Quincy didn’t respond to that. Instead, he shifted the topic. “Do you remember what you just said about Lydia?””Of course I remember.” Tiffany didn’t understand why he suddenly asked, but she had no problem repeating herself. After all, Quincy was the one who brought it up this time.”Lydia’s running around with another man before your divorce is even finalized. She’s not a good woman, and you saw it with your own eyes. I know it’s hard for you to accept, but you can’t just fool yourself forever, can you?” She even made sure to bring up Mrs. Perez, adding, “If your mom found out, she’d be furious.””Lydia hasn’t finalized the divorce yet, but neither have I. Miss Tiffany, I’m still married, and here you are saying all this to me. Should I interpret that as you trying to make yourself the other woman?” Quincy wasn’t holding back at all.Tiffany’s face drained of color. The term “other woman” hit her hard. How could he use such an ugly phrase to describe her?”We’re perfectly innocent. Nothing happened between us. How can you accuse me of that?” she stammered.”Lydia and he are even more innocent. They weren’t holding hands or getting cozy. And unlike some, Lydia’s mom didn’t drug her own child,” Quincy shot back, cutting her off.Thinking about that incident still filled him with rage. People take more care with their pets, yet his mother was willing to go to such lengths.Tiffany wasn’t ready to admit thather behavior was questionable. “Well, Mrs. Perez must have her reasons for disliking Lydia. It must be something Lydia did. Otherwise, how could things get so badbetween them?” “That’s like saying the reason I dislike you must be your fault too. Maybe you should go home and think about it, and then stay far away from me,” Quincy retorted again.

Shelooked down and started to wipe away her tears, pulling out her last card. “I know you don’t like me, but Mrs. Perez is in the hospital, and all she wants is for us to spend time together. Do you really want to risk making her health worse by going against her wishes?” At that moment, Quincy felt a surge of irritation. He needed to talk to the doctor and get a clear picture of his mother’s condition. He was done just taking her word for it. Hewanted to know when she el netdischarged because he had no intention of being forced into thisbesituation forever. He checked his watch and said, “I have work to do back at the office. I’ll give you half an hour. If you want to ask Mabel about her preferences, do it now, because after that, I’m out.””Alright, let’s just get it done quickly,” Tiffany replied, hastily catching up to his pace.Meanwhile, at a table on the third floor, Eugene was busy making sure everything was perfect. He poured Lydia some water, then grabbed napkins and wiped the table, which was already clean.”Eugene, relax. The server can handle this stuff, and the table doesn’t need a second wipe,” Lydia said, finally stopping him. She could see he was trying hard to impress her, but she didn’t need it. Eugene tossed the napkin into the trash. “Lydia, I just don’t want you to feel like you’re being shortchanged.”
