Timothy and Hana stepped into the elevator, the polished metal doors sliding shut behind them. The hum of the air-conditioning filled the silence as the floor numbers lit up one by one. Hana held her handbag close to her chest, her tablet tucked neatly inside, ready for the meeting.
Timothy leaned against the side panel casually, then glanced at her. "By the way, Hana, since you'll be spending a lot of time here… have you arranged everything for your stay? You know the Philippines has restrictions. Most tourists can only stay thirty days."
Hana looked up and faced him with a composed look.
"Yes, I handled it before I came. I applied for a special visa through the Philippine Embassy in Seoul. It allows me to stay longer for work-related purposes. I won't have to worry about leaving after thirty days."
