" Nevermind. How about we get practical?"

"Sure."

He moved leisurely to his shelf and grabbed some documents, he walked back to me and placed them in front of me.

"These are the records of this company for the past five years. I'd like you to go through and pinpoint the shortcomings. "

" But this is an auditor's work? "

" What? Is it not part of being an accountant? "

" Yeah but this is really gonna take forever. "

" Is that a complaint coming out of your mouth? "

" No but... "

" Do you want this job or not? " he began to roll his sleeves up.

" Yes... "

" Then keep quiet and do as you were told. "

" Alright, can I have all the receipts? "

" Sure, why not? " He brought them to me.

As an audit of a bank, which I am currently, I have to provide users such as lenders and investors with an enhanced degree of confidence in the financial statements.

To form that opinion, I have to gather appropriate and sufficient evidence and observe, test, compare, and confirm until gaining reasonable assurance.
After doing all that, it is then I can form an opinion of whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement due to fraud or error.

So much work to be done in just a day.
I know why he's doing this but I won't give in so quickly.

I got to work, there was an air conditioner in the office but I was sweating profusely. Should it be under his hot gaze?

It's been a while I studied and I have to recollect all of them and used it to judge whether the financial statements recorded by the accountants are true or false.

God. I don't even have any experience.

Two hours into the work, I still haven't made any progress.

"Are you sure you can do this?" He asked.

"Yes," I assured him.

After another three hours, I was almost done with a year's recording. I could feel his eyes on me the whole time.

I wonder if there haven't been any auditors in this company.

The errors in the record are just too much.

After the next hour, I was through with year one.

I checked the time and it was 2 pm.
I yawned tiredly. I am so hungry.

"Are you sure you can do this?" He asked again.

"I'll manage," I stated firmly.

"Alright." He shrugged and went back to sit.

"I'm hungry." I blurted finally.

"You can go. It's not like I tied you here." He said boringly.

See? He's a devil.

I got up and went to the canteen after following the directions given by one of the workers.

After getting something to eat, I came back only to find the office empty but it was a relief. Finally I don't have to work under those eagle eyes of his.

At six pm, I was still struggling with the second year.

Did he want to kill me? This work is difficult than I thought.
And since he didn't return,I picked my bag with the intention of continuing tomorrow.

I wonder what kind of interview he was taking me through. It looks like he's doing this intentionally so that I would back down.

But what could be his reason?

Once I stepped out of the office, I met him.

"Given up already?" He asked teasingly.

"No, it's late and I need to go home."

"That's incompetence and laziness, miss Grande. You can't go home without finishing up your work"

Work? I thought I came for an interview?

" Please I have to. I promise to finish it up tomorrow." I pleaded.

" Why are you in so much hurry to go home? Is there someone you're missing so much? Is it a baby?"

My eyes widened.

Is this guesswork or he actually knows.

I met him only today and even though his voice sounds familiar, that doesn't give enough reason for him to know something as such about me.

Who's he?
