About a hundred people from various professional backgrounds rose from their seats and applauded the arrival of Rachel, Lars, and Sylvia. Rachel was in their midst, smiling professionally despite her slightly pale face and the green operating room uniform she wore.
The ever-attentive Lars pulled the panel for Rachel before him. Since Rachel was released from the isolation room yesterday, Lars had barely allowed Rachel to pull, carry, or do anything heavy and demanding. "You want to start?" he asked then.
Rachel glanced at Sylvia first as the three sat perfectly on the three podium seats, asking for her opinion, or giving her a chance if she wanted to speak. However, the talkative girl shook her head, throwing it at Lars or Rachel.
"You can start it, Lars. You're my spokesperson today."
