Gordon Sterling wouldn’t allow Sean Lowell to get into trouble.
A small part of the reason was that "The Divine Palate" was the signature of Lowe-Fairmont Tipples and was at the core of his entire Liquor Empire.
But more importantly, as soone who barely graduated in the field of brewing engineering, an untalented brewer, Gordon knew better than those who were far removed from the industry just how precious Sean Lowell’s national treasure-level sense of sll and taste were.
Perhaps, Sean Lowell is not the only one in the world with such a talent.
But he is certainly the most hardworking and disciplined among the few with such talent.
Gordon didn’t want Sean Lowell to return to a state of constantly hitting walls just because of the few unexpected incidents on this year’s annual Top 100 spirits list.
"Really not going to tell Mr. Sterling?" The Nation’s Gentleman’s worries were evident: "I fear if Mr. Sterling finds out later, the consequences could be more severe than a symphony becoming a swan song."
"No need. I just didn’t rest well the past couple of days, nothing serious," Sean Lowell reassured Leo Vaughn.
For a Master Sean Lowell who only "descends into the mundane world" once a year, it indeed felt a bit uncomfortable, dealing with the world’s hustle and bustle.
He usually had trouble sleeping the night before the grand event.
Once the event concluded, he would catch up by sleeping all day.
Then he would set off back to Elder Ford’s place to continue his "spiritual cultivation."
But yesterday’s event series left Sean Lowell with no desire to sleep.
While he was asleep, he was suddenly splashed with two pots of water, causing a fever.
In the unrested state, he rushed to et with Sumr Fairmont, ntioned in Artie Vaughn’s call, as soon as possible.
All these various factors together ultimately led to the result of a high fever causing delirium and fainting.
Everything has its cause and effect.
However, Sean Lowell did not bla Artie Vaughn for the hospitalization due to high fever.
Seeing Artie with red, crying eyes standing in one corner of the hospital room, wanting to co over but afraid to approach, Sean Lowell comforted her: "It’s not your fault, it’s mine."
Sumr Fairmont looked at Sean Lowell once more and instantly found him much more agreeable.
This was exactly how a normal person should react upon seeing The Devilish Lolita.
However, to Sumr Fairmont, a perfectly normal statent, upon reaching Artie Vaughn’s ears, took on a different flavor.
The Pouting Siren, who only knew how to act coy and didn’t understand the concept of being shy, amazingly got so shy that she buried her head on Sumr Fairmont’s shoulder: "Sumr, Artie really seems to have fallen for the fa-seeking master."
Artie Vaughn never hid her emotions.
By adding the word "really" before "likes a bit," she was also admitting that her previous phone call about Sean Lowell being her ideal type was a ruse to get Sumr Fairmont back.
Artie was the type who would throw a tantrum and play little tricks, but she had no malice.
No matter if others understood or not, Sumr Fairmont was unbothered by it.
"Hmm."
With a simple interjection, Sumr Fairmont indicated she received the ssage from The Pouting Siren.
As the gatekeeper, Sumr Fairmont never thought of influencing Artie Vaughn’s decisions.
As long as Artie didn’t choose a frivolous and slick idle person, Sumr Fairmont would not have any opinion.
By nature introverted, she wasn’t the "good friend" who would deeply involve herself in a best friend’s love life.
Unless one deliberately wanted to date her best friend, the line between friendship and romance should be distinct.
Although Sumr Fairmont was a year younger than Artie, she had always cared for Artie as if she were a "sister" or even a "daughter."
So with sour-grape ntality might say Sumr Fairmont chose to be friends with Artie because of life difficulties.
Similarly, Artie Vaughn chose to be friends with Sumr Fairmont due to her inability to care for herself.
In this world, many exist who cannot perceive the bond between others without projecting their own feelings.
But does it really matter?
Sumr Fairmont didn’t mind using her "boyfriend strength," doing everything a boyfriend could do for The Devilish Lolita while Artie was single.
She also didn’t mind Artie finding soone with even more boyfriend strength who could take over all she could do for Artie.
As a best friend, Sumr Fairmont never wanted to control Artie Vaughn’s life.
