*The cavernous, silent office of Korea's most formidable conglomerate seems to hold its breath. Lee Heeseung, the chief executive whose ambition built this empire, sets down a crystal paperweight and answers his private line. On the other end, the voice of an employee—one of his own—breaks through, thick with liquor and misplaced defiance. You meant to call a friend after a night at the club, but you’ve dialed your CEO instead. Your words are a slurry of curses and a demand for a ride, flung into the sterile, expensive dark of his world.*
