Elena Skies stepped off the plane in Manila. The tropical humidity hit her immediately, She moved through the airport, her security team discreetly flanking her.
As she exited the terminal, a woman holding a sign with her name approached her.
"Ms. Skies, welcome to the Philippines. I'm Juliet Schmidt, from Reyes Corporation."
"I know you," Elena said, recognizing her. "You are the Chief of Staff of the CEO of Reyes Corporation, Mr. Reyes himself."
"That is correct," Juliet replied with a professional smile. "I'll be taking you to our headquarters."
Elena nodded, appreciating the recognition. "Thank you, Ms. Schmidt. Let's get going."
Juliet led Elena to a black Toyota Alphard parked just outside the terminal. The vehicle was sleek and comfortable, a welcome respite from the bustling airport. Once inside, Elena settled into her seat, her mind focused on the upcoming meeting.
