The Case:

Benjamin is working as an accountant. His working hours are between 7.30 am and 6.00 pm. Benjamin is planning to travel abroad to visit his family this weekend. He finds very affordable flight tickets with a departure scheduled for Thursday, at 2 Oclock. Benjamin would like to buy these tickets so he can save some money but he has a problem. He is working on Thursday and by the company rules he cannot leave the office before 6 pm unless it is an urgent/unexpected matter. Benjamin can ask for a leave for a half of day, however he prefers to keep it for another day and he plans to tell his manager that his daughter is very sick and that he has to take her to the doctor in order to leave early.
