The reason for her appearance turned out to be far more terrifying than he could have imagined…

The black sedan smoothly pulled away from the skyscraper. Leonard Harrison, owner of a multibillion-dollar corporation, slumped into the seat, loosened his tie, and exhaled wearily. The day had been hell. He wanted nothing but a moment of peace.
