Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 92538" data-attributes="member: 57167">JR was sitting in his office at Ewing Oil working on his computer when his secretary Sly buzzed him, “JR, Mr. and Mrs. Stone are here to see you.”“Marilee’s here?”“No it’s Bruce and Heather Stone,” Sly informed him.JR sighed, as he didn’t particularly like Marilee’s relatives. Yet they had spiked his curiosity so he agreed to see them, “Send them in.”“Okay,” Sly said and a moment later the door opened and Bruce and Heather Stone walked into his office.JR faked a smile as he greeted the young couple, “Heather lovely to see you again,” JR said to the young woman before he nodded half heartedly at the younger man. “Bruce. Can I get you both a drink?”“No thanks, I’m afraid this is not a social call,” Heather said, as they sat down.“But you might need one,” Bruce said smugly and Heather threw him an annoyed glance.“I take it you have bad news for me,” JR said grimly. “So why don’t you spit it out?”“Okay we’re here to terminate your contract with our refinery!” Bruce said.“Excuse me?” JR looked questioning at the couple.“Mr. Ewing we hate to do this to you but you’ll see we’ve just bought the Cutler refinery in Galveston and to get room for our own oil we need to send some existing clients away,” Heather explained.“I see,” JR said, “So why Ewing Oil?”“Well your contract expires at the end of the month so…” Heather said.“I know that but surely there must be some other company you can terminate instead,” JR said. “I mean Ewing’s been with Cutler for 20 years and besides Marilee and I are old friends.”Bruce twitched, as he didn’t like the way JR had just said that, it was almost like he implied that he’d had an affair with Marilee, which made Bruce hate the man even more. Bruce looked at JR with contempt in his eyes before he said angrily, “Well so were you and my dad and that didn’t stop you from stabbing him in the back over that Asian deal.”JR looked surprised before he said, “That was a long time ago boy.”“Doesn’t change the fact that my father killed himself over that deal,” Bruce said in a way that made JR realize just why Bruce Stone was out to get him.“That was not my fault. Seth just didn’t have any backbone,” JR said.“My father was twice the man you’ll ever be,” Bruce said angrily. “Come on Heather we’re done here.” Bruce then stormed out of JR’s office, leaving an embarrassed Heather to cover his tracks.“I’m sorry about this Mr. Ewing,” Heather said. “When Bruce suggested terminating Ewing Oil’s contract I didn’t realize it was personal.”“Neither did I when Bruce screwed me over on the Odessa deal this spring. I know better now,” JR said grimly before he added in a threatening tone of voice. “You better watch your husband Heather, because if he’ll come after me again you’ll have a war on your hands!”</blockquote>
