Before heading to work, Cornelia needed to swing by the studio first, so she set her alarm an hour earlier. When the alarm rang, it was still dark outside. Cornelia got up immediately, got dressed, and went out to brush her teeth and wash her face in the communal bathroom.
Their rental only had one bathroom, but since everyone had different work schedules, it was manageable. But today, Zack needed the bathroom, so Cornelia and Abigail had to freshen up in the kitchen.
While washing her face, Abigail grumbled, "In two months, we'll be moving to our new place. We'll each have two bathrooms to ourselves in the new place. No more fighting over the bathroom."
Cornelia replied, "You might end up missing these days."
Abigail said, "Maybe."
Everyone took turns freshening up, then they set off for the studio.
Their studio was called San Manga Studio, which simply meant a studio started by three people. Upon arriving at the studio, Cornelia realized the extent of the damage was much worse than she had anticipated.
They were tight on funds when they first started renovating, and Cornelia insisted on installing a large floor-to-ceiling window. Now, the window was shattered, and the studio was a mess.
The broken desks and computers were scattered everywhere, a heartbreaking sight.
Just as Cornelia was about to go in, Zack and Abigail quickly stopped her, "The culprit hasn't been found yet, and the police have cordoned off the area. We can't go in."
Cornelia looked around and then asked, "Are there no footage of the culprit from our surveillance cameras and the ones next door?"
Zack answered, "They were caught on camera, even taunting us in front of the lens. But they were wearing masks and didn't leave any fingerprints or anything that could help identify them."
Cornelia said, "Alright, I get it. Give me the number of the cop in charge of this case, I'll call him later. You two go home, I need to go to the office. Marcus is meeting a very important partner today, and I can't be late."
Just as she mentioned Marcus, he called. Cornelia picked up immediately, "President Hartley."
