Amber’s POV
I stood in the entryway of the banquet hall for a long moment as I looked around the room, searching for people I knew – mainly Noah, or some others from the hospital.
Unfortunately, others saw me first and must have recognized me. Before I knew it, the entire room was clapping, applauding for me. Someone even whistled.
My cheeks burned and I immediately wanted to make my escape. How would it look though, for me to just about face and walk out? My reputation was flying high right now. A maneuver like that would surely be viewed as a slight by the upper class, and as they were most of my patients, I couldn’t turn my back on my patrons.
Not until I had enough money to take care of Alice.
For now, I had to mingle. One loop around the room and then I’d make my mistake.
