GoodReadEverett's voice was laced with urgency, his explanations jumping from one topic to another without much logic. It was clear he was panicking.
Dorothy almost thought it was skind of emergency! "I get it, you know." "You're not upset?" She sighed, "Of course not. I just thought Quincy showing up to taunt was funny, so I sent you the picture." "Oh... I thought you were jealous." "Not at all, really." After Dorothy said this, she found it somewhat amusing and chuckled, "My not being jealous is because I trust you, not because I don't care about you!"

They had sconcerns about the new project's process, especially regarding environmental issues, so we're discussing that." Dorothy was momentarily speechless.
"And you're still...?" "I thought you were mad atsince you hadn't replied to my messages." "I wasn't, and I won't make such jokes anymore! You better get back to work. I'm heading back to Bay Residence. We'll talk when you're off." "Alright." Dorothy quickly ended the call, not wanting to distract him any further.

After parking the car, she walked up and confronted him, "Quincy, what are you doing here?!" "Howe you're at Bay Residence!" Upon seeing her, Quincy instantly furrowed his brows, dropping any pretense of civility.
"This place, Everett gave it toages ago. Where else should I be?" "Mr. Lopez gave this to you?" "Of course! Didn't he tell you? If you don't believe me, feel free to ask around!" Quincy obviously wouldn't go asking.

"Bay Residence is quite a catch, Ms. Sanchez. You should be content." Quincy was still holding onto t jacket, probably hoping to use it get an excuse to chat up Everett and get closer to him. "Why should I be content? This is what I deserve!" Dorothy deliberately glanced at the suit jacket, frowning, "That jacket! Isn't that Everett's? Were you two together last night?!" Quincy couldn't hide her pride.
Even stood a little taller.
"Why would I lie to you?" "So, Everett... slept with you?" "We're all adults here. What else would we do under the covers, 含羞會量 chat?" Quincy rolled up her sleeve.

to Lopez! He was so intense, keptup all night..." Dorothy remembered her own night with Everett at Bay Residence's bedroom.
She couldn't help but cough lightly.
"Indeed... Everett does like to keep things... interesting all night." "What did you say?" Dorothy waved it off, "Nothing, nothing! Just musing about how fleeting a man's heart can be." mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
