One night she encounters the managing director in the boardroom, sitting in his chair at the head of the table. She hastily walks up to him, and to her horror, she finds him dead. She rushes up to her apartment to call someone, but who? Deciding it better to return to the boardroom to determine what exactly happened, she finds the dead man gone…
