"Hello. Miss Hayes, thank you for your presentation," Denver nodded slightly to Emily and turned to the audience, "You all know me well, so I won't give opening speeches and get straight to the point."
"Are you all right?" Emily heard Justin whisper from behind. The man took a chair and sat down behind her. He turned it sideways so that the backs of their chairs touched. His hand lay on them, touching the girl's back. This small contact immediately gave the girl a charge of energy, as if her dead internal battery was connected to the power supply.
"Yeah, I'm all right. Well, maybe a little nervous," Emily tilted her head to the side so the boss could hear her answer, but continued to follow the scene. "Is the broadcast going on?"
"Yes," Evans replied, "That will be fair to our viewers. We have a good project, Em, I see no reason to manipulate public opinion."
