Artemis's Devotion

Chapter 16

Artemis's plane lands in Edinburgh amidst a light drizzle, He feels a rush of mixed emotions in him but he is quite relieved at finally reaching his destination and anxious about how he confronts Rose. As he made his way through the airport, Artemis saw his phone, waiting for Mr. Brittany's updates on her.

"Mr. Vanderbilt" A familiar voice called out, Artemis turned around to see Peter, a lean man with hazel green eyes approaching him.

"Mr. Brittany" Artemis nodded.

They both hug each other.

"Any new developments?" Artemis breaks the hug.

"Yes, Mr. Vanderbilt. But you have to fresh up first and then we get down in the business" Peter says.

"Yeah, I am very tired by the way"

"Here" Peters shows at the Taxi, which he had brought for Artemis.

They both get in the car.

"Where are we going?" Artemis asks him.

"To the hotel"

"The one where Rose is staying right now?"

"No"

"What?"

"Yes, Miss Amatore has shifted from the hotel into a small independent house"

"Since when?"

"A few hours ago"

"And where are we going now? Her house?"

"No, Mr. Vanderbilt. Right now we will stay in the hotel"

"Yes! You saved me because I don't want to confront her in this position"

"You are good-looking, Mr. Vanderbilt" Peter says.

"I meant, I am very much tired and I need a heavy brunch I could say"

"Yeah, I understood. Don't worry, In our hotel the food is amazing"

"Thank goodness"

They both reach their destination after a few minutes of traveling.

"The room is ready" Peter said as they stepped out of the taxi and entered the grand lobby of the Balmoral Hotel.

Artemis followed Peter to the elevator.

They both reached the room, As Peter opened the door, Artemis was greeted by a spacious room with a view of the city.

"I'll give you some time to freshen up" Peter says, placing Artemis's luggage on the luggage rack.

He nods.

"Meet me in the hotel restaurant in an hour, We'll discuss everything over brunch"

"Thank you, Mr. Brittany. It won't be long" Artemis replied.

After taking a quick shower and a fresh pair of clothes, he is still anxious about the confrontation with Rose, he hasn't seen her for weeks.

He made his way to the restaurant where Peter was already seated at the table near the window, scanning through some documents.

"Hello" Artemis joins him.

"Hello" Peter greets him back.

Soon a waiter appeared to take their orders.

Once their orders were placed, Peter leans forward.

"Here what we know" He began.

"Rose moved out of the hotel early this morning and rented a small house in Old town, she started working at a bookstore called 'The Book Quirrel'"
