After I had left the office with Axel I was in a complete daze and so confused. I was grateful I had the rest of the day to really think about what had happened.378Please respect copyright.PENANAwAZG7eiFrd
378Please respect copyright.PENANA7ySQNwL5xL
I stared at his number on my palm for what felt like forever. Moments of confidence would hit me and I'd pick up my cellphone like I was actually going to do something.378Please respect copyright.PENANAf9J8vkpZEj
378Please respect copyright.PENANAhErkJhwGwJ
I ended my night laying flat on my back watching shitty tv with a bag of popcorn. His number still fresh on my palm as I laid there in my dismay over Axel's offer on dinner.378Please respect copyright.PENANAA6P5o5PZFX
378Please respect copyright.PENANAVDdTAOBSbe
He was handsome, funny, and kind. Who in their right mind would say no?378Please respect copyright.PENANA86nfZ0Tu4Z
378Please respect copyright.PENANAOlgGDV5u5j
Part of me wanted to say 'yes' to his offer right away but then there was that other part of me that kept playing my interaction with Kalon over and over.378Please respect copyright.PENANAsu9oGFMmqT
378Please respect copyright.PENANAS9x9ArBATL
Him being so close to me that day, driving my heart up, his intoxicating scent washing over me like a wave.378Please respect copyright.PENANAlXOvJg1uaP
378Please respect copyright.PENANACxrL6vVGu3
As much as I wanted to hate Kalon for the situation I'm in, I couldn't seem to get him out of my mind. I knew a girl like me was nothing but a number to someone in his position.378Please respect copyright.PENANAevuN48A7QE
378Please respect copyright.PENANAFWCCJmbGBV
A man like that would never go for a girl like me. My entire life is a god damn joke and I basically look like I'm still fifteen years old.378Please respect copyright.PENANARcCtEUtbt7
378Please respect copyright.PENANAGxGFLvrxZ5
Kalon goes for girls like Naomi. Women who have amazing curves and big, fake breasts.378Please respect copyright.PENANAiQh5MQhle2
378Please respect copyright.PENANALCpEVNhCS1
Women who are absolute bitches to everyone around them.378Please respect copyright.PENANAoqxRKsxNaC
378Please respect copyright.PENANAmWjyblIVRg
I had hoped the right answer would come to me but it never did. I woke up that next morning with a stress headache and stumbled my way through my morning routine.378Please respect copyright.PENANAUwSPlBwdq7
378Please respect copyright.PENANAZbYtZb5uM7
Kalon was supposed to be back from his business trip this morning and despite my own mental torment, I was eager to prove my worth to him.378Please respect copyright.PENANA6tFxl1B4bz
378Please respect copyright.PENANAVkpldaM2o6
Once my shower was finished I stood completely naked in front of the steamy bathroom mirror and stared back at my own reflection.378Please respect copyright.PENANAch08tUyIwP
378Please respect copyright.PENANAsnYTgU4WIQ
I looked the same but at the same time, I felt so different. 378Please respect copyright.PENANARrwM0GXjJD
378Please respect copyright.PENANAGLoLLsH0nD
My skin had a bit of a glow and was the clearest it had been in years. My cheeks were rosy and my hair full of volume and curls.378Please respect copyright.PENANAWgTGlZKSld
378Please respect copyright.PENANAEpUFV32TFe
I felt like a woman standing exposed at that moment. I felt confident and proud.378Please respect copyright.PENANAisHI71wsDQ
378Please respect copyright.PENANAneSYph6uuE
I felt like...like my mom.378Please respect copyright.PENANAI0wiwvGLAg
378Please respect copyright.PENANA8lKPlD5rvC
Tears hit me as the thought of her came over me. I never thought I would grow into my features so rapidly. The same features she was known for.378Please respect copyright.PENANAxViLfrKA4W
378Please respect copyright.PENANAyMjUkwOawd
I used to feel so complimented knowing how similar we were but now it was just so fucking painful.378Please respect copyright.PENANA1xn6qxLWSj
378Please respect copyright.PENANAPE0Wv5YJVz
"Brush it off..." I whispered to myself and braced my hands on the counter.378Please respect copyright.PENANAvhjh6Zydpr
378Please respect copyright.PENANAubqsxPeN2I
My body was on high alert and I could feel nausea starting to hit me from the nerves breaking out all over.378Please respect copyright.PENANAG9CplgJnEe
378Please respect copyright.PENANA8TP3dE6g47
Before I had time to dwell on my emotions for too long I turned my attention on my morning routine. 378Please respect copyright.PENANAdBcpz5QkHq
378Please respect copyright.PENANAxnzuPC517Q
I decided today would be the day I took that extra step in really showing what kind of woman I am and how valuable I can be.378Please respect copyright.PENANAD9i7PjALlL
378Please respect copyright.PENANAT1EFN1n3oc
I straightened my hair for the first time in years and even decided to add some stunning red lipstick with smokey shadow and mascara.378Please respect copyright.PENANAy83AS6tmL5
378Please respect copyright.PENANAj2omdFO2zy
I swiped a bit of blush along with the sharpest points of my cheekbones and smiled back at myself.378Please respect copyright.PENANAefPmLTTD8A
378Please respect copyright.PENANAngMUaTdR7o
I looked good. Mature.378Please respect copyright.PENANAQo9di2Zabm
378Please respect copyright.PENANAE4oaErVq2N
I sat my makeup brushes down and slipped into my underwear and tight, black dress quickly. I knew Kalon would be in his office soon and didn't want to ruin today by being late.378Please respect copyright.PENANAsuWlmwCynH
378Please respect copyright.PENANAwb0SVDyofN
After slipping on my new heels that I was sure I'd break an ankle in, I hurried out of my room and down the hall. I could already feel my heart pounding loudly in my ears as I anxiously checked my cellphone time.378Please respect copyright.PENANAxkTbhZWCh8
378Please respect copyright.PENANAxGHEsvISzl
Why the hell did he have to be on the opposite side of a house that is the equivalent of 5 single family homes?! 378Please respect copyright.PENANATp0pS7fdFr
378Please respect copyright.PENANAEYDrgneSOf
By the time his office came into view my vision was starting to blur from how out of breath I was. Hopefully, I wasn't already sweating my damn makeup off.378Please respect copyright.PENANAeMmbuzVSkU
378Please respect copyright.PENANAgEFZjSKYe6
I reached out to knock against the door when I heard a sound come from the other side.378Please respect copyright.PENANAHtWjeKYlMp
378Please respect copyright.PENANAFpc0OuaYjs
I pulled back a bit and listened closely for it to come again but after a few moments of nothing I decided it was probably safe to just enter before I really was late.378Please respect copyright.PENANAQgaa8YkkAk
378Please respect copyright.PENANANqmdbqUjaT
I pushed open the door, smiling brightly as the office came into view.378Please respect copyright.PENANAxUbC55OMix
378Please respect copyright.PENANAyP3HPuD0oL
I got an immediate display of Kalon's exposed chest covered in colorful tattoos as his hand griped furiously onto a blondes head.378Please respect copyright.PENANAWiQscgAoga
378Please respect copyright.PENANA2lR2xtgcX2
He immediately saw me walk in and I felt my cheeks heat up as he continued to pump himself deeper and faster into the girls mouth as she gagged desperately for air.378Please respect copyright.PENANAehO8w7zD92
378Please respect copyright.PENANAVdjTM1Kihd
I opened my mouth to speak but stopped when he shook his head quickly and kept his focus on me. I could feel my insides spinning and an all too familiar warmth built up like wildfire between my legs as he fucked me with his eyes.378Please respect copyright.PENANAmj7Eg5V8AY
378Please respect copyright.PENANAN4QSmQfmxm
I couldn't take my eyes off of them. He was so incredible with how he performed.378Please respect copyright.PENANAxVd0PEOY5A
378Please respect copyright.PENANAirXC8gzWkv
His muscles rippling with each stroke as he pushed deeper into her throat, his breaths coming out heavy and fast.378Please respect copyright.PENANAfwnerlZkPG
378Please respect copyright.PENANARXvHcTtzgh
His steel eyes roamed over my body, hungrily. I suddenly pictured myself in her place instead. The desire to please him was overwhelming and unexpected as it hit me.378Please respect copyright.PENANA3LiZFN7aEQ
378Please respect copyright.PENANACHSMUmCgiA
Kalon continued to breath deeply as he kept his eyes on me and bit his lower lip in need. I felt my palms drench with sweat as I braced myself against the doorframe and watched the show come to an end.378Please respect copyright.PENANAjmwlwH1lQT
378Please respect copyright.PENANA0tfuwww74T
His free hand steadied her head and he pushed himself into her fully as he released. His moans began to subside and the girl at his waist let out a small laugh before pushing back onto her knees.378Please respect copyright.PENANAUK0SvN5sLq
378Please respect copyright.PENANAUAmWxGMTBB
I quickly looked away to the floor as Kalon moved in my direction, exposing himself to me. I knew it was inappropriate to be watching this and certainly not professional in any way, but there was a bigger part of me building with desire to see every part of him.378Please respect copyright.PENANAhf66YGboUu
378Please respect copyright.PENANAM3heREiFj2
I wanted to admire his perfection, his strength.378Please respect copyright.PENANA8iazTtnCee
378Please respect copyright.PENANAlso8Q3CycV
"Good morning, Miss Quinn."378Please respect copyright.PENANAlGQ6H2ykpm
378Please respect copyright.PENANAN30etjpFkE
My heart seemed to skip a bit as Kalon addressed me still keeping his attention on his shirt as he finished buttoning it up.378Please respect copyright.PENANAUt4hPyoHgm
378Please respect copyright.PENANAX9CqXUTvUB
The blonde gasped and spun around in a haste. As soon as she did, I realized that it had been the blonde she-devil that had been choking on his dick.378Please respect copyright.PENANADVKMr8Ccgn
378Please respect copyright.PENANAoxDY3ry4RB
"Are you fucking serious?" Naomi screeched and covered up her exposed breasts.378Please respect copyright.PENANAzuSOr5h90p
378Please respect copyright.PENANAPR52Z3rJ6M
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was interrupting something," I apologized and kept my gaze on the floor. "Do I need to come back?"378Please respect copyright.PENANA0A6rpCyYor
378Please respect copyright.PENANAjdYxMHv9wh
I heard the office chair move and Kalon spoke up. "No need! Good morning, I'm excited to get you started."378Please respect copyright.PENANAc4VVcmbp17
378Please respect copyright.PENANAx1iHuioFQj
"Well, I'm out of here. Let me know what happens with the meetings," Naomi sighed and pushed past me, nearly pushing me over.378Please respect copyright.PENANA8zmz11mkYc
378Please respect copyright.PENANAJMQwlaLH0M
Kalon and I sat for a few moments in silence as the door slammed shut with her rage fueled exit.378Please respect copyright.PENANAXBdiz4WpuX
378Please respect copyright.PENANAltNTcO3hQi
I took a deep breath and looked back up at him. He had already been staring at me.378Please respect copyright.PENANAuwg9G7rbpN
378Please respect copyright.PENANAIoeMCfguAC
"I'm very sorry for interrupting the two of you. I didn't realize Naomi was your girlfriend, otherwise I -"378Please respect copyright.PENANApJ9LPfeYpN
378Please respect copyright.PENANAIlUygt7bnC
Kalon put his hand up to stop me. "Please stop apologizing to me and Naomi is not my girlfriend."378Please respect copyright.PENANASNxGu70itn
378Please respect copyright.PENANAw8ppowIHoK
"Oh..."My nerves relaxed a bit, "I'm so-" I started out again but stopped when I saw his eyes narrow. "Understood, sir."378Please respect copyright.PENANAKd624wyk4K
378Please respect copyright.PENANAwomOwxnWR5
He nodded and raised his arms up behind his head, the curves of his biceps showing through the fabric of his long sleeve shirt. "I'd like you to join me today, I need to attend a few meetings and I'm not the best on keeping myself organized."378Please respect copyright.PENANABfwtVoiwJe
378Please respect copyright.PENANA4mtB4LCwVO
"Of course, that's why I'm here."378Please respect copyright.PENANAYO81umRMS2
378Please respect copyright.PENANAXvRfEW1d4m
His mouth curved into a crooked grin. "I'm sure you will do great."378Please respect copyright.PENANA7Og0aZBWl6
378Please respect copyright.PENANAJPORuCEHmz
"T-thank you."378Please respect copyright.PENANAMqvcejXMxn
378Please respect copyright.PENANAUD83QVGLWv
Kalon nodded briefly and pushed back his hair from his forehead. He looked down at several scattered papers on his desk and fingered through them.378Please respect copyright.PENANALhuyNpRdEL
378Please respect copyright.PENANAyxvIeLZcFc
"Very impressed with your categorization," He said as he continued to read. "Certainly made my morning a lot easier."378Please respect copyright.PENANAdry8gEbUVN
378Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4S4CQNAWX
"Thank you...and you're welcome," I smiled a bit at the compliment.378Please respect copyright.PENANAZeEeXCNsfN
378Please respect copyright.PENANAp4yld9lRBf
"Anyways, I am going to shower and change into something a little more suited for the day. I'll meet you at your room in about an hour." Kalon said and leaned back, his grey eyes roaming over me378Please respect copyright.PENANAbQJAHUDBzZ
378Please respect copyright.PENANAbq8gQgMRaW
"Of course, sir. I'll see you soon." I responded quickly and hurried out of the room before another thought could cross my mind.378Please respect copyright.PENANAXI3VK8mshs
378Please respect copyright.PENANA8RUVirqzv9
As soon as the door shut, I leaned against it and tried to steady my breathing. My head was such a mess.378Please respect copyright.PENANAHGzZAIggZR
378Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xjj5u4o06
I didn't know what Kalon was doing...and what he was doing to me.378Please respect copyright.PENANAwzuDYxwKmS
378Please respect copyright.PENANArU32V7PZPg
Something about him was so fucking addicting. It wasn't even the insanely good looks and power, it was just everything about him.378Please respect copyright.PENANAbctA4VPrpV
378Please respect copyright.PENANAxKJLsBObAp
That next hour went way too fast. I sat on my bed the entire time just thinking about the entire scene that had played out.378Please respect copyright.PENANATnQmMSUBA3
378Please respect copyright.PENANAyJr7QXHRnN
Watching Naomi with him had me in a ball of emotions. I couldn't tell if I was jealous or just aroused by the idea of pleasing him.378Please respect copyright.PENANA9HVNi0OPS1
378Please respect copyright.PENANAp2HVAMAYTM
It felt so wrong to even let that be a thought. He was my boss! He's the reason my life is miserable.378Please respect copyright.PENANAFyh9dIalE9
378Please respect copyright.PENANAw2pkehHXyS
Despite the mental torture I went through for that next hour when a knock sounded at my door, I quickly dashed across the room to find him standing there.378Please respect copyright.PENANAckvY2TVOyl
378Please respect copyright.PENANA2Rd2gGDC0h
As always, Kalon looked incredible. His hair was styled and swept away from his face, showing off the curves of his sharp cheekbones and grey eyes roaming over me again.378Please respect copyright.PENANAPK4szBkIGd
378Please respect copyright.PENANA3IsanWATbt
"Let's go."378Please respect copyright.PENANA5AxJWKaWXU
378Please respect copyright.PENANA5rE759K6hD
I nodded and tried to keep up with his long legs the best I could. You'd think he would take into consideration our drastic height difference, but as his assistant, it was my job to keep up with HIM instead.378Please respect copyright.PENANArTGWz7j6C8
378Please respect copyright.PENANApmuikraht4
As Kalon and I exited the front of the manor we were greeted by several of his men. I started walking towards the black Escalade but stopped when Kalon snatched me by the elbow.378Please respect copyright.PENANAOwReaAObOt
378Please respect copyright.PENANABps87eBY9z
"What's wrong?"378Please respect copyright.PENANALN5mMzA5W2
378Please respect copyright.PENANAdK5wCKc7R0
He shook his head, "I'm driving today."378Please respect copyright.PENANAZXwgoydSsz
378Please respect copyright.PENANAegUPb8RoTJ
I looked at him confused and a bit shocked that we weren't being escorted by the guards. Kalon was not known for taking his employees on joy rides in his own personal cars.378Please respect copyright.PENANAKemXFUPllE
378Please respect copyright.PENANAexfrdstitj
If business was involved, it was quick and discreet.378Please respect copyright.PENANA4d9VJ0ZKU3
378Please respect copyright.PENANAX8bPIGwkhZ
I kept up with him closely as we rounded the driveway to an open garage where several expensive cars sat. I tried to keep my composure and excitement contained as he stepped inside and waited.378Please respect copyright.PENANA2ai1SE61hN
378Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qpfw6pFMw
"Something wrong?" I asked after several moments of awkward silence.378Please respect copyright.PENANAG0Cj0T75yJ
378Please respect copyright.PENANAw94SsEzH7V
He sighed and glanced at his watch. "Pick a car."378Please respect copyright.PENANARHSxeGe09D
378Please respect copyright.PENANAO6l2EDuZ3r
I tried to swallow the lump building in my throat and scanned the garage. The task of choosing his car for today was not what I had in mind.378Please respect copyright.PENANAtOecnMJRwq
378Please respect copyright.PENANAJvjnZHt3vA
What if this was some weird kind of test.378Please respect copyright.PENANAclcEFwYwF1
378Please respect copyright.PENANATo63ko5kPh
"That one."378Please respect copyright.PENANANM4D5hai7R
378Please respect copyright.PENANANSr3w3hbk9
His eyes followed my gaze and a bit of a smirk played on the corner of his mouth when he noticed I picked out the black Bugatti.378Please respect copyright.PENANASJuyUF1Wpe
378Please respect copyright.PENANAmQpJPwWbEK
Without another word, the two of us climbed into the sleek vehicle and he brought the engine to life. A deep, low grumble filled the silence as he pulled out from the driveway and onto the road confined by the heavy trees that lined the estate.378Please respect copyright.PENANA9zWfiGTwt4
378Please respect copyright.PENANAQPrOdoDoQ8
I kept my gaze out the window as he drove through into the city. I couldn't help but clutch nervously at the hem of my dress as the road started to blur more and more.378Please respect copyright.PENANAaYBfqPgLwx
378Please respect copyright.PENANAG8KqD98744
I'm sure Kalon was more than amused by my horrified expression at his need for speed, but I didn't dare give him that satisfaction.378Please respect copyright.PENANAqSJOqYllIM
378Please respect copyright.PENANAS92PovyGr5
Thankfully, our drive came to an end after a short 20 minutes and the engine was turned off once more.378Please respect copyright.PENANAXj5hGi0XzL
378Please respect copyright.PENANAgbDa2BfQ1R
"You okay?" Kalon laughed softly.378Please respect copyright.PENANAbx5pXY7NfZ
378Please respect copyright.PENANA1OcyRDM9Sr
I nodded, letting out a big breath. "You sure like to drive...fast."378Please respect copyright.PENANA8LmtRxbLiI
378Please respect copyright.PENANAOHHqpPuQFJ
"When you have a car like this it's a waste of money to not speed."378Please respect copyright.PENANAlCHWdvCE7f
378Please respect copyright.PENANAYHl04t7hQq
I tried to force a laugh out in response but didn't entirely agree with his rich boy thinking. I met Kalon at the front of the car, cradling my belongings close to my chest as the front of the casino came into view.378Please respect copyright.PENANAfOf9Ip0K07
378Please respect copyright.PENANAoyRv8hr7kC
He slipped his sunglasses off his face and eyed the guards at the front of the door. "Keep quiet unless I address you. Stay close and take plenty of notes."378Please respect copyright.PENANAwb13JTQ276
378Please respect copyright.PENANARvZxnw1z85
"Yes, sir."378Please respect copyright.PENANA6lmMMzXikB
378Please respect copyright.PENANAu0iRH1D8OJ
He glared down at me. "It's Kalon."378Please respect copyright.PENANAJKEe43q0GM
378Please respect copyright.PENANAefyGG36ufL
"Sorry, si- I mean Kalon." I blushed and he just shook his head as we entered through the front.378Please respect copyright.PENANAwOv4xCQUHX
378Please respect copyright.PENANAmI3I6HANoL
"Mr. Wolfe! It's such a pleasure to see you."378Please respect copyright.PENANAv4ez8f6cQL
378Please respect copyright.PENANAlhidBxntdN
I peeped around his shoulder as an unfamiliar man with blonde hair and a nasty looking scar down the right side of his face came into view. In a way, he reminded me a lot of an older version of Jax.378Please respect copyright.PENANATrFzwExj8h
378Please respect copyright.PENANAp02T5LswZi
"Erik, nice to see you."378Please respect copyright.PENANATwUcr5fETI
378Please respect copyright.PENANACHkqdwv0SJ
"It's been a minute, man!" Erik cheered and tossed an arm around Kalon's shoulders. "Where the fuck have you been?"378Please respect copyright.PENANA2FA6n3cyA0
378Please respect copyright.PENANA9jziQEOB7F
Kalon shrugged him off, "Business."378Please respect copyright.PENANAnxlDsxQh8v
378Please respect copyright.PENANAZBf81NxIYK
"Yeah, yeah. Always business with you! Axel shows his face around here more than you do, boss."378Please respect copyright.PENANAlHkOlpHI4L
378Please respect copyright.PENANATeQFaCFspY
Kalon didn't respond and Erik's eyes fell on me hiding behind him. "Woah, Woah! You weren't going to introduce us?" Erik gushed and put his hand out. "Nice to meet you, darling. The name is Erik Krueger."378Please respect copyright.PENANAN0VcViMM0e
378Please respect copyright.PENANApuD8Eon2j1
"Roberta Quinn."378Please respect copyright.PENANACW6ozqaWvb
378Please respect copyright.PENANAyWh79hDdFo
Erik smiled unevenly. "Where has he been hiding you?"378Please respect copyright.PENANAVGl0ktlKTe
378Please respect copyright.PENANA6StAh2UTm3
I chuckled, looking away nervously. "I'm just an assistant."378Please respect copyright.PENANABz7WySXmYm
378Please respect copyright.PENANAclO5wXVCOt
"She's trying to do her job, Erik. Stop making my employees uncomfortable." Kalon barked out harshly.378Please respect copyright.PENANAgs4FhsILie
378Please respect copyright.PENANAfInlvbrna5
Erik rolled his eyes and stepped away, still keeping me in his view as he talked. "Just being kind to the lady."378Please respect copyright.PENANAJI0XGQeabs
378Please respect copyright.PENANAdQccTPR3vg
Kalon ignored him. "Where's Vinny? This needs to get going."378Please respect copyright.PENANAmxkicESkzN
378Please respect copyright.PENANAYs6mLYQpSL
"VIP lounge."378Please respect copyright.PENANAo8h1Cq4qzy
378Please respect copyright.PENANABtl9Wh501N
Kalon nodded and looked back at me, "Come on."378Please respect copyright.PENANA9q3XOFnsNd
378Please respect copyright.PENANArGaUwVAbe3
I kept on his heels closely as he led the way through the packed casino. Men in business suits swarmed past us, laughing loudly as they swung their beers around and blew their money at the tables surrounding us. It was lively and girls by the dozen moved around us with silver platters and flapper dresses.378Please respect copyright.PENANAkqmbyzqvV7
378Please respect copyright.PENANA4OG7s509U3
I certainly could see the charm about the place. Despite not fully understanding Kalon's motives, he seemed to be good at one thing for sure.378Please respect copyright.PENANA52hKu1OeZJ
378Please respect copyright.PENANA6KOtxUgyv2
Business and money.378Please respect copyright.PENANA7BsMr3pQib
378Please respect copyright.PENANAvOUL63t99w
The halls started to dim as we turned down a red velvet hallway towards a massive room showing VIP in big, gold letters lit up by lights. A man dressed in all black stood in front of a rope blocking the entrance.378Please respect copyright.PENANAAGuNAsj7nY
378Please respect copyright.PENANAUCekVDjQQP
"Mr. Wolfe." He nodded and moved to the side.378Please respect copyright.PENANAVNFrWJqu4Y
378Please respect copyright.PENANAy7NdTqW7kn
I tried to push my nerves down as the two of us entered the room together. Loud house music filled the room and there was a small stage in the middle of the room where a stripper was performing topless.378Please respect copyright.PENANAp0MpYPuo5A
378Please respect copyright.PENANAX9dcc3Sqh6
The air was hot and full of marijuana and hookah smoke. I watched as Kalon motioned towards a group of men sitting at the back of the room with briefcases laid out on the table in front of them.378Please respect copyright.PENANAIYIdyZ6LHa
378Please respect copyright.PENANAYaGd4bMuJC
"Mr. Santoro."378Please respect copyright.PENANAMm2fNIDB0p
378Please respect copyright.PENANA1A9TeTByVw
One of the older men at the table looked up towards Kalon. His cigar hanging loosely between his lips.378Please respect copyright.PENANAOAfeEb0Vby
378Please respect copyright.PENANA8HfevowMgQ
"Kalon Wolfe," He chuckled and blew out smoke. "Nice to finally see you! I assumed Axel would've been filling in for you today."378Please respect copyright.PENANAz0vvVsbo9O
378Please respect copyright.PENANAAMgwWpLpRq
"I got back into town early."378Please respect copyright.PENANAznjbyesvSL
378Please respect copyright.PENANARdiVNYUf3e
Kalon started to move towards the booth and looked back at me. "Sit behind us."378Please respect copyright.PENANAwmx5Z0jVrx
378Please respect copyright.PENANAe5PBa4t1Pi
I nodded and eyed an empty seat at the table behind them and slid into it, keeping the conversation within earshot so I could take notes as he instructed.378Please respect copyright.PENANAEZACVvrybA
378Please respect copyright.PENANATjCtxlhlmK
The men broke out into some boring conversation about rich people things before finally getting into the real stuff. I listened as attentively as I could as they discussed percentages and cuts.378Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ7PEHxsm3
378Please respect copyright.PENANAT9mhd6wDcB
About an hour into the conversation, I could feel my hand going numb. I didn't know anything about this Santoro fellow, but from what I could tell it sounded like he was really wanting to screw Kalon over.378Please respect copyright.PENANA51ztGhK5kv
378Please respect copyright.PENANA34QGwXcxK3
"Hey, beautiful."378Please respect copyright.PENANA9DSoDwoBlG
378Please respect copyright.PENANA1ESs4P0YaM
I put my pen down and looked up as Erik from earlier slid into the booth across from me.378Please respect copyright.PENANAwJzOWv8tL1
378Please respect copyright.PENANAARF2TFlBIG
"Hey, sorry I'm trying to work."378Please respect copyright.PENANAUL2MN0sTtl
378Please respect copyright.PENANAPO6p0wZTJi
He smirked. "Probably pretty boring listening to all of that business chat, huh?"378Please respect copyright.PENANAiA4tHaKVwO
378Please respect copyright.PENANALGQWxxQhfa
I nodded and tried to focus on the notes. "I guess so."378Please respect copyright.PENANAP5yIwpiMkE
378Please respect copyright.PENANA3DW62rNp0I
"I bet working for someone like Kalon Wolfe is pretty scary too."378Please respect copyright.PENANAZuim3zBleq
378Please respect copyright.PENANALDwgsKTTK7
I looked up, confused. "What do you mean?"378Please respect copyright.PENANAox6zkL7CRQ
378Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ7sG2SUof
He rolled his eyes and leaned closer. "You don't have to play it down. Everyone here is just as bad as he is."378Please respect copyright.PENANAeG62D22Yj8
378Please respect copyright.PENANA3Yy2zzka2e
"Bad?"378Please respect copyright.PENANARHoNVwbayG
378Please respect copyright.PENANA3A3jBwL9dk
"Bad," He mimicked and slid out a cigarette. "Want one?"378Please respect copyright.PENANA0dy8Hz12aI
378Please respect copyright.PENANAPUqPUcXCeC
"No thanks," I shook my head. "And I actually don't really know a lot about the family. I know what I signed is unusual, but Mr. Wolfe tends to be pretty private."378Please respect copyright.PENANAm1NewcAs29
378Please respect copyright.PENANAOlAdDqCdUA
"As he should, he doesn't need girls like you being involved."378Please respect copyright.PENANA15GRRfIg9m
378Please respect copyright.PENANAf71DEiQvzi
"Girls like me?" I laughed.378Please respect copyright.PENANAwD83ywnEv0
378Please respect copyright.PENANAKpGxWUmBFy
"Pretty and innocent," He winked. "I'm shocked he swapped out Naomi for you."378Please respect copyright.PENANAazjlUWwsso
378Please respect copyright.PENANAIXaYfCRU1D
"Ouch."378Please respect copyright.PENANA48QLOG8MVf
378Please respect copyright.PENANAviIEZU6wzs
He took a puff. "I don't mean it as a negative, cutie. Naomi is a fucking bitch, but a girl like her is definitely cut out for this business."378Please respect copyright.PENANAO0Bta7klab
378Please respect copyright.PENANA8etxVDmaVE
"Well, why don't you enlighten me then," I smiled and leaned forward.378Please respect copyright.PENANA6rQtAdy6SO
378Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ3EaEkxs1
He shook his head and blew smoke out towards me. "I don't think I should piss your boss off."378Please respect copyright.PENANAFObOlrBezc
378Please respect copyright.PENANAMzCchrH5zD
"Why? Would he kill you?" I teased but honestly wanted to know.378Please respect copyright.PENANAJwL1f9w5Bz
378Please respect copyright.PENANArLbSjwjw4j
Erik started to lean towards me again to respond but stopped as someone approached us. His eyes darting behind me.378Please respect copyright.PENANAIz7LFgkgu1
378Please respect copyright.PENANA23fdp0JnnY
"Let's go, Roberta."378Please respect copyright.PENANAlH2NL0qLPK
378Please respect copyright.PENANANqOF0sny56
I closed my notebook and looked up at Kalon. His eyes still on Erik. He looked super pissed off.378Please respect copyright.PENANADgZKcUge5I
378Please respect copyright.PENANAMCF4QsfI8I
"See you around." Erik nodded at the two of us and moved out of the booth quickly.378Please respect copyright.PENANA1XrX6m8MRq
378Please respect copyright.PENANAg4K2HXGe5S
Kalon watched as he made his exit and looked down at me, his features stone cold. "What did he say to you?"378Please respect copyright.PENANAHm3glfDJhP
378Please respect copyright.PENANAxNtucqxxVr
"Nothing, really." I lied.378Please respect copyright.PENANAgE6W7DVvZY
378Please respect copyright.PENANAmpIlWu7mCE
I didn't want Kalon to have any reason to hunt Erik down for something so little. I knew Kalon was not a typical billionaire, I wasn't that dumb. I just couldn't get anyone to really admit the full truth to me.378Please respect copyright.PENANAKcr9KS0zdJ
378Please respect copyright.PENANAAkBqSXevix
"Don't lie to me, Roberta." He said sternly.378Please respect copyright.PENANAljyVVMU4Zd
378Please respect copyright.PENANA8Rn8O5RKzO
My chest tightened. "I'm not, sir."378Please respect copyright.PENANAVXAF8cV9QC
378Please respect copyright.PENANAOxMWoJNV8Z
He sighed, angrily. "It's Kalon, dammit."378Please respect copyright.PENANAMAm6j6xtFm
378Please respect copyright.PENANAaKtwwQRVia
"I'm sorry."378Please respect copyright.PENANA85iNTICQBx
378Please respect copyright.PENANARCQOmjnNw6
He pinched the bridge of his nose and motioned for me to walk ahead of him. "Just head out to the car, please."378Please respect copyright.PENANA1q7GC5LcJI
378Please respect copyright.PENANAJYCxapn4cl
I nodded and made my way out of the room. The tightness in my chest seemed to only get worse and I felt like a fucking idiot. It was my first real day with him and I already was pissing him off.378Please respect copyright.PENANAwKyVrgMf0W
378Please respect copyright.PENANAPIWPqwNEaD
I could feel his eyes burning into my back as we walked through the casino. I just knew he was going to report back to Naomi about what a failure I was at this. Maybe he would just off me and end my misery before it got worse.378Please respect copyright.PENANAKHB6E924gO
378Please respect copyright.PENANAaAkxSNpRpj
The guard at the front of the casino nodded as the two of us started to make our exit towards his car. I really just wanted to go home and cry at this point.378Please respect copyright.PENANAJkvNAeytg6
378Please respect copyright.PENANAcAjqYnqYv9
I don't know why I even cared about how he reacted to me. I barely knew anything about him and was nothing but a disposable employee to him.378Please respect copyright.PENANAuIwKHUgEAz
378Please respect copyright.PENANAGAYQ79c1Bo
I'm an idiot for even questioning my feelings towards him. He's my boss, that's it.378Please respect copyright.PENANAsGqrzGyGyx
378Please respect copyright.PENANA25oH2iVNqG
"Wait."378Please respect copyright.PENANAzM8iP6jgNJ
378Please respect copyright.PENANAhtBaEoBPRn
I stopped in my tracks as Kalon pulled me back towards him by my waist. I felt the stiffness of his stomach against my back and looked up towards him, confused.378Please respect copyright.PENANAStEBTDAtsJ
378Please respect copyright.PENANAzsb2atm9yk
Before Kalon had time to even react gunfire begun to ring out around us, shattering the windows. I heard the people around us scream in horror as my body hit the building.378Please respect copyright.PENANAZet71v5zUy
