During the night that Ross and Kayley arrived home from their trip, Ross awakened, went to the fridge to get some iced tea, and also went to get his "Sinful, you're not supposed to" food. Nestle Tollhouse Cookies.
The next thing Ross knew, the container was shaking in his hands, dropped, and the cookies were all over the floor.
The next thing Ross knew, Kayley was in the kitchen, with the light on.
"Please turn that off, teacher, the light is bothering my eyes"
"I'm happy the cookies fell. They are not good for you. That's what you get for trying to eat those piece of shit things at 230 am in the morning!"
Kayley said.
Ross sighed. "Kayley please go back to sleep. Let me drink my tea, and I am coming back to bed. I have a lunch meeting with Tim tomorrow. I'm sure that the office will be crazy with the Boss present" Ross said.
Kayley nodded, and went back to bed. Ross joined her a few minutes later, and Kayley wrapped her arms across his stomach.
"Teacher, you can only keep your hands there if you promise to please let me fall back to sleep. and not say anything more. Its the middle of the night. I just want to rest even if not sleep. Both of us have to go to work tomorrow. You have to leave at a certain hour, and even though I am not on a time clock, I would like to be in by nine or ten at latest. I have things to do before my lunch with Tim at one pm" Ross said.
"Okay, no comments, hands just holding my husband. Good night, I love you" Kayley said.
"I love you too, teacher, to the end of the earth"
Ross said.
Later that morning, Ross was stirred at 7 am when he heard Kayley go into the shower. Kayley came out dressed for work/school, and Ross was trying to shake the cobwebs from his head.
"Good morning, how did you sleep?" Kayley said, kissing Ross
"Fine once I dropped off to sleep. I had better stay up, or I will never get out of here" Ross said.
"Since I know that this is your first day back, I realize you will probably have work and email to do. I'm not going to stand by the door looking at my phone or my watch. Please just be mindful" Kayley said
"I will leave the office by six, and will be home by seven depending on traffic, okay. I have a one pm lunch meeting with Tim that could go heaven only knows how long, and I haver to get Mister P on the phone to discuss what he left on the machine last night. Besides that it will probably just be junk stuff because as you know, everyone else in the office works on all of the other accounts like Dave and Larry, and all I do is take an occasional phone call or sign papers for those guys" Ross said.
"Okay, I have to go. We will chat later. Have a good day" Kayley said.
"You too, teacher" Ross said.
Ross dragged himself out of bed, into the shower, and put on a navy suit with a tie in his pocket because of his meeting with Tim. He got his briefcase, and then it was into an Uber, and to the office, which he arrived at by 930.
"Good Morning, all. The Boss is back, cracking the whip!" Ross said jokingly.
"Morning, Ross. How was OKC?" Vic said.
"Morning Victor. I will find out how OKC was as soon as I look at a few things and call Mister P back. He had left a message on my home office answering machine in the apartment late last night, but I felt it too late to call him back" Ross replied.
Ross went into his office, looked at and discarded some junk emails, and then called Fritz back.
"Good Morning, Mister P, you sounded quite excited on my answering machine last night" Ross said,
"You are damn right , sir. We are going to make a killing on this deal. I'm thinking, we sign this sucker, collect our dough, split it as we usually do, and then discuss an even bigger oil and gas deal, or a small shopping mall. Steve and me get offered those all the time, but we turn a lot down because the O and G is exploding so much " Fritz said,.
"Such good news with as hard as we all worked this weekend. Very happy for all of us. Since I know your next question will be when I can come down again, let me head you off at the pass. I am having an important lunch meeting with Tim today. I must focus on a proposal he is going to give me, and work it out with him. I need at least this week to catch my breath in New York, and then you and me will talk as the week goes along and into next week, okay , buddy?" Ross said.
"Sounds good to me, partner, we will keep in touch through the week" Fritz said.
Ross hung up with Fritz, and took a big sigh. He loved oil and gas, but he also knew that he must focus on RossShell and Tim . Ross would not know what Tim wanted or what kind of time it would require until after his lunch with Tim. He did not want to put himself in a corner that he could not get out of.
At 1230, Ross left for Shun Lee Palace for the meeting with Tim, which was at 1.
When Ross and Tim got to Shun Lee, they shook hands, ordered drinks and lunch, and then got down to business.
"Tim, your message last night said something about buying another company, and you need me to analyze it. Is this before you buy the company to see if you should buy it, or you will buy it, or have already bought it, and now you want me to see what to do with it?" Ross asked.
"The honest answer is. The answer to that question depends on the negotiation situation and process of the discussion between me , my lawyer, and the other parties involved. I should know that as this week goes along. Ah, honest question, my best friend. When will you be going on your moonlighting job to OKC again?" Tim said.
"The honest answer to that is I dont know. All I do know is that people from the last show we just did have committed to sign. Fritz and Steve offer me things to do with them all the time, but between my work and commitment to you, and keeping a watchful eye on RossShell even though the other work seems to be under control, you know full well that I could or would be called to OKC on a day's notice. If you need me to stay here for a week to focus on something you need me to do, I can and will tell Fritz and Steve that you gave me a project with a deadline, and I cannot come down that week , for a week. It is that simple: "Ross said.
"Let's see how things pan out this week. I can always tell the people that the buy of their company has to be delayed by 2 to 4 weeks because my financial analyst who handles these things is out of town on a trip for other business. If this situation does happen, it will be important, but not a panic. I will play around with the analysis and sell and sign date, for the best interest of both of us" Tim said.
Ross smiled broadly. "Thanks, my good friend., This will all become much easier if and when I finish the thought and analysis of how I'm going to reorganize, sell off, or break up RossShell into departments. I have thoughts going around in my mind, but I cant seem to figure them out yet with all my day to day jobs as a husband, CEO of a major company, sole commitment to you on anything you want, because of how important you are to me personally and professionally, and everything else" Ross said.
"That's fine, buddy,. Just take it one step at a time. You seem much more.. calm, since you have made some decisions about how to reduce your pressure. I will bet Kayley is very happy with you, as a husband, and for your marriage, and I as your best friend and client am very happy with you, that you are trying to stay calmer and more focused instead of being all over the place, and stressed all the time" Tim said.
"Kayley thinks I stress myself out too much all the time. She says that she will believe the partial sell off or department breakup when she actually sees it" Ross said.
Ross went back to the office. He was getting tired from doing mundane computer work, and by 530 his battery had run out.
"Okay, goodnight for Ross. Office closed officially for anyone still here and wants to punch out early. See everyone tomorrow unless I am called to another state for an unexpected business emergency which is unlikely" Ross said.
"Good Night, Ross. " Ross's secretary said.
Ross impressed Kayley when , in spite of being stuck in traffic with the Uber for an hour, he unlocked the door at 630.
"Wow, good job. First day back and you get home at a reasonable hour. How was your day?" Kayley asked, kissing Ross on the lips.
"See that , teacher, I can be a good boy so as not to get on your shit list, screamed at, or banished to the guest room" Ross said.
"How was your first day back?" Kayley asked.
"Well, Tim asked me to look at and analyze a company. He said there is no pressure, but based on what he gave me, it could take at least a week or maybe more. I want to focus on that now for two reasons, One because it is for Tim, and two, to allow myself to take a week breather or more from hopping on another plane to OKC. Honestly, I would love to put a brief hiatus on the oil and gas for even a month, and sign a small shopping mall deal to keep Mister P busy for a month, so I can stay here and figure out this RossShell reorganization idea, but I know that I have to take Fritz and the O and G as it comes: " Ross said.
"Ross, I know that I have criticized you a lot in twenty five years and since RossShell has been expanding for your constant obsession with work. This in no way is meant to sound, condescending, so please do not take it that way. I am so proud of you for managing to work out a reasonable work/home life balance which is good for your health, and good for our marriage" Kayley said.
Ross kissed Kayley "Thank You, Babe. You compliment was accepted as you meant it, and is appreciated" Ross said.
That night, when they got into bed, Ross started in with Kayley. "May I please be allowed to make love to the only woman I will ever love, for her love and support to me, this week, today, and every day" Ross asked.
Kayley kissed Ross back passionately. "But of course you may, my darling It will be my pleasure for you, and for myself" Kayley said, laughing.
Ross and Kayley got into it. Kayley was wet, her nipples were hard, Ross's dick was mega hard, the works.
By the time Ross came into Kayley's vagina, the two of them were breathing very hard.
Ross lied there in bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Honey, you had a great day, and we had a wonderful night. Please dont let your brain work overtime. I know what you are thinking about with reorganizing the company. It will all come and will all happen in due time. Please try to go to sleep" Kayley said, in a loving, concerned tone.
Ross kissed Kayley. "Thank You. I needed that. I will go to sleep, and just go in around my usual time tomorrow, and we will figure it all out" Ross said.
The rest of that week was spent with Ross largely analyzing the company which Tim wanted to buy, and talking to Tim and the other parties about said buy.
Ross and the company's owners started getting into details of the price.
Tim and Ross balked at first, and were ready to walk away totally, until the other parties started to drop the price, and then the deal discussion and possibility became more serious.
By the end of the day on Friday, a company that Tim thought he would have to pay 75 million for, had been lowered to 65 million.
Ross wanted to try diligently to get the price down to 60, but would be willing to compromise with the other side in the low 60s.
It looked like the deal might be signed within a week, but Ross, of course had another problem.
Ross knew that he had to go to OKC for several days to discuss his situation with Mister P, and whether their next project would be another oil and gas deal, or a small shopping mall.
Tim knew this, and said.
"I've had you to myself all of this week to work with me on this deal. I;m not going to order you to stay here next week and not do your other work. We can put these guys on hold for another week or two. It very much looks like this deal will go through, and they are at our mercy" Tim said.
"Thanks buddy. I will have to go to OKC,. Since this is during the week, the teacher cannot go this time because she is working. In order to avoid me incurring her wrath, I will have to make this excursion three days and no more, or I have a feeling I will be dealing with one very angry teacher who will want to cut off my head" Ross said.
When Ross got home on Friday night, he tenatively planned to go to OKC on Sunday night or early Monday morning, with a stay of two or three days max for open discussion with Steve and Fritz, for either a small shopping mall, which could be signed quickly, or another O and G deal , which would take time for an investors presentation and show. Ross almost felt like suggesting that they look at and sign one small shopping mall, to both have some different project, and also to conserve his energy, but he knew the decision was not all his.
Kayley passed a comment that Friday night that irritated Ross, but he decided to diffuse it, instead of fighting with her.
"You look very tired. I know that this was not an easy week" Kayley said, with a slightly annoyed tone to her voice.
"No teacher, this was not an easy week. Tim and me are trying to negotiate a multimillion dollar company buy with another company. Some of what Tim and me talk about is sometimes put off because of my owning not only a huge marketing company, but also an ever expanding oil and gas company. Sometimes negotiation is not easy in business. I'm concerned about the deal with Tim going through, but I'm not obsessing about it 24-7 the way I used to. My true feeling is, it might be difficult, it might take a bit more time than Tim and me would like for it to take, but it will go through. May I please be allowed to do my work, and not feel like you are angry at me all the time if I have a difficult day or difficult week. Those happen in business all the time, just the way you can have a difficult time or difficult week in your position at school, due to maybe unruly students, concerned parents, teachers meetings, a principal getting angry" Ross said.
Ross presented his case so perfectly and so calmly to Kayley, that she could not dispute or argue with what he said. She just merely said.
"Okay, your point has been completely received, and the subject is dropped. So I can have a good weekend with my husband, and have him kissing me and holding me, instead of snapping at me" Kayley said.
Ross kissed Kayley "Thank You, teacher. I have plans for us to have a loving , relaxing weekend" Ross said.
The rest of the weekend was quiet and loving for Ross and Kayley.
As it turned out, the trip to OKC would come off, with Ross taking an 8 am flight to OKC on Monday morning.
Ross had to leave quite a bit before to allow time to get to the airport, security, etc. He kissed the half asleep Kayley on top of the head, and started at the door.
"Goodbye, oilman, have a good time this week" Kayley said.
"Thank You. I honestly wont know if what this trip involves is a shopping mall, a plan for an oil show, both, or what. Let's just say I will find out when I get there" Ross said.
"Please be home by Wednesday night at midnight" Kayley said.
"Oh, at latest. I could be home Wednesday afternoon, Wednesday evening, or maybe even late tomorrow night, depending, but more likely Wednesday as it will allow me two full days of discussion, and then time to get out of there. We will keep in touch" Ross said.
As Ross sat in his Uber to the airport, he seemed to have things in his marriage and work life under control, or did he?
Would some unexpected curve in the road cause things to go out of control?
That remained to be seen.
The next thing Ross knew, the container was shaking in his hands, dropped, and the cookies were all over the floor.
The next thing Ross knew, Kayley was in the kitchen, with the light on.
"Please turn that off, teacher, the light is bothering my eyes"
"I'm happy the cookies fell. They are not good for you. That's what you get for trying to eat those piece of shit things at 230 am in the morning!"
Kayley said.
Ross sighed. "Kayley please go back to sleep. Let me drink my tea, and I am coming back to bed. I have a lunch meeting with Tim tomorrow. I'm sure that the office will be crazy with the Boss present" Ross said.
Kayley nodded, and went back to bed. Ross joined her a few minutes later, and Kayley wrapped her arms across his stomach.
"Teacher, you can only keep your hands there if you promise to please let me fall back to sleep. and not say anything more. Its the middle of the night. I just want to rest even if not sleep.
