Mostly well

Everyone came in and sat down in their seats. Janice stayed standing at the end of the table.

'Thank you for coming. I assume you've all read the briefing.' She greeted, addressing the room, most people nodded. Alec however leant back in his chair as he stared at Janice with a concerned look, his hands behind his head, 'I'd like to launch a new ad campaign as quickly as possible.'

'Certainly out customers will notice the age difference.' Stated the head of marketing, Robert. Janice turned her attention to him, 'Do we tell them about the wasp hormone?'

'No, we can't be specific.' Janice replied, 'Remember it's a ****, it's not a moisturiser or astringent.'

'Has anybody contacted Dr. Zinthrop?' Asked Arthur.

'Dr. Zinthrop is currently quite unwell. So we're starting without him.' Janice replied, 'It's okay though, there's not much more we could do even with him.'

'We might be able to work this to our advantage.' Robert suggested, Janice faced him, intrigued, 'We lure the customers and the investors in with the promise of something to come, that already has proven benefits.'

'That's a good idea, work with that.' Janice stated, pointing at him.

'We're going to need some photos of you with the product.' Robert added.

'What about using Caitlin?' Alec asked, not knowing she had been fired. Janice however forgot that he wouldn't have know and he mind started racing. Why was he bringing her up? Was she still not beautiful enough for him? Did he love that bitch more?

'She no longer works with us.' Janice stated professionally, keeping herself together, 'It's my product, and thanks to it, I can model for it once more.'

'Well, this is going to cost a fair bit.' Arthur added, 'Shouldn't we contact Mr. Talbot? His investment in this latest product could speed things up.'

'No!' Janice asserted, she regathered herself. Why was everyone against her? Caitlin and Talbot? Fuck both of them, 'We will be able to produce it without his support, and once we start selling his money will be useless to us. Robert, create a mock-up bottle of the product for Alec and I to photograph this afternoon.'

'Will do.' Robert said.

'I think we've covered everything today. I'll see you at our next meeting.' Janice stated with a smile as she collected her papers into a neat pile. Everyone stood up from their seats and left her office, as she returned to her desk.
