After I had left the office with Axel I was in a complete daze and so confused. I was grateful I had the rest of the day to really think about what had happened.377Please respect copyright.PENANAvLP4tUqnCh
377Please respect copyright.PENANABAQenXxb4B
I stared at his number on my palm for what felt like forever. Moments of confidence would hit me and I'd pick up my cellphone like I was actually going to do something.377Please respect copyright.PENANAeGRDF4ujLd
377Please respect copyright.PENANAeJYPUeEIg0
I ended my night laying flat on my back watching shitty tv with a bag of popcorn. His number still fresh on my palm as I laid there in my dismay over Axel's offer on dinner.377Please respect copyright.PENANA120NJkQMeR
377Please respect copyright.PENANAmrjmzapmiN
He was handsome, funny, and kind. Who in their right mind would say no?377Please respect copyright.PENANATBvmDeQDie
377Please respect copyright.PENANAGJIfdCXnNy
Part of me wanted to say 'yes' to his offer right away but then there was that other part of me that kept playing my interaction with Kalon over and over.377Please respect copyright.PENANAOrRbHZGOWh
377Please respect copyright.PENANA83p4j608YO
Him being so close to me that day, driving my heart up, his intoxicating scent washing over me like a wave.377Please respect copyright.PENANAPIBaCmPKgX
377Please respect copyright.PENANA2vi3ybEKkO
As much as I wanted to hate Kalon for the situation I'm in, I couldn't seem to get him out of my mind. I knew a girl like me was nothing but a number to someone in his position.377Please respect copyright.PENANAWDyqJc9AW6
377Please respect copyright.PENANASqr50isTV2
A man like that would never go for a girl like me. My entire life is a god damn joke and I basically look like I'm still fifteen years old.377Please respect copyright.PENANALw48fhZ4rI
377Please respect copyright.PENANATOwgV4Wjul
Kalon goes for girls like Naomi. Women who have amazing curves and big, fake breasts.377Please respect copyright.PENANAISn4sqX7U1
377Please respect copyright.PENANAO10XJ84kJo
Women who are absolute bitches to everyone around them.377Please respect copyright.PENANA6oWxrgcspD
377Please respect copyright.PENANAJD8MRRuidq
I had hoped the right answer would come to me but it never did. I woke up that next morning with a stress headache and stumbled my way through my morning routine.377Please respect copyright.PENANA1vtRyV0mCo
377Please respect copyright.PENANAw2QmTCc3Wx
Kalon was supposed to be back from his business trip this morning and despite my own mental torment, I was eager to prove my worth to him.377Please respect copyright.PENANAg8CqVGdT1u
377Please respect copyright.PENANAwqKJ2duf3m
Once my shower was finished I stood completely naked in front of the steamy bathroom mirror and stared back at my own reflection.377Please respect copyright.PENANAmchtGq2B89
377Please respect copyright.PENANAflytZQysZv
I looked the same but at the same time, I felt so different. 377Please respect copyright.PENANA4MxrIY1pd9
377Please respect copyright.PENANAio3JxdEGFb
My skin had a bit of a glow and was the clearest it had been in years. My cheeks were rosy and my hair full of volume and curls.377Please respect copyright.PENANAPQX1MjLPKE
377Please respect copyright.PENANAJyeuaG9EFO
I felt like a woman standing exposed at that moment. I felt confident and proud.377Please respect copyright.PENANAMKngkp0OiE
377Please respect copyright.PENANAHLcDajvDYa
I felt like...like my mom.377Please respect copyright.PENANAHrNdEFVBan
377Please respect copyright.PENANAeGScUWPaLr
Tears hit me as the thought of her came over me. I never thought I would grow into my features so rapidly. The same features she was known for.377Please respect copyright.PENANABoQzqhT4Fj
377Please respect copyright.PENANA7V9gjGGc9K
I used to feel so complimented knowing how similar we were but now it was just so fucking painful.377Please respect copyright.PENANAsnN1zqruTK
377Please respect copyright.PENANAkP0TPy1PgS
"Brush it off..." I whispered to myself and braced my hands on the counter.377Please respect copyright.PENANAtb7SBBYdLt
377Please respect copyright.PENANAw61VOyJhwP
My body was on high alert and I could feel nausea starting to hit me from the nerves breaking out all over.377Please respect copyright.PENANAey6PdpLr9D
377Please respect copyright.PENANAZOXybpe8t0
Before I had time to dwell on my emotions for too long I turned my attention on my morning routine. 377Please respect copyright.PENANAL6k0St0bBr
377Please respect copyright.PENANA00duL02Ji7
I decided today would be the day I took that extra step in really showing what kind of woman I am and how valuable I can be.377Please respect copyright.PENANAnN3FDZyZZr
377Please respect copyright.PENANAGi0rqGwiHN
I straightened my hair for the first time in years and even decided to add some stunning red lipstick with smokey shadow and mascara.377Please respect copyright.PENANA77JBEG9Y74
377Please respect copyright.PENANARGvbDOQT4K
I swiped a bit of blush along with the sharpest points of my cheekbones and smiled back at myself.377Please respect copyright.PENANAvYPfWOiiO9
377Please respect copyright.PENANAhMRaDOmHBC
I looked good. Mature.377Please respect copyright.PENANAR2edxeiqHa
377Please respect copyright.PENANA4BiBAJ5mbL
I sat my makeup brushes down and slipped into my underwear and tight, black dress quickly. I knew Kalon would be in his office soon and didn't want to ruin today by being late.377Please respect copyright.PENANACaVZHQc1nT
377Please respect copyright.PENANARwbYILcfvI
After slipping on my new heels that I was sure I'd break an ankle in, I hurried out of my room and down the hall. I could already feel my heart pounding loudly in my ears as I anxiously checked my cellphone time.377Please respect copyright.PENANAW4Md8WMsHA
377Please respect copyright.PENANAO1V95xFDdw
Why the hell did he have to be on the opposite side of a house that is the equivalent of 5 single family homes?! 377Please respect copyright.PENANAdzRCe5EGrC
377Please respect copyright.PENANAXUFF04y7KC
By the time his office came into view my vision was starting to blur from how out of breath I was. Hopefully, I wasn't already sweating my damn makeup off.377Please respect copyright.PENANAimyckrEQm9
377Please respect copyright.PENANAvFHEmwDHzl
I reached out to knock against the door when I heard a sound come from the other side.377Please respect copyright.PENANAGCd38YmPCa
377Please respect copyright.PENANAqOS0BTiRgK
I pulled back a bit and listened closely for it to come again but after a few moments of nothing I decided it was probably safe to just enter before I really was late.377Please respect copyright.PENANAGfGbBB4MB2
377Please respect copyright.PENANAo7EjEuyMTQ
I pushed open the door, smiling brightly as the office came into view.377Please respect copyright.PENANAKgor5rkWWu
377Please respect copyright.PENANARbdo4nEirx
I got an immediate display of Kalon's exposed chest covered in colorful tattoos as his hand griped furiously onto a blondes head.377Please respect copyright.PENANAchRnGwGGu6
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtsCtrE64hY
He immediately saw me walk in and I felt my cheeks heat up as he continued to pump himself deeper and faster into the girls mouth as she gagged desperately for air.377Please respect copyright.PENANAT52lTZonii
377Please respect copyright.PENANAGVcvyagvpg
I opened my mouth to speak but stopped when he shook his head quickly and kept his focus on me. I could feel my insides spinning and an all too familiar warmth built up like wildfire between my legs as he fucked me with his eyes.377Please respect copyright.PENANAsHHb3aoLeg
377Please respect copyright.PENANAwC7OQJ3HbP
I couldn't take my eyes off of them. He was so incredible with how he performed.377Please respect copyright.PENANAxgOLky4urF
377Please respect copyright.PENANAPu4lACvjwI
His muscles rippling with each stroke as he pushed deeper into her throat, his breaths coming out heavy and fast.377Please respect copyright.PENANA4OcLnhnaoW
377Please respect copyright.PENANAr8GA5hnhNo
His steel eyes roamed over my body, hungrily. I suddenly pictured myself in her place instead. The desire to please him was overwhelming and unexpected as it hit me.377Please respect copyright.PENANA8ekFqy7lcd
377Please respect copyright.PENANAHY4KfLiElR
Kalon continued to breath deeply as he kept his eyes on me and bit his lower lip in need. I felt my palms drench with sweat as I braced myself against the doorframe and watched the show come to an end.377Please respect copyright.PENANAaxsEnUCtVU
377Please respect copyright.PENANAg3OJEjXS12
His free hand steadied her head and he pushed himself into her fully as he released. His moans began to subside and the girl at his waist let out a small laugh before pushing back onto her knees.377Please respect copyright.PENANADRnOQ54iTb
377Please respect copyright.PENANAWuNVIutJZi
I quickly looked away to the floor as Kalon moved in my direction, exposing himself to me. I knew it was inappropriate to be watching this and certainly not professional in any way, but there was a bigger part of me building with desire to see every part of him.377Please respect copyright.PENANA0BATHyWuIJ
377Please respect copyright.PENANAbU0MyASj1x
I wanted to admire his perfection, his strength.377Please respect copyright.PENANAM6zjgrUz1E
377Please respect copyright.PENANAIDhUWgEERt
"Good morning, Miss Quinn."377Please respect copyright.PENANAEILNkxkkVf
377Please respect copyright.PENANAWLHtxGMmqS
My heart seemed to skip a bit as Kalon addressed me still keeping his attention on his shirt as he finished buttoning it up.377Please respect copyright.PENANARGpZk13ZbW
377Please respect copyright.PENANAfgrxAJePxQ
The blonde gasped and spun around in a haste. As soon as she did, I realized that it had been the blonde she-devil that had been choking on his dick.377Please respect copyright.PENANAZFjsfumwSp
377Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q76WWC4rP
"Are you fucking serious?" Naomi screeched and covered up her exposed breasts.377Please respect copyright.PENANAV6SKQuWwdS
377Please respect copyright.PENANAMrSrM0Wjom
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was interrupting something," I apologized and kept my gaze on the floor. "Do I need to come back?"377Please respect copyright.PENANAXpmewalgRR
377Please respect copyright.PENANApT6ZFLHgpo
I heard the office chair move and Kalon spoke up. "No need! Good morning, I'm excited to get you started."377Please respect copyright.PENANAlfzbkDlrPq
377Please respect copyright.PENANA30J5Ee6kde
"Well, I'm out of here. Let me know what happens with the meetings," Naomi sighed and pushed past me, nearly pushing me over.377Please respect copyright.PENANAYpishE8jGE
377Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kradsu9vX
Kalon and I sat for a few moments in silence as the door slammed shut with her rage fueled exit.377Please respect copyright.PENANAvdIf0bFBCZ
377Please respect copyright.PENANAXz5hwe2Rfy
I took a deep breath and looked back up at him. He had already been staring at me.377Please respect copyright.PENANAWjCvAheYKd
377Please respect copyright.PENANAD4gitAvlqB
"I'm very sorry for interrupting the two of you. I didn't realize Naomi was your girlfriend, otherwise I -"377Please respect copyright.PENANAq9rTJhdhhr
377Please respect copyright.PENANA9pqJRsFFdB
Kalon put his hand up to stop me. "Please stop apologizing to me and Naomi is not my girlfriend."377Please respect copyright.PENANAGlK7DuLD7D
377Please respect copyright.PENANAAvljE7Pe1Q
"Oh..."My nerves relaxed a bit, "I'm so-" I started out again but stopped when I saw his eyes narrow. "Understood, sir."377Please respect copyright.PENANAQpGdCIvExO
377Please respect copyright.PENANAQFh7kBJ3pz
He nodded and raised his arms up behind his head, the curves of his biceps showing through the fabric of his long sleeve shirt. "I'd like you to join me today, I need to attend a few meetings and I'm not the best on keeping myself organized."377Please respect copyright.PENANAsadesYkFLn
377Please respect copyright.PENANAGRKSSOR52x
"Of course, that's why I'm here."377Please respect copyright.PENANAbWC8b90Q2U
377Please respect copyright.PENANAAeN1r9nzbq
His mouth curved into a crooked grin. "I'm sure you will do great."377Please respect copyright.PENANAngGwwLBrMB
377Please respect copyright.PENANAyCUHXf1mHH
"T-thank you."377Please respect copyright.PENANADp96oC4Q2j
377Please respect copyright.PENANAJGW9EwBTfC
Kalon nodded briefly and pushed back his hair from his forehead. He looked down at several scattered papers on his desk and fingered through them.377Please respect copyright.PENANA1wEEZJehnS
377Please respect copyright.PENANAeKrtTaWjOW
"Very impressed with your categorization," He said as he continued to read. "Certainly made my morning a lot easier."377Please respect copyright.PENANArM0wUeKlmH
377Please respect copyright.PENANA6iYxElKp22
"Thank you...and you're welcome," I smiled a bit at the compliment.377Please respect copyright.PENANAcuMtIx6b0P
377Please respect copyright.PENANA7ECI2RhJVj
"Anyways, I am going to shower and change into something a little more suited for the day. I'll meet you at your room in about an hour." Kalon said and leaned back, his grey eyes roaming over me377Please respect copyright.PENANANzvRpetO0L
377Please respect copyright.PENANAeCSqYWCDOM
"Of course, sir. I'll see you soon." I responded quickly and hurried out of the room before another thought could cross my mind.377Please respect copyright.PENANAdpGUpRaTmK
377Please respect copyright.PENANAKlceGzv5GZ
As soon as the door shut, I leaned against it and tried to steady my breathing. My head was such a mess.377Please respect copyright.PENANA43CaJ6cc1l
377Please respect copyright.PENANAXlJJHWTa6j
I didn't know what Kalon was doing...and what he was doing to me.377Please respect copyright.PENANA4FHm6HtxLx
377Please respect copyright.PENANATgJsKVr75D
Something about him was so fucking addicting. It wasn't even the insanely good looks and power, it was just everything about him.377Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ2tlQIpvu
377Please respect copyright.PENANAM3TpXMzFvh
That next hour went way too fast. I sat on my bed the entire time just thinking about the entire scene that had played out.377Please respect copyright.PENANAtuggVJwOXz
377Please respect copyright.PENANAFEk8vZUwju
Watching Naomi with him had me in a ball of emotions. I couldn't tell if I was jealous or just aroused by the idea of pleasing him.377Please respect copyright.PENANANvNtupdhdK
377Please respect copyright.PENANAbiNyDSJa3p
It felt so wrong to even let that be a thought. He was my boss! He's the reason my life is miserable.377Please respect copyright.PENANALawGsS70Ue
377Please respect copyright.PENANAa3ZoCOHyy8
Despite the mental torture I went through for that next hour when a knock sounded at my door, I quickly dashed across the room to find him standing there.377Please respect copyright.PENANAcZuWbUafz2
377Please respect copyright.PENANAItqeeYZEWI
As always, Kalon looked incredible. His hair was styled and swept away from his face, showing off the curves of his sharp cheekbones and grey eyes roaming over me again.377Please respect copyright.PENANAKgxAgVTJIu
377Please respect copyright.PENANA5fZDZEJ2gH
"Let's go."377Please respect copyright.PENANAVSpJb19Xb7
377Please respect copyright.PENANAk0DpqDrl2O
I nodded and tried to keep up with his long legs the best I could. You'd think he would take into consideration our drastic height difference, but as his assistant, it was my job to keep up with HIM instead.377Please respect copyright.PENANA9CKPfHhoT7
377Please respect copyright.PENANAY9DF8ulA4K
As Kalon and I exited the front of the manor we were greeted by several of his men. I started walking towards the black Escalade but stopped when Kalon snatched me by the elbow.377Please respect copyright.PENANAFLq2pCziOK
377Please respect copyright.PENANAxsvqv6erXV
"What's wrong?"377Please respect copyright.PENANAAtHmcJodOy
377Please respect copyright.PENANAzyVa4lw76r
He shook his head, "I'm driving today."377Please respect copyright.PENANAPWkm6jvY30
377Please respect copyright.PENANAAkvTE4nn9A
I looked at him confused and a bit shocked that we weren't being escorted by the guards. Kalon was not known for taking his employees on joy rides in his own personal cars.377Please respect copyright.PENANALTVWAGKwEV
377Please respect copyright.PENANALgqXXjlySc
If business was involved, it was quick and discreet.377Please respect copyright.PENANAz2qS0IKgLf
377Please respect copyright.PENANAU6WriLze3X
I kept up with him closely as we rounded the driveway to an open garage where several expensive cars sat. I tried to keep my composure and excitement contained as he stepped inside and waited.377Please respect copyright.PENANAs5dMnwwowK
377Please respect copyright.PENANATNSJzYsVJ0
"Something wrong?" I asked after several moments of awkward silence.377Please respect copyright.PENANA2jd5qiv21B
377Please respect copyright.PENANAmw95Mz36yw
He sighed and glanced at his watch. "Pick a car."377Please respect copyright.PENANAQl9mQWftcu
377Please respect copyright.PENANApNejnDdwJi
I tried to swallow the lump building in my throat and scanned the garage. The task of choosing his car for today was not what I had in mind.377Please respect copyright.PENANA6XaJiSKWFs
377Please respect copyright.PENANASnj4ElA4Ie
What if this was some weird kind of test.377Please respect copyright.PENANAgLOmp5Ek4H
377Please respect copyright.PENANAoqwpDIG6a8
"That one."377Please respect copyright.PENANANWw1XQpmDl
377Please respect copyright.PENANAY3rosZsV9s
His eyes followed my gaze and a bit of a smirk played on the corner of his mouth when he noticed I picked out the black Bugatti.377Please respect copyright.PENANAb5GiWi5PwN
377Please respect copyright.PENANAcr8NEc0sFz
Without another word, the two of us climbed into the sleek vehicle and he brought the engine to life. A deep, low grumble filled the silence as he pulled out from the driveway and onto the road confined by the heavy trees that lined the estate.377Please respect copyright.PENANArhydIS6GYZ
377Please respect copyright.PENANAxoulLZKAoZ
I kept my gaze out the window as he drove through into the city. I couldn't help but clutch nervously at the hem of my dress as the road started to blur more and more.377Please respect copyright.PENANACooam8v7YS
377Please respect copyright.PENANAnXNXijzSgR
I'm sure Kalon was more than amused by my horrified expression at his need for speed, but I didn't dare give him that satisfaction.377Please respect copyright.PENANAWiouvKCMir
377Please respect copyright.PENANAEbyLImhRiU
Thankfully, our drive came to an end after a short 20 minutes and the engine was turned off once more.377Please respect copyright.PENANA2vKFiobC5s
377Please respect copyright.PENANAjoIVKhtdQe
"You okay?" Kalon laughed softly.377Please respect copyright.PENANAmzcUUaU2E3
377Please respect copyright.PENANABgzoaJXBT3
I nodded, letting out a big breath. "You sure like to drive...fast."377Please respect copyright.PENANAwdxroHPpTZ
377Please respect copyright.PENANAIOCILg4N5c
"When you have a car like this it's a waste of money to not speed."377Please respect copyright.PENANA31KiRBpapy
377Please respect copyright.PENANAteyOtI9uG2
I tried to force a laugh out in response but didn't entirely agree with his rich boy thinking. I met Kalon at the front of the car, cradling my belongings close to my chest as the front of the casino came into view.377Please respect copyright.PENANAkRLk4EWsnG
377Please respect copyright.PENANAZTlXxfks9p
He slipped his sunglasses off his face and eyed the guards at the front of the door. "Keep quiet unless I address you. Stay close and take plenty of notes."377Please respect copyright.PENANADLb9HJFW2z
377Please respect copyright.PENANAaPm07dMrJx
"Yes, sir."377Please respect copyright.PENANAGYcsSFf7aD
377Please respect copyright.PENANAhpYAy5ExOg
He glared down at me. "It's Kalon."377Please respect copyright.PENANAroGWrdPehz
377Please respect copyright.PENANA1gi2vceM6e
"Sorry, si- I mean Kalon." I blushed and he just shook his head as we entered through the front.377Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2mWJ4OQAR
377Please respect copyright.PENANAHr4pIhRcnW
"Mr. Wolfe! It's such a pleasure to see you."377Please respect copyright.PENANAlzp8XXshjR
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtxWkhQRQlF
I peeped around his shoulder as an unfamiliar man with blonde hair and a nasty looking scar down the right side of his face came into view. In a way, he reminded me a lot of an older version of Jax.377Please respect copyright.PENANAZIBfI2KSbk
377Please respect copyright.PENANAbhX3fruxeA
"Erik, nice to see you."377Please respect copyright.PENANA6TaHjjFNN5
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ5WdTT8cI
"It's been a minute, man!" Erik cheered and tossed an arm around Kalon's shoulders. "Where the fuck have you been?"377Please respect copyright.PENANAD0bW83ghNO
377Please respect copyright.PENANAhS3b5XOKXD
Kalon shrugged him off, "Business."377Please respect copyright.PENANAR4MyoIXaqi
377Please respect copyright.PENANAdbcFf6YfY6
"Yeah, yeah. Always business with you! Axel shows his face around here more than you do, boss."377Please respect copyright.PENANA43k5uGuqUz
377Please respect copyright.PENANAr7cYwgFYxo
Kalon didn't respond and Erik's eyes fell on me hiding behind him. "Woah, Woah! You weren't going to introduce us?" Erik gushed and put his hand out. "Nice to meet you, darling. The name is Erik Krueger."377Please respect copyright.PENANAfdcSwNDaW2
377Please respect copyright.PENANADd2OKrZCYS
"Roberta Quinn."377Please respect copyright.PENANAy6DHUdltuy
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtUB7rKX2Mh
Erik smiled unevenly. "Where has he been hiding you?"377Please respect copyright.PENANAISx91X1HUL
377Please respect copyright.PENANAROm7EKG1Jh
I chuckled, looking away nervously. "I'm just an assistant."377Please respect copyright.PENANAdyHxcZYA6D
377Please respect copyright.PENANAejOYIFcqG7
"She's trying to do her job, Erik. Stop making my employees uncomfortable." Kalon barked out harshly.377Please respect copyright.PENANAPsF5a1BGCB
377Please respect copyright.PENANAEgcH63JzjX
Erik rolled his eyes and stepped away, still keeping me in his view as he talked. "Just being kind to the lady."377Please respect copyright.PENANAZSv98k3IhB
377Please respect copyright.PENANA0eW8Ng2oni
Kalon ignored him. "Where's Vinny? This needs to get going."377Please respect copyright.PENANAfxaJwL9odY
377Please respect copyright.PENANAilcfKTOAKL
"VIP lounge."377Please respect copyright.PENANAPz0kunQU07
377Please respect copyright.PENANA8EreJF4ts3
Kalon nodded and looked back at me, "Come on."377Please respect copyright.PENANAIy8QzzrU9J
377Please respect copyright.PENANAY3Fk6XQTXN
I kept on his heels closely as he led the way through the packed casino. Men in business suits swarmed past us, laughing loudly as they swung their beers around and blew their money at the tables surrounding us. It was lively and girls by the dozen moved around us with silver platters and flapper dresses.377Please respect copyright.PENANAYF0ll5z2Ad
377Please respect copyright.PENANAQGiHxE0ulL
I certainly could see the charm about the place. Despite not fully understanding Kalon's motives, he seemed to be good at one thing for sure.377Please respect copyright.PENANAvBgJATroCh
377Please respect copyright.PENANAbuj1yfaxFo
Business and money.377Please respect copyright.PENANA4rMa5Df4sJ
377Please respect copyright.PENANAyUNIBX9Nd7
The halls started to dim as we turned down a red velvet hallway towards a massive room showing VIP in big, gold letters lit up by lights. A man dressed in all black stood in front of a rope blocking the entrance.377Please respect copyright.PENANA3oUGkpjTzp
377Please respect copyright.PENANAuZMVntxsw6
"Mr. Wolfe." He nodded and moved to the side.377Please respect copyright.PENANAx6rOBYVQmr
377Please respect copyright.PENANAbnruUTXW4Y
I tried to push my nerves down as the two of us entered the room together. Loud house music filled the room and there was a small stage in the middle of the room where a stripper was performing topless.377Please respect copyright.PENANA4gQyxJdyyB
377Please respect copyright.PENANA5OffYWL9jR
The air was hot and full of marijuana and hookah smoke. I watched as Kalon motioned towards a group of men sitting at the back of the room with briefcases laid out on the table in front of them.377Please respect copyright.PENANAHQe9KKt7bV
377Please respect copyright.PENANAIihTTq6qea
"Mr. Santoro."377Please respect copyright.PENANA9E5Vntdst9
377Please respect copyright.PENANAih7WutplvG
One of the older men at the table looked up towards Kalon. His cigar hanging loosely between his lips.377Please respect copyright.PENANAPFQ2uWru20
377Please respect copyright.PENANAw2HYKU9zpr
"Kalon Wolfe," He chuckled and blew out smoke. "Nice to finally see you! I assumed Axel would've been filling in for you today."377Please respect copyright.PENANAZJYOgmNSNT
377Please respect copyright.PENANAUc0XCXCEyH
"I got back into town early."377Please respect copyright.PENANAz7TyC9fbg0
377Please respect copyright.PENANAeVWSXOK3rV
Kalon started to move towards the booth and looked back at me. "Sit behind us."377Please respect copyright.PENANAk99sWZvqrl
377Please respect copyright.PENANANF2G5wG7nM
I nodded and eyed an empty seat at the table behind them and slid into it, keeping the conversation within earshot so I could take notes as he instructed.377Please respect copyright.PENANA1bzYjs6MCz
377Please respect copyright.PENANA3SYaSRi451
The men broke out into some boring conversation about rich people things before finally getting into the real stuff. I listened as attentively as I could as they discussed percentages and cuts.377Please respect copyright.PENANAu9O3CnECkJ
377Please respect copyright.PENANAsXX7XsuoHt
About an hour into the conversation, I could feel my hand going numb. I didn't know anything about this Santoro fellow, but from what I could tell it sounded like he was really wanting to screw Kalon over.377Please respect copyright.PENANApmU0Alqqxu
377Please respect copyright.PENANA7yCeP8Kdk3
"Hey, beautiful."377Please respect copyright.PENANAVdwIsSsmOw
377Please respect copyright.PENANAHRUZrw0TDZ
I put my pen down and looked up as Erik from earlier slid into the booth across from me.377Please respect copyright.PENANAXZbR50CE1q
377Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9SQv0q3hj
"Hey, sorry I'm trying to work."377Please respect copyright.PENANAFu9S7Tr2bQ
377Please respect copyright.PENANARCEq0YUgpA
He smirked. "Probably pretty boring listening to all of that business chat, huh?"377Please respect copyright.PENANAxwGNeft2Ig
377Please respect copyright.PENANA5CcTZzwmDX
I nodded and tried to focus on the notes. "I guess so."377Please respect copyright.PENANAwM1NJFnf2O
377Please respect copyright.PENANARTI45TO2LQ
"I bet working for someone like Kalon Wolfe is pretty scary too."377Please respect copyright.PENANAlstXm52AlS
377Please respect copyright.PENANA0dUmDkkXpL
I looked up, confused. "What do you mean?"377Please respect copyright.PENANA3dr2iJP3sS
377Please respect copyright.PENANAn8mil2A2cw
He rolled his eyes and leaned closer. "You don't have to play it down. Everyone here is just as bad as he is."377Please respect copyright.PENANAeCP1ZKlGuH
377Please respect copyright.PENANAZD3SQYpnVz
"Bad?"377Please respect copyright.PENANAdSbilrAS5z
377Please respect copyright.PENANA5cNy7nrE93
"Bad," He mimicked and slid out a cigarette. "Want one?"377Please respect copyright.PENANAgvXYKGFvBo
377Please respect copyright.PENANA6HUnixZpxm
"No thanks," I shook my head. "And I actually don't really know a lot about the family. I know what I signed is unusual, but Mr. Wolfe tends to be pretty private."377Please respect copyright.PENANA3QblbclM8L
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtZIHwYKvqk
"As he should, he doesn't need girls like you being involved."377Please respect copyright.PENANALAPDUMmnoS
377Please respect copyright.PENANA6d5CfLM8HZ
"Girls like me?" I laughed.377Please respect copyright.PENANATpD2eqBfIq
377Please respect copyright.PENANALpWJZdFteB
"Pretty and innocent," He winked. "I'm shocked he swapped out Naomi for you."377Please respect copyright.PENANA22Whoardo2
377Please respect copyright.PENANAVr0Z7N2Ydd
"Ouch."377Please respect copyright.PENANALHpGOB03fS
377Please respect copyright.PENANAZe0SAZQEzM
He took a puff. "I don't mean it as a negative, cutie. Naomi is a fucking bitch, but a girl like her is definitely cut out for this business."377Please respect copyright.PENANAhIFquSKySF
377Please respect copyright.PENANAez5WPe8iYu
"Well, why don't you enlighten me then," I smiled and leaned forward.377Please respect copyright.PENANAQK4NF3Nz2n
377Please respect copyright.PENANAmGib7AmShN
He shook his head and blew smoke out towards me. "I don't think I should piss your boss off."377Please respect copyright.PENANAIfUbhgBUP2
377Please respect copyright.PENANAh0E44eQyTJ
"Why? Would he kill you?" I teased but honestly wanted to know.377Please respect copyright.PENANA0H86dzj4lq
377Please respect copyright.PENANAVONuTKmWEP
Erik started to lean towards me again to respond but stopped as someone approached us. His eyes darting behind me.377Please respect copyright.PENANAvqQIfvkS45
377Please respect copyright.PENANAGyPp8x05DL
"Let's go, Roberta."377Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ3K5PzNBF
377Please respect copyright.PENANAx1PStNWcJV
I closed my notebook and looked up at Kalon. His eyes still on Erik. He looked super pissed off.377Please respect copyright.PENANAUztf34wyMk
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtuezROvCKg
"See you around." Erik nodded at the two of us and moved out of the booth quickly.377Please respect copyright.PENANAf4yqP6pwG8
377Please respect copyright.PENANAxOeEBk0p0h
Kalon watched as he made his exit and looked down at me, his features stone cold. "What did he say to you?"377Please respect copyright.PENANAH4sBl2uWz5
377Please respect copyright.PENANAlBHirNEh3n
"Nothing, really." I lied.377Please respect copyright.PENANAtC3xdvLtB4
377Please respect copyright.PENANAV6TaByzBlu
I didn't want Kalon to have any reason to hunt Erik down for something so little. I knew Kalon was not a typical billionaire, I wasn't that dumb. I just couldn't get anyone to really admit the full truth to me.377Please respect copyright.PENANAIiK5MrZtEW
377Please respect copyright.PENANAZftjzZ7LqB
"Don't lie to me, Roberta." He said sternly.377Please respect copyright.PENANAabuE08isza
377Please respect copyright.PENANAUGLvIrREVQ
My chest tightened. "I'm not, sir."377Please respect copyright.PENANA8LrQIKF7Lj
377Please respect copyright.PENANAvaQ2HT8tOP
He sighed, angrily. "It's Kalon, dammit."377Please respect copyright.PENANAeUi3OesO1G
377Please respect copyright.PENANACazCiTXJyP
"I'm sorry."377Please respect copyright.PENANAMncjyRosYE
377Please respect copyright.PENANASZeIVbUY8Q
He pinched the bridge of his nose and motioned for me to walk ahead of him. "Just head out to the car, please."377Please respect copyright.PENANAn8KNnVNaPN
377Please respect copyright.PENANApvc72WMsJk
I nodded and made my way out of the room. The tightness in my chest seemed to only get worse and I felt like a fucking idiot. It was my first real day with him and I already was pissing him off.377Please respect copyright.PENANAs1B1j1BG8L
377Please respect copyright.PENANAQmaoVysh31
I could feel his eyes burning into my back as we walked through the casino. I just knew he was going to report back to Naomi about what a failure I was at this. Maybe he would just off me and end my misery before it got worse.377Please respect copyright.PENANAFwJm4oQM22
377Please respect copyright.PENANAA0mKKUnJwB
The guard at the front of the casino nodded as the two of us started to make our exit towards his car. I really just wanted to go home and cry at this point.377Please respect copyright.PENANAyS27GLa5TM
377Please respect copyright.PENANAsHUSICRNjf
I don't know why I even cared about how he reacted to me. I barely knew anything about him and was nothing but a disposable employee to him.377Please respect copyright.PENANAqsQM6GYTkK
377Please respect copyright.PENANAFLhIqqan3T
I'm an idiot for even questioning my feelings towards him. He's my boss, that's it.377Please respect copyright.PENANAXnZgoloiCu
377Please respect copyright.PENANAduNPUDO1Ef
"Wait."377Please respect copyright.PENANA2KIpQtfpaI
377Please respect copyright.PENANAslHu2QSz1X
I stopped in my tracks as Kalon pulled me back towards him by my waist. I felt the stiffness of his stomach against my back and looked up towards him, confused.377Please respect copyright.PENANAAsNjy5mbtv
377Please respect copyright.PENANAdbDKY4B3s6
Before Kalon had time to even react gunfire begun to ring out around us, shattering the windows. I heard the people around us scream in horror as my body hit the building.377Please respect copyright.PENANAqC7uzZVHTF
