Dailey waved him off, "Hurry him up." Not wanting to provoke Dailey, the manager made another call in his presence.

Merritt, watching from behind, was puzzled. How could these two still stand side by side, ready for battle? And after their initial confusion, they were anything but panicky.

Just then, Nelly approached.
"Dai..." Dailey glanced at her, "Why are you here?" Nelly fidgeted, her long hair falling over her pale, delicate face as she slightly bowed her head.
Dressed in a simple white dress, her vulnerable appearance was enough to stir a protective instinct in any man.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Dailey didn't bother with pleasantries. Ignoring the man's outstretched hands, he got straight to the point, "To the surveillance room." Once there, Dailey demanded the footage from around eleven o'clock the previous night.
The surveillance staff hesitated, "It's gone."

To keep his activities secret, he smashed the hard drives and dumped them in water. We lost not just last night's footage but everything from the past month." The hotel owner was sweating bullets. He couldn't afford to offend the big shots of Vista Town.
"Don't worry, Mr. Clarkson, it's not a big deal. I've got backups."
"Boss, for the sake of client confidentiality, our surveillance m system has an auto destruct feature. If the hard drives are damaged, it'll delete all data from the cloud." "And it's permanent. Irrecoverable."
