Eugene gave Quincy a taunting look. "Quincy, you're a CEO now. Don't go around playing the clingy ex. That's hardly a good look, is it?"

Quincy knew that if he could win Lydia back, he would throw his reputation aside in a heartbeat. Building his company had always been about giving her a better life. But he also knew that holding on would only add to her frustration and resentment. He couldn't be that selfish. Lydia sighed, looking at Quincy one last time. After all they had shared, the love she felt hadn't faded. Even though they were heading for a divorce, she wouldn't let Eugene belittle him. "Stop it. I'm tired. Let's just pick up the skincare for my mom so we can go home," she said.

Eugene immediately took her hand, steering her toward the exit. "Then let's take a break first. We can grab a bite to eat and rest up. There's no rush. It's just us."

Not far behind, Tiffany wrapped her arm around Quincy, raising her voice so Lydia and Eugene could hear. "Quincy, let's grab some food too. I took pictures of a few lipstick shades. I wanted your cousin's opinion."

Even if Lydia ended up with Eugene, Quincy wasn't about to get tangled up with Tiffany. They weren't kids in a playground, bickering and trying to hurt each other to prove a point. All he wanted was for Lydia to be happy, and that was enough for him.
