By the time the plane landed in Satbury, it was the middle of the night.
At border control, the officer flipped through Evelyn’s documents and asked her a few standard questions.
“Ms. Evelyn Walsh, how long do you plan to stay in Algaria?”
“I’ve received a job offer from a company in Satbury, and my work visa has already been processed. I expect to be here for about
