"I'm wearing heels. It doesn't matter."

Minerva ambled towards the mannequin calmly. After pondering for a while, she said to Vera, "Don't come in. Get me a pair of gloves first."

Vera originally wanted to go in, but she went to take the gloves for Minerva after listening to her words.

There were only Kelly and Minerva left at the scene.

Kelly finally calmed herself down. She wiped away the tears on her face and looked at Minerva, "You're going to pick up the outfit? But... the outfit has been torn apart. It doesn't serve the purpose anymore even if you do so."

Minerva threw her a glance.

"Who said that it doesn't serve the purpose anymore?"

Kelly was stunned by her words. "What do you mean?"

"Don't lose hope," Minerva's expression was calm as she scrutinized the surroundings. She then said in a low voice, "Tell me how you discovered this scene."

"I..." Kelly puckered her lips and felt awkward for a while. "I was overjoyed yesterday, thus I invited everyone for a drink, and then... this is my first work displayed in the exhibition hall. I felt happy even though no one took notice of it. So... I returned and took a look at the dress. It was all good yesterday night. However, it turned out to be in such a manner when I came to have a look this morning. I think Vera is right. Someone might have broken into the building to commit burglary."

"Burglary?" Minerva laughed in a subdued voice. "Do you think... the burglar will cause such a scene?"

Kelly paused for a while, "What do you mean?"

"A thief will normally enter the place to steal something. But what's the hassle of turning this place into a mess?"
