He massaged his forehead with his left hand, and gave a big sigh as if he did something tiring. Which he's not and obviously sitting for an hour. He fixed his position because he's uncomfortable in his seat.
"Are you alright sir?" The flight attendance asked the passenger.
Lee, Lee Clarke. His full name. A successful Singaporean business man. He was well known yet he isn't close to anyone except his sister and mother.
However, his relation with his father is the opposite. He really hated him and plan to run away at peace and never seeing him again.
Lee looks at the window seeing they're almost close to land. He was either happy or abit disappointed, maybe because he doesn't to be bothered by someone when he lands with his family. Though it looks like his whole family are in disguise.
He looks back inside and closed his eyes to relax. Tho he can still hear the flight attendances chit-chatting since his seat is close to them.
He opened his eyes and took his phone. It's 9:30. Few more minutes until the airplame lands at Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
He looked at the window and looked back inside again. Almost one of the flight attendances can see what he's doing. Was he really that impatient? That one flight attendance thought.
Before anything, the man looked up in Google maps. Since he and his family was going to arrived soon, he thought what will he do after.
His family has a big successful business that was passed on for general to generations. Today, they will flew to the country of Philippines.
According to the email that was sent to them that the company is interested on their business and wanted to have a talk about more informations about their businesses.
The business is in his father's hand so the meeting will be led by his father. He never wanted to attend meetings with his father, even if it's a special one.
Subsequently, the father felt the same hatred as his son was giving or showing him. They can just arrange the schedule in separate, since they're rich after all.
The Singaporean searched in the search bar the airline where they're going to land, which is Ninoy Aquino International Airport. He looked around the map.
He also asked his sister who was besides him slowly falling asleep. Her slumber was disturb from being shaken abruptly. She only lightly punched him because of tired and dizziness.
His sister blinked a few times before her vision could show clearness. She looked at her brother with a disappointed look that cause from her sleep.
"What" she spoke sternly and serious like a person who woked up in the morning. Lee finally asked what he needs that his sister only gave a sigh with annoyance.
After getting the answers, he perked up on Google again. It says only 27 minutes to arrive in Manila from the international airport. He leaned and relax on his seat.
While doing so, he accidentally clicked the maps. It transferred where the map of the Philippines is showing. He tried to scroll up and down as he wanders and tries to find something that will make him interested.
Since they're going to visit the capital of the Philippines, he ofcourse thought that it's very populated and many people are there. Which he did not like it. He's like a lonely person, or maybe just wanted some time alone.
Maybe he can be alone by going in a different direction from his family are heading to. He go in south while the others go to north. He wanted to visit Laguna.
