At first, Artie was genuinely anxious from his expression to his tone, but at so point, he switched back to the Rhyming Siren.
"Which number do you want your brother to call, Mr. Sterling’s or Master Sean Lowell’s?" Leo chuckled indulgently.
"Does Master Sean Lowell even have a phone? Then, of course, it would be..." Just as Artie was about to reveal his true thoughts, he realized there was a trap in his brother’s words.
A good brother, learning who knows what, digging a hole for his sister: "Then any number will do, Artie is looking for Sumr, not anyone else."
Leo made a call to Gordon Sterling.
He knew his sister well, having spoiled her himself.
Regardless of whether Artie was worried about Sumr Fairmont or aiming for so other achievent, if he didn’t satisfy his sister’s request "imdiately," he would spend the whole day in a "living hell."
"Mr. Sterling, I wanted to ask when you guys got back from Brunschwig Distillery yesterday."
"Only returned this morning, it’s the first ti in my life that we’ve had a police escort all the way ho."
Gordon took quite a while to blearily answer the call.
Manager Sterling had also been busy until dawn because of his artist’s affairs.
"The police? Why were the police involved, and what’s with ’Uncle Policeman’? Where’s Sumr? Where did you all take Sumr?"
Originally just eavesdropping to gather so information about whether Master Sean Lowell was up, Artie couldn’t help but grab the phone upon hearing about the police.
"How would I dare take the great Miss anywhere? She abandoned us in the middle of nowhere and left us!" Gordo moved the receiver a bit away from his ear.
"You didn’t go in there with Sumr? You actually let a girl go alone to such a creepy place, Gordo, how could you?!"
The Pouting Siren was angry. Monts ago, it was "you all," but suddenly it turned into "you," as if only Gordo hitched a ride with Sumr Fairmont last night.
Gordo was already sleep-deprived and was patiently talking to Leo.
After Artie’s unfounded accusations, Gordo’s temper flared.
"Why don’t you think before you speak? If you lack a brain, at least shove so tofu in there for show."
After saying this, Gordo hung up the phone.
Gordo was patient with Leo due to their long-standing collaboration.
The self-proclaid Winters Ambassador didn’t qualify as soone Gordo needed to give face to.
Artie felt very aggrieved.
Why does Gordo always target her?
Why in the world, is Gordo the only one who bullies the incredibly adorable Artie, frightening Heaven and Earth?
Artie’s eyes turned red; she was indeed alard, really wanted to find a topic to talk to Sean Lowell, but her concern for Sumr was absolutely genuine.
If she rely wanted to ss with soone, there was no need for her to run over to Sumr Fairmont’s place first thing in the morning.
"There, there, I’ll give you Master Sean Lowell’s number, you can send him a ssage. I’ll get up now and take you to find Sumr, okay?"
"Artie wants to call Master Sean Lowell." Artie, having been wronged by the manager, wanted to unload on the artist.
Even if she couldn’t directly change managers, she wanted the artist to see the evil manager’s true colors.
"Didn’t Mr. Sterling just say they’ve just returned to the hotel? Master Sean Lowell is surely sleeping too. You send a ssage; if he’s awake, he’ll definitely reply. If he’s asleep, you’ll wait until he wakes up to ask, okay?" Leo would never have a morning temper when it ca to Artie.
Artie’s expression still showed a bit of reluctance.
She was an activist, accustod to acting on her thoughts directly.
"Even if we reported a missing person, it’s not like we report imdiately after just a few hours of absence, right? Think about where Sumr might be, and I’ll take you to look for her, okay?"
"Mm-hmm, you’re the best, brother. Artie listens to you. Brother, send Master Sean’s number to Artie, Artie will wash her face and change clothes, and you do the sa. Let’s et later in the study, okay?"
Initially frantic due to concern, once she cald down, Artie had every confidence in Sumr Fairmont’s "survival skills."
Besides the Pouting Siren, Artie had never seen anyone who could bully Sumr Fairmont.
But if her brother offered to help look, Artie would be absolutely in favor.
It’s clearly not Leo accompanying Artie to find Sumr Fairmont; it’s clearly a brother helping his sister find a sister-in-law!
