After greeting a few more people, Leah Sinclair pulled Sheila Hughes aside and said she was heading to the restroom. Sheila knew she just wanted to get away for a bit, so she let her go.
She reminded her to come back soon, as the Keating and Peyton Group collaboration was about to be announced, and Asher Keating would be taking the stage.
Leah Sinclair nodded and hurried to the restroom. The moment she was out of the main hall, she breathed a sigh of relief. She really wasn't cut out for scenes like this. There were too many people, and she couldn't keep track of who was who.
She shook her head with a wry smile and headed for the restroom. After washing her hands, she came out and wandered over to a small, nearby garden, planning to linger for a few minutes before going back inside.
As she rounded a corner, she heard a man and a woman chatting. They mentioned Asher Keating and Phoebe Peyton.
