgp
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JvQW8YGUr
"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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf7iHDDMWW
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qaz9XSvCq
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI7PkirEbe
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOB2PykD5M
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49DMR9vtZj
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVBUBT3vmJ
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeITjpIJIcB
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eqAbTzySD
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0brKstReQ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tXEBeV9o7
"The girls love it." He laughed.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwakWBCeFYk
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7esAisiOv
I blinked. "What?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Sp06U5IM
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObUdc4B7H1
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJpqb1ynDF
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpry6f5nhcS
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYZ7okASqD
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAJljHiSLn
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qMWEs8wR1
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgwYBoCQk1
"Ma'am?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnOcI2w2Dp
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVkGrYMqGn
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc8Hh5tJ2a
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL9vDmgCxh
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8tmgMMVe2
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyVnnfWueW
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJigd38X4V
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjs0ibAPI4
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCZfYw0U2O
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLthzbeKVth
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJIspgu8gI
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbqY2XnHWC
"Beautiful hands."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt0C7e6y1T
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzvvptrJ8l
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVGHjeG7JD
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlwJrkHMo0
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2CyrNNgDi
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3mAan7DQI
"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."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzIVhG6EUu
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPckmkSJxx
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7RYIEdasD
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QDyy1OeOf
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyqWFLDQYd
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS03qfLhb4L
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8t0AurVhf
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouDMi7MGmB
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdQbKpsFFN
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleTvd6RKv2
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gPm2OTeug
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFN2PN4WuD
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToEVLTZ5EZ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51hDKXR0OE
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqnXOqcTMC
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LMIDzgnaZ
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCzQ0mIR4Q
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT9sIP8rFp
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0e9vVbvpj
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2KxFYCagX
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNXhPCrHFK
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmWaZF1rAz
"And Carlos?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw29bjzA7r
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU17NSuNhV
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoJu6VX5tx
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjorCaPaO4
"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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9BrCLQ4SJ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsPyHnHi0q
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa58JVoipj
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2loWexCw45
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWMDxUcoRq
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ432kWomZej
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF73Jj6oMpr
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFoiJuLmRg
"Curious, I guess."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCxXyas7RW
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7WRy2OHcl
"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."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcxUT1FHDi
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJw8KwcK5w
"Oh, I'll surprise you."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRSyJPX2PL
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdbappMUXb
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRF6wEqKV4
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqbZZGQiEm
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZVMuGzXjX
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxQpbJKJH8
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjhJe1ZpGo
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKodam6WrxG
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7z9H1ASSY
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnBgmnbKrK
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU37ip618i4
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNqnxvQsKP
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7SU5CyZun
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZnFjUuK4h
"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."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViqTH0LwAG
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5EypzMkG4
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI2t1Jbftk
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgVHddBEX8
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIk3Bu63ii
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsbd4LeEEh
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwde7q24zcs
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvhIGxLQQm
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNgfZ6l2M3
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpORgXbGCOc
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrmiZCmjbt
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uPJI4W87f
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLfxbFZFMq
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t4AYlpqrm
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcTcuVV7He
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK6KbgNCoi
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AtNudtTUo
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg94We80Cm
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW92RuW0tLv
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qfhnQWiJT
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XAwOUXJp8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wRYbdaDqG
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruFhcfguv0
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrZf172mWc
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT2IPvoaFe
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yT5UilOwG
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK0dmAr2Ui
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMq3kHRbhI
