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?”

She turned to Thalassa, her pale face stricken with panic, so distraught that she kept pointing out the obvious.” Without these dresses, we can’t compete at the awards show.”

The seamstresses, standing nearby, murmured in despair. One of them, Marta, who had spent hours hand- stitching beads into the ultimate dress that was supposed to be worn by Thalassa, let out a small sob.

Thalassa’s eyes narrowed. “Just heard?” she repeated coldly. “How come you were only just told now? You should have caught and stopped the intruder.”

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.”
