LEIRIN ANDREA PATTERSON
Napabalikwas ako ng bangon dahil sa aking napanaginipan. Masyado ko yatang dinibdib iyong pinagagawa ni Artemis kahapon kaya hanggang sa panaginip ay dinadalaw ako ng mga files na nirereview ko.
Parang kailangan ko nang lutasin ang problemang iyon agad-agad, pero paano? Kahit na marami nang napaliwanag sa akin si Terrence ay hindi ko pa rin gaanong kabisado ang kabuuan ng Black Heaven Organization sa dami ng sangay nito.
Napahilamos na lamang ako sa aking mukha gamit ang aking mga kamay. I checked the clock and it was thirty minutes before six. Kahit na medyo bitin pa ay pinilit ko na lamang tumayo para maligo.
Matapos maligo ay agad akong bumaba at pagsilip ko sa hapag-kainan ay naghahanda pa lang ng almusal ang aming mga kasambahay. Muli akong umakyat para kuhanin ang laptop na siyang ibinigay sa akin ni Kuya Lance noong bagong dating pa lamang ako.
Ang sabi niya ay may access iyon sa lahat ng aspeto ng Black Heaven Organization.
I sat in the living room and opened some files. These are only general guidelines and won't help me with what I am looking for. I need more specific procedural guidelines para maunawaan ko kung paano nagwowork ang internal control ng BHO. I need to know the sources and the destination of these financial movements. I need a broader perspective.
"Why are you up this early?"
Naputol ang aking malalim na pag-iisip dahil sa biglaang pagbati sa akin ni Dad.
"I had a weird dream," nahihiyang sagot ko sabay kagat sa aking pang-ibabang labi.
He slowly nodded before he fired another question, "What are you doing now?"
"Art told me that someone's trying to steal funds from the organization, and I am trying to search for the root of it," simpleng sagot ko.
A bright idea came by. Though I was blushing from a bit of embarrassment, I still asked my Dad, "Would it be okay if you show me where I can find the flow of our financial transactions? As in procedures specified to each of our associates, the bookkeeping tools we use, the approvals, and the like. I want to understand how the organization's internal control works."
My father smiled before he sat beside me.
"Ah, give me your phone," he suddenly ordered as if he realized something. I immediately handed my father my phone, and he typed something.
"Open the organization's system on your device and log in using this credential. This can view everything, even the deleted files. It's a secret that the Patterson Family holds," paliwanag nito nang kaniyang i-abot sa aking ang aking cellphone. "I trust that you are going to keep it. Kayong dalawa lang ni Lance ang pinagkatiwalaan ko niyan," he continued.
"Thank you, Dad," nahihiyang sagot ko naman.
"This proves that I wasn't wrong about you. You are as competitive as your Mom," he teased, and I felt blood rushing down my cheeks.
