That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 336Please respect copyright.PENANAbp1f4Ld7iV
336Please respect copyright.PENANARVv1N7wcGm
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.336Please respect copyright.PENANADBYJVKRqVh
336Please respect copyright.PENANA0upPJvl7ue
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAS6UshzfL4Q
336Please respect copyright.PENANA8jOKJm2qj4
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!336Please respect copyright.PENANAWwTEtG14Pa
336Please respect copyright.PENANA6zG3dpvqYV
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANA0zbPA5RCvz
336Please respect copyright.PENANAD3tbtlDgQv
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAWdblkBeEMM
336Please respect copyright.PENANAIUMr5txxp6
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANALAJ86SUDcW
336Please respect copyright.PENANA2kJcTo2AeV
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAuB4Q9D2BGg
336Please respect copyright.PENANAvmoirBLmiE
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.336Please respect copyright.PENANAAReMD39XOO
336Please respect copyright.PENANA1J1dwWiDDZ
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAvhXsmG1lFg
336Please respect copyright.PENANAWrfv8cJtiH
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 336Please respect copyright.PENANASx3VjRcN4Y
336Please respect copyright.PENANALA8ORCtTiV
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAnMeLzicfGv
336Please respect copyright.PENANA6sGb0MwFwJ
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAGG4GtdrVTA
336Please respect copyright.PENANApKcGfW9T0C
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1oJWvnnSy
336Please respect copyright.PENANAbCIR6wJ6SP
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANA4f2FN5MRaN
336Please respect copyright.PENANAJqZt5dA2jg
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANA2uP5z4nOHu
336Please respect copyright.PENANAxzo7JSVqL4
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANALVrQulowVJ
336Please respect copyright.PENANASIKy3D86cX
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.336Please respect copyright.PENANAwBId8u0CtH
336Please respect copyright.PENANAajKdHlJKtr
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.336Please respect copyright.PENANAVXVPsqXmAw
336Please respect copyright.PENANAQI8WcZ1SPI
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.336Please respect copyright.PENANAeCbzg5RN63
336Please respect copyright.PENANAThVK5UIM3I
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAZyMHX2SF9l
336Please respect copyright.PENANA0LDOMCdjtB
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAvq7lFGKrMc
336Please respect copyright.PENANAEqWdkBMw2g
Fucking asshole.336Please respect copyright.PENANAfVN0wC7SW4
336Please respect copyright.PENANAvVtEoDUOtF
"Let's go, Roberta!"336Please respect copyright.PENANA6VuSxXmb7y
336Please respect copyright.PENANAsjpBbDl0hZ
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.336Please respect copyright.PENANASDaAbyAfty
336Please respect copyright.PENANAjGXEjA5BHZ
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.336Please respect copyright.PENANAKGiCFmTBQh
336Please respect copyright.PENANAYCnXlPuzjU
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAg4MWNxHWUW
336Please respect copyright.PENANA34wlLmLxqm
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAyj6L1UIWmE
336Please respect copyright.PENANAAaolgzcQlF
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."336Please respect copyright.PENANAZYeiCqliGE
336Please respect copyright.PENANAem7OXGJ33u
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"336Please respect copyright.PENANAdeDbMBxbag
336Please respect copyright.PENANAeiLqV4CLzx
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."336Please respect copyright.PENANAV6du4SmFl9
336Please respect copyright.PENANA6q0Moa9PUR
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"336Please respect copyright.PENANAcrkOkRkLSl
336Please respect copyright.PENANAwCHOlnK2qI
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."336Please respect copyright.PENANAn96JVgEBJX
336Please respect copyright.PENANAUwNOCT0G9L
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAXOMLJ1dtOx
336Please respect copyright.PENANAnwikEWzMyJ
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAqGW3HBQe9N
336Please respect copyright.PENANA6VQzKm1ZIN
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAsbrWPWHaYA
336Please respect copyright.PENANArlVRDiJ2J1
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"336Please respect copyright.PENANARuiNw4VClC
336Please respect copyright.PENANAs7bdb35yXy
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAQQr3H0Zyoz
336Please respect copyright.PENANAm37bQC5yAe
"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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAvph7GQc940
336Please respect copyright.PENANA3bK2LeayTx
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAMtECxE3a2A
336Please respect copyright.PENANAKWrhsS1sS0
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.336Please respect copyright.PENANA0al004bL7Q
336Please respect copyright.PENANAgNpB7PFLjE
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."336Please respect copyright.PENANA9d25m3Qx0M
336Please respect copyright.PENANARcE385Et3v
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.336Please respect copyright.PENANAdLZI7tgGtm
336Please respect copyright.PENANAgqYxEx7cqG
"The girls love it." He laughed.336Please respect copyright.PENANARAGSzSBd3Y
336Please respect copyright.PENANAsH6Wzgkftm
I blinked. "What?"336Please respect copyright.PENANAYzyIuky8lW
336Please respect copyright.PENANATsbuuYG7cb
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."336Please respect copyright.PENANAsIIwZAUXig
336Please respect copyright.PENANAcUUg0fsKyv
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"336Please respect copyright.PENANALFL6rb2V12
336Please respect copyright.PENANAozayVcU7om
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANACiFj6Ch4ak
336Please respect copyright.PENANAnCGJPCi7Mx
"Ma'am?"336Please respect copyright.PENANA68X8Yuarc1
336Please respect copyright.PENANAB6U9b4JsIJ
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.336Please respect copyright.PENANApzBJOrKsS4
336Please respect copyright.PENANAMHO1wp0dLB
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAC0gDltp5y0
336Please respect copyright.PENANA7ibumNJZel
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 336Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9IrOKmoCt
336Please respect copyright.PENANAkes3q2CXOX
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAFnvxHUqOAE
336Please respect copyright.PENANALg9SuaARIA
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.336Please respect copyright.PENANAaPIBlCqXYf
336Please respect copyright.PENANAKaZvFhvsOz
"Beautiful hands."336Please respect copyright.PENANAJtBdUwKqCw
336Please respect copyright.PENANAxKXeJz0FF6
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.336Please respect copyright.PENANA4D2EvNFFWS
336Please respect copyright.PENANAtpf2VeipCw
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAinQDxjo4MV
336Please respect copyright.PENANAosvHnAfEjZ
"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."336Please respect copyright.PENANABTVTyPysd5
336Please respect copyright.PENANAPXrt20cxLa
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."336Please respect copyright.PENANAsCScXGqv7z
336Please respect copyright.PENANAPfO7pfojIm
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."336Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ2noLXGGu
336Please respect copyright.PENANA6TISh8Ic7y
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.336Please respect copyright.PENANAD8fTVEqLhE
336Please respect copyright.PENANA8boq5a62Yf
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."336Please respect copyright.PENANAnQj9gAr9lz
336Please respect copyright.PENANALdjLjBTqKq
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."336Please respect copyright.PENANAjIhCzR1wA2
336Please respect copyright.PENANAAkaZ4qH5EZ
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"336Please respect copyright.PENANAyFmcxrckeW
336Please respect copyright.PENANA8rA4dMIouE
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."336Please respect copyright.PENANAZXCnN8TrH8
336Please respect copyright.PENANANamyx79uwo
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."336Please respect copyright.PENANAcmEJkMnjUg
336Please respect copyright.PENANAMAcZmROSE5
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"336Please respect copyright.PENANAAJfpMc1sPx
336Please respect copyright.PENANA8EPlm9j09U
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."336Please respect copyright.PENANAlzDPluRAL4
336Please respect copyright.PENANAZT5WijRj00
"And Carlos?"336Please respect copyright.PENANA8a0ozhn8Q7
336Please respect copyright.PENANAzsCpjjMqC5
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.336Please respect copyright.PENANA3FlcUUsoAI
336Please respect copyright.PENANA5ouhdguLTb
"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.336Please respect copyright.PENANACmZe0MYyKC
336Please respect copyright.PENANAZxLKgGm1GP
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.336Please respect copyright.PENANAZE9nFim26O
336Please respect copyright.PENANAwgbLt1EWqs
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.336Please respect copyright.PENANAiGJfdZauGJ
336Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ2bCRIjWC
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."336Please respect copyright.PENANA8wyofp6aZw
336Please respect copyright.PENANABlgTQhxsOb
"Curious, I guess."336Please respect copyright.PENANAyZOzzBrHct
336Please respect copyright.PENANAd4snzEgsgd
"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."336Please respect copyright.PENANA1lFvvE1yTi
336Please respect copyright.PENANAbZllNsgHDq
"Oh, I'll surprise you."336Please respect copyright.PENANApqGArz9d8v
336Please respect copyright.PENANAQoxOkT4Q7E
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."336Please respect copyright.PENANA9qAfEpgJY0
336Please respect copyright.PENANAaXnHT7di2n
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"336Please respect copyright.PENANAPwc5BE6CyG
336Please respect copyright.PENANAjlc8wY7lBJ
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."336Please respect copyright.PENANANT0OBnBiS3
336Please respect copyright.PENANA5aA0CFVnN3
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.336Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZLdpid50s
336Please respect copyright.PENANAGTYekD1ybY
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."336Please respect copyright.PENANA1IaL6ARX6T
336Please respect copyright.PENANArzkj72d1jI
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.336Please respect copyright.PENANAQt0l7ml6Eo
336Please respect copyright.PENANAgAhzKsICFb
"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."336Please respect copyright.PENANAB5Nd9H9dNs
336Please respect copyright.PENANArT9NnVVqtz
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."336Please respect copyright.PENANAUSOthZwPIR
336Please respect copyright.PENANAEUwd66Fkna
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."336Please respect copyright.PENANAcFN48BSPbX
336Please respect copyright.PENANAdkPt9RlZpW
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAeenmiLrekD
336Please respect copyright.PENANA9aO1KBtBFR
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.336Please respect copyright.PENANAu9ybUFfkbF
336Please respect copyright.PENANAlmwZ0cAdPX
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."336Please respect copyright.PENANAgg0C1dddOV
336Please respect copyright.PENANAwJcwFlwxsc
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.336Please respect copyright.PENANAAG2TSXzJRi
336Please respect copyright.PENANAyTeQ6Px2sX
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."336Please respect copyright.PENANAAwQMj2xDnQ
336Please respect copyright.PENANAZWZvfNzAvI
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."336Please respect copyright.PENANATw1cQa1qSV
336Please respect copyright.PENANAG83dcWygTU
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."336Please respect copyright.PENANAVOIYxqsOPx
336Please respect copyright.PENANAEi8afyPRuu
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.336Please respect copyright.PENANAjKf3HZdQsL
336Please respect copyright.PENANAFEQwwDTMJz
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.336Please respect copyright.PENANArWxfM5U3g3
336Please respect copyright.PENANAGbNW46CcTY
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.336Please respect copyright.PENANAKgBtJNDLKM
336Please respect copyright.PENANAKRIsU95MI9
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.336Please respect copyright.PENANA0eOQBw1bNQ
336Please respect copyright.PENANAuWRBT5anXd
