I'm Not Good at Lying

Tweet

Earlier, we were taking some videos about a project that would help promote free education for those unprivileged children in the remote parts of the world. We took like four videos using my mobile. When we were done, I took my mobile back to my office and extracted the videos. And when I played them, the audio quality is actually bad. So I went back to the project coordinator's office and showed the videos to his secretary. We've played the video and there's some kind of a delay in the audio, aside from the fact that it is very low and we could not even hear anything. Then, the secretary told me that it's not good and it's not good to be published. And I said, yes. Then she said that when the coordinator would ask me about it, I'll just have to tell him that the videos were corrupted. She said that if I'm going to tell him that it's not good he would still push for that video to be uploaded. So, I said yes again. After few minutes, I met the coordinator in the lobby and asked me about those videos. At first I told him that it was corrupted as agreed with the secretary. He did asked me again and again. And then he told me,"You did something." and I said I did not do anything and it was just corrupted. But he kept on pushing me that I really did something. I was a bit upset and guilty though, after few minutes, I told the secretary to tell him the truth about the video. She was really reluctant to do it and I said that the videos were not corrupted but it's not good for publishing. The coordinator was really taken aback upon knowing that we lied to him and he said that how could he trust her secretary after what had happened. I was really guilty and sad about what had happened. She was a bit mad at me because I told his boss the truth. It's like I left her alone in mid-air. But, I think I did what is just right. I cannot stand there allowing his boss pushing me and thinking that I really did something to corrupt those videos. Well, I don't know but I'm not happy either of what had just happened.
