That week was a fucking nightmare with Naomi. 404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1S1nrL6xo
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNZyP2C5o3
The blonde, bimbo monster bitch absolutely hated me and she wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u2ZeUyrVt
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukxXW9a3wi
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCyqoUuV9u
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YsW8bgoT4
I usually finished up by noon without any time to even piss, let alone fucking breathe!404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DHHJ3nn9r
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83cr7xHSD2
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPX3bnU1QL
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwBQ3NPB5H
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkz2uaMdkB
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8vBJp6VNA
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfISyRTnX3
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8gQMb1BdP
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WKjl2TIfJ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngueyaws66
I can't lie, it made me extremely nervous. Just looking over Kalon's extravagant life really put things into perspective.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxhgLN2pRB
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDoFMwfdGf
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBBCxpzZaJ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyW7NJp4HZ
Who the fuck needs to buy four private jets in one month? 404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfDmVWtUL3
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXT3lS2txv
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjkauBiIc0
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRgRJobzzq
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9pzfa9iwr
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzbzaTyaRY
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJZovzHNfc
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx9Vs8XwrZ
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5Wq3YhzGs
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxEqVXB8Z0
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJAN7WK8cQ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvekus5mt3
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkmDtQyrOq
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbqd9hebQZ
I hated Naomi. I hated Kalon for this job. I hated this damn life.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxZs1vD0lj
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuCX0PL5rh
Most of all... I fucking missed my brother. My parents.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp2TDHeuGZ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vGJO75dpF
I never pictured my life like this. I just wanted it to be normal again.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQTp3SQnKo
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW95Kb6qgEg
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfZr1ba3iD
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXbaQdtzMh
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2yzLvzOEo
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi0O7wim1R
Fucking asshole.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXNK6eVpFA
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunKIoeAPU7
"Let's go, Roberta!"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5kvSOgCS0
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjv7x53war
I groaned loudly and slammed down my blush compact. It wasn't even time for Naomi to harass me yet.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7mLAiP8Xd
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXdPTwdtpt
"I haven't even had time to get your latte, Naomi," I snapped and ripped the door open.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPixKohgVu
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf3SvOLvbh
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5soaNWazXx
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY38OQgTstK
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PxtOdvKHy
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH7MOlWMe9
"I am going to be gone today, but you are to report to the office to assist Axel."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAFlCw5wyB
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3mxGkz88J
My brows furrowed. "Axel?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigI6Rs8xdc
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkD6ZCQzWf
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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0i4suXB2w
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXG1SDXac6
"Okay...so what am I doing today then?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpPWunHts8
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit179dMECH
She looked up at me, annoyed. "Just shut up and walk."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr0lTWT30R
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cHXAarUJc
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFW1UldvtN
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruES5luHrR
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHjcuhTswT
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbVnS2Z3K8
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVZX2e0rJj
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNGt2lc4OQ
"Naomi! What's up my favorite blonde bitch?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWpVbnKjyN
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjpWHNNTnB
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi64dtO30fj
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzNFj6PQRJ
"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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoMCWNALOa
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCReqktILzE
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgupvFAaeHt
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiRUtM4kNT
"Nice to meet you, sir," I said politely and approached him.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYbqRpCnJY
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3U4YtuN2R
He reached out and shook my hand. "Axel."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCbA0INzcL
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuSqpSmwUX
I nodded and met his mismatched eyes. One a brilliant blue color and the other nearly pitch black.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jwGmTlqjS
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH9m2zOWRY
"The girls love it." He laughed.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXYuMMC5q1
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj39BGvSNN1
I blinked. "What?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplYqZqFfGG
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPb3L3XdQS
He smirked and pointed towards his eyes. "It makes me look mysterious."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KwQN5304N
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wyWR2Vy1i
"Doesn't make up for you being a gigantic douche, "Naomi muttered. "Where's Ramirez, by the way?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmo7zozzAz
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwDPHtL0Ki
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP6tHY98g0
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sOVpcmVDn
"Ma'am?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3uFSmFsNo
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHfqxQWLNP
"Normal order, please. Get on it." Naomi barked out.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIulIpkYU1T
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd2lFRj5OH
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIR059mYh5
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyhW1Z3jZW
"Oh, no!" I said instinctively and moved to fix them. 404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hQ3xHPDvr
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NY8zrHfW4
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHL1Px4OmE
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqiXh7bXhs
His fingers slowly stroked the back of my hand as he turned it palm side up and trailed his nail along the lines there.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9NkbBuEjq
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jyQiEb2HR
"Beautiful hands."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTdDgpayfK
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC69sZSldFZ
"T-thank you?" I stammered and pulled away.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhm6Dy17ja
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EA7SHUOG4
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK1CTl5se2
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfB4GwS5Ii
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IzHwhXEvO
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDMUI9CdXa
"Play nice," Axel scolded and looked at me apologetically. "You have somewhere better to be anyway."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg83ubKGi0
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCepWvKwwLB
"That I do," Naomi sighed and looked over at me with a snarky grin. "Good luck."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMlpqVVw0p
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnn3MqFqJJ
Axel and I watched as the blonde demon exited the room, chatting away happily on her cellphone as she did.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP4K3OwMTM
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwI4nk1LgZ
He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, about Naomi, I wish Kalon would hire women who aren't secret succubi."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboH9PLnGKm
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPn1M1By4c
I shrugged, "I guess it's all part of the job."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iadaIEmIT
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWERrrUzgt
"I suppose," He grinned crookedly. "Would you like a drink?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5k1BvimsF
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWwb82wBVT
"Am I suppose to be drinking?" I chuckled awkwardly. "I kind of got myself into trouble with your cousin on that one."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiy3ytE4cO
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW49lEgVw9f
"Ahh, you are the party girl?" He teased and fetched a bottle of champagne. "Kalon sure was pissed about that."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLQJQBLGKj
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdY34pYNMa
My cheeks flushed. "He told you?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtDYSecggB
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrpLnHbwhN
Axel nodded as he poured the glasses, "He didn't shut up about it for about a week. Caused some trouble between the brothers."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5GqXSrWw5
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9jU6tI2Np
"And Carlos?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfyEKsWqdO
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24A9c1XjAX
"Yeah...Carlos." His lips tightened as he said it.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtXZmtYWKu
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd5w7zQJ8g
"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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFPZtaJ1Vf
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ntVzUlqvv
"Terminated." He said simply and handed me my glass.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGdQPuXONL
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QurytH1tT
"Really? I thought this was a forever thing?" I asked and took a sip.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K3zwZc5tA
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR8jPKah8Y
"Depends on the situation," He sighed and trailed his fingertip along the edge. "You ask a lot of questions."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTuyJZCeiu
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa8QDHRA9X
"Curious, I guess."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc5iuVVCqR
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RYlNEaPEo
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNioGNuMwgL
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzubWIVZx6
"Oh, I'll surprise you."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxU1DMuCi5
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQvW12llU4
He smirked. "I don't doubt that, Ms. Quinn."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqglBIzEzH
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWa8qDYu3V
I met his unique eyes again and felt my cheeks heat up like wildfire. "U-uh, so what are we doing today, sir?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngKP9eD61A
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwNXzK88eT
He shook his head. "Axel is fine."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mYppE9MXj
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxuIluRk4Q
"Sorry...sir, I mean Axel!" I stuttered.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hYC8xhcnl
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xgmScVjg6
He just laughed and tossed me a stack of folders. "Have at it, princess."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVi5KACNVl
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehOgn4ljgw
"Just this?" I said as I flipped through it. Naomi usually dumped enough paperwork on me to last half of my day.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yyZ5XruGk
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJMTHLBCw0
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja9GZxRCCN
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNT2MrpM8i
"With Naomi, there are no breaks or days off," I said lowly. "I'm completely fine working the full day."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84QqN5tW0J
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvDT7q93y5
"Don't worry about it, I got your back." He reassured and stuck his pinky out. "I promise."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaha1YHXB0
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSThs74MCnS
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR9sfYxaAF
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYak7IdgUYv
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQvxSfg1DU
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqJZsurR8P
"I like you," Axel said lowly and ran his fingers over mine. "You are different."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrHHXxisYk
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EHa8974lB
"T-thank you." I stammered, my heart racing now.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl3l3Florm
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYIa34gQmZ
He chuckled and licked his lower lip. "I'd like to take you to dinner."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7GDJ8KPoH
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKBpQbb4Ty
My breath caught. "U-uh...I'm...I'm not sure... uh."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qEtFhVim6
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg0JVbfYpw
"Just think about it," He said and used his free hand to grab a pen. "Call me when you do."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfArxlp9TL
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYkljR9fUk
I watched in silence as he scrabbled his phone number on my palm, his intense gaze never leaving mine as he did.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqQlciCBBy
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiw6VDi4XU
"Oh...ok..." I started out, unsure of what to say.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EC4IQipPG
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSoMaWX5dE
"Get to work, Ms. Quinn." He said playfully and pushed off the desk.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g1eP5r4vN
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2fODiYFuS
I sat there in complete disbelief as the folders in my hands felt like they were now hundreds of pounds.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ2YOW3IsC
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO1IyPuKiV
