That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 209Please respect copyright.PENANAv6enxmnLWW
209Please respect copyright.PENANAzniRtpEGJz
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.209Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5sdAmvh5q
209Please respect copyright.PENANAuDbcrHH85y
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANACKapoVfFPe
209Please respect copyright.PENANATfqhETir4n
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!209Please respect copyright.PENANAHfllBetqJB
209Please respect copyright.PENANAUBXUxaXbnp
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAFyZjokDnuX
209Please respect copyright.PENANAfIszdcoicD
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAd8uWSBzbbP
209Please respect copyright.PENANAB4Na2UTMZ8
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAl6YeU8bLHY
209Please respect copyright.PENANAylh2ZG7XbB
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANA075j3MNp3D
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjdrVaY4rDf
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.209Please respect copyright.PENANAlvyOMSLLsB
209Please respect copyright.PENANATJLMToS6pb
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAJoCb8kTFPa
209Please respect copyright.PENANAPpNJ33AUYe
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 209Please respect copyright.PENANA6bwvamqiXL
209Please respect copyright.PENANAXu9U3RHID2
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAl4BmgPziMU
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjevl0eRh52
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAtdiJ1GKEbA
209Please respect copyright.PENANAqD83wkmW3a
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAVvSAE7iyA3
209Please respect copyright.PENANAh143BZvg04
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAEuvZLDHqca
209Please respect copyright.PENANACZ3Pe1FEpW
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAX3A5bHGL66
209Please respect copyright.PENANAVQupzslRh2
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAqEA2wlDtAV
209Please respect copyright.PENANAnIYhrov2fy
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.209Please respect copyright.PENANAZU611Fnor5
209Please respect copyright.PENANAp8YIBDZNo2
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.209Please respect copyright.PENANArYSRTj34Sr
209Please respect copyright.PENANAfJUkbAQMji
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.209Please respect copyright.PENANAtc7x2zOBY8
209Please respect copyright.PENANAaUWZLJUuNA
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANA0d0M0oiVAH
209Please respect copyright.PENANAVg6yUBgH9A
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANA2ownwN59nh
209Please respect copyright.PENANAlDXiiH0yLe
Fucking asshole.209Please respect copyright.PENANACnYwZhOsQL
209Please respect copyright.PENANABtejWclPEY
"Let's go, Roberta!"209Please respect copyright.PENANAdRac4uY57C
209Please respect copyright.PENANArAVKObAUxT
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.209Please respect copyright.PENANAVV1a5coTOE
209Please respect copyright.PENANA8m7mm1cUwL
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.209Please respect copyright.PENANAEI5J7WMkM9
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjn7KsrearT
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAxOeb4POnUG
209Please respect copyright.PENANAx87c9fGFLN
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAJOEji9Adoo
209Please respect copyright.PENANAKRWg60XbV5
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."209Please respect copyright.PENANA1bY5rMG1Bq
209Please respect copyright.PENANA23i7ZgP5O1
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"209Please respect copyright.PENANA04INfOOqZX
209Please respect copyright.PENANAsgMUmes6mp
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."209Please respect copyright.PENANAfTOeokY9Cb
209Please respect copyright.PENANAEOn0jGod4S
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"209Please respect copyright.PENANA6lUzAu3f8p
209Please respect copyright.PENANAkwwZOTW9aA
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."209Please respect copyright.PENANAc7Cs0lwUOL
209Please respect copyright.PENANA8DfyiGcih5
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANA800jCgCybI
209Please respect copyright.PENANAC9iYg8C3KG
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANA2vv9wI6TB5
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjioqfBNAql
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANARTrIn94GON
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjkyiYThBAT
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"209Please respect copyright.PENANALhtQX1gLLf
209Please respect copyright.PENANAkAKrJbLtT1
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAfKVJts6jl9
209Please respect copyright.PENANAPz0NECOBdm
"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.209Please respect copyright.PENANACc9LF3lL5J
209Please respect copyright.PENANA6eWDpM42hr
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAgrpnGe9j0j
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQa8MsuoUE6
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.209Please respect copyright.PENANAmVAN9rxVl5
209Please respect copyright.PENANAzYQGZVkCLW
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."209Please respect copyright.PENANALqOYZJVLl6
209Please respect copyright.PENANAsGUcgl3JFp
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.209Please respect copyright.PENANAywIfKsp1JY
209Please respect copyright.PENANAsmXzdhhbZ9
"The girls love it." He laughed.209Please respect copyright.PENANAZR3ictXNG8
209Please respect copyright.PENANAUj3UbInc4g
I blinked. "What?"209Please respect copyright.PENANAgSykN13ctH
209Please respect copyright.PENANAPuge5mjNnn
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."209Please respect copyright.PENANAiXqu8FL1eG
209Please respect copyright.PENANAMb31WWhGlS
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"209Please respect copyright.PENANA9XLsirWVsO
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjfsQSfFdV2
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAWoF97rI98e
209Please respect copyright.PENANA80DoJt3aya
"Ma'am?"209Please respect copyright.PENANAb0ZjD1rNFM
209Please respect copyright.PENANANTDu6cCUgZ
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.209Please respect copyright.PENANADrsk5cSQW1
209Please respect copyright.PENANAEaQPdQHYn0
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAybIJlOOUKM
209Please respect copyright.PENANAas8MptrNNu
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 209Please respect copyright.PENANAUUo1s49s2c
209Please respect copyright.PENANA2YfFrqXB2G
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAX3UbLQS2NH
209Please respect copyright.PENANAdH7YKUo1Cs
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.209Please respect copyright.PENANA2D5kljP2Lm
209Please respect copyright.PENANAuIxE4A3fn8
"Beautiful hands."209Please respect copyright.PENANAhmKw5GhkB0
209Please respect copyright.PENANAkrcDQeZ4vy
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.209Please respect copyright.PENANAp2kX8XscF1
209Please respect copyright.PENANAc7f76PN7J3
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAQx8GaNCGtF
209Please respect copyright.PENANAYBIBwKMCLo
"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."209Please respect copyright.PENANADFvHh4vwkj
209Please respect copyright.PENANAtbyo6n1y7l
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."209Please respect copyright.PENANAHOEJIsOEPz
209Please respect copyright.PENANAMy1uuoz9t8
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."209Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3809xdG2P
209Please respect copyright.PENANAmdoPaErjTo
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.209Please respect copyright.PENANADzeKk3A3mU
209Please respect copyright.PENANAmtJDsCasFB
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."209Please respect copyright.PENANAMxmanznHJK
209Please respect copyright.PENANAqxkxWwXG3c
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."209Please respect copyright.PENANA0ao6q6hcZX
209Please respect copyright.PENANAGaeJgqFJNH
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"209Please respect copyright.PENANA0FAyntuWXy
209Please respect copyright.PENANAmDehjRMjx6
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."209Please respect copyright.PENANAF0fgeFsgEP
209Please respect copyright.PENANARSqY6p31Kl
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."209Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ3M9puhdg
209Please respect copyright.PENANAzLN693SuqG
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"209Please respect copyright.PENANAupExU5OfzR
209Please respect copyright.PENANAoSH2AWs9Vq
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."209Please respect copyright.PENANAHl0skSVuyE
209Please respect copyright.PENANAlZaXAVZMJV
"And Carlos?"209Please respect copyright.PENANAzZs5nFkSl9
209Please respect copyright.PENANAM0KwNwfRLX
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.209Please respect copyright.PENANAOcMEkEDdW5
209Please respect copyright.PENANAAFohGkNuUV
"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.209Please respect copyright.PENANACj1irTXI6z
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjlaz7Y6FXT
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.209Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3Saos6Yiu
209Please respect copyright.PENANAtA3YCY5bxz
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.209Please respect copyright.PENANAexavQfHm47
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjN27WhbQ1z
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."209Please respect copyright.PENANAF6O9OfGxd7
209Please respect copyright.PENANA8P2GPeascn
"Curious, I guess."209Please respect copyright.PENANAxSesHWBuSd
209Please respect copyright.PENANAabdhUzNWV8
"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."209Please respect copyright.PENANAt2PvU99ntV
209Please respect copyright.PENANA00oNazeXXv
"Oh, I'll surprise you."209Please respect copyright.PENANAF25yXR7RnP
209Please respect copyright.PENANAUz58uOZWWF
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."209Please respect copyright.PENANA7pbVDR3DUP
209Please respect copyright.PENANAKZan8kTY8o
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"209Please respect copyright.PENANAjVdXypYiX3
209Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7cJDhKzjD
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."209Please respect copyright.PENANA1TRr4AR4cr
209Please respect copyright.PENANALIbjgbFIPR
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.209Please respect copyright.PENANAArnQjldCcn
209Please respect copyright.PENANAeVh3xhHBLa
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."209Please respect copyright.PENANAImuDprMktm
209Please respect copyright.PENANA9KNceabaDP
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.209Please respect copyright.PENANAu4w81sWoJv
209Please respect copyright.PENANAoCjaJHMA8i
"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."209Please respect copyright.PENANAcnRQgcKCLM
209Please respect copyright.PENANA53lkMqTb6f
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."209Please respect copyright.PENANAc5ZCfnWDW9
209Please respect copyright.PENANAfMN0LOSoya
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."209Please respect copyright.PENANADCLk9o584d
209Please respect copyright.PENANA9zRrjiJ7ON
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAI2qHcxmzE1
209Please respect copyright.PENANAw9mT7x0nyM
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAdu1xiYTe5v
209Please respect copyright.PENANAJcmGMk8g7J
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."209Please respect copyright.PENANAuYwNDljd6d
209Please respect copyright.PENANA4DzuBkGee8
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.209Please respect copyright.PENANAlsddoDq6lQ
209Please respect copyright.PENANAoZY2yZzh6z
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."209Please respect copyright.PENANABPO4J3R8h0
209Please respect copyright.PENANAoiuV0gaYSo
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."209Please respect copyright.PENANAkwvk2CFdvm
209Please respect copyright.PENANAX2g59FPiWm
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."209Please respect copyright.PENANAoLpF2rF5B8
209Please respect copyright.PENANA0G1TM1slJu
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.209Please respect copyright.PENANAT5JEGzxQSp
209Please respect copyright.PENANAlYNIJlUkAD
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.209Please respect copyright.PENANAYSSJl9klA7
209Please respect copyright.PENANApzSxnC5z42
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.209Please respect copyright.PENANAw5dzbR0VaI
209Please respect copyright.PENANALbsQBN4qVP
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.209Please respect copyright.PENANAKD7HDAnCkp
209Please respect copyright.PENANAR8citJNKih
