The next morning, Ross saw Kayley dressed to leave for work, when he opened his eyes.
"What the? I'm going to be late" Ross said.
"You are the head of the company, you dont punch a time clock. I want you to take it easy" Kayley. said.
Ross leaped out of bed. "Take it easy? What is the matter with you? I need one million dollars that I do not have" Ross said.
"You can stay two hours later if you have to. Just get to the office whatever time you can" Kayley said.
Ross showered, got dressed, put on a suit, but put the tie in his pocket. When he got there, the office people saw he was very stressed.
"Good morning, sir" Ross 's assistant said, carefully.
"Morning,. I'm okay. Its not at you. Kayley and Victor know what the problem is. I need one million dollars that I dont have. I have to try to figure out how to get it" Ross said.
Ross seemed to be very irritable on phone calls that day. After a call with a small client that was very irritating, Ross flung open his door and said. "You're all fired!" loudly.
The staff stared at Ross like he had lost it.
Victor went into Ross's office. "No one is fired, Ross is just very stressed about something. Let me calm him down" victor said, closing Ross's office door.
Victor sat Ross on Ross's sofa, and gave Ross an iced tea.
"Ross, drink this, and please calm down"Vic said.
"Where the fuck am I going to get the money, Vic? I need one million fucking dollars that I do not have, which make us 100 million dollars. Then, if I ever did sell RossShell, I could give the staff incredible severance packages.
"What have you been doing with Tim Patrick? Vic asked in a most gentle manner (Tim was still Ross's biggest account, and largest source of income.
"I've been working on Tim separately at home. He does not even know about this. It is separate. "Ross said.
"Tim does know, someone told him. He wants you to call him Tim says he can help you" Vic said.
"I will always call Tim to discuss anything, but I cant risk it, he means too much to us" Ross said.
""In fact, here's my cell phone, hit Tim's number, and give it to me. "Ross said.
Vic hit Tim's number, and gave the phone to Ross.
"Tim, how are you? Work finished as always, and will FedEx on time" Ross said.
Ross I know about your problem. I think I might be able to help you. Let's have lunch" Tim said.
"Anytime, name the time and place" Ross said.
"Shun Lee, noon tomorrow" Tim said.
"Yes sir, see you then" Ross said.
That night when Ross got home, Kayley could see something was up.
"Okay, what did you do?" Kayley said.,
"I lost it and fired the whole staff today, then Vic told them I was insane and hired everyone back" Ross said.
"You had better keep your cool or people will leave" Kayley said.
That night Ross had a restless sleep thinking about his meeting with Tim the next day.
The next day, Ross got to the place and saw Tim sitting there" "Hi, how are you?"ross said
"Good, and you, Thanks as always for the work. I'm sure it is fine as it always is. Now I want to help you" Tim said.
"I'm listening"
Ross said.
"I think we should get on a group conference call with Fritz and Steve. Let me hear them out, and then let them fax or Fedex it all to me. I will show it to my people, and maybe we all buy smaller less costly pieces then you three doing three pieces of one mil each, that is too big for you apparently" Tim said.
"Thats an excellent idea, and thanks. The thing is, I need to buy a big enough piece where the return would be enough for me to be involved. I'm trying to make enough money to be rid of people who are let's say bad for my health" Ross said.
"Oh, yes, Bruce, and Roy. Trust me I know"
Tim said.
When Ross got back to the office, he called Fritz and Steve. "Guys, would it be okay if I gave some of my third to some other partners? The risk all for me at once might be too much, but if I bring in a couple of other guys, I x can definitely do it" Ross said.
"Of course, if the outlay is too much for you, ease your burden, as long as the money is there to pay the bill, a couple of other partners on your end is fine." Fritz said happily.
"Thanks, my friend, that means so much to me! " Ross said.
Ross opened his office door, and let out a cowboy yell Woooooooo Hooo!
"Ross?" his assistant asked.
"We can do the deal! I just need a few more partners for capital, which will come from Tim. This company is on its way to the moon!" Ross said.
Vic and Ross's assistant smiled.
We are very happy for you sir.

"You guys know what I;m going to do when I sell this deal?" Ross said.
"I think everyone in the world knows. You are going to tell Reese and White to go to Hell" Vic said.
Ross rode home from the office with two 12 roses bouquets.
"Kayley Ann?" Ross said like a continental lover.
Kayley came into the room. "Uh oh, what did you do this time? Either we have no money or you did something you were not supposed to" Kayley said.
"Will you for once have some faith. I figured out how to solve the mall problem. I am going to break up my piece into a more affordable outlay totally. Steve and Fritz agreed, and Tim Patrick is going to help" Ross said.
"Ross please dont create a tornado. You are really putting a lot on your plate " Kayley said.
"How about just saying. Good Luck husband with solving your problem. If I pull this office, I am free of the bozos Bruce and Roy for good" Ross said.
"I hope it works for you, honey. You deserve it after the health issues you had" Kayley said.
Ross kissed Kayley. "Thank You, those are the words of a wife" Ross said.
Ross played around with the numbers.
He needed a return of 3 to 5 mil after taxes for the deal to make sense for him. To do that, it would cost him as least $300.000 to #500,000.
Ross took a loan of $200, 000, sold off junk companies he would not miss, and got the other $200.000 in cash.
The next week at the signing, Fritz and Steve's lawyers. Ross and Tim met to put up the money and sign the deal.
When Ross got back to the office that day, he called Fritz, Steve, and Tim. "Gentlemen deal done, may we all make a lot of money" Ross said.
"Everything is going to fine Ross. In one years time, you will be a completely changed man. " Fritz said.
Ross had made a deal that might completely change his life, but would there be a curveball that made the whole thing crash and burn?
That would be seen.
"What the? I'm going to be late" Ross said.
"You are the head of the company, you dont punch a time clock. I want you to take it easy" Kayley. said.
