Luisa let out a horrified gasp, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at the disaster in front of them. “Oh my God… Thalassa, they destroyed the dresses. They destroyed the dresses! What are we going to do?”

The guard swallowed nervously. “I’m sorry, Ms. Thompson I’m on morning duty. I wasn’t part of the guards on night duty yesterday.”
