It's the morning of the next day's meeting, and we're told that Mr. Co. has run away from work and is now hanging out at a pub with a woman he doesn't know. We're also told that he's been flirting with another woman, and that she's just as in love with him as he is with the woman he works for. We learn that the woman's name is Niwa, and she'll be arriving at the office in a couple of hours.
