Quincy's mention of compensation for Dorothy flew under everyone's radar.

But then, Dorothy actually got a call from her.

"What the hell do you want, Dorothy? Spill it all now and then stay the hell away from Mr. Lopez, forever!" Quincy's tone was that of an elite socialite dealing with her husband's affair – authoritative and dismissive.
