Once again, she doubled over the trash can, vomiting a couple of times, and ended up expelling most of the medicine.
Seeing this, Alexander furrowed his brow slightly and reached out to pat Quinn on the back.
After she finished retching, Alexander handed her a glass of water. She took the glass, gulped down the water, and then looked at Alexander with red-rimmed eyes, feeling upset. Alexander took out a lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it, and placed it in her mouth.

In the elevator, she handed Alexander the stick with the finished lollipop.
Alexander glanced down at it, then at Quinn, but didn't take it.
Quinn extended her hand towards him again. Her large eyes fixed on him unwaveringly.
A silent tension filled the elevator.
After a moment, Alexander finally reached out and took the trash from her hand. Stepping out of the elevator, he casually tossed it into a nearby trash can, before leading Quinn to his office.
