The e-mail Ross saw which could be "potentially serious" was from a "supposed reliable source" saying that Tazzio's "offer of settlement was a trick.
Ross sighed.
Ross knew that there was nothing he could do about it until the morning. Thus, he popped both his calming and sleep meds, and decided to try to sleep.
Kayley, upon hearing Ross get into bed, mumbled. "I know you went to the den to look at your e-mails. Is something wrong?"
"Please don't worry about it. I took my meds and I'm going to try to get some sleep. As you said, I cant drive myself crazy about things 24-7. That is how I can , will, and did get sick" Ross said.
Ross was able to sleep four to five hours. When Kayley awakened for work, Ross's eyes were open.
"I know you're going in. Okay, spill it. I know you went into the den, and that something you saw upset you. What was that something?" Kayley asked, calmly but directly.
"This e-mail was from an "unknown but reliable source. The e-mail said that Tazzio's now settlement offer is a trick" Ross said.
"What do you think? " Kayley said.
Ross sighed. "Honey,. please. Its too early. I dont know what to think. As I said, I will go into the office by noon, and just do what I have to . I am going to tip Alan Hell off about the e-mail, ask him to read it, and see what he thinks. Beyond that, I'm not going to drive myself crazy. Not worth it for something that might turn out to be nothing" Ross said.
Kayley kissed Ross. "Good outlook. Have a good day. See you tonight"
"I will be here by no later than six. I'm not going to do too much, just work some on Mel as usual" Ross said.
Around nine, Ross called Vic.
"Ross,. how was OKC?" Vic asked.
"Decent. Productive. I will be in around noon. I have to take care of something in the morning.
Ross texted Alan Hell. "Can I email you something I received, and please just look at it within the next 24 hours when you can? I received a strange e-mail last night" Ross said.
Alan texted back. "Of course. Send it to me, I will look at it, think about it, and we will talk tomorrow" Alan said.
"Thanks, as always, my friend" Ross said, and Ross then forwarded the email to Alan Hell.
With that done, Ross wanted to go in. He showered, downed a bagel and his meds, dressed in his work outfit of a navy sport jacket with tan slacks, this time with no tie, called an Uber, went downstairs, and climbed in to go to the office.
When Ross got to the office, he said hello to everyone. Ross looked through his e-mails, and then went into Vic's office.
"Good Morning Ross. Glad OKC went well.
"I need to talk to you about something" Ross said, closing Vic's door.
"Of course, Ross. I'm all ears. Talk away" Vic said.
Ross sighed. "I got a strange email during the night. You know that I hardly ever sleep. I came home from OKC, and went into the den to look at e-mails. Kayley always tells me not to do that, but you know me, my brain constantly works, so I never listen. Anyhow the point is, that this email said that Tazzio's settlement offer is supposedly a trick. I talked to Alan Hell this morning and sent him the email. Now I wait for his response" Ross said.
Vic himself sighed. "I'm sorry, Ross. I dont know what to think. Everyone who knows you, knows the battles which Tazzio and you have been through. At first I thought maybe he was tired of fighting you, and wanted to call a truce. There are two possible sides to this story. The e-mail you got was of course nothing more than from a flake looking to make money from you by dangling false information, or, maybe in fact Tazzio's settlement offer is a trick. " Vic said.
"I'm just going to have to be patient, let Alan Hell read the e-mail, and see what he thinks. I'm going to try to get some things done and take my mind off of this" Ross said.
"I'm here for you if you need me" Vic said.
"How about we do S and W for lunch and leave around 1 unless something unforeseen happens?" Ross offered.
"Good idea, and thanks" Vic said.
"Vic. Thank You for being my friend, my COO, and my sounding board. Without you,. this company would have been in big trouble long ago " Ross said.
"You and I have a mutually beneficial relationship. That is why we work so well together" Vic said.
Ross went back to his office, and was hard working on Mel.
As if the strange email was not bad enough, Tim called Ross.
"Can we meet today?" Tim said.
"No meeting today, Timothy. Sorry. Vic and I must have lunch to discuss RossShell business ourselves. I will do tomorrow unless something unforeseen happens. We will talk in the morning" Ross said.
"Okay, understood. I know you just got back from OKC" Tim said.
"Yes, and thank you for understanding. I will call you tomorrow morning" Ross said.
Around 1, Ross and Vic went to S and W. They ate steak, salad, and potatoes. The men did not discuss Tazzio.
When Ross got back to the office, he worked another hour on Mel's work, and had enough. It was 330 by then.
"I'm out for the day. A bit tired. Will be in tomorrow usual time" Ross said.
"Have a good night, Ross. Take care" Vic said.
"Thanks, Vic. You too" Ross said.
Ross went home, arriving at 430. Kayley was not home yet due to a meeting. Around 5, she lumbered in.
"Hi, glad you're home" Kayley said, kissing Ross.
"That goes double for me. May I please give you a foot massage and smell your feet as payment if I promise not to tickle. No ladder request, no tickling, and no funny business. I need to talk to my partner" Ross said.
"Of course, sweetie. Get us the iced tea, and my ears, and my feet are yours" Kayley said.
Ross gave Kayley an iced tea,took one for himself, drank a swig, took off Kayley's shoes, took her feet in his hands, and buried his face in her musky soles. Ross wanted to have sex with Kayley badly, but that would come later. For right now Ross needed to just talk to Kayley.
"Okay, so tell me about the day" Kayley said
Ross sighed. "I called Alan Hell from here this morning, told him about the e-mail, and sent it to him. I went to the office, pushed through Mel's work for a couple of hours, went to S and W with Vic, and we discussed the e-mail and such. Now I wait. I dont know whether to be upset and to think its real, or whether this person is just some whackjob looking for a payoff for false information. Alan Hell might be able to read the situation better than I can, and you know how much I completely trust him as both my friend, and as a lawyer. Thus, I wait. I focus on my health, us,, RossShell, Mel, and RFS" Ross said.
"It all sounds good. Yet, I know you better than I know myself. Please just try to control your emotions" Kayley said, quietly but honestly.
"I will, K. I promise"
"Let's just go down the street and get a burger or something. Maybe if I take a walk with you, I can clear my head" Ross said.
"Shower first, then food" Kayley said.
Ross and Kayley showered, dressed, and then walked down the street to a general eatery about a block from their apartment.
When they got home, Kayley gave Ross her feet to smell and kiss again.
"If you want to tickle, let's do you know what later, and then you can tickle, okay?" Kayley said.
Ross kissed Kayley. "Thanks, K the VP, you are tops"
Ross and Kayley turned on a movie, but Kayley knew that Ross was almost disinterested. So, she turned the movie off, and led her husband to bed.
"Let's see if I can interest you in "this" Kayley said, dropping all of her clothes, and getting naked.
Ross's breath caught in his throat.
"You are so beautiful, inside and out" Ross said.
"Now, please let me help you out of what you have on. I have plans for us" Kayley said.
Ross got on top of Kayley, and kissed her from head to soles and toes, as her nipples hardened. Ross sucked Kayley's toes, and gave her a quick but intentional tickle on her soles and under her ten toes, as Kayley flexed her toes back, and squealed with laughter.
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! OH OH MY GOD! FEET AND TOES ARE SOOOO TICKLISH! NEEOOOOO! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! Kayley squealed,. as Kayley's pussy got wet, and Ross;'s dick hardened with thoughts of her submitting to him.
"On top for you tonight. Its okay. I know you need it" Kayley said.
Ross kissed Kayley. "Thanks, K the VP I love you forever"
"K the VP loves you forever. It is all going to be okay, babe. It will work out, you will see" Kayley said.
Ross gently inserted his mega hard dick into Kayley's wet pussy,. and not long after, they both came. In Ross's case, it was an important release of tension.
Ross and Kayley held each other kissing, until they drifted off to sleep.
In spite of being unsettled about the e-mail he had received, Kayley's understanding and TLC had helped Ross immensely.
Ross opened his eyes at 5 am, and felt refreshed.
Kayley looked over at Ross. "I know you're up. I hope you are feeling better" Kayley said.
Ross kissed Kayley. "Good Morning, my partner for life. Yes, I feel better. I needed last night very badly." Ross said.
"That is what VP partner is here for, to love, and cuddle you" Kayley said.
Kayley got into the shower, and dressed for work.
"Babe, seriously. Please just go in, and whatever you find out from Alan Hell, please try to stay calm. Focus on Mel's work and approving other people's work. Obssessing will only make you feel sick, unproductive, and nervous" Kayley said,.
Ross smirked. "Kayley the VP's motivation lecture. So important for Ross, the less than mature CEO" Ross said.
"I will see you tonight. Please, just see how it plays out" Kayley said.
Ross got to the office, and was trying to stay calm
That morning, Ross got an e-mail from Alan Hell.
"Ross, I need a few days to think about this e-mail so that I can give you a through and honest answer. Please just focus on Kayley and you, and your day to day work, and go about your lives. Somehow, we will figure this out" Alan said.
Ross tried to work through the morning, and just focus on his office work.
Around noon, more unsettling news came.
"Ross, there is a legitimate Canada deal . Yet, it has to be done "fast" I need you to meet me in Toronto ASAP" Steve said.
Ross sighed. He knew how important finding and closing a legitimate Canadian deal was to Fritz, Steve, Ross, and RFS.
How would having to run to Canada on such short notice affect Ross's health and his energy level?
What would Kayley's reaction be to Ross's taking a Canadian trip?
Those things would all be seen.
Ross sighed.
Ross knew that there was nothing he could do about it until the morning. Thus, he popped both his calming and sleep meds, and decided to try to sleep.
Kayley, upon hearing Ross get into bed, mumbled. "I know you went to the den to look at your e-mails. Is something wrong?"
