"What do you think?" The man raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on her. Although there was no anger in his eyes, Quincy felt an overwhelming pressure that made her feel somewhat guilty.
"Who knows what you're talking about! Move aside! Or I'm calling the cops."
With that, Quincy tried to leave.
But the man simply stretched out his hand, barely exerting any effort, and easily blocked her way.
"Quincy, need I remind you of something?" He curved his lips into a slight smirk. "Poison."
"I... I don't know what you're talking about!"
"The poison you slipped to Dorothy. Hand over the antidote."
Seeing Quincy's refusal to confess, the man made his intention clear.
"What poison, what antidote, are you crazy?! What do I have to do with you? Keep this up, and I'll—"
"I'll call the police," the man interjected calmly. "Go ahead, call them. Then when they ask why I'm stopping you, I'll tell them you poisoned Dorothy, intending to commit murder."
"..."
"Let's see who walks out of the police station then."
Quincy realized his intention was all about Dorothy.
He must have confirmed that she was the one who poisoned Dorothy. Denying it further would be futile! All she wanted was to get away from this man and go back to making soup for Everett.
"What do you want? Just spit it out."
"The antidote." The man extended his hand.
Quincy scoffed. "What's in it for me if I give you the antidote? Even if you take Dorothy to the hospital right now, the doctors won't detect the poison I used! You have no evidence to prove anything."
The man seemed quite intrigued by her proposal.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"This poison... has such uses?"
"Of course! With this in hand, unless Dorothy wishes to risk her life, she'll have to do as you say."
Though Quincy no longer saw Dorothy as a significant threat, she and Everett had a past.
There was a child between them, an unbreakable bond.
Managing Everett alone was already a handful for her; she had no time to worry about Dorothy.
Now that someone willingly offered to help, why wouldn't she be pleased?

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....
