That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 221Please respect copyright.PENANAhABDf6376Q
221Please respect copyright.PENANAUg1Q7cfqYh
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.221Please respect copyright.PENANAj7jFiGbFkZ
221Please respect copyright.PENANA3o97Gp9Q60
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAeSUH3szYyR
221Please respect copyright.PENANAgoeS0rQuCK
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!221Please respect copyright.PENANA2nXQnipIDM
221Please respect copyright.PENANA0naed9Jftn
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAi2TXuaaOZt
221Please respect copyright.PENANAaH47BCvfKF
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAYVGWt5ni9k
221Please respect copyright.PENANAyrHhPgpSSW
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1L5R5IKmC
221Please respect copyright.PENANAid4VlsTdX9
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAWwi3H5Hi3a
221Please respect copyright.PENANAPyijuptTgA
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.221Please respect copyright.PENANAZlVaon20Wi
221Please respect copyright.PENANAb4Y9EPjofk
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANApjm28W0RIi
221Please respect copyright.PENANAbzXisgkpWS
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 221Please respect copyright.PENANAjaNZ7C72dL
221Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4XqIInemA
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAFVqx2romoe
221Please respect copyright.PENANAm61Ft7bReh
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANA2mBJzt8bb6
221Please respect copyright.PENANAPdKP8xsXqs
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANADnqUTYfKe5
221Please respect copyright.PENANAgYbMQ1iUhD
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAQSnbPUA8oc
221Please respect copyright.PENANAVdipVMfFf0
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANA41A5kznx1O
221Please respect copyright.PENANAxUF28QOFjl
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANARTURG6ouSx
221Please respect copyright.PENANAhmG7O5n8tW
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.221Please respect copyright.PENANAE8JOScJxAH
221Please respect copyright.PENANA1geHy0vN0g
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.221Please respect copyright.PENANAKMrEM1tx9j
221Please respect copyright.PENANAizOpEcLoOm
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.221Please respect copyright.PENANAyc0kcW49gX
221Please respect copyright.PENANAGocFYs5igA
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAX2MH3FoUvF
221Please respect copyright.PENANAbNxb8YBE7c
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANA3o3HMepI7b
221Please respect copyright.PENANAmZpe3L7vxQ
Fucking asshole.221Please respect copyright.PENANAjuvsPWRHxz
221Please respect copyright.PENANAqipHLMZ8lb
"Let's go, Roberta!"221Please respect copyright.PENANAPFSKGIRwUg
221Please respect copyright.PENANATA9PKhbURZ
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.221Please respect copyright.PENANA65zuMD4oWQ
221Please respect copyright.PENANA6EcTZ7uoGS
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.221Please respect copyright.PENANAQmyIfuueNZ
221Please respect copyright.PENANAEI8VXd1zq7
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAwiZMHDMBrk
221Please respect copyright.PENANAVpwo4DcRrR
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAiKNo3Cpf0p
221Please respect copyright.PENANAfpKVa1EtaE
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."221Please respect copyright.PENANAxj7GRhXAJp
221Please respect copyright.PENANALTb1lOpH7Z
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"221Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ84dW81B3
221Please respect copyright.PENANARulnxvvjs0
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."221Please respect copyright.PENANAb3ePIiTbfn
221Please respect copyright.PENANAGVJWESlIob
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"221Please respect copyright.PENANAlP1OIsI5by
221Please respect copyright.PENANA4w1m1A36Vb
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."221Please respect copyright.PENANAm8tDbYSDyZ
221Please respect copyright.PENANAjINZTtYRO8
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANA1DPivabOcp
221Please respect copyright.PENANA4PvRP2N3xz
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAUMafkBmctd
221Please respect copyright.PENANASUjGzxfpLp
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANA1joJ70y5oR
221Please respect copyright.PENANAuGCD6spX5i
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"221Please respect copyright.PENANAP5T9jyDLfk
221Please respect copyright.PENANADylHhJPdBo
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAg7YK5I9VLr
221Please respect copyright.PENANAb5KyI1p3k1
"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.221Please respect copyright.PENANArVBGh5aymN
221Please respect copyright.PENANAenIgYvVj53
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANACCxyWT9W70
221Please respect copyright.PENANAhVwatHRHh0
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.221Please respect copyright.PENANAPJAdSD46AV
221Please respect copyright.PENANAFmTgGE0QMA
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."221Please respect copyright.PENANAl85YU5RpXl
221Please respect copyright.PENANAINYq76cl5M
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.221Please respect copyright.PENANACRbhr0kB4Z
221Please respect copyright.PENANAlBQ7d9ifmd
"The girls love it." He laughed.221Please respect copyright.PENANAf806l6xk4O
221Please respect copyright.PENANAaWpiOBhrUf
I blinked. "What?"221Please respect copyright.PENANABwUTjLcKDc
221Please respect copyright.PENANApmXAj0yz1n
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."221Please respect copyright.PENANAU6E40P3aVV
221Please respect copyright.PENANANe7F5wl6vG
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"221Please respect copyright.PENANAO9gjUuA8UA
221Please respect copyright.PENANAbH5pUMmWWg
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAjiX6ZZeUCM
221Please respect copyright.PENANAWZCqKMPSAq
"Ma'am?"221Please respect copyright.PENANAVmRI8KdUVd
221Please respect copyright.PENANAISKmgvqVhW
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.221Please respect copyright.PENANAbfsf89BjrG
221Please respect copyright.PENANAbgtEw90bZU
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAS4FvsE6Njo
221Please respect copyright.PENANAR595yTXxUP
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 221Please respect copyright.PENANAgrv0aFcnia
221Please respect copyright.PENANAUhRESqrLtB
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAty7sY2Q3f3
221Please respect copyright.PENANAzLRhg1tIZ8
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.221Please respect copyright.PENANAPgSV9B1Rlw
221Please respect copyright.PENANAI1G3YWp1i7
"Beautiful hands."221Please respect copyright.PENANAfv6L4aIurj
221Please respect copyright.PENANAC0JCEnEOfi
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.221Please respect copyright.PENANAqAV0SoDiFF
221Please respect copyright.PENANAqfbixO2PO2
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAE9aOMOSnPr
221Please respect copyright.PENANAxR2PdEAzqV
"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."221Please respect copyright.PENANAy9cIDPQZl1
221Please respect copyright.PENANAaeStnoQWDJ
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."221Please respect copyright.PENANAKC6dlVphe3
221Please respect copyright.PENANAetC8wkhzmi
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."221Please respect copyright.PENANAVb31143RXp
221Please respect copyright.PENANABYC41LOzvg
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.221Please respect copyright.PENANAixAi9pul59
221Please respect copyright.PENANAiK3VpsNs4T
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."221Please respect copyright.PENANA1ofPWIWHws
221Please respect copyright.PENANAZLbXY0HlkP
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."221Please respect copyright.PENANAZaBonBohZD
221Please respect copyright.PENANA6YNjnJdCBL
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"221Please respect copyright.PENANA6VhyDnhIVP
221Please respect copyright.PENANAJR9uaGYQwo
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."221Please respect copyright.PENANAIINFJugIyf
221Please respect copyright.PENANASiQuN0Zayc
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."221Please respect copyright.PENANAj5NC1hCxqi
221Please respect copyright.PENANAUsVAuPr3bN
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"221Please respect copyright.PENANAWFGilfJGLX
221Please respect copyright.PENANAo1lZ7Tl8mc
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."221Please respect copyright.PENANAC2GpVOvEsE
221Please respect copyright.PENANAM0pZ9Y5nxs
"And Carlos?"221Please respect copyright.PENANAuCXFAS6vGc
221Please respect copyright.PENANAyi4ukLBYEq
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.221Please respect copyright.PENANApnSOkNdqhk
221Please respect copyright.PENANAfV1zqp9yZJ
"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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAt3ohFK4vLr
221Please respect copyright.PENANAq2vQiyShjG
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.221Please respect copyright.PENANAjotV0OV0xl
221Please respect copyright.PENANAqmmttRD1oP
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.221Please respect copyright.PENANAs6EYa4eozN
221Please respect copyright.PENANARZbO0EzDZr
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."221Please respect copyright.PENANADP2buMmH2z
221Please respect copyright.PENANA58O0O92YSu
"Curious, I guess."221Please respect copyright.PENANAeG1aORWGbi
221Please respect copyright.PENANAbcGHI5QMS0
"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."221Please respect copyright.PENANAgkn9GP0EM3
221Please respect copyright.PENANAFEwcUwLedL
"Oh, I'll surprise you."221Please respect copyright.PENANAWYh9RkzTNj
221Please respect copyright.PENANA3kVgSJBKm0
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."221Please respect copyright.PENANALjgtfx90vr
221Please respect copyright.PENANA9y9wBcFK1E
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"221Please respect copyright.PENANAzpDv4Di93i
221Please respect copyright.PENANAGQJug5rmpB
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."221Please respect copyright.PENANApx7LtSTYIP
221Please respect copyright.PENANAV9k5S0Fo2a
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.221Please respect copyright.PENANAmFfTqMb4fm
221Please respect copyright.PENANARk4lIkNfyo
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."221Please respect copyright.PENANAwwa7EkPp9E
221Please respect copyright.PENANASkOVwR7Hyv
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.221Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4t2GOe3Q0
221Please respect copyright.PENANA3kkNt5NeXF
"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."221Please respect copyright.PENANAkyeG8mNKQK
221Please respect copyright.PENANAjA8KpzvbqD
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."221Please respect copyright.PENANAMUsi6fvkGd
221Please respect copyright.PENANAkqzhM7D9FR
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."221Please respect copyright.PENANAccynO467mg
221Please respect copyright.PENANAZcYCJ7Qwny
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANA3WzNLdzs0t
221Please respect copyright.PENANAHpVKeq64tt
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.221Please respect copyright.PENANAzvnfWdrBDh
221Please respect copyright.PENANAB7XnIa6z7D
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."221Please respect copyright.PENANADQ9KYhr39S
221Please respect copyright.PENANAqWflPdt7rR
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.221Please respect copyright.PENANABFBVFdBiQE
221Please respect copyright.PENANAISVKDag3tM
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."221Please respect copyright.PENANA6BvrrmXE52
221Please respect copyright.PENANA9R2TdWwLR9
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."221Please respect copyright.PENANAUgDAYQxSgJ
221Please respect copyright.PENANAg1IjW5coxM
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."221Please respect copyright.PENANAArN125sYZe
221Please respect copyright.PENANArcasmRzV7I
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.221Please respect copyright.PENANAoAQptCH16y
221Please respect copyright.PENANAKmKw9DRjwK
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.221Please respect copyright.PENANAAYBWcu14Ss
221Please respect copyright.PENANA3OM1jqzhbm
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.221Please respect copyright.PENANAuAneAlF0Td
221Please respect copyright.PENANAGTYUCC9rjt
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.221Please respect copyright.PENANAVmSjAKAlXp
221Please respect copyright.PENANAPi6x045b0n
