That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 354Please respect copyright.PENANAFCzb6rswCq
354Please respect copyright.PENANAmaytYqeewx
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.354Please respect copyright.PENANAOudHKPrcn3
354Please respect copyright.PENANAcRb8889Uq4
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAERkkWGzAnO
354Please respect copyright.PENANADal2zBXWRV
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!354Please respect copyright.PENANApKpdkvf6aA
354Please respect copyright.PENANA8VsYoJsAf0
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAIGDSCdNTEZ
354Please respect copyright.PENANAsjP03TtLIm
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAQC72ecxBkp
354Please respect copyright.PENANAFoCgWVpi7X
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAHFTeJieNjQ
354Please respect copyright.PENANAGXYeNQ7k63
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAeeTSmJLPF4
354Please respect copyright.PENANANrlPI5HgXG
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.354Please respect copyright.PENANAn2rCyFwJWW
354Please respect copyright.PENANARGsDB1eKTY
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAB5wpx52WgJ
354Please respect copyright.PENANATcnzHLYT6j
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 354Please respect copyright.PENANASEryYem9P8
354Please respect copyright.PENANAje2Nv33UCN
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAnhlqEzcdsz
354Please respect copyright.PENANALXgfaYm4HV
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANALrid6nCSa7
354Please respect copyright.PENANAof5NVX6j5t
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAFVSJqB3bIg
354Please respect copyright.PENANAFJTFrtwACV
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANA5U2U9AKP33
354Please respect copyright.PENANAtPocUuGtHc
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANACsxTjMQTSa
354Please respect copyright.PENANA9wLK9BKYUe
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAXOmMyhzSn6
354Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3AL6YMRD9
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.354Please respect copyright.PENANASMWBYQA7Hw
354Please respect copyright.PENANAefbvTdEwGt
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.354Please respect copyright.PENANA9pHOBWpJQr
354Please respect copyright.PENANAM19Nypzli1
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.354Please respect copyright.PENANALi6B2iAA6N
354Please respect copyright.PENANAwfcpcivuF9
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAoGh4KXnK8i
354Please respect copyright.PENANAXRasESQDkk
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAg3cEm5BQ8H
354Please respect copyright.PENANAxM6jzXShqY
Fucking asshole.354Please respect copyright.PENANAsY9maYisHq
354Please respect copyright.PENANAwtHbNr0c6y
"Let's go, Roberta!"354Please respect copyright.PENANAUfihQexjTA
354Please respect copyright.PENANAXOgSJ5lD9f
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.354Please respect copyright.PENANAHN5143WVzC
354Please respect copyright.PENANACEIEu5aPS4
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.354Please respect copyright.PENANA6LU2B2JOLz
354Please respect copyright.PENANA3LjPnOINW2
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAYFhmNpDmOU
354Please respect copyright.PENANAn29APqNfH6
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAn7P7ovTzrz
354Please respect copyright.PENANAAcqu3uSRi8
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."354Please respect copyright.PENANAtx11D0C4OG
354Please respect copyright.PENANAixpQYDSXCm
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"354Please respect copyright.PENANAy45ugdJlAf
354Please respect copyright.PENANAqH8UDPyQtm
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."354Please respect copyright.PENANAtt3sDnQCeD
354Please respect copyright.PENANATi4oO379sA
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"354Please respect copyright.PENANAofIwTCP2fq
354Please respect copyright.PENANAMLoCS4zKcP
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."354Please respect copyright.PENANARiUr0FQNtX
354Please respect copyright.PENANADBso2szdpU
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAc1tJ4VMGbh
354Please respect copyright.PENANAkcFibh9ei9
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAktjLjH4xMH
354Please respect copyright.PENANAk8RZFD6uKY
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAL4m21SiIg0
354Please respect copyright.PENANAl6xHa23uHg
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"354Please respect copyright.PENANAHsaxtkXcfa
354Please respect copyright.PENANA6b9EdEe0fe
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAxrgc3fFvHW
354Please respect copyright.PENANAK8o3fMOlV3
"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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAmKuq6lNvSY
354Please respect copyright.PENANAKrhneLylEc
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAzuRDSDj3uf
354Please respect copyright.PENANAKKFw6DvGeN
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.354Please respect copyright.PENANAi43WBDMXIm
354Please respect copyright.PENANAAIe8kjSiUe
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."354Please respect copyright.PENANAgpAxNzKJdu
354Please respect copyright.PENANAQNPkODkSdi
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.354Please respect copyright.PENANADlsRAn7Qcb
354Please respect copyright.PENANA9vikmCYoSh
"The girls love it." He laughed.354Please respect copyright.PENANAk44jRoOapP
354Please respect copyright.PENANAVEvw8sHMem
I blinked. "What?"354Please respect copyright.PENANAonkQevlSN8
354Please respect copyright.PENANAW5ydoEsOUg
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."354Please respect copyright.PENANAuvOtfSjg0F
354Please respect copyright.PENANAi1e5zwo30R
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"354Please respect copyright.PENANAoePDxn97SN
354Please respect copyright.PENANAcdjhdNR2Hz
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAhaBEHQPOcm
354Please respect copyright.PENANAzdx6sdKcpC
"Ma'am?"354Please respect copyright.PENANAUCsSaoVgzq
354Please respect copyright.PENANAJp5agLl3Ob
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.354Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZRjepwqda
354Please respect copyright.PENANAVjFwqrgXV9
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANA368jIMzwNO
354Please respect copyright.PENANAWlAsmjXQE3
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 354Please respect copyright.PENANAnpAhavcVvT
354Please respect copyright.PENANAsgGtKGO08F
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAk150EwJC6u
354Please respect copyright.PENANAb4gEFri23B
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.354Please respect copyright.PENANAh5awHChDOR
354Please respect copyright.PENANADxkekxbydN
"Beautiful hands."354Please respect copyright.PENANAlulZgOULaP
354Please respect copyright.PENANAe1PWfu7Zqz
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.354Please respect copyright.PENANAKRS2SUZfSK
354Please respect copyright.PENANAN4UxCrFvWk
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAKWEsEjnt6f
354Please respect copyright.PENANAjfRJqMlSXY
"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."354Please respect copyright.PENANAEdSee2wgPN
354Please respect copyright.PENANAGVwWXo3qJz
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."354Please respect copyright.PENANAmllPBMX9Pw
354Please respect copyright.PENANAoLay41auWE
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."354Please respect copyright.PENANAgzp6BESbw0
354Please respect copyright.PENANAjviSkxt8US
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.354Please respect copyright.PENANAE2AsgUpiDk
354Please respect copyright.PENANAv0RNY2dx7A
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."354Please respect copyright.PENANAq7hv0SyQY6
354Please respect copyright.PENANADtFze0YiNJ
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."354Please respect copyright.PENANAfIC45g5UOz
354Please respect copyright.PENANACPliVdgcnL
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"354Please respect copyright.PENANAa1kgprIrvt
354Please respect copyright.PENANAcpyBUDUgTN
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."354Please respect copyright.PENANAeMn2ta9s9F
354Please respect copyright.PENANA5ODbmdw01j
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."354Please respect copyright.PENANAKTx8tV3gxp
354Please respect copyright.PENANAnQaRnAEjWv
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"354Please respect copyright.PENANAsajAapEidc
354Please respect copyright.PENANAyNTLHPdFun
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."354Please respect copyright.PENANAK2N8OMSdiu
354Please respect copyright.PENANA3CSyVUZgV9
"And Carlos?"354Please respect copyright.PENANAuGY3p2CAdZ
354Please respect copyright.PENANAFhcvfw4xgZ
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.354Please respect copyright.PENANAYXEj4BAnbQ
354Please respect copyright.PENANAsmiUySAH1J
"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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAW6sCqorsew
354Please respect copyright.PENANAq0YfWiRQec
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.354Please respect copyright.PENANAXQH4YDYSuO
354Please respect copyright.PENANA3FO0wGWphs
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.354Please respect copyright.PENANAp6DrQnIpuG
354Please respect copyright.PENANAaHe7fU9qbo
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."354Please respect copyright.PENANA3uhdlAbN1G
354Please respect copyright.PENANAHwTloGL1L9
"Curious, I guess."354Please respect copyright.PENANAGEot4KK3OY
354Please respect copyright.PENANAt1yNLJ96vF
"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."354Please respect copyright.PENANAUaxPLpebed
354Please respect copyright.PENANAr48HjIDynu
"Oh, I'll surprise you."354Please respect copyright.PENANAofDOjyuDNm
354Please respect copyright.PENANAA1Tdtnzua5
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."354Please respect copyright.PENANAdPqyPao2R3
354Please respect copyright.PENANAYub7KZRaRK
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"354Please respect copyright.PENANAHmxpi2pWqf
354Please respect copyright.PENANA4TaTpTjD6F
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."354Please respect copyright.PENANAa9UdSlLtjS
354Please respect copyright.PENANAoQfdDak1Iw
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.354Please respect copyright.PENANAJvbipoZhEI
354Please respect copyright.PENANAuAH3nXymCo
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."354Please respect copyright.PENANAuGvr829oQx
354Please respect copyright.PENANAoM2e1ecBBY
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.354Please respect copyright.PENANAliFnpcw4Js
354Please respect copyright.PENANAvPvk8Yk9wX
"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."354Please respect copyright.PENANAZMhSFpkAHH
354Please respect copyright.PENANAiagBQVFUn9
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."354Please respect copyright.PENANAVLeW9BWjLN
354Please respect copyright.PENANAiCneh6P164
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."354Please respect copyright.PENANAMsklaxptIe
354Please respect copyright.PENANAZd9Es1HUMe
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAdhmRjIWtp7
354Please respect copyright.PENANApYRXpuMo2U
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.354Please respect copyright.PENANAaEzf6biEFr
354Please respect copyright.PENANAYkSzylZe6N
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."354Please respect copyright.PENANA43IG13W9pE
354Please respect copyright.PENANA0Uo2KtwS4K
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.354Please respect copyright.PENANApp4m7KFd7i
354Please respect copyright.PENANAmfEHQ7svVY
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."354Please respect copyright.PENANAZnWDHYBzoY
354Please respect copyright.PENANAk3CkSerKV4
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."354Please respect copyright.PENANAHsIHB2ejbX
354Please respect copyright.PENANAhsV3O6rtki
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."354Please respect copyright.PENANArEPplUQgt8
354Please respect copyright.PENANAeDQW78vmNp
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.354Please respect copyright.PENANAZXu7LGUsLy
354Please respect copyright.PENANAc9ntUUVWKt
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.354Please respect copyright.PENANA5F54hMujN5
354Please respect copyright.PENANAWdYU0mDssF
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.354Please respect copyright.PENANABsDYvxUDYy
354Please respect copyright.PENANA3kTmQCb0jm
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.354Please respect copyright.PENANABuYFXAurzz
354Please respect copyright.PENANAenEdHoJh78
