During the time between the confrontation with Richard and RJ's graduation. Sarah realized she was manipulated by Richard. He gradually subjugated her: when they were first married, she worked as an accountant, the work she loved. He talked her into doing the accounting for Greene Reality and then becoming a realtor. After Sarah became pregnant, Rick became more dominate, was jealous of his son, less concerned about her happiness, more concerned about himself she paid more attention to their child than him. She accepted this because of her child.
The most turbulent time in their marriage came after Richard purchased the blighted neighborhood in Albany, the more money he lost, the more he took his frustration out on his family. Richard started drinking more. Meanwhile Sarah took more of the responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the business along with caregiver for her son. Only after she re-connected with Mark Sarah realized what a rut she was in and was thankful to Mark to come to her aid.
The Prom was over, RJ Graduated from High School with honors, but he was looking for a job for the summer. He will be going to NYU in Albany this fall in the Graphic Arts program. Sarah's divorce is in the works. The blighted property in Albany is in the final stages of purchase. Ted Farmer and Sarah came to an agreement to transfer the accounting business to her. She will be able to do most of the work for her clients remotely.
Sarah and RJ Arrived at the Lakefront condo the middle of May. They were escorted to LG (Lake George) by the Security detail Mark had for Sarah and her son, with Jack as their primary contact. Mark was on a three-week business trip which started the day before Sarah arrived.
I have mentioned Sandra Less a few times, so I want to give you a synopsis of her duties for Scott Consultants. She is the administrative assistant to Mark. His girl Friday, but they have not been intimately involved because she is married, and you know how Mark reacts to married women. I will go one step further. Sandra is married to Arthur Less. You guessed it! His card reads 'The Art of Special Services'.
In case you're interested. Art Less was a Marine. He spent many years in Marine Recon. They are more badass, than the Seals and their operations are less publicized by design. As you can see Mark surrounds himself with people who can help him when needed. He also pays on time and well for their services. Art has been shadowing Richard Greene per Mark's orders and not to secretively either. Which has made Richard eager to settle all issues Mark has asked of him.
The property Mark owns, on the lake are actually three condos, with three units in each building. Each is a three-bedroom unit. This season he only rented one building. He figures he needs two building for his, Sarah's, and RJ's guests. The three new buildings are on one property in Bolton Landing Close to the Sagamore Hotel. There is a large stately single-family structure near the road, the first floor is configured into two office units with a reception area, it has three bedrooms with an in-suite bath in each, on the second floor. A Living/dining room with a large kitchen occupies the area behind the first-floor offices. Mark has all the water toys one would find on a property as this.
The day after Sarah and RJ arrived Sandra came to visit them. "RJ, Mark wants you to take a power squadron course before you get the keys to any of the watercraft. That will be needed if want to work in LG during the summer. Sarah, Mark has two offices in the single family building you can use one of them for your accounting business if you like."
"Why thank you Sandra it is very kind of Mark to offer. By the way what will it cost a month to stay here?"
"You have to talk to Mark about that." Sandra said with a wink.
"Sandra, I am going to have a job here this summer?" RJ asked excited.
"Yes, Mark, has something for you. He will explain when he gets back here in a few weeks until then relax and enjoy." Sandra stated as she handed Sarah her monthly check. She left the condo to go back home to Poughkeepsie where Mark's home office is.
"Mom, can I have some of my friends come here to stay for the summer?"
"I don't know I will have to ask Mark."
Jack and his family have one of the condo's. Jack stays here all week as Sarah's security, but his wife goes back to Kingston to work during the week. Sarah enjoys cooking for the group. Everyone helps with the cleanup. So far, the summer has been fun for everyone.
RJ will be entering college in the fall. He is an aspiring Artist, so he needs to put together a portfolio of his artistic works before he starts classes in the fall to secure a place in one of the more popular art classes. He has the ten sketches each of birds, vehicles, landscapes he is working on the ten portraits. RJ has been trying to find a lady for the ten figures studies with little success so far. He will need the portfolio complete by September first.
Sarah and RJ had a great time together the weeks they have been in LG. Jack brought them out on the boat. RJ went to the safety classes and received his certificate. Jack under orders from Mark instructed RJ how to operate all the watercrafts safely.
Throughout his absence Mark communicated with Sarah daily. It was a jubilant reunion for Sarah and Mark after his three-week hiatus. He was pleasantly surprised to meet RJ and they bonded almost immediately.
Sarah was glad of that! This was her main concern with her relationship with Mark. How her son and Mark would interact.
Mark, and Sarah along with RJ, discussed the arrangements at LG (Lake George).
"I can pay you for the condo Mark. How much do you want per month?"
"I need an accountant, as the current one is moving out of the area with her husband. If you consent to do my books that should be sufficient payment for each month's rent."
"Okay, I like that Idea. Thank you, Mark." Sarah asked before RJ Could." Do you have a job for RJ for the summer also?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact I know of one, but actually the property manager is looking for eight young men for the summer. RJ you can work for him if you want, if you know any of your friends who are looking for work, they can stay here and work until college starts. I think he is paying twenty dollars an hour. Room and board included for the summer. We also need pilots for the watercraft, that could be part of your duties also."
"I will call my friends and see how many want to work here for the summer." RJ Stated excitedly.
"There is only one rule I have. Anyone old enough to drink will not do so and drive any vehicle including any of our equipment. If I find there are wild parties everyone will be fired. I will tell Jack to keep an eye on all of you. If that is acceptable to you, we will have a great time here this summer." Mark said with a smile.
Sarah admired how Mark explained to her son what was expected from everyone who will work in LG for the summer.
Within a week there were RJ and eight of his friends being trained to work in LG for the summer. Sarah was proud of her son. For his part RJ knew there was something going on between his mother and Mark the way they look at each other. When the young men were not working, they had a constant flow of young ladies coming to their condo.
It was a platonic relationship with Sarah for the first month she was in LG. Mark wanted to let her decide what she wanted to do. He always loved Sarah and wanted to make sure this time it will work for them. He has grown up; he knew he fucked up royally and doesn't want that to happen again.
Meanwhile, Mark made some calls to pull in favors so Sarah's divorce could be finalized quickly. By the end of June, she received a non-contested divorce from Richard. He was glad that was over, so hopefully he wouldn't run into Art anymore in Lake Placid.
With the divorce decree the relationship between Sarah and Mark blossomed from Platonic to romantic. It was time to tell RJ, about Mark.
It was the day after Sarah received her divorce decree that Mark, RJ, and Sarah sat down to discuss the future.
"RJ, you know I was married before don't you."
"Yes mom, I know but you or dad never said anything about the guy you were married to. The only thing I know about him that he cheated on you.
