Following Roxy, Jess fought back a groan when she heard several voices. Judging by that surge of irritation from the anchor, those voices didn't belong to the kitchen staff. Sitting through breakfast with Maxwell and Reginald would have been bad enough, but several people? [color=teal]"Another guess,"[/color] she whispered to Roxy.

Sure enough, when they entered the dining room, four other men sat waiting for them alongside Maxwell and Mr Black. At Reginald's mention of things to discuss, Jess' stomach churned. Some kind of deal was surely about to take place, and if yesterday was anything to go by, it would be one they had no say in - or at the very least, refusing would have consequences. 

Without a word, she took a seat, trying to mask the simmering frustration. Letting too much slip this time would be a particularly bad move.
