Keynote Speaker, Blindside
She appeared so sweet and kindhearted at the training. Sitting with her hands folded, she appeared to be as polite as a well-trained princess. Little did everyone know, she was going to betray the whole department very soon. Her keynote speech was full of trite comments and expressions.
