That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAprm6TJQgh9
219Please respect copyright.PENANAUf4tJFxhOV
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.219Please respect copyright.PENANAAgA4MoAbxR
219Please respect copyright.PENANAwO3nKIPez4
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANA0rKjkJTsgh
219Please respect copyright.PENANAy5RDWoGzBO
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!219Please respect copyright.PENANADoaHu4tQp7
219Please respect copyright.PENANAYp24bAGGfN
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAE8j2641bF1
219Please respect copyright.PENANAJtfQwYHBZy
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAUSaDd3AZAm
219Please respect copyright.PENANAfQfxzuH5s3
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAZbwFl7HDEf
219Please respect copyright.PENANA2AuDGGrD2Y
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAYYI65Uz2XO
219Please respect copyright.PENANAgsl8nxT8fJ
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.219Please respect copyright.PENANAHw47KsXym5
219Please respect copyright.PENANAKVNvGdgH9a
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAmE1MHa2ByY
219Please respect copyright.PENANAxykUqQlfih
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 219Please respect copyright.PENANA65Cp3vlQMI
219Please respect copyright.PENANAa3BsguQzMP
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAGkak3g8iea
219Please respect copyright.PENANAWh6hV9TzE8
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANArd3NmkrJX1
219Please respect copyright.PENANAdGwyucANHl
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAtfrZtpeEyp
219Please respect copyright.PENANAIDnvtjVHmn
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAdAxw5PELIt
219Please respect copyright.PENANALHeXJ64Njz
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAS8PwoeXY5m
219Please respect copyright.PENANAduf0og7gYJ
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAvk94j9k4is
219Please respect copyright.PENANAo3urGShO5I
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.219Please respect copyright.PENANAR9Nwst3vcJ
219Please respect copyright.PENANA4gP4J2qki5
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.219Please respect copyright.PENANARdhAnJJvSs
219Please respect copyright.PENANASjzWCBN2fu
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.219Please respect copyright.PENANAHCTiIQrHcY
219Please respect copyright.PENANAyjH1unDVt6
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANApjPIqSWh4r
219Please respect copyright.PENANAfYABNA3eD4
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAG6UpOZTzzQ
219Please respect copyright.PENANAwTXWjVkQEN
Fucking asshole.219Please respect copyright.PENANAaJxhIDTbyO
219Please respect copyright.PENANAnZnmTuWhTN
"Let's go, Roberta!"219Please respect copyright.PENANA0SjTYobXNV
219Please respect copyright.PENANACZxNQHtBt7
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.219Please respect copyright.PENANA9J6IQElSKi
219Please respect copyright.PENANAUjMaoZjVyo
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.219Please respect copyright.PENANAfzZ2tPZELn
219Please respect copyright.PENANA4yYtz28YoF
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANA9GqyTzT2QE
219Please respect copyright.PENANAIHpKMEKt4A
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAH9lT5V25Vv
219Please respect copyright.PENANAhLay2XP1cV
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."219Please respect copyright.PENANA095iVzZJbX
219Please respect copyright.PENANA51oDx2b7CP
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"219Please respect copyright.PENANA91PY0YPnpz
219Please respect copyright.PENANAwyw94j83Ab
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."219Please respect copyright.PENANAuZe3KCjFRb
219Please respect copyright.PENANAuaxCmziKlT
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAxut6w1hMGf
219Please respect copyright.PENANAGWjJKgdWbB
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."219Please respect copyright.PENANANX8tl8LrQC
219Please respect copyright.PENANAgB6HOlsCn9
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ0ws7ovrR
219Please respect copyright.PENANA49TwfE3PlL
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAamLY9gYCAK
219Please respect copyright.PENANAlpM8Y1cHSv
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAFAnDBVAByh
219Please respect copyright.PENANAE4dYwCSS7c
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAzyLiYAfoAU
219Please respect copyright.PENANA29P552crRG
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAd67W8sf7a9
219Please respect copyright.PENANAbmdlZ5WaDS
"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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAMLKZCjtexb
219Please respect copyright.PENANA6z6Btwcu7e
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANARuvCOKdxsZ
219Please respect copyright.PENANAD1FWlZltqC
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.219Please respect copyright.PENANAcTKAr0begW
219Please respect copyright.PENANAeaVy4tVdv6
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."219Please respect copyright.PENANA1PY3r2D42X
219Please respect copyright.PENANAe4R5Rl70Ug
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.219Please respect copyright.PENANAFvrh1VKH7C
219Please respect copyright.PENANAP8y6bGDr8A
"The girls love it." He laughed.219Please respect copyright.PENANAaGr4uRZiOQ
219Please respect copyright.PENANAE6XDXxpzra
I blinked. "What?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2u2M5rASF
219Please respect copyright.PENANAqjk3jTTm2A
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."219Please respect copyright.PENANALLhaQIWTTm
219Please respect copyright.PENANAuw6m40qRVx
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAktUgqPWUFn
219Please respect copyright.PENANAHPSeGUrPYF
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAre6hXsPxQo
219Please respect copyright.PENANA9kgKT442G7
"Ma'am?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAOKq2K5Fzl0
219Please respect copyright.PENANAdGCSG7NMnz
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.219Please respect copyright.PENANAo3apVAGw9r
219Please respect copyright.PENANArZYRjZL0DM
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAN0qnPHFU73
219Please respect copyright.PENANARSvQCu68xa
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAM3qJfNvftA
219Please respect copyright.PENANAfo8DBYhOqu
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAUISAs1qijR
219Please respect copyright.PENANAqluFpWQeUQ
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.219Please respect copyright.PENANAnutDeQEtgy
219Please respect copyright.PENANAvXS6r63eHW
"Beautiful hands."219Please respect copyright.PENANArCLc2AWROl
219Please respect copyright.PENANAaKDiV5QlUH
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.219Please respect copyright.PENANAXtxq59CZpO
219Please respect copyright.PENANAcrzFrrgekn
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAIzkrVfBtj8
219Please respect copyright.PENANAceXdwG2f90
"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."219Please respect copyright.PENANAF59OH6CE2J
219Please respect copyright.PENANANK9LVJKXrQ
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."219Please respect copyright.PENANAA8xLbchUqj
219Please respect copyright.PENANAzfhU4emmmZ
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."219Please respect copyright.PENANAFuLKIl6MBA
219Please respect copyright.PENANArcxjmA3XaD
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.219Please respect copyright.PENANAEX0U776PSf
219Please respect copyright.PENANAY1pErxxFkj
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."219Please respect copyright.PENANApPrXpFnPog
219Please respect copyright.PENANAennjG4ypWh
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."219Please respect copyright.PENANAAIGjomlxxS
219Please respect copyright.PENANAOpy2K2fn1q
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAjOdytKtqs5
219Please respect copyright.PENANAK1fscvBXFP
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."219Please respect copyright.PENANAFzaNo5MzO8
219Please respect copyright.PENANAL6SSTkJss3
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."219Please respect copyright.PENANAxgsd6C56SH
219Please respect copyright.PENANAVOOVjd2Sx4
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAQQVk907CWA
219Please respect copyright.PENANAuPHhUuXsBI
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."219Please respect copyright.PENANAlepUdmC0zz
219Please respect copyright.PENANAC8yiglhhr9
"And Carlos?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAUGCJhaknzO
219Please respect copyright.PENANAUBRNynARqo
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.219Please respect copyright.PENANArcowGe3nJU
219Please respect copyright.PENANAIeHVFf9J8P
"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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAM3wsowRYqT
219Please respect copyright.PENANABLUhFEz4kB
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.219Please respect copyright.PENANAV8uBQm4q1b
219Please respect copyright.PENANAmH1vdH3DBz
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.219Please respect copyright.PENANAvMndeNus90
219Please respect copyright.PENANAx68yPRqlzo
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."219Please respect copyright.PENANAWAcVRuN1bH
219Please respect copyright.PENANAtIuThfcW0O
"Curious, I guess."219Please respect copyright.PENANAM85Rh9Flnh
219Please respect copyright.PENANA9jUZ6yH8FD
"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."219Please respect copyright.PENANAsHmMJj1dlf
219Please respect copyright.PENANAWA7PnmWex1
"Oh, I'll surprise you."219Please respect copyright.PENANANj91IJl4tD
219Please respect copyright.PENANArTY4J3x7xz
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."219Please respect copyright.PENANAyLzMRUaoW5
219Please respect copyright.PENANA9MWNZ7XQsE
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAQfoCvQbS1y
219Please respect copyright.PENANACERaUzDjRE
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."219Please respect copyright.PENANAzRFYyoCEOK
219Please respect copyright.PENANAafvxiC23YT
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.219Please respect copyright.PENANAhKKyGjRVI8
219Please respect copyright.PENANAk1PeFztxDx
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."219Please respect copyright.PENANAF1iAJICmMG
219Please respect copyright.PENANADBylMwGU6w
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.219Please respect copyright.PENANAKYeJmCSH8Y
219Please respect copyright.PENANAl51uSgcpiq
"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."219Please respect copyright.PENANAPhJgxf01uV
219Please respect copyright.PENANApBvjbmLqKq
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."219Please respect copyright.PENANAtciEXbzijy
219Please respect copyright.PENANArjiKrrcf0j
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."219Please respect copyright.PENANAinY3TsVL1C
219Please respect copyright.PENANApDyYPFTzPI
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAJpzNfey9i0
219Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3WibDzRtL
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.219Please respect copyright.PENANAjM1h9fzKKO
219Please respect copyright.PENANAjPLJcDD8AW
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."219Please respect copyright.PENANA7eMTnw7yO8
219Please respect copyright.PENANAC1hvUjuYX3
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.219Please respect copyright.PENANA3QtwnTOZck
219Please respect copyright.PENANAdRSvtXQsIZ
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."219Please respect copyright.PENANA9PWXJ2bDxO
219Please respect copyright.PENANAOsySmC8MmR
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."219Please respect copyright.PENANA4uVjrw37Yv
219Please respect copyright.PENANA2X9AEffE28
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."219Please respect copyright.PENANAk6oKG2ToCp
219Please respect copyright.PENANAKjD7Z3nXg6
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.219Please respect copyright.PENANAiqPo6WAJjX
219Please respect copyright.PENANA7wbm1ftWaV
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.219Please respect copyright.PENANApy14HTkF3I
219Please respect copyright.PENANAZn0qbmlVka
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.219Please respect copyright.PENANAfAWGwyYmQ1
219Please respect copyright.PENANAXyL0SroYEb
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.219Please respect copyright.PENANAVayElGKJvQ
219Please respect copyright.PENANAPTDuETxzD4
