The papers which Vic handed Tim showed that Timothy had gotten himself "Tied up" in a deal which could potentially blow Timothy out for one hundred million dollars.
Supposedly, John, the account manager, who was assigned to Timothy, knew about the situation, but John, to protect himself and RossShell, asked that Timothy "sign off" to avoid any responsibility to John and or RossShell.
Ross looked at the situation, blew a breath and said. "Big Fuck!"
"I'm sorry, Ross. What are you going to do?" Vic said.
"I'm going to call John in here, and ask John to sit here and not say a word, until I get Mister Timothy on the phone, and I can get it out of him what the hell this is all about!" Ross clipped.
Ross walked into the outer account managers area.
"John?" Ross said.
John almost had his head down. "Yes,. Ross, I know that you must know what happened, and I'm very sorry" John said.
"John, you taking accountability for this is good. Please come into my office. We are going to talk alone, and then I'm going to call Timothy on speaker phone. Please dont say a word. I'm going to get the truth out of him, if you and I have to take a car up to his office to do so!" Ross snapped.
John followed Ross into Ross's office, where John sat in the client chair, Ross went to his chair, and dialed Tim on the office speakerphone.
"Ah, hi Ross" Tim said, almost talking like a child who had been caught with his "hand in the candy jar"
"A not so good morning to you, Timothy! I have the papers about your little one hundred million dollar fuck up! I am royally pissed and upset, but, before I expound energy arguing with you, I am going to give you a chance to explain yourself" Ross said, clearly upset but calmly.
Tim sighed. "Ross, you know how it is. Large opportunity, many partners, four or five other guys. Company's books are not what they seem to be. Product and money income is delayed, delayed, delayed, and then, bam! It all went belly up. You've had it happen with RossShell, and ah, with RFS" Tim said.
"Timothy, please let's stay on the subject at hand. This is not about RossShell and or RFS in the past. We are talking about this current situation. How much , may I ask, are you in over your head for?" Ross said.
"Between 100 and 125 mil, give or take interest rates, and what deal we can negotiate with the bank, and or any creditors and partners I am involved with" Tim said.
Ross sighed. "Do I have any time to "Digest and think about this mess? Say 24 to 48 hours?" Ross said.
"Yes, but not much more. What are you going to do?" Tim asked.
"Tim, if I clean up your mess, you do not have to know the specifics of my method of doing so. I'm going to think, call some people, and will call you tomorrow. Please dont call me at home. I';m going to try to keep this from Kayley. She thinks that all I do is to work on Mel and a couple of other people. If she knows that I am involved in a mess, I will hear static from her that neither she or I needs, okay?" Ross said.
"Yes, Sir" Tim said, as Ross clicked Tim off.
Ross looked at John. "Dont worry, John. This is not your fault, nor will I hold you accountable, or do anything with your job. This is a Timothy Special. I'm furious at Tim, but I've been through enough of these things to know how to deal with it" Ross said.
John smiled a sigh of relief. "Thanks, Ross. I appreciate your understanding"
"Please just go about your work. We will talk later today" Ross said.
"Of course, Ross" John said, leaving Ross's office.
After John left, Ross rose, walked around his office, stared at the ceiling, got an iced tea, and called the person one would expect whom Ross would call, none other than Alan Hell.
"Good Morning, Ross. How was OKC?" Alan asked.
"OKC was just great, Alan. We are in the process of getting a new source for RFS, but that is not why I am calling. I have a "situation" that I did not know about" Ross said.
"Dont tell me it's Tazzio again?" Alan said.
"Believe it or not, this time it is not. When I got into the office today, Victor showed me that my very good friend Timothy got himself caught up in some kind of mess with a bunch of people, that did not go so well, and our fine Mister Patrick is now supposedly on the hook for a cool one hundred mil. At first I was pissed at the account manager who handles Tim, until I realized how many jams I had gotten Timothy out of when I handled him myself. This time I dont think we need shark Tom to start growling. We need a calm,. stable, attorney who is not you, to try and settle with the people who Tim mixed himself up with, and probably some banks or creditors, so that Timothy and ineveitably me, dont end up in some long, drawn out court batttle or bankruptcy involving banks and whoever Tim's partners are" Ross said.
Alan chuckled. "Ross thinking calmly and not firing off. Kayley would be proud" Alan said.
"I dont have time to fire off. I have to fix this ASAP, so that I can figure out how to deal with Timothy, so that I can get back to what I do at RossShell" Ross said.
"Good approach" Alan said.
Then Alan continued. "Send me the papers, give me two to three days to think about it., Try not to see Timothy or be in touch with him except by email or phone to spare yourself" Alan said.
Ross laughed. "Alan,are you a shrink, or a lawyer?"
"I'm a friend who just happens to be a lawyer, who knows over the years how much Timothy irritates you" Alan said, calmly but concerned.
"I know, and thanks" Ross said, as the men hung up.
Ross texted Tim. "I was in touch with Alan Hell. He is going to try to figure this out. In the meantime, I need time to think about this, and do other important things. I will be in touch" Ross said.
"Understood, Ross and thanks" Tim said.
Ross spent the day trying to take his mind off the situation. He threw himself into his work with Mel, and some other people who Mel had recommended, whose accounts Ross was examining.
By five,. Ross had enough.
""I'm out, be in tomorrow" Ross said.
"Good night, Ross" Vic said.
"Night, Vic. Working on dealing with the situation you told me about. Will keep you posted" Ross said.
"Okay, Ross, and thanks" Vic said.
Ross went into an Uber, sat in 75 mins worth of traffic, and opened the apartment door at 615.
Kayley could see from Ross's face that something was wrong, even though Ross said not a word.
"I can tell by that look that everything is not okay. VP wants to know, so, give up the information!" Kayley said, calmly but with purpose.
Ross sighed, kissed Kayley, went to the kitchen to get two iced teas for Kayley and Ross, and then Ross sat on the couch.
"VP, no sooner had I even entered the office today, when Vic greeted me that my pal Timothy had gotten himself into a huge mess. When I examined the mess, I saw that John, who works on Tim's work, was in no way liable, and that my good buddy Tim had gotten himself mixed up with some "Dudes" as they like to say, and now it appears as though Tim is on the hook for 75 to 100 mil. An accountant, and lawyers have to examine this mess. I dont know if this will be a free for all suit involving a lot of threats and shooting so to speak, or a bankruptcy proceeding or an out of court settlement. " Ross said.
Kayley sighed. "What a lovely way to spend a day"
"Yeah, really." Ross said.
"How about this rather cute, VP gives you some TLC with a shower, treating for dinner, and then you can do whatever you want to my feet, and be a Mean Dom to me tonight?" Kayley said.
Ross kissed Kayley.
"Dinner and loxing sounds good. I dont want to be too much of a mean Dom, to get you pissed off with me, and end up in the guest room. Just a few of the usual favors including foot worship, soles tickling, ladder climbing, and sex will be good enough" Ross said.
Kayley kissed Ross.
"Just fine" Ross said.
Ross and Kayley got into the shower, went to a steak place, downed Steak , Kayley's treat, and when they got home, Kayley removed her shoes, and stuck her feet near Ross in his lap. Ross inhaled Kayley's musky soles, kissed her toes and soles, and then attacked her soles with his fingers, and his tongue as the VP let loose with giggles
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! OOOH OH MY GOD! NEEOOOO! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!
Ross carried Kayley to the bedroom, and they agreed to have lovin before dinner.
The couple disrobed., Ross kissed Kayley from head to soles, pleasured her insides with his fingers as she jumped, and then, inserted his hard pecker into her wet insides, as Kayley jumped again, and they both came.
"Screw going out. Too tired after that. Let's call in and just eat whatever" Ross said.
Kayley saluted Ross. "Yes, Sir!"
Ross and Kayley ordered salad and Italian food like sharing chicken parm and a small pizza in.
They ate, cuddled, and watched a movie, until around 10. Ross picked Kayley up, carried her to bed, and settled into bed next to her.
"Fuck., Kale. Just when all seems to be going okay, Tim screws it up! RossShell" Ross began to say.
Kayley kissed Ross. "Please Stop it. R. Its a bump in the road. Thngs are nothing like they used to be. Its one problem. You will figure it out. You have excellent advisors like Alan Hell and your friend Tom the Shark from Philly who have your back" Kayley said.
"I know. " Ross said.
Ross did not sleep that well even though he had taken his meds.
The next morning, Kayley awakened at her usual time, showered, dressed, kissed Ross awake, and said.
"You! Go in so you dont sit here and dwell. Do whatever for 8 to 10 hours. Just dont dwell or you will drive yourself crazy" Kayley said.
"Yes, Madam, VP" Ross said.
"Madam VP will be here tonight to help you. Arriving here by 6 or earlier will be to your best interests, but I will not hold you to it" Kayley said,.
"I may be here before if I get fed up enough" Ross said.
Kayley left. Ross showered, dressed, and went into the office in jeans, sneakers and a polo jacket.
Ross entered the office, and as the day began, the wheels began to turn.
First, Ross's favorite thing, a process server.
"Ross C? This is a subpoena *for you regarding information about your cilent Timothy Patrick. Details inside" The Server said, dashing out the door.
Then, Ross's cell phone rang.
It was Steve.
"You need to meet me in Canada, Fast, 48 hours at most. Something big is brewing" Steve said.
Ross sighed. "Steve, the last two days have been kind of crazy since I got home. Please email me details, and let's talk" Ross said calmly.
"No time to talk. Must buy a company, and fields. Mister P cant go, so you know that you and I have to" Steve said.
"Okkay, 48 hours is needed. I will talk to you later today" Ross said.
The Wheels were spinning.
As if that was not bad enough, it seemed like "Old Times" for Ross.
Something he did not need with his new setup.
Tim causes a mess, Tim expected Ross to clean up said mess.
"What were the specifics of the papers which Ross had received from the process server?
How would the lawsuit proceed forth, and play out?
Just what was going on in Canada, and how much time did Ross have to get there and meet Steve?
When Ross did get there and saw Steve, what would Ross find, and find out?
All of those complex questions would be seen, and hopefully. answered.
Supposedly, John, the account manager, who was assigned to Timothy, knew about the situation, but John, to protect himself and RossShell, asked that Timothy "sign off" to avoid any responsibility to John and or RossShell.
Ross looked at the situation, blew a breath and said. "Big Fuck!"
