"Impossible..."
This was a scenario Quincy had never even dreamed of!
The poison she had slipped into Dorothy's drink was designed to be counteracted by an antidote, ensuring at least a month's safety if taken on schedule! She had given Everett two doses, which should have lasted well beyond two months!
Frantically, Quincy rushed out of the emergency room and confronted Everett directly.
"What has Ms. Sanchez been up to? What has she eaten lately, what has she done? Tell me everything! She shouldn't be coughing up blood! Don’t tell me you forgot to give her the second antidote?"
"She took it, I saw her swallow it myself!" Was she here to interrogate him? He hadn't even begun to settle his score with her! "Quincy, you better pray Dorothy's okay. If not, I swear you'll learn the meaning of living hell."
Quincy was taken aback by the ferocity in his eyes and hurried back to the emergency room. She didn't need Everett to repeat himself; she knew very well that if anything happened to Dorothy, she'd be in deep trouble. It was a gamble from the start: if Dorothy lived, she lived; if Dorothy died, she died.
...
Outside the emergency room, Jeffrey rushed over in a panic. Seeing Everett, he immediately approached, "How’s it going? What's the situation?"
"Why are you here?" Everett asked, surprised.
"The whole company's buzzing about Dorothy coughing up blood! How could I not know? But I haven’t told Karen, just said there was an emergency at work and came straight here." Jeffrey paused, then added, "Quincy's doing?"
"It's probably because Dorothy's been working overtime these past few days. Her health’s taken a hit."
Everett had calmed down to consider that Quincy wouldn't wish harm on Dorothy intentionally, which meant the problem had to lie with Dorothy herself.
"She’s just started to trust me..."
Despite Quincy's manipulations, Dorothy hadn't caused a scene but had chosen to trust him.
"What's more important, her life or her trust? You're doing this to save her life, aren't you? Once she's out of danger, you can tell her the truth, right?" Jeffrey patted Everett on the shoulder, "I'll back you up when the time comes."
"…"
"Dorothy's not one to fall out of love easily. Once this blows over, Quincy will be at your mercy, and Dorothy will surely understand."
It was surely better than bending over backwards for Quincy at every turn.

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
