Lee Yoon-Ah arrived at Director Kim's office, looking for answers about the artifact. But as she entered, she was met with a gruesome sight.
Director Kim lay on the floor, a single bullet wound to his chest. His eyes were frozen in a permanent stare, his body limp.
Lee Yoon-Ah's scream echoed through the room as she rushed to his side. "Director Kim! No!"
She felt for a pulse, but there was none. He was gone.
Tears streamed down her face as she rocked back and forth, holding Director Kim's lifeless body.
"Why? Why did you have to die?" she whispered, her heart shattered.
As she looked up, she saw a piece of paper on Director Kim's desk. A note, scribbled in haste
Lee Yoon-Ah's eyes widened as she read the note on Director Kim's desk. It was a warning, scribbled in his familiar handwriting:
"Yoon-Ah, if you're reading this, I'm probably gone. Don't trust Chairman Lee. He's not what he seems. Get out while you still can. And find Tae-Ho. He's the only one who can help you now."
Lee Yoon-Ah felt a chill run down her spine. Director Kim had been trying to protect her all along.
She looked around the room, feeling a sense of unease. She knew she had to get out of there, fast.
As she turned to leave, she saw a figure watching her from the shadows. It was one of Chairman Lee's bodyguards.
