That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r7uodPMyO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgo1KLjuje
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGjvhxFMXS
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcpt7Odfg4
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFS1LtIK1V
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0qXdf0XLU
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICYsNeewID
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ205i8FCOKO
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMQq96Oj2j
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsxOVcgwT2
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP7vKB0PEn
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BpYke6lL1
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty9RdsjwsC
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFfzcgpWMT
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaC0fjIL8v
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInN2zLupAY
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMwzZRDXkP
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnoLJoZekR
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqovHGJUhGn
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vLUgxhPc8
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKNOXbC6uN
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH5zA6X8jL
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImJs5717A2
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcAEHwSiYD
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4My2ACRYRi
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaKV2TPHRy
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTdOP9lUOj
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngkKMfYXxe
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tqieu3OIu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C80WrOK5Y
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6iZn6dBh9
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2LmXeG5Uk
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9z8bUDXpH
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡledbz5DFPj
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEvu1xo76p
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvrg914xqB
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBu97Covfr
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqnHQ3VsEe
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgSNPwhvW2
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQclsjFVP5k
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9O1gFc0IB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprXJSqz1L0
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPDCEqNK5V
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jlhcQCKYh
Fucking asshole.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKjrTEmUlD
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlObBw4BTh
"Let's go, Roberta!"405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqtU59H1FJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkgXa6qyxq
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUvH0XeUe2
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh3nGuR2gD
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotxIxg3GGB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRmbypzzaY
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0wGAfqkBy
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4PIx0k5GK
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnx5lG4mdJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRiKR1fECA
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFjN8xUR3v
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSEqzesktt
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOLgTlIbqu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW7WvaUC8x
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."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnICFtvSJ8P
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQa9jmY9hY
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnovdM3iy6R
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrBdGBAAaX
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZPJXUma5H
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwavJgPbgJs
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ093uBHwjMP
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsEq8ycMJR
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL7P8DQgvx
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoNw2R9QzL
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjrPQ2Y2ou
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ981LCMEPdy
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbsqBBFu05
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs72MiYOIR
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypEv2Y8OYV
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXU7n4cYIH
"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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMGfFZcAAN
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsr0Y7Dk1l
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYdKg9otXW
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG5YfZxypM
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2zgYBrA8x
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm3en631AA
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cElrCmaD5
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysV1XXb8mq
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7gIg1FgRa
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhoTUvDkob
"The girls love it." He laughed.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFTlX6KdRz
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFbc8hnL0f
I blinked. "What?"405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vKjaG6Qsy
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoUfHdFQ46
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYlTlblSJI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh08wx3FGsD
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuME30RHFu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPrvBPBJQD
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF6DpTNOrH
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHogCVud9EB
"Ma'am?"405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznYVF3f0yw
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVV0jyziRJ
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd7iSBfEZ7
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1h6EXhnOI
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeGzacZnsu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S3cNegCil
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiboRUZNyzh
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghAjq3leFK
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTWExJWYt3
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ889cd2kwli
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSGDdW7Gwd
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCaUK0uFh6
"Beautiful hands."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8sIZL9XTK
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgS6GRJxF6
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJeuuFuCrT
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDKfXWJrf5
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec7idbIGzh
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBjdWsa9Ei
"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."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX6CGUXxRf
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC6f5ZEkWS
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz6fAPQZZu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8r6tbRCb6
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9orRPVM1f6
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmlrxjDJnc
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ2DbvFvBP
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3nuUH8PGC
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVb4Vg1QA5
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0aEOLJwKU
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DNjV1pUtV
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXC6lKLMJd
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKELqdCnxSw
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHB53LzhDV
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB8ZnUbVpQ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpBCS1us9E
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigd6NXDGrD
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q8WTYlcuJ
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fz6H4zazh
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9qWW5Rf4F
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kFzlsu19w
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVouzuf7z8
"And Carlos?"405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRCsI48JYK
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcJKY9WTpK
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTS7tVKcRG
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dhdo7e49D
"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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyHrQORetM
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1x7yBmORc
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92M2UCNuc7
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgKnQqaPEv
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUeZdxY6Zr
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQyDA5vEYf
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt48zuTox1
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGpSqIjLyV
"Curious, I guess."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Ow4JbRFO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz0PP9nXGa
"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."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWottZsSOo
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP9ITLWZZA
"Oh, I'll surprise you."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERREqFnRdi
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuOChlaMuh
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunpDvhIJjy
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97plz0aSxV
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4GJVhBxkU
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMnbHGugYU
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GZV2DmULP
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5aYp6SXJm
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSg2jzgHbf
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI43L1xkQjE
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLYMhuK6DR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiKDLfnYJF
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwuNFQf5sX
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxohtWfNFOn
"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."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2gd03JE6J
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtdw6PPTjp
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTGxH7GMrR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgSA6NtCA0
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWUN6zUFLm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBVHM5Uo4C
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinMpTlvLnw
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUwFFAi0i1
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYELAye1rB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GLwQN4wZk
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTnztyEtMf
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAr6BkP8jk
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9x0pN3GXK
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh6SikNWW6
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCFUl5Ux5Q
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeUaZ43ZrV
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl7LP2PmLR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC94RpeJ6wH
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0SaC4RF5l
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjAh03l3ae
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvphBiwjsJP
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNNtqBgv8C
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMjatmx3UK
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdujVLdurh
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcjymwoczU
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmY5MsNjme
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6HM011evR
