Ross slept on the den hideaway sofa for three nights to avoid getting Kayley sick.
Ross did not want to go to the internist unless absolutely necessary, because he was allergic to antibiotics.
By the third day, while he was still a bit tired, Ross felt better in regard to the cold.
Ross awakened that morning, looked briefly at the papers, stuck then in his briefcase, and figured he would look at them in detail when he got to the office.
Kayley was sleeping due to a school holiday when Ross was dressing. She opened her eyes, and said. "Ah, where might I ask are you going?"
"To the office, for a half a day. I'm feeling better. The sleeping a lot and drinking fluids knocked this out of me. I promise I will be home by no later than 3 or 4. I want to look this lawsuit over in the office, and then get in touch with Timothy. I was not strong enough to deal with him a couple of days ago, but I am now" Ross said.
"Are you going to pack him in?" Kayley asked.
Ross sighed. "Kayley Ann, after I have not been well for the past three days, and considering how today could well be when I get to the office, please do not ask me a question like that now. I dont have the answer. I dont quite frankly know how this will play out. I just have to see" Ross said, grabbing his case, and running out the door.
Ross jumped in his Uber, and went to the office. "Good Morning, I'm feeling better or I would not be here. Please hold all calls until I open my office door. I need to deal with Timothy and perhaps an attorney before I do anything else today" Ross said to Vic.
"Of course, Ross" Vic said, as Ross closed his office door.
Ross dialed Tim's number, and Tim answered. "I guess you're better" Tim said.
"Physically, yes, I'm better , Timothy, my mood, I'm fit to be tied. What the Fuck is this now?!" Ross Challenged.
"It's simple, Ross, another producer in another country sued me claiming I owe him money" Tim replied.
"Do you?" Ross asked.
"There's a dispute. He charged me for goods that he did not send, and I did not pay him. They sent part of the order of goods, but not the rest of them" Tim said simply.
Ross sighed. "Okay, I'm going to look this over some more, call Alan Hell, and have him get you an attorney. Did you pay anything to this producer?" Ross asked.
"I wanted to settle the claim for the half that he sent me by paying him half the amount and walking away, but this guy wont accept that" Tim said.
"Okay, then it sounds like you have a legitimate claim" Ross said.
Ross dialed Alan Hell's number.
"Ross, how are you? Hope you are better?" Alan said.
"I'm feeling better, and I'm in the office, how are you?" Ross said.
"Just fine, what's up?" Alan asked.
"Well, my friend Mister Patrick has another problem. A second producer sued him claiming non payment on an order. Tim says the guy sent Tim half an order, and Tim wants to pay for half, but the guy wont accept that Thus, you see the problem" Ross said.
"Yes, I do. Send me the papers, I will look at them , call Tim and then refer him to a friend of mine, and send my friend the papers. Just like you always do, you will get Tim out of this, with my help of course" Alan said.
"Of course" Ross said.
I';m guessing you have to stay home another week with being sick. " Alan said.
"Let me see. Today is Thursday of course, so maybe by mid week next week I can go to OKC. Let me just see how I feel day by day" Ross said.
Ross played around with computer work, looked at evaluations of possible companies he wanted to buy, and called Fritz. Ross told Fritz that Ross was strong enough to go into the office, but not strong enough to travel. They agreed to wait and see, and maybe by the following Tuesday, Ross could consider going to OKC.
Ross left the office at 3. "I've done enough for today. Getting tired., Will be in tomorrow for at least half a day unless a tornado hits me" Ross said.
"Feel better, have a good night, Ross" Vic said.
"Thanks, Vic, you too"
Ross got home at 4.
"Good boy. How do you feel?" Kayley asked.
"Well enough to kiss you on the cheek but not get into it" Ross said, kissing Kayley's cheek and getting an iced tea.
"So what did you do about Mister Patrick?" Kayley asked.
"What else? Talked to Mister Patrick, sent Mister Hell the papers, and now wait and see" Ross said.
"What are your plans?" Kayley asked.
"Go in tomorrow, rest this weekend with you, and as next week goes along , see how I feel. If I feel better, OKC for two or three days, if not, then I stay in New York next week, and go the following week" Ross said.
"Good plan" Kayley said.
Ross slept on the sofa the next couple of nights, but by Saturday, he felt well enough to feel like he wanted to go back to bed.
"May I please come back to bed?" Ross asked.
"Yes, if you;'re better. The price of the spot in bed, will be lovemaking and a fuck. Can you handle that, marketing boy?" Kayley teased.
Ross eased Kayley down on the bed, kissed her, and started clawing at her clothes "But of course, , teacher, when have I not been able to handle it?" Ross asked.
Ross and Kayley made love, and dropped off to sleep.
On Sunday, late in the morning, Fritz called.
"Mister P? Unusual to hear from you on a weekend. How are you?" Ross asked.
"Eager to meet some investors, but most important, how are you feeling??" Fritz asked.
"Well enough to come down tomorrow night. I will rest at home during the day, no office, make a late afternoon plane out of here , get there by early evening, we will start the shows Tuesday morning to either Thursday or Friday, does that sound fair?"
With you not being here for a couple of weeks, I can guarantee two hundred fifty show people. Even if we get fifty, its something" Fritz said.
"Fine, my friend, see you tomorrow night" Ross said.
Kayley looked at Ross.
"You're going?" Kayley asked.
"Teacher, if I'm okay enough to have sex with you, I'm well enough to go on a trip. 48 to hopefully not even 72 hours. I'm fine" Ross said.
Kayley sighed. "Okay, be careful"
Ross rested at home on that Monday. Kayley went to work. Ross took a mid afternoon flight from JFK, landing in OKC at 7 pm OKC time. Ross took an Uber to the office, had dinner with Mister P and Steve, and then Ross went back to the hotel to sleep.
On Tuesday, would be the start of at least two or three more shows and discussions over a period of three to four days.
What would happen with the shows and potential investors this time?
That would be seen.
