"You had a chance, Mr. Lopez was head over heels for you! But you just had to push it until things got ugly, didn't you? Until Mr. Lopez lost his mother before you decided enough was enough!" In Quincy's eyes, this was the direct cause of their relationship's downfall.

Dorothy naturally followed her lead, "But I regret it, and he still won't forgive me!"

"Opportunities come once in a lifetime, and Mr. Lopez, such a catch, do you think he'd wait forever?"

"So what, you came here to rub it in my face?"

Dorothy was worried that if Everett suddenly came back and Quincy saw him, it would be super awkward!

She had to get rid of her, and fast.

"Rub it in? You wish! I had no need for that!" Quincy scoffed, "I thought Mr. Lopez might be staying here, that's the only reason I came! Now, I've got no interest in seeing you."

Quincy was practically saying she didn't deem Dorothy worthy of her presence!

"Then please leave, don't let the door hit you on the way out."

Dorothy's tone turned icy as she walked past her into Bay Residence.

Peeking from the foyer, she watched Quincy stand at the door for a moment before turning to leave. Only then did Dorothy breathe a sigh of relief.

The plan was already in motion, and Dorothy didn't want to throw Everett off course.
