What could he say now? "Aren't you happy?" Dorothy blinked, "Now you don't have to worry about getting caught or deliberately distancing yourself from me! Just shake off Quincy's spies, and you can sneak back to Bay Residence to be with me! Don't worry, officially I'll still appear as if we've broken up. No one will know." "If you're ever in trouble, you have to tellimmediately." Dorothy nodded, "Don't worry, I've already said I'll live well, so of course, I'll tell you! If I died now, wouldn't that just make Quincy's day? She'd marry you in a heartbeat!" "That day will never come." Everett's voice was low and solemn, "No matter where you are, I'll be there with you." To live, they would live together.
To die, he would follow her.

[Mr. Lopez, I've delivered the antidote to Ms. Sanchez, proving I'm not the villain here, right? Can we... meet up?] Upon seeing the message, Everett didn't respond immediately but set his phone aside.
Kevin knocked on the office door and peeked in, "Mr. Lopez, Quincy is here." That was quick.
Everett looked up slightly from his paperwork, "Let her wait for a bit. I'll see her at lunch." "Alright." Kevin always followed Mr. Lopez's orders without question.
Just as he was about to leave, Everett called out to him, instructing, "Keep Quincy in the dark about Dorothy and me. Make her think our relationship is really on the rocks." "Got it!" Kevin flashed an OK sign.
Exiting the office, he glanced around, straightened his suit, and took the elevator down.
In the lobby of the Lopez Building, Quincy was waiting.
Kevin approached her, his expression slightly irked, "Quincy, you might as well stop waiting. Mr. Lopez is really busy!" "When will he be free?" Quincy immediately asked.

"Yeah!" Kevin clapped his hands, seemingly exasperated with Dorothy as well "Never thought she'd be this unreasonable. You'd think she was easy to get along with too, right?" Quincy paused, unsure of what to say next.
"Can you believe it? She actually demanded half of the Lopez o m Corporation from him! Who could agree to that?" She immediately frowned, "Did Dorothy really say that?"
"If it was just about money, don't you think Mr. Lopez would have agreed? Who likes being nagged all the time?" Kevin scoffed, "Always using the excuse of the kids being sick to get Mr. Lopez to cover, and he believed her at first. But when he got there, the kids were perfectly fine! Sick? Please."
