Chapter 15: The Audit

I come face to face with a door that towers over me. It is at least three metres tall. I look up at its majestic size in awe.

The door is the entrance that leads to the financier for our company. It is a massive building with eighteen stories and with an renowned architect that designed its jaggered box shape.

The office boxes are stacked on top of each other like building blocks. Colliding towards the middle as the pinnacle of the building. To say it is anything short of amazing would be lying.

I take three steps back and admire at this huge behemoth that houses one of the top financiers in the city. Strangely enough, there is not a single person nearby.

I squint and look into the buildings, there is not a single soul in the lobby too. The front desk has giant computer screens and the large digital directories are all switched off.

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

The lights too are off and I notice some organic plants withering in the corner of the front desk. The brochures on the desk are untouched. The landline phone sits silent atop the counter.

It is a ghost town.

I stare at the ceilings with a faint feeling of despair in my heart. I turn and look around me to check again. Sure enough, there is not a single person moving up the escalators or anywhere close to the lobby. It is completely empty.

"Hey is anyone in here! Hello?" I shout at the top of my lungs as my voice reverberates on the fragile glass doors.

There is no reply. Only silence.

I fish out my smartphone and call Ashley to check back.

The line does not go through. I am stuck here. "There's no telling what is going on I tell you. This is one of the biggest financier in all of our city!" I grimace angrily into the voicemail.

A cold bleep follows the resigned line.
