Riss awakened the next morning with a migraine that had been nagging him since OKC, and the pain seemed to be getting worse.
The problem was, his Botox shot was not due for another four to six weeks.
Ross would just have to take Tylenol and wait it out, as his Doctors would not give him prescription migraine pain meds on top of the Botox.
The bad internist report which Ross has recently received about his weight and BP, combined with Harton, and the business and traveling to OKC, did not make Ross feel any better,
Yet, since Ross knew he had just been away for several days, he knew that he had to go in and check the office, and might have to deal with Harton.
Ross kissed Kayley goodbye. "I feel like the migraines might be coming back". As you know I cant take the shot for at least a few more weeks. I have to go in. I will try to keep my day as calm and as brief as possible. I will be home by six at latest " Ross said.
"I understand. If you had not just been away I would prevail upon you to stay home. I know you cant, so just be careful " Kayley said, kissing Ross goodbye.
"I wont see Harton today. I will tell Timothy that if he has to see me he needs to keep it calm. Besides that I will just do some paperwork and take and return some phone calls" Ross said.
Ross went to the office. "I was away. Now I come back and want to dive into work, and my migraines are coming back. I cant take the Botox shot for at least another few weeks, so I'm going to keep this day as calm and as brief as possible" Ross said to Vic, and to Ashley, Ross's secretary.
"Ross, would you like me to talk to Harton?" Vic asked.
Ross smirked. "In an ideal world, yes. The difference is, Vic. Even when Tim gets in his pain in the ass mode, you and Tim know each other for many years. You guys know how to deal with each other. You dont know Harton. I'm trying to keep everyone away from him except me. I'm either going to tell him I need a couple of days to do a couple of things, or tell him to cool his act, or he's being dropped" Ross said.
Vic gave a sly smile. "Let me guess. A certain teacher told you that"
"Oh, but of course. I'm going to make a Botox appt for the earliest possible time if this continues. If it goes away, I will wait a week or two beyond when I can make it. Let me see" Ross said.
Ross called Harton himself.
"Charles, I just got back from OKC. I was prepared to dive head first into something specific, but I have a problem. I have severe migraines that I get Botox shots for . I got my last shot about two months ago,and the pain is starting to come back. I cannot get my next one for at least three weeks to a month, so I may not be in top shape to handle things. How do you want me to deal with this?" Ross asked.
"Is there someone else you can instruct what to do and hand it off to, so that something can be done in two weeks?" Ross said.
"Yes, I can give my top account manager, John , explicit instructions of what to do, and take over another account he usually works on which will be less taxing to me at this point., The client on that account wont care who does it as long as it gets done, and he wont mind if his work is a few days or a week late. Let me change some things, and I will call you back before the end of the day" Ross said.
"Okay, thanks for the attention. Feel better" Charles said.
"Thanks" Ross said.
Ross went into John's office. "John, I need you to please do me a huge favor. My migraines are coming on, and I simply cannot handle the complex things and aggravation that Harton gives me at this point. I'm going to tell you exactly what Charles wants, and please follow his instructions to save both you and I a lot of grief. Instead, just for this month, please give me all of Timothy's work. I will do it, and will deal with him on it. Timothy knows about this problem I have because he is my close friend as well as such an important client. I will work with him to make it less complex for me. If you pull this off for me, and it goes over well with Harton, Next month's paycheck for you will include a one month bonus, okay?" Ross asked.
"Of course, Ross, whatever you need. Thank You for the bonus" John said.
"Trust me, you will earn it in case Charles starts in" Ross said, walking out of John's office, and into his own office.
Ross then pulled out his cell phone, and called Tim.
"Are you home and in the office?" Tim asked.
"Hello to you too, best friend, and yes to both questions. How are you?" Ross asked.
"Oh, fine just preparing investor reports on certain projects, and you?" Tim asked.
"My migraines are coming back. I cant get the shot for at least a few weeks because it is not time yet. I simply could not handle Harton's bullshit with how I feel, so I gave Harton's work to John, and I will be doing your work for this month myself instead. Please , Timothy, I implore you to keep the calm between us, prepare as quick of a campaign as you can, if you might be able to help me" Ross said.
"Most important, I'm sorry your migraines are back. Of course, my good friend. About the campaign, very simple. I will tell the people who give it to me, that you have to do my work yourself this month because the guy who usually does it is busy with a special project, and that you need something simple due to going back and forth to OKC. I will give you something by the end of this week about half to three quarter of the size, and give you thirty to forty five days to do it" Tim said.
"Thanks, buddy. Even if I have to go to OKC once or twice, I should have something like that done in 21 to 30 days. Let me look at it first, and then we will see" Ross said.
"Lunch tomorrow, Shun Lee?" Tim said
"Of course, 1 pm my treat, as payment for your cooperation with my situation" Ross said.
"Thank You, see you then" Tim said.
Ross worked through the day answering emails, left at 5, and got home by 6.
"How do you feel" Kayley said, kissing Ross.
"It hurts, but I made my life a lot easier. I asked John the account manager to please deal with Harton for me until after I get my shot, and I told John that if Harton gets too frisky, I will help John with Harton. In the meantime, I told Tim how I feel, and took Tim's work just for this month. Tim agreed to give me a much easier scaled down project to compensate for my health, and that I might have to go to OKC to deal with meetings on the company buyout. I'm hoping it all works out. Let's just keep our fingers crossed" Ross said.
That night, Ross pleasured Kayley with his fingers, and his tongue, tickled her, and worshipped her feet. "I cant have intercourse, teacher, it hurts" Ross said.
Kayley kissed Ross. "Teacher most certainly understands. Thanks for the pleasure. Now let teacher soothe you" Kayley said, cuddling Ross.
Tim sent over his project the next day, and Ross and Tim had lunch.
"You look terrible" Tim said upon seeing Ross.
"Thank You, friend, so do you" Ross said in commersiation.
"Something's up. I know you. I can see it in your face. Something happened in OKC besides a routine deal. Can you tell me?" Tim asked.
"I dont want to say too much, and please keep it quiet. The only other person who knows is Kayley of course. Fritz, Steve and I met with a guy who wants to sell us a very nice size company to fold into RFS. We have to buy it in pieces for safety sake. If this goes through all the way, it will be a major Acquistion for us I just dont want to count our chickens until they hatch. We are trying to get the first part signed and bought within 30 days. If we can pull this off, it might be the biggest deal we've ever done, because it is worth so much more than even if we signed a thousand investors at once" Ross said.
"I'm very happy for you. Of course you know I have to ask, and I' m sure Kayley has also. If this goes through, are you going to tell Harton to Go To Hell?" Tim asked.
"Timothy, we both know that I could tell Harton to Go To Hell today and be fine. As I tell Kayley all the time, it is about satisfaction with me regarding Harton, and not money. For now, I just want to do my regular office work, do your work for his month, and God Willing have the first part of this Energy company buy go through. If all of those happen, it will be fine as long as the rest of it goes through" Ross said.
Ross and Tim finished lunch. Ross went back to the office, and was making progress on Tim's work.
In the meantime, John was trying to deal with Charles, with a few problems.
As the days and weeks went by, the geologists reviewed the first part of the company that Ross, Fritz and Steve were trying to buy.
All looked like it would move along.
It was going so smoothly, that the men made a meeting for the following week in OKC to meet themselves, and then with lawyers to discuss and hopefully finalize and sign contracts and complete the first part of the sale.
Would all proceed forth as planned, or would roadblocks, problems, and financial complexities develop?
That would all be seen.
The problem was, his Botox shot was not due for another four to six weeks.
Ross would just have to take Tylenol and wait it out, as his Doctors would not give him prescription migraine pain meds on top of the Botox.
