A/N: I feel like I'm always saying this now, but long time no see... Hope you enjoy the chapter, it's not much, but it's something :)

Workshops were just as boring as meetings, and yet worse because they were interactive. No one wanted interactive, no one liked it, no one but a suck up.
     "We have the courage to do what's right and we lead decisively," Jeremy lowered his hand as he spoke. "And the power of adding on those extra sales, the results are staggering," he bit the end of his pen with a smirk.
     Kirstie just about spewed in her mouth, anyone who learnt the conference booklet deserved to be punched in the face. And that went for the next person who spoke too, no one was safe.
     "We find solutions to challenges and if even a quarter of all customers took up the offer, then yeah," Jessica spoke while her face changed to match the colour of her hair as close as it could.
     Taylor just about fell off her napping fist in shock, looking around Kirstie to see that yes: yes it was their friend Jess who had spoken.
     Kirstie could swear vomit had come up the back of her throat, luckily not out.
     "What? What?" Taylor whispered. "Who dat?"
     "Don't fucking ask me," Kirstie whispered back, "Not being rude," she quickly added. "Just in shock."
     "Got ya sis," Taylor replied. She then leant around Kirstie to tap Jessica's arm with her rolled up pamphlet. "Jessica LaVilla what are you doing?"
     Kirstie leant back as Jess leant across her too.
     "This week isn't all about partying Taylor, it's a work conference," Jessica was blunt and Taylor is taken aback, Kirstie too.
     "And some people actually want to further their career's" came the voice they hadn't realised was sitting next to Jess even though he hadn't stopped talking.
     Taylor's jaw was clenched, "No one was talking to you Jerkemy."
     Jeremy shrugged, "Just defending a fellow worker who actually cares about work."
     "Shut-up," Jess turned her back to him, thankfully blocking him from Kirstie and Taylor's view.
     "Ew," Taylor gagged.
     Kirstie stayed quiet but greeted Will with a nod as he snuck in and sat next to Taylor.
     "Where have you been?" Taylor's head snapped around.
     Will slowly settled into his seat, "I slept in, don't even worry about it."
     "To have the attention of the entire room would be nice," the bland voice from the front of the conference hall spoke.
     And back to boredom it was.

A/N: So why do we think Jess is being so serious? Any ideas?

Hope you enjoyed the chapter, please vote and comment, it really makes my day :)
