“Sweetheart.”
Everett gently stroked her hair, and then suddenly accelerated, both their hearts seeming to clench at once.
Dorothy clung to his arm for dear life, unable to tell if the pain or something else was more intense, with only his name echoing in her mind.
“Everett, Everett!”
“I’m here, I’m right here.”
...
Quincy woke up from a nightmare once again.
In her dream, the men sent by Simeon laughed wildly and menacingly, each reaching out for her…
She abruptly opened her eyes to find it was still daytime.
Quincy got up from the hotel bed, rushed to draw all the curtains wide open and turned on every light, then stood in the middle of the empty room, finally catching her breath.
It took her a while to pull herself out of the nightmare, and it dawned on her that the freedom she yearned for wasn’t so easily attained.
Without a powerful backer, without someone strong to protect her, there was no real freedom to speak of.
Quincy’s gaze settled on her cellphone, then she slipped on her shoes and walked out of the hotel room with her phone in hand.
Outside, a well-trained bodyguard stood expressionless.
He seemed less there to protect Quincy and more to keep an eye on her, reporting every move back to his superiors.
Quincy was well aware of his true purpose.
“I want to see Everett.”
She came out and made her request directly.
She was afraid…
What if there was a lapse, and she ended up in Simeon’s clutches again?
Quincy said her piece and went back into her room.
She knew the bodyguard would relay the message to his superiors, and eventually, it would reach Everett’s ears.
True enough, as soon as Quincy left, the bodyguard hurriedly sent a message to Kevin.
【Quincy wants to see Mr. Lopez.】
He relayed Quincy’s words verbatim.
Kevin responded quickly, 【Keep an eye on her, don’t let her leave the hotel. Mr. Lopez might be resting now and hasn’t seen my message. We’ll decide once he’s awake.】

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....
