The "lawsuit" Ross had received did not last long, as, once Ross's lawyer had the papers he had received, Ross's lawyer petitioned the court for immediate dismissal.
Ross's lawyer went to court, appeared before a judge, the judge looked at the papers, threw the case out of course, and , also said that any future similar cases of such kind brought before him, and similar judges in that Court, would be immediately dismissed and thrown out of court.
Ross breathed a sigh of relief, went home, and thought he was home free.
Until, a very serious health problem developed.
Ross had been receiving Botox treatment for his migraines , and the treatment had greatly helped the pain. His next treatment was but a bit over a week away.
During a holiday weekend, about a week before Ross's treatment, Ross was stricken by severe migraines, and was completely confined to bed, not even able to take Kayley out.
On the Tuesday following the holiday weekend, Ross tried to contact the Doctor, figuring that maybe if he told the Doctor's office that his case of migraine was an emergency, that maybe, he could get the treatment pushed up.
Unfortunately for Ross, the Doctor was on vacation that week, and thus, the treatment could not be pushed up, and would have to stay at the original time.
Ross was in pain. Yet, he wanted to try to be at least somewhat productive, so, if at all possible, he tried to push himself to go into the office for short periods each day, slowly progressing on a scaled down monthly campaign that Tim had given Ross to try and conserve Ross's energy and his health.
Also, Ross, Steve, and Fritz figured out how to put together a small to medium sized investor show of twenty.
To additionally consider Ross's health,. Fritz made what was a very rare trip up to New York, and sat with Ross in Ross's office, while Steve was in Oklahoma City with the investors, and meeting with them down there, having an office meeting one day, a field visit the next day, followed by a joint office conference call and Zoom meeting later on the day of the oil field show.,
Shockingly, with Ross so ill, Ross, Fritz, and Steve managed to sign up twelve investors of the twenty, which was very productive, considering the circumstances.
Ross shook Fritz's hand warmly, and got Steve on the phone.
"Guys, you are both the best of people, and such amazing friends. Thank You for figuring this out with me, while I am going through this hell. Now, even if we take a hiatus until after my treatment next week, to figure out our next move, we made a nice little chunk of change this week" Ross said.
"Its okay, Ross, it was our pleasure. With the way you have busted your ass to help us build this oil and gas company, with your other obligations with your marriage to Miss Kayley, and RossShell, you deserve this" Fritz said.
"After I get my Botox treatment, and once I am feeling better, I have a lot of thinking to do. There is part of me that is thinking that I have to stop BSing myself, scale down RossShell by the half I have been promising Kayley, and not procrastinate, for the good of my health, and my relationship with Kayley. Like this, I can focus on our projects together, Tim, the other important people, my health, and Kayley. Let me get over the hump with the next Botox treatment, and then we will talk" Ross said.
"Ross, take care of yourself. As always we will keep in touch" Fritz said. shaking Ross's hand warmly.
When Ross got home that night, he felt horrible. "Mommy, it hurts" Ross said, throwing off his clothes, and climbing into bed with Kayley.
"Mommy is not here, Ross, but Kayley who loves you to the end of the earth is. Once this treatment is over, Ross, I do not want to fight about it. I just want you to face facts. You can do as many oil and gas deals as you want, but,., you cannot run a company the size of RossShell. You need to do either one of two things. A. Sell off the half of RossShell you have been promising me, or.. B. hire a day to day operator to oversee all of the work, and just become a Chairman who does not beat yourself up the way you do. If you do either of those things, you have my full support, and I will not say a word" Kayley said.
"Understood, Teacher" Ross said.
Ross and Kayley kissed each other, and made love.
Ross had accomplished things that week in a very prudent way. After the Botox, Ross knew that he needed to face the realities about his health, by either scaling down the company, or , letting go of his obsession to control everything that happened at RossShell, and , if he wanted to keep a big company, to get someone to do the lion's share of the work except for Tim, Fritz, Steve, and the oil and gas.
What would happen with Ross's health, the Botox, and Ross dealing with trying to figure out how to change things with RossShell?
That would be seen.
