He's back?

After two hours of seemingly endless lapse the race have ended with Chris as the winner. It delighted the crowd. Overjoyed, Sammies was crying and smiling at the same time.

The Formula One after-party was held at Amber Lounge Singapore. Amber Lounge builds a custom venue near Singapore's Millenia Tower. The parties at the Singapore Grand Prix are lively, with half a dozen groups promoting events. This party is not only for the drivers and their team but also has V.I.P. guest list that included models, sports stars, musicians and royalty. Chris Monteverde is not a party person so he would normally show up to this kind of event and will soon leave after a while but as tonight's race winner he have no other choice but to stay somewhat longer than usual.

Sammie and her group immediately head back to the hotel so they can rest. Their flight is scheduled at 9 am so they all checked out early and went straight to the airport.

At Changi International Airport

"We still have an hour. You can go directly to the boarding gate or stroll around and proceed at the gate 30 minutes before our flight." Miss Rivera reminded them

Sammie was still sleepy so she decided to go directly in the boarding gate to nap while the others grab some snacks and do last minute airport shopping. When she reached the boarding gate only few passengers are waiting there. She randomly chosen a seat near the glass window and sat down comfortably while placing her hand carry bag in front of her. She used her scarf to cover her face. After twenty minutes into her sleep, someone nudge her hand carry bag causing it to bump her legs.

"Excuse me." Coming from a man in a haughty voice. He sat beside her.

She angrily removed the scarf on her face and yells at the man in front of her. "It hurts you know next time…" When she recognizes the man beside her she cannot continue with her words. "… Never mind. It's OK." Then lowered her head.

He looked at her and pause then release a long deep breath. "It's you again." He then crossed his legs and made himself busy browsing his phone. Sammie pretended she didn't hear him and put the scarf back on her face.

"We are on the same flight? Is destiny playing games with me?" she thought. Then suddenly she realizes something. "President Lee never fly on economy, it's always business class. He should be on the business class area. Maybe he got confused or … wait a minute." She suddenly removed the scarf covering her face then look around her. Her face turned red when she saw that she was seating on the business class area. Since when she arrived only few passengers are there she just randomly picks a particular place to seat and immediately falls asleep. Embarrassed with the situation, she suddenly stands up picked her hand carry bag and moved towards the other side. Luckily she saw Ivy waving at her pointing a vacant seat beside her. She felt relieved.

But the man beside her has a different perspective of the situation. He thought that she acted too much and did it on purpose to embarrass him. "What a petty-minded woman." He muttered.

At Manila International Airport

Sammie said goodbye to Miss Rivera and the group then booked her ride home. On her way home, she received a text message.

[Cathy: Best, Buon Cibo's soft opening is moved this Saturday, don't forget.] She remembers that because of her recent trip the opening date was changed to a later date. She doesn't know much about Food industry but since her best friend Cathy Fernandez is a chef and wants to venture in a restaurant business she decided join them. Cathy is the head chef, another friend of them Mizzy Gonzalez, is the manager and since Sammie has a regular job she will just help out during weekends. She then replied [OK, will be there.] after she sends her reply she received another message. It is from a number not listed on her phone book.

[Are you back?] she thought for a few minutes while looking at the text message before replying. She thought that someone from the office might have send it.

[Yes, who is this?] she is expecting a reply but instead her phone rings. It's a call from the same number.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"It's Kyle, can we meet up?" she froze upon hearing his voice. "He's back? I haven't hear from this man for more than a year. Why he suddenly wants to see me? Is it about the condo unit? But he no longer wants it. What it is now?" she ponders.

"Hello Sammie, still there?" she then snaps back to reality when she heard him the second time.

"Sorry I can't. I'm busy" she mumbles.

"Sammie, please just this once. I just need to see you badly." He pleads.

"Am… "Sammie is still thinking of countering him when the driver suddenly speaks.

"Ma'am, we are here." She then reaches out for her wallet to pay his fare.

"Oh, here. Thank you" She opened the car door and step out while the driver took out his luggage from the trunks. Then she checked her phone to see if he already hangs up and he did. She felt relieved.
