“I'm wearing shoes. It doesn't matter.”
Alice walked to the model that was on the ground and then said to Yanis after a moment of thinking, “Don't come in, take a set of gloves to me.”
Yanis originally wanted to go in, but hearing that, she had to go to take gloves for her.
So only Winnie and Alice were left in the scene.
Winnie finally stopped crying, wiped the tears on her face and said looking at Alice, “You want to pick up the dress? But the dress is so damaged that it won't be of any use even to pick it up.”
Alice took a look at her.
“It is still useful.”
Hearing that, Winnie was stunned, “What do you mean?”
“It is not time to despair.” Alice calmly looked around, and then said in a low voice, “Tell me how you found this happened.”
“I...” Winnie pressed her lips and squirmed for a moment. “Yesterday I was very happy, so I invited everyone out for a drink and... It was my first work to be displayed in the exhibition hall. Although no one came to visit it, I am still happy. So I went back and had a look at the dress. It was fine when I was here, but when I came back this morning, it looked like this. I think Yanis is right. It is burglary, so it became like this.”
“Burglary?” Alice gave a low smile, “Do you think the person of burglary would make such a noise?”
Winnie was stunned, “What do you mean?”
“If it was burglary, there was a thief, trying to steal something valuable. But since he wanted to steal something valuable, why did he have to destroy it?”
Winnie blinked her eyes, “Perhaps because there was nothing valuable, he became angry from embarrassment?”
“If you were a thief and you stole from this company, would you get angry and smash all the glass, including the contents inside at night to attract the attention of the residents nearby?”
“No, I won’t be so stupid. These things make a loud sound when they fall to ground. They're very attractive.”
At this point, Winnie gave a sudden jerk and thought of something.
“Wasn't it burglary, but...” She widened her eyes, looking at Alice.
Alice did not answer. At this time Yanis was back with the gloves. Alice put it on and bent over to gently pat the glass fragments away, saving the dress from the clutter.
When she took the dress out, Yanis and Winnie want to take it, but Alice said frowning, “Don't touch it, there may be broken glass inside, don't hurt your hand.”
So Yanis and Winnie had to retreat to the side and wait.
Alice out the dress down on a space and then took off the gloves.
“Alice, your leg got hurt.” Yanis noticed her ankles had a few spots of blood, but Alice did not feel pain, so she ignored them, “It doesn’t matter, there may be a lot of hidden glass inside, we have to find them out.”
Winnie crouched down beside her, with a dejected look.
“But what happens after we find them? The dress is ruined and the press conference that Lexi is to attend is approaching. We have no time to make a new one.”
