The logical first call Ross made when he saw the two emails was to Steve.
"I read your email. Why did those guys cancel a deal because I went home sick? Have they not heard of a conference call? Video conferencing? Asking me to come down within the week? It was not like I played hooky or left t go on vacation with Kayley. Can we resolve this?" Ross asked.
"How soon can you get down here?" Steve asked.
"I can bring a nurse and be down tomorrow. I also have to return Alan Hell's call from this morning. He sounds like he has or had ominous news about Tazzio" Ross said.
"Let me see if I can track these guys down and make a conference call or Zoom call for later today or tomorrow. I will get back to you" Steve said.
"Okay" Ross said.
Then , Ross called Alan Hell.
"Ross, it almost sounds like Tazzio wants to join in with you. I dont know if hes looking for a job, a minority partnership, you to sell him a company, or what not" Hell said.
"Alan, I will buy a small company and give it to him as a gift if it will get him off my back. You know that I have health iosues, and plus, Steve, Fritz and I are always having issues in Canada. We have never fully recovered after what John Fish did. Call Tazzio or his attorney or whoever is representing him, and tell him I just want to settle somehow, and want him off of my back. I've gone from "bring it on" to "Get the Hell off of my back. Steve called. I may have to leave town . Steve wants me to come down very soon. Kayley will likely have my head, but I will deal with her" Ross said.
"Okay, let me see how I can get you out of this" Alan said.
Again, Ross, who not in tip top shape, due to a very hot Indian Summer day in New York, was able to finish Mel;'s work. Ross called Mel. "Your work is done, early as usual. Here is the thing. I may have to go to OKC in the next couple of days. Since your work is not due for 7 to 14 days. Might I please see if I actually have to go to OKC first so that I can have a proper meeting with you? If there s no OKC, I can meet within the next 48 hours. If I do have to go to OKC, it will be within the next week, is that okay?" Ross asked.
"You know it is" Mel said.
Ross was completely drained from all that was going on. Ross ate a light lunch of steamed Chinese food and wonton soup, at Shun Lee. Ross went back to the office, and fell asleep with his shoes off on his office couch, until Vic came into Ross';s office and stirred him to go home/
"Ross, what's wrong? You dont look well" Vic asked.
Ross sat up, and drank an iced tea that Vic gave Ross.
"Mel's work is done, Thank God. Steve says that the people I was supposed to meet with before I bolted from OKC are pissed at me, and want me down there within the next couple of days. The VP is going to be furious with me, but I will explain it to her. Oh, and Alan Hell says that Tazzio is proposing that I buy him a company and give it to him to end Tazzio's vendetta against me. The question is, how much wiill this company cost me?" Ross asked.
"Ross, please gather your things and go home. You finished Mel';s work thankfully. I'm sure you will be able to figure something out with Steve, and let Hell do your talking with Tazzio" Vic said., as Ross gathered his things, and scurried out of the office.
Ross went home, stripped to hix boxer shorts, and fell asleep on the living room sofa. Kayley came home, saw Ross like that, and the first thing Ross said "May I please smell and worship your feet? I had such a bad day" Ross said.
"No, I dont care that you had a bad day" Kayley said, in Dominating character that she clearly did not mean, because Ross sat up, Kayley put her feet in Ross';s lap , and he inhaled them, and got stiff.
"If you tickle me, you are "Dead" You can, however fuck me!" Kayley said, dragging Ross to the bedroom, stripping him, throwing him down on the bed, and climbing on top to ride his pecker, as Ross touched her nipples, and Kayley came
When Ross and Kayley finished, they showered, and went to a surf and turf place, where Ross ordered two small steaks.
"Your cholesterol" Kayley said.
"I dont give a fuck about my cholesterol. I hope that I satisfied you" Ross said.
Kayley reached across to take Ross's hand, and she squeezed it. "You do not even have to ask that"
Then Kayley said quietly, "Now that you fucked me, why did you have a bad day?"
"Steve says I must come down there ASAP to spend time fixing that deal I ran out on. Alan Hell called and said that Tazzio will settle with me, if I buy Tazzio a company and give it to him. The question is , what will this company cost me? " Ross said.
"Wait until the morning and see what it all brings" Kayley said.
The couple got home, undressed., and got into bed.,
Ross fell away without taking his meds. Kayley was grading papers, and woke Ross about midnight to take his meds, which Ross did, he sent a few emails from his Ipad, and then tried to go to sleep.
Ross slept at intervals, as he kept waking up, and falling back to sleep, the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Would Tazzio actually go away if Ross bought Tazzio a company?
Why was going back to OKC such an Emergency ? to meet with someone who was not even a client yet,. ?
The next morning, Ross was awkened at 5 am, to a beeping cell phone, and three messages.
"The messages said. "No, yes, and maybe"
What were "No, yes, and maybe?"
That would be seen.
