I lost a friend because of money

Tweet

I met a woman whom I considered my best friend, even treating her daughters as my own. We both worked in an internationally funded project. While the project is being implemented, our friendship ran smoothly, however, when the project phased out, I was requested by our Project Director to submit the final financial report making it appear that there is no more fund left in the foundation because we shall use the remaining funds in other projects. Afraid that I would earn the ire of the Director, I forced myself to comply. Mind you, we still have 7.34Million Philippine pesos as remaining funds, and the sole beneficiary? my friend who happened to be the Cashier of the foundation. They were able to put up businesses and purchased a new car. After a year and after suffering guilt feeling for being an accomplice to the "crime", I finally earned enough courage to go to the Director and tell him everything even showing him evidences, records of personal usage of the fund by the Cashier and her family. The Director was surprised and promised that he will not tell my friend about the discovery. However, much to my dismay, I found out that he met with the cashier and her husband the following day and told them what I divulged to him. From then on and up to now, the couple never talked to me again.
