"Yes, information. I would like the number for the New York City Museum of Natural History. (I don't know if that's where Ross works.) Thank-you." Morgan sighed slightly as she waited for the number. Morgan hung up the phone after she got the number. Now all she had to do was figure out a plan.
*****************************************************************
Monday morning Ross walks into the museum.
"Mr. Geller?" One of the tour guides asked Ross.
"Yes Cindy?"
" Mr. Lucas would like to see you in his office."
"Oh, ok thanks Cindy." Ross said politely as he turned towards his boss's office instead of his own. Ross knocked on the door tentatively.
"Yes?" came a big burly voice from behind the door.
"Mr. Lucas. This is Ross Geller, may I come in?"
"Why, of coarse Geller." Ross walked into the beautiful decorated office. Even though the office was quite welcoming Ross was always nervous whenever he walked in. *Maybe its that big moose that hangs over the desk… That thing gives me the creeps. And here I'm a paleontologist, I work with dead animals every day* Ross thought. snapping out of it when he faced his boss.
" I was told you wanted to see me." Ross said nervously as sat down on the hard wooden chair. He was nervous that he would get fired.
"Geller, I would like you to meet your new secretary." Mr. Lucas said with his booming voice as the door opened. Ross looked towards the door VERY surprised as to who he saw. His mouth was agape as Mr. Lucas stared at him. "Geller, this is Ms. Cole."
"Uhh.. yea.. Ok.. hi Ms. Cole." Ross said still very nervous. Morgan slithered into the room like a snake ready to pounce on her next victim… that victim being Ross.
"Hello Mr. Geller. Very glad to meet you." Morgan said in a cool sexy voice. Ross shifted uncomfortably in his chair knowing how much damage she could do, especially if Rachel found out that she was his secretary.
Uh.. yea good to meet you too." Ross shakily stood up and offered his hand towards Morgan. Morgan gladly took this invitation.
"Mr. Lucas, I'm sure that this arrangement will be just fine." Morgan said flashing her big brown eyes at Ross. Ross turned away quickly.
"Ms. Cole do you think that I could talk to Mr. Lucas alone for a minute? PLEASE?"
"Of coarse Mr. Geller I'll see you later in our office." Morgan said over her shoulder as she walked out of the spacious office.
"Uhh.. Mr. Lucas, do you think that I ABSOLUTELY NEED a secretary??" Ross asked clearing his throat.
"Geller, you have worked at this company for a LONG time, and you have done a GREAT job, I just think that you need a little break. I think that this will be good for both of you. She would be kind of interesting don't you think? You have admit that Ms. Cole is a ver attractive woman, and she seems to like you." Mr. Lucas said, insinuating a little with his eyebrow.
" This would help BOTH of us? The only thing that, that would help me with would be BREAKING UP MY OWN MARRIAGE!! Which I do NOT want to do. Mr. Lucas, I am MARRIED!! M-A-R-R-I-E-D!! I have two beautiful daughters and another child on the way. What makes you think that I would EVER cheat on a wife that I LOVE soo much it hurts?" Ross said getting angrier by the minute, and NOT liking where the conversation was heading.
"Mr. Geller, I am a married man myself, but don't you ever get just a little sick of doing the same woman night after night?"
"NO!! Mr. Lucas, I am NOT enjoying this conversation one bit. As of right now, you have officially lost my respect for you. Rachel and I love each other very much and I vowed that I would stand by her in sickness and in health, richer or poorer for the rest of my life. Now, I am not very happy with this current situation, but I am willing to deal with it. Thank-you Mr. Lucas, I am sorry if I have offended you in any way, and just to let you know, I will never look at you the same way again. I cannot hold any respect for a man who would willingly cheat on his wife. Are you ok with what I have just said?" Ross said cooling down a bit. Mr. Lucas nodded stunned by Ross's sudden outburst.
"Now, Mr. Lucas if its alright with you I would like to take the day off." Ross asked, trying to be polite once again.
"Ok, Geller take all time you need, I'm sorry if I offended YOU in any way. I apologize." Mr. Lucas said a little embarrassed. He always wanted everything to appear under control, but sometimes it just doesn't always work that way.
" Thank-you, and please tell Ms. Cole that I am sorry and that I will see her tomorrow." Ross said as he slipped out of the room.
*****************************************************************
Ross walked out of Mr. Lucas's full of mixed emotions. He wasn't sure if he made the right decision, talking the way he did. He felt bad leaving like that, but he felt that he had done what he had to do. Ross knew that he had meant every word that he had said and so he didn't feel THAT guilty. Ross decided that he would just hail a cab and head on home to Rachel.
*****************************************************************
Rachel was making lunch for her and Lizzy when she heard Ross come in the front door. Rachel glanced at the clock. 11:30…. Rachel was a little surprised to see him home, but very gladly surprised as he walked in and wrapped his arms around her bulging waist.
"Hey sweetie." Ross said as he turned Rachel around kissing her passionately on the lips.
"hmmm… hey honey. Why are you home so early?" Rachel asked curiously.
"Hon, it doesn't matter right now ok?" Ross said changing the subject. He kissed Rachel on the forehead and walked over to Lizzy where she was playing. Ross picked her up and swung her around.
"How's my little munchkin today?" Ross asked his tiny daughter as he started tickling her.
"Dada stop!!!" Lizzy cried at the top of her lungs as she squirmed on the floor trying to get out of her father's reach. Rachel watched from the doorway. She always enjoyed watching Ross interact with the girls, it warmed her heart to see how close they were. Ross stopped tickling Lizzy and got up off the floor.
"Lizzy, sweetie, lets go wash our hands for lunch ok?" Ross said to Lizzy. Lizzy nodded solemnly she hated to wash her hands. Ross picked her up and swung her over his shoulder. Rachel placed her hand on her abdomen she hoped that this one would be as great as the other two.
*****************************************************************
Later that night after they had put the girls down for bed Rachel decided to broach the subject as to why he had been home so early.
"Sweetie?" Rachel said staring at Ross who was reading the newspaper.
"Yea?" Ross sighed, he had a feeling he knew what was coming.
"Ross, if something bad had happened, like you lost your job for example, not that you would, but if it did you would tell me, right?"
"Rachel, every things fine, I did not lose my job. Mr. Lucas just thought that I needed to spend more time with you and the girls, that's all." Ross lied. He hated lying to Rachel like that, but he thought that it would be best to shield her. Ross knew that if Rachel found out who he was working with she would get incredibly jealous, and he didn't want that.
"Are you sure? Cause if anything is wrong, I want you to tell me about it, I'll be there for you no matter what." Rachel knew that there was something wrong. Mr. Lucas would never just 'send' Ross home. But Rachel decided to just let the matter drop, if anything really was wrong he would tell her, she hoped.
