Violet was at a loss for words for a moment, "I mean are you just lucky, or are you insanely lucky? You hooked up with Mr. York, and what are you doing still here? At least stay till sunrise."
Getting a moment with either Tyrone or Snow was as hard as hitting the jackpot. But Quintessa, oh, she not only had a fling with one hotshot but bumped into another right after. Violet was tempted to jinx her love life.
Quintessa recalled the previous night with a smile, "Couldn't stay till sunrise, ‘cause I kicked him out."
"Who did you kick out? Can you be a bit clearer?" Violet was puzzled.
Quintessa grinned, "I slept with Tyrone once and then gave him the boot. I told him, from now on, we're just boss and employee."
Violet poked Quintessa's forehead, feeling exasperated, "Are you out of your mind? I sold my studio for a dime, hoping you'd snag Tyrone. It wasn't about the bread; it was about making a statement, you know."
Quintessa hugged Violet, "Relying on a man is never as good as relying on oneself. I'll get the Oscar and make you proud."
"You're gonna be the death of me."
Manny rushed over with Quintessa's phone, "James is calling."
After hesitating for a moment, Quintessa answered. James delicately conveyed Tyrone's message.
Quintessa casually said, "Oh, tell him this scandal has boosted my fame. I'm quite pleased, no need for clarifications."
She tossed the phone back to Manny, as she had made up her mind. No man was worth more than her own strength.
