That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 205Please respect copyright.PENANAkB8V0Oj4vR
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZJfNFrxQv6
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.205Please respect copyright.PENANAwbEWBWXhwf
205Please respect copyright.PENANAtdNS9uCqFh
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANA6yMTkGpPua
205Please respect copyright.PENANAN4DjUjyBFt
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!205Please respect copyright.PENANAUkFE9rzXyL
205Please respect copyright.PENANAeosy12kVhY
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAKdPjnVwItD
205Please respect copyright.PENANAWPczO8ANti
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAFSV9HyHJNV
205Please respect copyright.PENANAqN9K98jAfs
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANA6TYjon5qjf
205Please respect copyright.PENANATGIoHrO6Xd
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANA5I08qFOi5C
205Please respect copyright.PENANAOGR36RGXBR
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.205Please respect copyright.PENANAldv9GEUbga
205Please respect copyright.PENANABoZFiF8j4X
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAXPnsXskiv9
205Please respect copyright.PENANAmnCcPDfbui
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 205Please respect copyright.PENANAXHK1dvBJRL
205Please respect copyright.PENANA0bewHmF5vm
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAhXaKP25kl8
205Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qm3GLG7uy
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAxCh1HIMnxo
205Please respect copyright.PENANA2AKlhGb1xO
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAO5ZRBUu54D
205Please respect copyright.PENANAQoKfMAqIuB
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAnQPCbHwC3i
205Please respect copyright.PENANAzZQYBzMvSz
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAWf9UTNlFlG
205Please respect copyright.PENANAzDXPhiijag
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANA6uJrClUQ8o
205Please respect copyright.PENANAk4wrnCMnmq
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.205Please respect copyright.PENANAJVlYB23FEz
205Please respect copyright.PENANAuQT7oDhBWL
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.205Please respect copyright.PENANAbMX5FLO51g
205Please respect copyright.PENANACzzCSB9OaD
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.205Please respect copyright.PENANAGhi15UAevL
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjXWdYQw8mq
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAC9SPwSJR7X
205Please respect copyright.PENANAwWHhoUFprC
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAtQRAG5CCUs
205Please respect copyright.PENANAwybFspaJbU
Fucking asshole.205Please respect copyright.PENANAgmlBJ807Bu
205Please respect copyright.PENANAG05Qjjsejr
"Let's go, Roberta!"205Please respect copyright.PENANACN3GOco7NM
205Please respect copyright.PENANABb4swZyb3J
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.205Please respect copyright.PENANAXiq05Yq2FD
205Please respect copyright.PENANA5319wdlbF4
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.205Please respect copyright.PENANAQXhJMl16PP
205Please respect copyright.PENANAmYiqhyT5bo
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAR81ZJzPnM1
205Please respect copyright.PENANAOhuV6tZtnZ
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAPjbM7jNIwd
205Please respect copyright.PENANAbBdC603uz5
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."205Please respect copyright.PENANAekHF8w7LQo
205Please respect copyright.PENANARoSkWGwKon
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"205Please respect copyright.PENANA0mktPtXuYz
205Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4P41fk1Ob
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."205Please respect copyright.PENANAWRY8oYuvm1
205Please respect copyright.PENANAFUFcMhf4wE
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"205Please respect copyright.PENANAYjUB1ewNPW
205Please respect copyright.PENANAoUsTM1K4Yo
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."205Please respect copyright.PENANA4B9KCHsLBV
205Please respect copyright.PENANATAlxxHL624
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANA9YKDA7tjzV
205Please respect copyright.PENANAwRPZaqEh3C
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAFh0ytmTc11
205Please respect copyright.PENANA5u1ukfMW6t
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAmez6ugaxMs
205Please respect copyright.PENANAeuDq8PEZF7
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"205Please respect copyright.PENANAvKTJbbv4G1
205Please respect copyright.PENANAldbL3pNCxb
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANA3QBuqmzSc2
205Please respect copyright.PENANAfqe5fZ3LkO
"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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAqf7gN2rnZW
205Please respect copyright.PENANANBBpFhcF6K
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAUAk8cuz3ki
205Please respect copyright.PENANA7VUwKEszwu
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.205Please respect copyright.PENANAndjGOWhCmJ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAUS0vVRAbM3
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."205Please respect copyright.PENANATEv5KCRQic
205Please respect copyright.PENANAElvRu30JGl
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.205Please respect copyright.PENANAZoNTRFeD3B
205Please respect copyright.PENANAVKZDtB1tVP
"The girls love it." He laughed.205Please respect copyright.PENANAY1gHD1axdZ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAXvBCFAo5Ub
I blinked. "What?"205Please respect copyright.PENANAOzh54qTXQj
205Please respect copyright.PENANAK0lQbQEYik
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."205Please respect copyright.PENANAYCY3SueDHq
205Please respect copyright.PENANAdiqPYKYqyt
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"205Please respect copyright.PENANAniZePpowEA
205Please respect copyright.PENANA9YlNf0gHt2
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAfP6bOZRzHs
205Please respect copyright.PENANAh9higd5vAp
"Ma'am?"205Please respect copyright.PENANAuLGHSznlQH
205Please respect copyright.PENANA0rq1bxorDO
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.205Please respect copyright.PENANAVWmB0sQfSm
205Please respect copyright.PENANAAJwOUdwdl1
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANARlFbENIE2z
205Please respect copyright.PENANALJwvuBGV1n
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 205Please respect copyright.PENANA73ucVC0k9a
205Please respect copyright.PENANA6riaiS534h
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANA8EqOip4Qef
205Please respect copyright.PENANA582ZlzHkJg
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.205Please respect copyright.PENANArLTwFlCrqP
205Please respect copyright.PENANAq6BtUr8huY
"Beautiful hands."205Please respect copyright.PENANAcfgsS5DYRE
205Please respect copyright.PENANAiCrbyZ1ttg
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.205Please respect copyright.PENANAQgv5xmAg6w
205Please respect copyright.PENANAXwKNEY8D9S
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAX0fz9euULk
205Please respect copyright.PENANA3NmAklOQPa
"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."205Please respect copyright.PENANA64ByW01TF7
205Please respect copyright.PENANAk80VFCQyhG
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."205Please respect copyright.PENANAEDuhTVvhn8
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjbsLLXZR1h
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."205Please respect copyright.PENANAwrHzgHg3vq
205Please respect copyright.PENANA786tl9zWyo
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.205Please respect copyright.PENANAoTlQEbeVfb
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1zKCpqsA2
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."205Please respect copyright.PENANAogaI8cGvMs
205Please respect copyright.PENANAzinHFo4qYb
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."205Please respect copyright.PENANAC298aAl6nK
205Please respect copyright.PENANA4ETqy0CGWn
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"205Please respect copyright.PENANAIE2MqogfNK
205Please respect copyright.PENANA8w5if8UV1F
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."205Please respect copyright.PENANA2Nk1z3VCto
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZMw6lVeIZL
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."205Please respect copyright.PENANAhdsP0oxEfc
205Please respect copyright.PENANASgMGqHQAZw
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"205Please respect copyright.PENANAJUp1mYkEFZ
205Please respect copyright.PENANA7l4TxoU0tO
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."205Please respect copyright.PENANAYuMtQIC0WL
205Please respect copyright.PENANALYXl5oAKtb
"And Carlos?"205Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ju7UPPMGc
205Please respect copyright.PENANAc7NisZxEff
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.205Please respect copyright.PENANAEkLGf1vLfV
205Please respect copyright.PENANAXvxk8bR2V4
"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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAK5yq8wYZ5P
205Please respect copyright.PENANAClCMmOlDZC
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.205Please respect copyright.PENANAXSMg3pIcAq
205Please respect copyright.PENANA77LKpNpq1L
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.205Please respect copyright.PENANAarz01zKMhI
205Please respect copyright.PENANAAkGkdpjyLk
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."205Please respect copyright.PENANASdddtfEqSO
205Please respect copyright.PENANAPAPodIKVI5
"Curious, I guess."205Please respect copyright.PENANAvQyfSevy94
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjbxoVmuLZa
"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."205Please respect copyright.PENANAOu9DkEDnEL
205Please respect copyright.PENANAqVUUD2JMll
"Oh, I'll surprise you."205Please respect copyright.PENANAOxoGdzov9c
205Please respect copyright.PENANAlc1873eGD9
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."205Please respect copyright.PENANAz4iRS6xaAM
205Please respect copyright.PENANAxfftMFcYFE
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"205Please respect copyright.PENANAcdWmC6XvXI
205Please respect copyright.PENANAbdRtOQ8iey
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."205Please respect copyright.PENANA4tHSc0oQaZ
205Please respect copyright.PENANA71MhrJmmht
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.205Please respect copyright.PENANAMvzc4LjeBT
205Please respect copyright.PENANALb24MurC2p
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."205Please respect copyright.PENANAMqLTFD8jvo
205Please respect copyright.PENANAAxnbbFVRHC
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.205Please respect copyright.PENANAGSlgR910R7
205Please respect copyright.PENANAvOjZaiPabR
"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."205Please respect copyright.PENANAtDuG2LQWBE
205Please respect copyright.PENANAFR0VC3cPpf
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."205Please respect copyright.PENANAZfywVKeo7c
205Please respect copyright.PENANAyEFxSjKwyU
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."205Please respect copyright.PENANAtZT39uZMRN
205Please respect copyright.PENANAe6rdl2q725
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAdvHfPfUKpG
205Please respect copyright.PENANAASqHdinGhf
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAvlZ9RCFjJZ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAKtsAcXZIem
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."205Please respect copyright.PENANABXbAsspL1E
205Please respect copyright.PENANAgg4dRCXwkG
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.205Please respect copyright.PENANAvu9IXSKGlN
205Please respect copyright.PENANAMTIuPHrirB
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."205Please respect copyright.PENANAzmJumpTK1d
205Please respect copyright.PENANATnwWy78l0h
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."205Please respect copyright.PENANAfq2pZfrgoK
205Please respect copyright.PENANADcs8ZmhKs8
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."205Please respect copyright.PENANApFzDqksmaQ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAW73wyDgC5L
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.205Please respect copyright.PENANApCEYtXSoxt
205Please respect copyright.PENANAHymyf1xab9
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.205Please respect copyright.PENANAglOAt5XIn5
205Please respect copyright.PENANA8evcr3YECY
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.205Please respect copyright.PENANA5Dot3E9yvg
205Please respect copyright.PENANAR01K3ADEXr
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.205Please respect copyright.PENANAknc5chBXjs
205Please respect copyright.PENANAOrf5brs76z
