That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 212Please respect copyright.PENANAI6z546Tr1s
212Please respect copyright.PENANAkFcMBJ7PZr
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.212Please respect copyright.PENANA4v12NBTjHb
212Please respect copyright.PENANAEqv9FWQ8CW
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAK64jg717hw
212Please respect copyright.PENANArWBcuQp27o
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!212Please respect copyright.PENANA7nWacX4SE5
212Please respect copyright.PENANAW83pFwzGDB
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA1cvHG9MUbj
212Please respect copyright.PENANAdTTJ6OKeVq
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA6Dl9G9nTBU
212Please respect copyright.PENANAY6hHMmMS6F
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAm3uca5stQa
212Please respect copyright.PENANA7k2mPyfwMK
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA6Pn0wHb6en
212Please respect copyright.PENANA58MqgaSy9j
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.212Please respect copyright.PENANAmMbsKLy3Kw
212Please respect copyright.PENANAk8EHLVOXA2
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAEdbGhXmOAF
212Please respect copyright.PENANAFvqKH3v0u7
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 212Please respect copyright.PENANAVY0c4MRRBJ
212Please respect copyright.PENANASL3wkG9qrl
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAIlITPPeaR2
212Please respect copyright.PENANApBBxn45Z4W
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAiOAWNAtpdB
212Please respect copyright.PENANAhHZZmQuMj5
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAmaLlg2naur
212Please respect copyright.PENANAMqJUgXNVsW
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAtGY5YScpUr
212Please respect copyright.PENANAdSmHBaNu7s
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA7r00BUoMhj
212Please respect copyright.PENANAaGdpDDco9T
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA0drqQv6uar
212Please respect copyright.PENANAwFJeSeEse9
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.212Please respect copyright.PENANA1b76RmGLsw
212Please respect copyright.PENANAbd3YICzdqE
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.212Please respect copyright.PENANAZxh62InH5M
212Please respect copyright.PENANALurdS7G8qd
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.212Please respect copyright.PENANAgg1BZLwMIY
212Please respect copyright.PENANAoSpjVuoOFw
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAsBRcXfeIrk
212Please respect copyright.PENANARtrOVkAjUt
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAbis1DgshID
212Please respect copyright.PENANAKyZ8U4axxW
Fucking asshole.212Please respect copyright.PENANAJroG9BZUWN
212Please respect copyright.PENANAqVLVxOVq2T
"Let's go, Roberta!"212Please respect copyright.PENANAdKlraqs7ML
212Please respect copyright.PENANAbcvAP9vMSh
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.212Please respect copyright.PENANASvcQwm25zh
212Please respect copyright.PENANARaSoRBZm53
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.212Please respect copyright.PENANAsAb6939GZJ
212Please respect copyright.PENANASh4i4FDTmE
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAYFr2f4FYWP
212Please respect copyright.PENANAS8sII8q41Z
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAkoV1pyaVbS
212Please respect copyright.PENANADIP2FrzVpW
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."212Please respect copyright.PENANAGwEa88R2KO
212Please respect copyright.PENANAWEgaQujB4X
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAvKbfHFq41a
212Please respect copyright.PENANAtQprwabPfx
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."212Please respect copyright.PENANAZlu5KPgoFK
212Please respect copyright.PENANAY9EQgUEwwa
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAKGa7XCen3H
212Please respect copyright.PENANAeiCcSrEbfM
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."212Please respect copyright.PENANAdKdajOLNfw
212Please respect copyright.PENANA3IJlZFFw9k
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA2i0isBADkI
212Please respect copyright.PENANA3PoKoeszrI
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAY7ghP4y46a
212Please respect copyright.PENANAE54hh4u6Pn
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA2xpTYLWQN8
212Please respect copyright.PENANANV7LPrtP0o
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAvKXTbtZqbS
212Please respect copyright.PENANAQsAOEdcJir
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANACwEt8zQoDV
212Please respect copyright.PENANARtn42eFA4r
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAMo6eGBacIR
212Please respect copyright.PENANAS6P0EsYh45
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAeMZhIgcRmh
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9Rk3bYZgEE
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.212Please respect copyright.PENANAICKGTS3Q2k
212Please respect copyright.PENANASZxEyP8pM3
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."212Please respect copyright.PENANAVnlAStT6u6
212Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0lGou1Dbj
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.212Please respect copyright.PENANA4jrUovOUCF
212Please respect copyright.PENANAtprkaQc6tU
"The girls love it." He laughed.212Please respect copyright.PENANAG8KiD2w2Bw
212Please respect copyright.PENANAGMIM8Wyd05
I blinked. "What?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAD7wxmnFjJ1
212Please respect copyright.PENANAz6oNVVAkPf
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."212Please respect copyright.PENANAjFKIoeoTTf
212Please respect copyright.PENANA88fyTM0YCF
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAHHWWLziYRo
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2OPuXI3rAm
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAuzR5lgs3Aj
212Please respect copyright.PENANAUamVxtoQcu
"Ma'am?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAebKERIv8hS
212Please respect copyright.PENANAzeWVEnTpsS
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.212Please respect copyright.PENANAUhSVuQIBaQ
212Please respect copyright.PENANApKzAkAIOlq
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAHYMkmKYSmx
212Please respect copyright.PENANAI6Ui30elm1
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 212Please respect copyright.PENANA58bsP99fwp
212Please respect copyright.PENANApLtsYQSgzL
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAZw0v3bDMWP
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9oKvDrvYNm
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.212Please respect copyright.PENANAbGIvBDZx9v
212Please respect copyright.PENANASIKd244bSC
"Beautiful hands."212Please respect copyright.PENANAqCLF9zJLOB
212Please respect copyright.PENANALYZzZtbCSg
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.212Please respect copyright.PENANAGi5hyKku38
212Please respect copyright.PENANArIVWOaHAPL
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAb8Afcv9rIQ
212Please respect copyright.PENANAHua3huTyN5
"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."212Please respect copyright.PENANAZfdgaYgxWi
212Please respect copyright.PENANAd8qgbabCqi
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."212Please respect copyright.PENANAveLSifzUEl
212Please respect copyright.PENANAjGaRhgYEKK
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."212Please respect copyright.PENANAJpfm61pk9i
212Please respect copyright.PENANAeckoWd8y2M
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.212Please respect copyright.PENANAUw3GwX4oxF
212Please respect copyright.PENANARJqi1rmvQ1
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."212Please respect copyright.PENANAHsfGgKBjaA
212Please respect copyright.PENANAEzQJYa0EA9
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."212Please respect copyright.PENANAJqPqVFTUeh
212Please respect copyright.PENANAsNpWTJyVKo
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"212Please respect copyright.PENANA6C5mW70wdI
212Please respect copyright.PENANAwKCi9o6FbO
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."212Please respect copyright.PENANAzfOGZ9UiY3
212Please respect copyright.PENANAO0vPXIzvbN
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."212Please respect copyright.PENANAdkEDWoaUTh
212Please respect copyright.PENANA0TgWNd45Jf
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAVVbBzNOOQC
212Please respect copyright.PENANAkmevkEOD8d
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."212Please respect copyright.PENANAhFWzJ1pUyr
212Please respect copyright.PENANA8RAl2OwmfQ
"And Carlos?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAuwRfDz9kel
212Please respect copyright.PENANAGoV471cgOv
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.212Please respect copyright.PENANA0CvaTtymaW
212Please respect copyright.PENANAXJWRw1ysXU
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAMyWb2RU54c
212Please respect copyright.PENANAm1JBDvACl2
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.212Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3vLFpkDU8
212Please respect copyright.PENANAykPHMvdWRp
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.212Please respect copyright.PENANAL6fQoPMF4W
212Please respect copyright.PENANATZrPM6mjW1
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."212Please respect copyright.PENANAlCl7H49mwl
212Please respect copyright.PENANANvwX7tbiKl
"Curious, I guess."212Please respect copyright.PENANA8eOe5zHhXV
212Please respect copyright.PENANAjFP5uhZPWB
"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."212Please respect copyright.PENANAu5LxCs7Vet
212Please respect copyright.PENANAamGTRZ5tCu
"Oh, I'll surprise you."212Please respect copyright.PENANAkf8Xpv3DIW
212Please respect copyright.PENANA3USBwoGnBa
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."212Please respect copyright.PENANAS8vir0lBIU
212Please respect copyright.PENANA5yzuWRO4YW
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"212Please respect copyright.PENANABUxAgcsEl1
212Please respect copyright.PENANA1PYweUClg0
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."212Please respect copyright.PENANAFYXUwQd7Zn
212Please respect copyright.PENANAGK148F6D9A
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.212Please respect copyright.PENANACfhxHmzzhQ
212Please respect copyright.PENANAQYBTDLRAzJ
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."212Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z5qTYQPMo
212Please respect copyright.PENANAFH7HrJYAo3
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.212Please respect copyright.PENANAG6LqOp4huh
212Please respect copyright.PENANAxxrSf0ptwj
"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."212Please respect copyright.PENANA5Wd21iWfG6
212Please respect copyright.PENANAj57KKzBSo4
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."212Please respect copyright.PENANAkwXgCCgYfX
212Please respect copyright.PENANAIpY9aXxn0H
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."212Please respect copyright.PENANAPrduAKrayz
212Please respect copyright.PENANADQengciWDG
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAxCIQZFAaim
212Please respect copyright.PENANAiBnhsL5EHs
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAYw5KEcjWth
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2L2mUDfJLQ
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."212Please respect copyright.PENANArHQRHazDlV
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9MOAZ8a6w3
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.212Please respect copyright.PENANAmp3LwaPoHW
212Please respect copyright.PENANAeyyR16wsJD
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."212Please respect copyright.PENANANSaUvdnpSz
212Please respect copyright.PENANAhDLqARdBrA
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."212Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ4e76McE0
212Please respect copyright.PENANAB1Br2sCp7g
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."212Please respect copyright.PENANAXDPzPAyoaE
212Please respect copyright.PENANAa0MIiIKUMb
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.212Please respect copyright.PENANAO2O0xgRZZl
212Please respect copyright.PENANAd09Jg0MR9N
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.212Please respect copyright.PENANAx3KOMeiEjV
212Please respect copyright.PENANA6WpIXx4Wpv
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.212Please respect copyright.PENANA5SlrhbjH2U
212Please respect copyright.PENANAcbg5Wmw0Jn
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.212Please respect copyright.PENANA5lAvNnZkmi
212Please respect copyright.PENANA4XmDK5KT7P
