Loyalty pays alot

“Not everyone truly loves to see an honest person be an accountant in any organization that has a strong motive towards their goals, but I will keep up with the company standard, no matter what" said Mr. Lola to his wife when they were discussing in their bedroom.

Mr. Kola seems to be an accountant in an M&B company; he was known to be a man of standard who does not compromise in doing his job. At a certain time, he has the opportunity to defraud the company, but he does not take heed to the advice of his colleague to do such things.

“Man, you need to wise up when you see an opportunity to do something and use it wisely to help your financial status. You're just dulling yourself to enjoy this opportunity after all, you'd chop up the money and clean up, pretending that it's just a damaged good that causes the loss to the company account. At least, if you cannot beat them, you need to join them."

Mr. Kola smiled and said, You have a good point, but it's dangerous advice that is meant not to be followed.

This statement makes Mr. Kola furious with his friend. After his friend said that statement, he got confused, trying to compromise his stand but his wife seemed to encourage him not to give up rather than take his stand.

Everyone's manager seems to have disliked Mr. Kola for who he is. Ever since Mr. Kola was made the accountant of the company, he declined the opportunity for them to enjoy the company's money.

But something seems to happen after the managers in the company have tried their best to confuse the accountant.

He left the office so early that day to attend his child's school meeting because his wife wasn't feeling too well.

Then one of his friends in the office went to the office, logged into his office system, made a forgery of certain money, and gave it to the secretary to print it out, then gave it to the accountant to sign on it.

I guess you might be wondering how he knows the accountant's password on his system; he has seen the accountant using the password in the past.

This plan seems to be planned by the rest of the managers in the office. The next day, the secretary allowed the accountant to sign it. It was a clean and successful operation just to implicate Mr. Kola, the accountant.

A few weeks later, he was meant to submit the account statement for the expenses paid for that month. Then he discovered that $2 million was missing, and it had affected the company account. He seems to stink and surprised, not knowing how the money went missing.

When he submitted the report, the MD of the company observed it and asked him to produce the money in the next seven days. Mr. Kola was devastated, not knowing what to do.

When the seven days expired, he was arrested for the money. Then he was forced to sign a document stating that he would be paying the money with 50% of his salary. This got him more devastated, but he had no choice but to continue his work at that company.

The other colleague makes a mockery of him, while his friend feels so guilty for doing that.

His friend decided to tell the MD what happened because his guilty conscience has continued to grip him more often when he sees his friend lamenting, even though he knew that the consequences that would fall on him might be a high risk of either losing his job or they might be arrested for such complications.

One day, he took his ground, making a strong decision to tell the MD for him to also have a clean conscience. He told the MD, who seemed surprised that such an allocation was committed to implicate the accountant. His friend has been good to him, having a free mind with him, taking him as his brother.

Then the MD sanctioned the manager who was involved, giving them a six-month suspension, working without being paid.

When Mr. Kola heard about it, he was happy, even though he was not aware that his friend was also involved in implicating him.

Periodically, it pays to be a good person with a good mind. Mr. Kola's loyalty pays him plenty of benefits for his career. He got promoted and also had more privileges to travel for training and holidays. He forgives his friend and also assists him with some financial needs when necessary.
