When Ross got to OKC, knowing Ross's time limit, Ross, Fritz and Steve headed straight for the fields for show and tell and discussion with the investors.
Two unusually large groups of people, five hundred each, split up into groups of 100, between Ross, Fritz, Steve, the foreman, and the assistant foreman.
At least one of the groups, would be committing money to fields in "WestTex" , the West Texas division of RFS in that area, outside of Lubbock, TX.
At the end of that presentation, one hundred eighty people signed up.
After a rest hour of one hour, another five hundred showed up, split up into the same format. This time, a bit better showing, two hundred seventy signed, for a forty five percent signup rate that day.
Ross went back to the hotel, called Kayley for a minute, took his meds, and dropped off to sleep.
The next day, the same format, this time with seven hundred fifty investors,
Three hundred fifty in the morning, four hundred in the afternoon.
Out of that, just half, three hundred and fifty signed.
All in all a bit less than fifty percent.
Not terrible, not great, but "Fair" as Ross's father liked to say.
Ross was driven to the OKC airport, made a six pm flight through Dallas, changed in Dallas, landed at JFK just before midnight, jumped into an Uber, and entered the apartment just before twelve thirty.
Whenever Ross was out of town, it seemed that Kayley liked to sleep on the couch, maybe to hear what was going on in the apartment.
Kayley was clearly half asleep when Ross entered. He gently kissed her on the cheek. Her soles were sticking out from under the covers.
"Not a good idea to leave cute soles sticking out from under the covers, teacher. You never know when a strange man will enter the apartment and want to "Tickle your feet" Ross emphasized.
"The man that has slept with me for almost thirty years, who I'm currently talking to, knows that if he does that, he will be in big, big trouble. Now come to bed with the teacher, shut up, and just hold me" Kayley fired back.
Kayley followed Ross to bed, as Ross dropped his case, threw off his clothes, followed Kayley to bed, and wrapped his arms around her.
"No mauling, oil boy. Some of us have real jobs and have to go to work in the morning" Kayley said.
Kayley was clearly crabby, so Ross took his arms off her, just lied next to her, and went to sleep.
Around 630, Kayley stirred Ross with a kiss. "Leaving now. Sorry about the comment I made last night. You know I did not mean that. I know you love your work, and I'm happy for you" Kayley said.
"I know that you were just pissed off, and did not mean it. On the contrary. You know that I love the oil and gas. I tolerate RossShell. I probably only still keep it and will until you retire or end up tutoring students part time, and it will of course be your choice when and if you do so. Once that happens, RossShell will likely be very, very small. Let;s not discuss long term plans right now. Go to work, and I will see you later. If I go into my playpen I will be home by 630, I promise" Ross said, as Kayley dashed off.
Ross growled out of bed, and called the office at ten. "Got home late last night from OKC. Will be in around noon for a half a day. Anything earth shattering happening?" Ross said.
"Nothing much. You were not gone that long. Everyone knows you were out of town. "Vic said.
"Okay, will be in when I;'m in" Ross said.
Ross staggered into the shower, and into jeans and a polo., leaving the apartment at 11, and arriving at the office at 1145.
"No Charles Harton, too out of it. I will call Timothy. Besides that, its paperwork and computer looking for me" Ross said.
John Fish dialed Ross's cell phone. "I know you are home. I called Fritz and he told me you left last night. When do you think we can have our conference call?" John asked.
"Give me until the day after tomorrow so that I can look over the proposal tomorrow with a clear head, and give a clear analysis. I never like to make any final choices the day after I get home from OKC, especially with all that went on down there this time" Ross said.
Ross left the office at 430, got home before 6, showered, and Ross and Kayley went out to dinner and had Chinese food in Chinatown Flushing.
When they got home, Ross got a bit Dominant.
"Feet, Educator, Gimme!" Ross snapped.
"I already apologized for what I said last night, so please just foot worship , I will give you the ladder show, and then you can fuck me. I really dont feel like getting the tickle torture" Kayley said.
Ross sighed. "Fine. That will be acceptable" As Kayley discarded her shoes, Ross sniffed her feet, Ross worshipped her soles and toes all over.
Kayley set up the ladder, went to the second to top step, and stood on her toes.
"This time, I get to be on top" Ross said, as Kayley and Ross got into it, discarding their clothes, and hungrily going after each other, not having had sex in four or five days.
Kayley started orgasming loudly, as Ross worried about her volume.
"Will you please keep it down, teacher, or the neighbors will think I'm being cruel to you!" Ross hinted.
"You are being cruel. You're making your fifty one year old wife have a huge orgasm! How dare you, student market boy!" Kayley ribbed, as they both cracked up.
Ross and Kayley had a quiet, calm , loving night, that night.
The next morning, they kissed each other goodbye, and Ross went to work.
That day, was a terribly troublesome one for Ross.
Demands from Charles Harton, the account manager who worked on Timothy;s account, and severe conversations, and a demand from John for Ross, Fritz, and Steve to come to Canada, not in that order.
Ross growled out of the office at 430, Ubered home, got home at 530, went into his den, and slammed the door!
Kayley was concerned. "Ross? Honey, I want to talk to you! Please open the door! What's the matter? I can help you!" Kayley appealed.
Ross threw the door open.
"No one can help me, Kayley! I had a truly insane day. I have a decent trip to OKC, and now I come home and the merry go round spins again. I want to retire, Kayley. I want to pack it in! I'm a multimillionaire! I dont need this shit!" Ross thundered.
"Let;'s take a shower together, and then go have a fancy surf and turf dinner. Talk to me. I'm your partner. I'm supposed to help you when you're feeling upset" Kayley said.
Ross and Kayley took a shower togeether, and then went to a steak place.
"Ross, you just had a bad day. You've had a thousand of them before, and will probably have a thousand of them again until you do retire. Let's be us tonight, you wake up tomorrow, and go in with a new look" Kayley said.
The couple got home, and Kayley was able to get Ross to make love to her that night.
Ross awakened during the night, and just lied in bed.
Ross felt truly at his wits end.
He had a truly horrible day, and he had not settled the "problem" or "potential problem" with or in Canada yet.
Did Ross really mean what he said about wanting to retire? What would Ross do if he did one day get fed up, sell off, and decide to pack it all in? Kayley was at least ten or more years from retirement even if she took an early pension and retirement at 62, since she was only 51?
What developments in the immediate future would effect Ross's mindset, and how?
That would be seen.
