that dress I liked." Clark nodded. "Alright." Cindy initially considered suggesting that a maid look for the dress but then reconsidered. If Nyla wanted to find it herself, it would save the service staff the trouble.
Once inside Clark's bedroom, Nyla locked the door behind her and quickly moved to the balcony. After ensuring no one was around, she carefully climbed over to Cyrus' study.

If you helpthrough this, I'll repay you with interest." Had it not been for the company's dire straits and Richard's refusal to assist, Cyrus would not have approached Damon.
Damon remained indifferent. Just as he was about to speak, he glanced toward the curtain. Without showing any reaction, he turned back to Cyrus, who was about to sit in the chair facing the curtain. "Cyrus, sit over there." Cyrus looked puzzled. "Why?" "I prefer this spot," Damon deadpanned.

Damon chuckled, but his eyes remained icy. "I saw you hiding m behind. the curtain on the left side of Window. 'If you don't admit it, I'll the go tell Cyrus right now and see if anything is missing from his study."
