[Music] reading the memo brought back memories I wish to forget Amy my faithful but cheating ex-wife is now my boss how ironic I should have expected this but I was just relieved to be out of the marriage now it's haunting me even more Amy once said I was a heart attack waiting to happen and she was right my doctor had warned me but I ignored it thinking my hard work for the family was justified Amy was always ambitious craving luxuries like our Mansion the pool and an unused Country Club membership it was my duty to
provide or so I believed the love of my life is now in charge of my life again this realization snapped me out of my apathy I couldn't work under her not after learning about her Affairs I packed my things picked up my resignation letter and left the office for the last time leaving the letter phone car keys and credit card on Megan's desk it's been a pleasure working with you me again I wish you the best you're a valuable employee and I appreciate all your help take care and don't let her mess with you if
she does use me as a threat to get fair treatment so you're really leaving Sam this isn't just a threat she asked waving my letter yes Megan you know I can't work for someone I don't respect with all those horrible details she's lost any chance of my respect I'll miss you Sam she'll be furious when she finds out she's been pestering me about your workload I didn't tell her anything but I felt like I was betraying you I'm sorry I should have spoken up sooner I smiled don't worry you have to protect your job there's
nothing you could have said to change things I knew it was over when the merger memo came I have no secrets here as you know what should I say when she asks where you are tell her the truth she won't be able to twist it do what she wants as long as it doesn't compromise your values it was my pleasure dear I'll stay in touch I said shaking hand and kissing it as I was getting into my car a black limousine arrived at the office and Amy stepped out with two well-dressed men looking every bit
the high status businesswoman in reality though we all knew she was just a well-paid escort with a title she looked professional in her business suit but she always looked good in any outfit she didn't see me which was perfect I waited a couple of minutes for her to enter the building before leaving the parking lot for the last time I had settled my Affairs sold what I needed and put everything else in storage my doctor had advised a change of scenery and I finally took his advice I spent the next 3 months traveling sightseeing and
taking a break from work stress eventually I ended up in a small town with a temperate climate friendly residence and excellent fishing I rented a small three-bedroom Cottage with a workshop by the lake with an option to buy it had everything I needed to start fresh sitting on the back porch sipping a cold drink I wondered how Amy reacted to my disappearance I decided to call Megan the next day to find out hey Megan it's Sam how's it going over there Sam it's so good to hear from you I was starting to worry you disappeared
I laughed sitting on my deck watching the water not quite vanished but the view here is amazing wish you were here how's everything there Sam you sure know how to stir things up Amy has been causing chaos laying people off left and right Kevin Paxton quit last week after she moved him to a windowless basement office he couldn't stand it and res signed I'm sorry to hear that Kevin was one of the best what is Amy thinking she's going to ruin everything how is she treating you Megan chuckled she's frustrated she tried to fire me
because I let you go without her talking to you first I told her she could try to fire me but i' take her in the company to court I reminded her of what you said and she backed off realizing her actions could backfire Megan giggled and continued so now I'm the secretary to the demanding executive VP of operations I guess it's about keeping your enemies closer I told her I wanted a substantial pay raise with the promotion she wasn't happy but just grinned in the end I got what I wanted Megan updated me on the
latest office gossip I was glad my departure had disrupted Amy's plans I changed my life for my own good and Amy's presence pushed me to stop procrastinating this was just a bonus however I worried it might affect everyone else which wasn't my intention the next morning I ran out of sugar and decided to visit a nearby store their lot borders mine with an open Paddock in between as I left the store I almost bumped into a young couple after apologizing I noticed a stressed woman in her early 20s behind the counter can I help you
she asked as the baby started whimpering and a couple of cars pulled up to the gas pumps she sighed where is Jillian when I need her I smiled and said can I help I'm Sam and I live nearby it looks like the baby needs attention and I just need some sugar I can help out until you're done or until Jillian arrives why don't I handle the customers while you take care of your baby she smiled back I'm Vivien and I'd be very grateful for your help Sam I took care of the Travelers while they filled
their tanks washing windshields and chatting with them after collecting their payments I returned to the store where another customer had just walked in I went over to chat with him what can I do for you sir just looking at your fishing rods he replied I'm on a business trip and my cars in for repairs it'll take all day so I thought I'd do some fishing to pass the time he looked like a businessman much like I was a year ago seeing he was about to buy cheap gear I asked do you fish often he shook
his head not really but I'd like to if I had time I smiled and convinced him that investing in better equipment would increase his chances of catching fish and enjoying his time I then helped a dozen other customers before viven finished settling her daughter thank you so much Sam why does it always get busy when you leas expect it Bessie doesn't usually fuss now and Jillian is always here by this time I grinned to explain it I'd need to understand quantum mechanics which I don't maybe you need more reliable help vivien's face fell and I
quickly apologized realizing I had upset her with sad eyes and a tear she said Sam it's not your fault but I'm a widow viven told me her husband Greg an army reservist had been eliminated in a training accident his truck flipped over and he died never knowing he was going to be a father Bessie was likely conceived the night before he left wiping her tears Vivien said he would have been a good father he had so many ideas and this place was one of them gesturing to the store and land over the next few weeks
I often helped out at the store I know what you're thinking and you're probably right viven was beautiful and my hormones had been dormant for a while but it also restored my sense of self-worth Amy's infidelity had made me feel unneeded and inadequate as a provider that was the final insult Vivien seemed to understand my need to help she never directly asked for it but always appreciated it spending time with her made me feel good she was fun caring and grateful which was exactly what I needed I was heading home from another day at the
store when my phone interrupted my thoughts Hi Sam lucky you're not a secretary you wouldn't last a day with your phone manners a woman's voice purred Hi Megan you caught me off guard it's almost 700 p.m. is something urgent Megan's tone changed I waited until I got home to call because I think my work phone is tapped Sam you need to be careful she hired a private investigator to follow you she asked me to set it up and I can't refuse without risking my job but I wanted to warn you so you can lay low
I sighed is she trying to intimidate me to pass away I don't know Sam she's stressed working long hours to turn things around she looks older and has gained weight she can't be pregnant or maybe could but not by me Megan giggled no it's from stress and comfort eating she's frantic to find you and blames me for letting you leave without talking to her good grief ignoring her is useless here's an idea in a week give her a fake report saying the investigator couldn't find me but confirm my phone is active tell her you convinced
me to talk to her Megan sounded hesitant are you sure Sam I don't feel good about this don't worry Megan look after yourself first I appreciate your help but don't put yourself at risk a week later Megan texted me before work ph02 BB2 dayb ready for call today sometime I chuckled at the acronyms BB was for bad boss damn these young people in their Tech I wondered what I'd say to Amy but decided to figure it out when the time came as promised the call came I answered Amy's number yes Amy what do you want
she seemed caught off guard by my abrupt greeting what's that cow my secretary been up to I hung up the phone rang again damn it Sam I hung up again the next call Megan quickly answered are you going to talk to her or not I grinned tell her to be polite next time and she might get more than two words out of me I'm sick of her attitude Megan chuckled my pleasure Sam talk to you later 5 minutes later the phone rang Again Sam yes Amy what do you want a pause can I talk to
you for a minute I'm listening another pause Megan cried on your shoulder what did she say Megan is very capable it doesn't matter what she told me your so-called secretary is the only reason you're talking to me now you should be grateful to her so what do you want I thought I heard a sigh I'm sorry Sam I'm just a little cranky lately I know Megan is doing a good job and I appreciate it Amy was trying to diffuse my irritation but I wondered why she gave in so quickly get to the point Amy what
do you want I heard Amy suppress a sob I really need your advice Sam I thought we would work together as a team but you quit and disappeared before I could explain I snickered I saw the writing on the wall Amy when your company bought mine I didn't see the point in staying to be humiliated again so have a happy life Amy goodbye no please Sam I need to talk to you in person not over the phone just give me 30 minutes to pitch my idea I'm begging you I don't know who else to turn
to I gritted my teeth wanting to hang up and forget her after a long pause PA I finally said okay Amy but I'm not chasing you you come to my office I'll arrange it with Megan and she'll let you know when and where I hung up before she could respond and half expected her to call back but the phone stayed silent all night Amy was annoyed why do I have to go through Megan why can't you just give me Sam's address so I can go alone Megan gripped the steering wheel her Knuckles turning white Amy
this is what Sam wants he doesn't want to see you in his words my way or the highway I don't enjoy sitting in the car with you for hours either but if he wants me to bring you you'll have to deal with it I won't be there for your conversation though I'll make myself scarce I started chopping vegetables for the Italian sauce I was making for dinner Megan had called 30 minutes ago to let me know they'd arrive soon which meant they'd be here in about 20 minutes I wanted Amy to feel uncomfortable so I
stayed busy to put her at a disadvantage 15 minutes later I heard a knock it's open come in well don't you look completely at home remarked Megan with a genuine smile I chuckled Hi Megan good to see you too you look good I saw Amy standing behind her looking worried Amy that was all I said but I noticed her tired eyes and weight gain Megan's estimate of 10 lb might have been a bit harsh but it wasn't far off I could use a drink Megan said giving me a friendly hug and a kiss on the
cheek the country air suits you you look great there's wine beer or Coke in the fridge I replied holding up my grubby hands want something to drink I glanced at Amy Amy noticed my cold tone and lowered her head realizing this meeting would be tough Hi Sam wine would be nice Megan's right you look good Megan opened a bottle of white wine poured two glasses and handed one to Amy which way to the view she asked waving the wine bottle I'll leave you two alone remember she pointed the bottle at me I'm not here to
clean up a crime scene so behave I smiled and pointed to the back door don't worry about me there's a fishing rod on the deck if you want to try it out Megan rolled her eyes not likely I wouldn't know what to do with a fish even if I caught one she said as she slipped out the door leaving Amy and me alone take a seat and tell me why you're here I said pointing to a chair and returning to chopping herbs Amy hesitantly sat down trying to lighten the mood nice place you have here
small but nice I tensed my irritation showing this isn't Small Talk Amy I said focusing on the basil just say what you need to and we can get back to our lives Amy sighed and took a sip of wine can I ask one question ask as many as you want Amy doesn't mean I'll answer but try why did you leave she asked watching for any sign of anger knowing my temper she could see I was trying to stay calm I dropped the knife and turned to her you don't need a degree to understand my motives
Amy you're a vice president now you must have some brain means figure it out Amy looked irritated that was a low blow even for you Sam I'm capable of doing my job but I'm not a mind reader I folded my arms and stared at her Amy seemed to wilt under my gaze you're right Amy you're not a mind reader and few people are but in your job you need to read people understand and guess their motives a good manager finds and utilizes their employees talents for the company's benefit it has to be a win-win situation
do you really want to know what I think of you and your talents a she shivered at my question clearly expecting an answer that wouldn't boost her confidence but she squared her shoulders okay Sam I'll bite what do you think of my corporate talents I almost laughed at her weak attempt at teasing and returned to cooking you're a bulldozer Amy you have the Finesse of a bull in a china shop her open mouth said it all bulldozer she repeated stunned care to elaborate on that I smiled inwardly as I continued chopping yes Amy bulldozer you
take the most direct path to your goal without considering the effort or analyzing the situation you don't think about who you can help or who can help you you only think about yourself charging ahead and ignoring anyone in your way that's why you're in your current unenviable position you've burned Bridges and ruined opportunities I saw a tear in her eye for the first time she seemed at a loss no I don't want to she said weakly everything I did was for us but your ego got in the way I know I hurt you and I'm
sorry if you had stayed I could have explained my plan you still haven't told me why you left I tasted the sauce and added more salt I saw the writing on the wall Amy I know you're here to cut the Deadwood you're the person sent to remove those who needed to go for the company to move forward I agree it was necessary I just made it easier for you to make those decisions I saw the anticipation in her eyes this was the convers ation she wanted Sam Beckman for a smart man you sure do some
stupid things I had no intention of firing you if you were smart you'd know that everything I did was for us to make your dreams come true that's quite a trick it tugs at my heartstrings and strokes my ego simultaneously but I never said you weren't good at stroking I remember countless times we sat in the kitchen talking about how the fools at the top were ruining the company I believed in you Sam I believed you could get the company back on its feet now I have the chance to help you turn your ideas into
reality I worked hard to give you that chance telling my bosses I could make your company profitable and what did that get me ah now it's the it's all your fault angle you've left me to my fate without hearing me out I keep fighting working long hours on what you said could be done all I need is a Little Help from the one man I've ever loved it's you Sam we can sit back and reap the rewards of our efforts I love you and this is our future I'm not naive enough to think we'll get
back together though I dream about it but I see now that we can have a good business relationship and be happy so what do you say how about we call a truce start working together and show them we're a force to be reckoned with Amy took another sip of wine and leaned back her fervor fading she had made her point and now it was up to me while she talked I finished the sauce and put water on to boil for the spaghetti the only thing I could think of were juliia Caesar's Last Words at two
brute betrayal was my first thought when I found out about her actions despite everything Amy was very attractive one thought kept me sharp encapsulating her past and present actions good Amy a good manager considers all aspects before deciding letun say I buy into your brilliant plan why do you think I can help you Amy's eyes flashed with annoyance I've told you I believe you can do it you have the credibility within the company to get the support of the employees they trust and respect you your obstacles were with upper management and my position as VP
has removed them I smiled sadly at her naivity you don't see that your very presence as VP undermines my ability to gain support but I'm not surprised you refuse to believe you've done anything wrong others see it differently Amy I saw the concern on amyk face as I continued have you ever wondered why you struggle to gain support for your ideas the rumor mill has done a thorough job informing everyone about your business practices and ethics and not a word of it came from me Amy's face froze I was treading into territory she wanted to
avoid people see you as someone who slept her way to the top leaving more deserving employees in the dust they know about our failed marriage and how I kept my dignity and their Respect by divorcing you if I accepted your offer it would signal that everything you did was acceptable I'd go from a wronged husband to a disgraced employee losing their respect and my effectiveness tears formed in amyk eyes as my words sank in her confidence was cracking I don't believe you Sam I've shown I'm willing to work hard I took a powerful position to
get the job done I'm capable or Jason wouldn't have given me the job I shook my head my anger turning to sadness Amy truly believed her own narrative perhaps out of self-preservation did Jason approach you with the Takeover offer or did you push him Amy wiped her face with a tissue from her purse and straightened up hope hopefully it doesn't matter what you or anyone else thinks I'm not Jason's puppet I approached him and he put up a lot of barriers before letting me present my proposal to the board I nodded just as I thought
did Jason entertain you when he finally let you speak to the board her sigh gave her away trying to gather her thoughts she asked why do you think that I grinned do you know why I was good at my job Amy I've always made profiles of everyone I meet including you my mistake was trusting you unconditionally because I loved you that cost me dearly so I adjusted your profile as my grandfather said there's no point in getting older if you're not getting smarter I assess people by their words and actions to see if they fit
their profile knowing Jason I doubt he cares if you succeed if you fail he'll blame the board for approving your proposal I saw a glimmer of realization in her eyes as I continued if you succeed Jason gets the credit for bringing in a promising executive if you fail he'll just point fingers at the board Jason doesn't care if you're smart enough or foolish enough to think you can pull this off as long as you keep him entertained he'll be satisfied you're on your own Amy a small fish in a big pond full of hungry piranhas
Amy clutched the napkin tightly everything I'd said was true and she seemed frightened by the reality of her situation but she still tried to deny it so you don't think I can do it I Shrugged no Amy I know you can't I saw anger build in Amy but continued it would take a huge Saturn 5 rocket to launch you from your VP position into corporate Oblivion where will your precious security be then Amy I turned away to calm myself from what I hear you've only managed to spin your wheels and create so much smoke that
everyone else struggles to do their jobs I'll be surprised if the next shareholders meeting doesn't announce a 25% drop in profits but that's just speculation no matter how you spin it it all comes down to your reasons for starting this you said you loved me and did it for both of us Amy shuttered but nodded but really it's all about your safety not ours if you loved me you would have tried to stop me from working myself to pass away you called me a heart attack waiting to happen I paused then continued you didn't try
to stop me or if you did it wasn't convincing you just waited for me to drop dead you could have threatened divorce to make me think about us your infidelity made me realize things that's why I'm here now and feeling great I love you Sam I didn't want to divorce you you didn't want to divorce me but you were willing to let me work myself to pass away does that sound loving I finished sarcastically Amy couldn't refute my arguments and couldn't bear to look at me I didn't mean what I said then and I love
you even now I regret a lot of what I said Amy pleaded my Grim face must have shown doubt I'm sure you believe what you're saying Amy but that doesn't change our situation don't you realize I can't trust you now either personally or in business I've decided to end this discussion you made it to the top now you'll have to wait for Jason to retire or disappear before you can aim for CEO you've decided this is a good time to solidify your position and go for that coveted role Amy tried to object but I stopped
her your plan is clear take over my old firm and get me to work hard again to benefit you I'm amazed you expected me to follow your orders when I kicked you out I thought it was clear I wasn't weak maybe it was my fault for setting you up to fail I saw Amy struggling to hold it together one moment I blamed you the next I was taking responsibility you're talking nonsense Sam I think you're the one with it backward she countered I hung my head inside in despair good Amy you've heard being cruel to
be kind I wasn't being kind I led you on and then had to cut you down harshly instead I went to Jason and made him fulfill his promise to make you a GP I didn't want to see you left to suffer even though you deserved it I made a mistake by making you think there was a chance I'd take you back your love cards on my birthday Christmas and other occasions proved that I checked the sauce and added water to the nearly dry pot if I did what I should have you'd have disappeared to some
unknown place to start over that's what I want you to do now walk away and start over tears stream down her face you might have to go back to a secretarial job but it won't be as bad as staying and fighting you'll be lucky if you're allowed to lick stamps while some post office idiot entertains you I watched as my words sank in her Defiance not humility made me sad I know I hurt you Sam I berate myself every day for it but what you said is just evil you don't believe in me yet I
believe in you well if that's how you feel watch and I'll show you how it's done at that moment there was a knock at the door come in I said irritably is everything okay Sam I'm sorry if I'm interrupting viven asked I sighed realizing I'd lost my temper and checked my watch I'm sorry Vivien please don't come in Amy was just leaving I glared at Amy waiting for her to get up Amy looked at viven standing in the doorway she was younger Maybe by 5 or 10 years and very pretty with long flowing dark blonde
hair Amy's face showed her realization of why Vivien was here she turned to me saw the food simmering on the stove and began to cry as she understood the situation I glanced at the dinner I was making for Vivien and me recognizing what Amy was thinking what you thought this was for you I told you this wasn't a social event don't be upset that I invited a friend to dinner we broke up years ago the only reason I let you come here was to knock some sense into you Amy stood up head down and rushed
past viven muttering tell Megan I'll be waiting in the car I hope I didn't make things worse Vivien said watching Amy leave I can go if you need to deal with this can I tell Jillian I don't need her as a babysitter it's not your fault I'm glad you showed up when you did I hugged viven and kissed her cheek you can watch the pasta for a minute I need to tell Megan our meeting is over and she can take Amy home I stepped out onto the back Terrace and saw Megan napping in the afternoon
sun Amy's words echoed in my mind now that she was vice president she had removed all the obstacles blocking my ideas and it got me thinking how do you like The View I asked it's just like you said Sam amazing Megan smiled closing her eyes how did it go in there I didn't hear any fire shots not well she's not backing down she's in the car waiting for you can I ask you something sure Sam you can ask me anything I smiled weakly how do you see your future at work how ambitious are you Megan
her eyes widened at the unusual question I'm not sure what you're getting at Sam but if it's what I think I'd like to get Amy's job first she stood up I know I can do it well but I won't compromise my values why do you ask I think it's time to end this circus I said determinedly can you contact Kevin Paxton and meet me in town in 3 weeks I might have an offer for both of you Megan nodded I led Megan back inside where she saw Vivien at the stove she poked me in the
ribs Whispering now I see why Amy ran off you old dog Megan's look made me smirk she's gorgeous and probably the final nail in Amy's coffin Amy is out of her League never was in her League I'm not even in her League she's her wounded Pride right now I nodded appreciating vivien's Beauty and she's just as lovely on the inside Vivien looked up as I introduced Megan nice to meet you Sam has so many women in his life I'm not sure he has room for me she said hesitantly Megan chuckled don't worry about the other
women you see Sam with he's a one-woman man sweetheart and from what I can tell he's got his eye on you watch out though Sam can be a real charmer when he's interested I wasn't sure what Megan meant as we hadn't been in Social situations together I felt my face readen I think you've said enough for one night Megan it's time to leave as I nudged her toward the front door she looked back with a final comment if you're smart Vivien you won't let this guy slip away she kissed me on the cheek and said
goodbye be smart I'll see you in 3 weeks Vivien and I sat on the back deck sipping Mero and watching the water foul we chatted casually about the day and I told viven the details of my failed marriage to Amy and its aftermath you don't want to do this do you Sam viven observed no I don't I admitted but it has to be done I can't let everyone lose their jobs because I took the easy way out I have no choice after a pause viven said you know Amy still has feelings for you I almost
laughed I knew that before but I don't think so now not after what I said to her today I was harsh but it didn't seem to matter Vivien smiled for all your toughness it's clear you care about others Sam including Amy we women appreciate that quality in our men I had no response so I went back to my beer Vivien patted my arm reassuringly I believe you'll do the right thing for everyone I nodded with a grim feeling but I'm afraid not everyone will agree you didn't make her bed Sam she did and now she
has to lie in it Vivien said breaking the silence after a couple of minutes I was lost in my thoughts when she caught me off guard speaking of beds when are you going to show me yours her statement came out of nowhere and surprised me huh Vivian chuckled Megan told me that if I wanted you I shouldn't hesitate she said if you're smart Vivien you won't let this guy out of your grasp so here I am holding on to someone I think is worth it so you're interested in more than just a platonic relationship I
sounded like a nervous teenager testing the waters my poor track record with women making it hard to look her in the eye Vivien giggled you're blushing Sam my ears burned and a sheepish grin spread across my face you sure know how to make a guy feel awkward I rubbed my face to regain my composure that day I walked into your store saw you looking shattered and offered my help I felt like a knight in shining armor rescuing a damsel in distress her smile was priceless you were my night on his trusty Steed that day and
you still are Vivien said kissing my cheek affectionately since that day I've depended on you now I understand why you've supported me all these months she paused seeing my confusion it must have been hard when Amy showed you weren't needed well if it helps I need you Sam I haven't felt this comfortable and relaxed since Greg died yes it's a man thing Amy didn't understand it and I couldn't explain it either Vivien patted my arm reassuringly you've been good to me Sam and I appreciate it it wasn't until Megan's Antics that I realized I had
more than friendly feelings for you so do you want to take it to the next level Vivian's face showed sincerity and hope well Madam if you insist I shall have to show you my etchings I said with a Sly grin vivien's face lit up forget the etchings I'm more interested in the tool you use to make them we both laughed as she stood up and headed for the door saying race you to the bedroom later I saw Kevin and Megan watching me walk into the restaurant my mood must have been obvious Kevin stood up and
offered his hand long time no see old friend it's great to see you after all these years years you look 10 years younger I smiled shaking Kevin's hand it's good to see you too I'm doing great how's life ooh average to average can't complain because no one ever listens Kevin said I smiled and kissed Megan on the cheek you look as radiant as ever I don't know what you saw in this brute but I hope he treated you well Megan chuckled he may be rough but I like the rugged type how do you know Kevin
asked I smiled because I'm a people Watcher I saw your reaction when I asked Kevin to be here today I think you two would make a formidable team Kevin grinned speaking of which what's the offer I chuckled straight to business Kevin you'll never change okay letun talk business then we can relax and enjoy the food as the waitress served our drinks I began the company is in serious trouble if nothing is done soon everyone will be looking for new jobs as you know options are limited I pulled several folders from my briefcase and handed a
white one to Kevin feel free to disagree or add anything while Kevin studied the folder I opened another here's a list of people you need to get on your side I'll leave it to you to figure out how Kevin flipped through the folder it's clear you've thought this through not only are you targeting JPL and Amy but also Dobson Inc and Jason I saw Kevin's expression and knew what he was thinking we don't have a choice Kevin since Dobson bought out JPL we need to attack from both sides my original Focus was on JPL but
now we must Target Dobson's board too if you can get the board on your side and Megan handles JPL we have a chance I'll be it a small one Kevin handed the folder to Megan you're right Sam's situation is more than dire it's anorexic but I see potential it wouldn't hurt to involve Jack Deacon HEK a master at accounting I nodded grimly Jack is a genius with numbers but we didn't get along he never liked me Megan nodded while looking through the folder I agree with Kevin Jack should be involved for his Creative Accounting skills
I'll talk to him first Kevin picked up the second folder and examined the list of names I'm not sure I can meet some of these people let alone bring them on board I smirked at Kevin's doubt what do you think I've been doing for the last 3 weeks there's one name Slovak that I couldn't get close to if he's not on board none of this will work how did you become so influential influential my back if I were that good Slovak would be on our side I handed Kevin another folder this is a list of
meetings you have scheduled with everyone except Slovak Megan looked up from the folder isn't Slovak Jerry cambridge's Uncle maybe Jerry can arrange a meeting with him Kevin and I exchanged glances and Shrugged Kevin asked can you figure this out Megan Megan smiled I have a meeting with Jerry tomorrow about the trip plans I'll ask him then this made me feel a bit better I've organized the times and dates for you things are getting messy even in the higher levels of government I outlin my conc concerns but didn't have a solid plan yet we need to
finalize the details and get everyone together to complete the final version Megan shook her head I can't believe Jason didn't see this coming oh he knows I scoffed he just doesn't care he has a scapegoat and Amy's in for a nasty surprise when he betrays her Megan wrinkled her nose sympathetically Amy may be selfish but she doesn't deserve that I nodded Jason will need to act before the next quarterly meeting to stay clean we must act quickly and precisely if we impress the big shots we'll succeed Kevin shook his head you think we're going to
accept your offer I smiled come on Kevin think about it what do you have to lose if Amy could pitch her ideas you can do it too you haven't found a job that matches your skills have you I know you have issues with Amy and Jason isn't on your Christmas list either I nodded to Megan she believes in you as much as I do you'll run with it I've done all I can now now you just need to bring home the bacon Kevin laughed along with Megan all tied up with a neat pink ribbon he
said sarcastically Megan frowned what about Jason he won't give up without a fight and he has the support to sabotage us before we even start she said looking through the second folder I grinned leave Jason to me you won't have to deal with him just keep Amy busy so she doesn't do something stupid like commit professional self-destruction while taking everyone else down Megan smirked after your Sation the other day she's our least worry Vivian's presence rattled her and now she's determined to prove you wrong you really messed with her head Sam I've had to tweak
a lot of her proposals just to make her look somewhat competent Kevin Megan and I enjoyed our meal while discussing our plans as we said our goodbyes we arranged to meet again in two days with others to finalize our strategy the meeting was heated Megan and Kevin had brought in a half dozen allies to help Jack Deacon was one of them and as I predicted he was hostile but listened let me see the financial packet he demanded we watched as he quickly reviewed the numbers this is nonsense Beckman you can't substantiate these numbers I wanted
to snap at him but managed to stay calm they're just estimates projected approximations Deacon smiled sarcastically don't quit your day job Beckman these numbers are as unreliable as weather forecasts it's time to show the money I knew I had to handle him carefully listen Deacon can I call you jack I know we haven't seen each other since Amy took over but you're here because you're the best at what you do I could see his chest heaving sensing I was on the right track Jack grinned I may seem like a mere laborer to you but I'm
not so socially inferior that I don't recognize being patronized I gritted my teeth in annoyance I know that sounded patronizing but it doesn't make my words any less true I addressed everyone in the room what will you do when the next shareholders meeting rolls around I don't care if you agree with this proposal or not I can leave and return to my life letting you figure out how to get in line for unemployment Jack you're a genius with numbers and can get a job quickly but what about them we need you to get creative and
make those projections work I saw the gears turning in his mind so this isn't some scam to move your wife up the corporate ladder I shook my head sadly no Jack she's my ex-wife she'll be lucky to shuffle papers in a dark windowless room if we pull this off I regret not burning that bridge when I divorced her I'm here to fix that mistake whether this takeover works or not both she and Jason will be history I guarantee it Jack looked around the room and then back at the folder you know Sam I've been doing
so much with so little for so long now I have the chance to do everything with nothing he grinned widely what's the deadline for this miracle I looked at Kevin I need it by 3 p.m. tomorrow he replied cautiously holy crap Jack exclaimed eyes wide I'm fine Kevin but even God would struggle to sort this out by then we all exchanged glances and I started to worry that my plan might fail then Jack said something surprising if I pull this off I want a sign on my desk that says God he joked after a moment
Kevin grinned I'll personally engrave it and everyone will kneel and pay their respects if you bring me those numbers by 300 p.m. tomorrow we all sighed in relief okay folks we're burning the midnight oil call whoever you need to and get to work Megan asked if she could invite some of the girls from the typing group to help it's your choice Megan show us what you can do I'm here to help with any questions but it's up to you now I said handing control to her oh my God she exclaimed glaring at Kevin Sam's right
honey pull yourself together and show everyone they can rely on you in a crisis Kevin and I stepped back as Megan took a deep breath and got to work within an hour she was organizing groups and brainstorming ideas Jack argued with her until she snapped I don't care how many people you need to bring in to meet the deadline Jack you know what we're up against so just do it Okay Kevin chuckled I think you were right Sam she is a hard worker I smiled at Kevin's pride in her I lightly slapped his arm I
never doubted it Kevin I tapped my temple in agreement and went to help I walked into Jason's office past his shocked secretary I'm sorry sir but you can't go in there Jason waved her away in disgust it's okay Lynn what's this Beckman Invasion about clearly Jason was upset to see me that's no way to start a negotiation Jason I'd think a man of your business Acumen would know when to be a bit more contrite I wore a menacing smile Jason sat back waiting I knew in a battle of wills the first to speak loses Jason
sweating finally interrupted are you just going to stand there or are you going to tell me why you're here I have a shareholders meeting in an hour I'm here to help you pack idiot I informed him and where am I supposed to go Jason clearly didn't like how this was going I don't care where you go as long as you're out of here by the end of the day I said with a grin but I'd suggest moving to another state maybe even the other side of the country what if I refuse to leave I'm close
to retirement and not giving up my lucrative package for someone like you I shook my head you have two choices resign now and walk away with what you have or stay and watch me dismantle your life including your family you'll be lucky to afford a cup of coffee Jason frowned I did what you wanted I made Amy vice president and she Now controls JPL why the threats we've never met but I thought you kept your word what changed your mind are you coming after me because of the past I leaned forward placing both hands on
his desk our faces inches apart you changed my mind I was holding up my end until you broke it now you pay you screwed Amy over and let her present a doomed proposal to the board you saw a chance to kill two birds with one Stone knowing she'd turn to me for help and you knew I wouldn't you broke our agreement and now I demand payment sweat trickled down Jason's face as he listened realizing everything I said was true I didn't break our deal Beckman she came to me I only gave her a chance to
prove herself if she's in this position it's her fault don't crap me you lowlife I said sweeping items off his desk in Anger you could have stopped her even a fifth grader could see she had no chance without your help it was your choice and you made the wrong one now fix it resign or watch your life get destroyed Jason's face showed a range of emotions and I enjoyed watching him struggle I doubt you have enough on me to follow through on your threats he said I smiled watching him mentally hit dead ends do you
think I've been idle I have dirt on your Affairs corporate fraud embezzlement and more your choice jail or retirement I saw realization Dawn in his eyes as he understood his only option was to leave Kevin Paxton is talking to your board right now with a plan that will ruin you when I leave here I'm handing everything I have to them that broke Jason he pressed the intercom Lyn come in with a pad and pencil I need to dictate a letter I walked to his wine cabinet and poured a scotch no need to hurry Jason you
win I'll be gone by the end of the day as I sipped my drink his secretary entered and sat to take dictation no problem Jason I'll make sure to send your email Lynette sensed the tension as she waited for Jason to start dictating by the time he finished she could barely contain her laughter and quickly left the office seeing her reaction I knew Jason wouldn't have time to gather his belongings before leaving as he exited his office for the last time I called out I hear the weather is nice at the South Pole this time
of year I won't be looking for you there have a good day Jason Lynette returned a few minutes later and hugged me thank you Mr Beckman thank you so much I pulled back confused why are you thanking me tears wed up in lynnette's eyes Jason tried to Black mail me he's been making advances just hints so far but I think he planned to push harder if I didn't comply I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you've done I was Furious that Jason had behaved this way I knew Amy had served her time and
now Jason was targeting Lynette I decided his fate was sealed and his marriage was likely in Jeopardy if all goes well he will just ask you to do your job well he's a fair and honest man who values employee loyalty Lynette kissed me on the cheek you're on my Christmas list now and I'll try to talk my husband into naming our next son after you she grinned thanks again for your help she handed me the envelope typing this letter was the most fun I've ever had 6 months later I walked into the same office Jason
had left good morning Lynn is the boss in good morning Mr Beckman yes Mr Paxton is expecting you as I reached for the door she added Mr Beckman you were right he's everything a secretary could want in a boss thanks again I grinned as I opened the door my pleasure Lynn and call me Sam Mr Beckman was my father Lynette chuckled and waved I asked sinking into a chair how does it feel to be CEO of one of the most profitable companies in the stock market Sam you old idiot where have you been how are
you I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you've done for everyone especially Megan and me she still pinches herself every morning to make sure it's not a dream I raised an eyebrow oh really how do you know that are you waking up next to her is a mini merger plan I joked Kevin Shrugged we're in the negotiation stage but a deal is likely soon Megan would love to have you at the signing and I hear you have a little Philly you're nursing too I laughed exactly you had a business to save I had
one to build Vivian is a fine Thoroughbred if I get the chance I'll hitch my wagon to her as our banter subsided Kevin asked more seriously have you heard about Amy I grew solemn yes Megan called when she was taken to the hospital the stress was too much and she snapped Megan asked if I would visit her but I thought it would only make things worse until she gets professional help Kevin nodded yeah you're probably right Megan feels a bit sorry for her she might offer Amy an entry-level position at JPL maybe as a secretary
I hope that doesn't offend you I shook my head no I don't hate her I don't even like her anymore she's just someone I once knew I hope she gets better and moves on Kevin and leaned back so no desire to come back I could find you a good job with a great financial package I grinned not a chance besides you don't need me from what I hear you've got God working for you now Kevin burst into laughter Oh yeah I almost forgot about Jack he got his plaque and earned everyone's respect you were right
he's a math genius for a while he was a hot shot I'd walk into board meetings an hour before the shareholders meeting with his financial report in hand Kevin giggled what so funny I asked I was just thinking about how Jack looked when the girls would sneak up on him we'll see how socially awkward he is when he tries to figure out women with math formulas if he succeeds I'll believe he's a God I laughed I would have loved to see that and attend the board meeting but I had other business while you were grooming
board members poor Jason was sweating at the table you now occupy Kevin smiled if you ever need a job let me know I shook my head I have what I want now Vivien and I have opened our family resort I'm here to offer you corporate rates for Thanksgiving weekend you could have contests and promote team building Kevin nodded I think we can agree maybe a fishing contest or two will Foster camaraderie Vivien and I were invited to Kevin and Megan's wedding and now they have two wonderful boys they are still a formidable team in the
business world at Christmas we get cards from Lynn and her family she even talked her husband into naming their next child after me her name is Samantha short for Sam Jason hasn't been heard from since his wife dumped his clothes on the lawn and turned on the sprinklers his Elvis autographed guitar became a necklace for his favorite garden gnome after Nancy dropped it on his head I assume he's hunting penguins in Antarctica to keep warm but that's just a rumor and Amy after getting the help she needed to recover from what Jason did to her
she accepted Megan's offer for an entry-level secretary job she sold her luxurious mansion and bought a modest apartment within walking distance of work she'll never be part of the elite business environment again but she has her own home and will work until retirement I talked to her at the corporate Thanksgiving party at the lake she was hesitant to come until Megan convinced her to unwind we chatted and she apologized for her arrogance admitting she was out of line I also apologized for jeopardizing her safety but it was necessary to save everyone else's jobs after therapy
she realized how flawed her thinking had been she even laughed when I told her about Jason's downfall she had a relaxing weekend mostly sunbathing with co-workers I don't know much about her social life but Megan mentioned she occasionally dates but rarely stays in a relationship for long honestly I don't have time to think about it it's her life and she has to live with it 6 months later Vivan and I got married and moved her and Bessie into my Cottage I watched as she took out a picture of her late husband Greg from her suitcase
kissed it and placed it in a drawer touched I walked over pulled out a picture of glory and placed it on her Dressing Table Greg deserves to see his wife happy well-groomed and loved don't you think Vivien smiled tearfully and hugged me you're a good man Samuel I think Greg and you would have been great friends my guardian angel has been looking out for me and now I have two soulmates I felt Splendid better than I had in years when Bessie is old enough you'll have to tell her all about her father they both deserve
that our Fishing Resort is growing steadily Jillian now has an apartment attached to the store so we always know where to find her we've haded more cabins with docks for weekend fishing enthusiasts I spend most days in my workshop doing boat repairs and general maintenance Vivien runs the store and Bessie now five is always underfoot I've become a father figure to her the only one she's ever known last summer we surprised her with a little brother Brady who has temporarily relieved her of some of our attention I fuss over both of them and even my
doctor is pleased maybe I should send Amy a thank you card just kidding [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
