Ross called Steve back.
"Steve, would it at all be possible for me to come down there in two or three days from now, and if I'm needed before then, to please hook in via Zoom? Tazzio is driving me crazy, making all kinds of insane threats. Kayley and I must meet with Alan Hell. Alan is very busy, and the only time he can see us is for dinner in two days from now. I promise that I will be on the first place down early the following morning" Ross said.
Steve sighed. "Of course I understand. Let me see if I can delay these people a couple of days. Worst case, you tune in via Zoom the first time, and then get down here right after your meeting with Mister Hell" Steve said.
"Thank You, partner" Ross said.
After Ross talked to Steve, Ross left for the office, feeling like the weight of the world was on his shoulders.
After making his hellos, Ross decided to close his office door halfway, just to have a little peace.
Vic gently knocked on the door.
"A good friend with an ear who wants to listen and help if I can" Vic said.
Ross sighed. "Thanks, Vic. You are a gem. Probably the kindest man I know along with Fritz and Steve. Kayley and I must meet with Alan Hell the night after next, to see if we can somehow halt this insanity that is going on with Tazzio. Then, as I was leaving the house, Steve called and told me that I "must" get down there ASAP for some supposed bonanza on the Texas Mexico border." Ross said.
"Your tone sounds like the VP might snap at you for Steve's idea" Vic said.
"I was not even thinking about that. If the VP blows, I will explain it to her and calm her down. Its just, I wish I could wait a week on the Steve thing. I want to meet with Alan Hell, and "Digest" as my Dad likes to say, whatever Alan has to say" Ross said.
"I understand" Vic said.
"Let me just piddle around on the computer, and think it over. May I invite you to lunch at S and W at 1 pm? My treat of course"
Vic smiled broadly "But of course, CEO " Vic said as Ross and Vic both laughed.
Vic and Ross went to S and W. While they were there, more "merry go round happened" Tim Patrick called.
"I know that my work is well taken care of. May we meet this week as I just want your opinion on something?" Tim said.
"If its tomorrow, yes. Anytime after that, I will be tied up , sorry. I must meet with Alan Hell 2 days from now, and then I'm pretty sure that I have to go to OKC for a few days" Ross said.
"Fine, Shun Lee tomorrow, time TBD" Tim said.
"Fine, talk to you in the morning" Ross said.
Vic and Ross had a nice lunch. After lunch, they went back to the office, where, after examining some not so important information, by 5, Ross had enough/
"Done for the day. Be in tomorrow" Ross said, going through the office.
"Good night, Ross" Vic said.
"Night , Vic" Ross said.
Ross went home, and arrived at 6. He found the VP reading on the couch, and kissed her "Hi"
"Uh oh, there is a concerned tone to the that "Hi" Okay, spill it" Kayley said,.
Ross sighed. "Steve called. Supposedly, the day after you and I meet with Mister Hell, Steve wants my presence for some deal on the South Texas Mexico Border. It sounds to me like there is some big energy potential down there" Ross said.
Kayley's face fell. "I know that you have to go, but I also know that you are riled up about Tazzio and that you are not feeling great. VP will say nothing as long as you bring a nurse, do not get any worse, oh, and service VP to have the audacity for leaving me! " Kayley said.
Ross smirked. "All three are affirmative. Now. let's hop in the shower, and then we go to dinner, VP choice" Ross said.
Kayley smirked. "That is always a pleasure"
Ross and Kayley got into the shower. They went to a surf and turf place near their apartment, had dinner of steak and lobster tails, and went home.
When they got there, they went to the bedroom.; Kayley lied down on the bed, as Ross took off her clothes. He then got naked himself, smelled Kayley's feet, and then worshipped her from head to soles.
After that, Ross, on top, penetrated Kayley's vagina, as she shook with ectascy.
Even though Ross had pleasured Kayley, Kayley gave Ross a smack on the ass!
"That" is for leaving me.
"Oh , really. You think that you are so big and tough VP, try "THIS" on for size! Ross said, as he attacked Kayley's bare soles with his fingers, and a nearby ice cube in a glass, as she squealed for mercy!
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! OH HOW DARE YOU DO THAT! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! Kayley said, wetness in her pussy.
"Did you like that?" Ross asked.
"Oh immensely" Kayley smirked.
When they awakened the next morning, Ross called Alan Hell to see if perhaps Alan could push the meeting up a day, explaining that Ross really needed to leave town for an important meeting.
Alan was most understanding, saying that he would meet Ross and Kayley at an Italian place for an early dinner that night in Manhattan.
Ross also fibbed to Tim that he had to postpone their meeting until Ross came home from OKC, saying that Ross needed to leave immediately. Tim knew that it must be something important if Ross had to leave so suddenly, and Tim texted back that Tim understood.
Ross texted the info about the meeting with Alan to Kayley, and at 6 pm that evening, Ross and Kayley met Alan for dinner.
"Kayley, so good to see you, it has been a while" Alan said, kissing Kayley on the cheek.
"You're a fine man, Alan. I know how well you and Ross have always gotten along both personally and professionally, but you might not think so when I explain what I have to say" Kayley said.
"Kayley, I've known you and Ross for as long as you have been married. I consider myself both of your legal advisors , even if I cant be officially. What is on your mind" Alan said.
Kayley sighed. "You and I both know that while Ross has successfully cut back significantly on his "official work" at RossShell, that Ross still has a lot of responsibility with the company, with approving other account managers work, not to mention his extreme tasks being equal partners with RFS. You know all this, of course. I am very concerned. You are aware of how Ross's situation with Tazzio, and how it is never ending. It almost seems like a "never ending war" with no purpose., Tazzio fires bullets to "raise Ross's ire." Ross supposedly offered Tazzio a settlement of a small company or two for the two of them to sign off and cut the BS and the war. I thought it was just about money instead of something else. We both know that Ross got back RossShell from Tazzio and that Ross has built it back better than ever. Ross will never take Tazzio in as a partner or be a minority partner with Tazzio in anything. This war simply cannot go on. For Ross's health,. for the good of Ross's and my relationship, or for the good of Ross's present and future work. So my question , placed bluntly is, "How The Hell can we put an end to this, to finally have peace?" Kayley said.
Alan sighed. "You just asked me the most complex question. Honestly, I dont know. We both know that while we care for, and in your case, love, Ross, Ross tends to get, sidetracked, and almost obsessed. I'm trying to think of a way out of this, and each time I believe I have found a way out, Tazzio does something else" Alan said.
"Straight Question, Alan. Is there a way to simply sue Tazzio for Harassment, and force him to settle on some terms?" Ross asked.
"Ross, unfortunately, suing someone on claims, until they are determined to be valid and or invalid by a court, is not harassment from a legal standpoint. Let me think on this. Maybe you and I should have a car take us down to Philadelphia and meet with our friend Tom the shark as you like to call him. The three of us sit down with Tom for as long as it takes, air all of our views, and see what we can come up with" Alan said.
"That's fine, but it will have to wait until I get home. Steve called and told me that I must go to OKC for important discussion on something. I must leave in the morning. When I get home, I will call you, and we will go down to see Tom ASAP" Ross said,.
"Fine. We will do that. In the meantime, if Tazzio contacts you in any way while you are in OKC, send it to me, and I will email him and tell him that if he does not cut the crap and the harassment, I am going to file a cease and desist order for harassment with the court" Alan said.
Ross smiled broadly. "That is just the news I wanted to hear"
Ross , Kayley and Alan finished their dinner, said goodbye, and Ross and Kayley went back to Queens. Ross packed, and tried to sleep.
"Okay, Ross. We will figure something out. For the next few days, please just focus on why Steve wanted you down there so urgently. There is nothing you can do about Tazzio until you get more information from Alan and or Tom. No sense in driving yourself crazy when you have important business to do in what is your favorite business place" Kayley said.
Ross kissed Kayley. "Excellent advice from the VP"
Ross packed, and slept. He awakened at 5 am for a 10 am flight to OKC.
At 6 Ross kissed Kayley goodbye , he went downstairs, and entered an Uber to JFK.
Ross's plane arrived in OKC at 230.
When Ross was on his way to the office in the car service, he could not help wonder what the big emergency was.
Ross arrived at the office at 3.,
Ross went upstairs, took an iced tea, and greeted Fritz and Steve.
"Okay, gentlemen, and my close friends, and favorite business partners. Could someone here please explain to me what the big emergency is?" Ross said, calmly, but inquisitively, and from feeling tired.
Steve smiled. "Ross, we know that you had issues to deal with in New York. Yet, I think you will be happy you joined us. Not only is this a new potential area of energy for RFS. Feast your eyes on "These Numbers" Steve said as he handed Ross a package of papers.
Ross started reading through the package of papers which Steve had handed him, and Ross's mouth dropped open a bit.
What and how much were "These numbers"? Just what exactly were the "specifics" of this potential "Bonanza " on the Texas Mexico border which Steve had told Ross about?
That would be seen over the next few days during Ross's trip.
"Steve, would it at all be possible for me to come down there in two or three days from now, and if I'm needed before then, to please hook in via Zoom? Tazzio is driving me crazy, making all kinds of insane threats. Kayley and I must meet with Alan Hell. Alan is very busy, and the only time he can see us is for dinner in two days from now.
