There is no one under 18 in any sexual situations in this chapter.
Rob and Arlene were whisked back into Vivian's life by the Bell 525 helicopter that was part of Rob's private fleet of transport aircraft. The couple had warned Vivian about five minutes before touchdown of their arrival. Because the cabin was a summer residence there was relatively little luggage to deal with.
"Robbie!! Mom!" Vivian screamed as the well tanned couple departed from the helicopter. Vivian launched herself at the object of her long standing love. She was so emotional that she was in tears as she embraced her man. Arlene stood nearby as the couple reunited. Vivian noted that her mother looked tanned but tired and very thin.
Through the noise of the departing helicopter Rob heard Vivian say, "God I missed you baby."
"I missed you too Viv. So are you finished with school now? Is my girl ready for the cold cruel business world?"
"Yes and I have so much to tell you. Let's get into the house so I can tell you everything." Vivian turned to her mother and gave her a long hug. "Thank you mommy for bringing my Robbie back to me safely." Arlene only gave her daughter a thin smile, a quick embrace and a pat on the back as a greeting.
After getting settled in their summer cabin, Arlene announced that she was in need of some sleep to ward off the jet lag from their trip. She was going to take a sleeping pill and see everyone for breakfast. While she retired to Rob's master suite Rob and Vivian had business to discuss so they went into his office.
Vivian spoke first. "Robbie, my mom looks so thin. Is everything ok with you two?"
"I'm worried about her. She has been steadily losing weight for a year. I have been trying to get her to a doctor but she is being stubborn. I was hoping that with both of us pushing her we could get her to see someone. She is almost 45 so it could be just menopause but she needs a doctor visit to be sure of anything. Now tell me how the business is coming along." Vivian told Rob everything she could about her little business startup. Including her new HR hire.
"Robbie, he has taken over the hiring and set up all of our office computers. He even set up an informational website for us. We should be able to start shipping our product soon because he has finished staffing a shift and is well on his way to staffing another.He hit the floor running once I showed him what I wanted. Honestly I don't know what I would do without him now," Vivian finished.
"When do I get to meet this young man Viv?"
"Soon Robbie. Um, he is staying here until I find a suitable home for him to rent. Is that ok with you baby?" Vivian asked her mentor.
"Is there anything going on between you two Viv?"
"No nothing like that. In fact before we spent our first night here together I made sure that he got a good look at my Glock. Since then he has been the perfect gentleman. Wait until you meet him Robbie. He is so nice, polite and very handsome."
At that moment Ted arrived from work. Vivian called her new employee over to meet her Robbie.
"Robbie, I want you to meet Ted Smyth. He is my new HR director and whatever else I need him for. Ted, this is Robbie. The man that saved me and my mom."
The two men eyed each other briefly as they shook hands. Rob saw an honest hard working man that still had his pride. Ted saw a man that had once conquered the business world and now owned the heart of the woman of his fantasies.
"Rob, it's good to know you, Sir."
